Broncos, Raiders, Chargers. Better than we thought they were?
 

So this past Sunday, the AFC West went 3 out of 3 against the NFC North, a division populated by the Packers (7-2) and the Vikings (6-3), two playoff caliber teams.

Perhaps three, if we include the Lions (3-4-1) who are the outside looking in right now, but have proven statistically and on the field that they are a tough football team trending towards becoming a good one in the near future.

But somehow the Chiefs, Raiders, and Chargers all defeated their respective NFC North opponents over the weekend.

So the question must be asked: are our division rivals actually better than we thought they were? Why or why not?

This is a hypothetical question, btw. A mental exercise. I'm not saying that I believe that the Chargers/Broncos/Raiders are playoff caliber teams. Just thought it might be an interesting debate topic.

Not really. A bad team and two mediocre teams. Unless you are a total dreg POS team(Bengals, Dolphins)you’re going to beat a decent team or two per year.

Also, when did the Browns move to the NFC?

No.

No. They all suck.

Raiders are underrated. As is Carr.

This, and

Good catch. Meant to type Chiefs. Somehow got on the Browns. They were just talking about the Browns on TV; musta crossed me up.

The Raiders Derek Carr just threw for a 71% completion percentage, has 13 TDs against 4 INTs. Josh Jacobs is arguably a top 10 RB, maybe top 5. And they defeated a Lions team that came within a 99-yard fumble return of defeating our Chiefs (maybe, but the Lions were a tough out for the Chiefs).

The Chargers thoroughly dominated a Packers team that the Chiefs couldn't beat, in spite of a solid performance by our defense and a very good performance by Matt Moore.

Our Chiefs defeated the Vikings, led by October's Offensive Player of the Month, a legitimate top 5 offense and top 5 defense. And were considered the hottest team in the league going into Sunday.

Even the Broncos starting a back-up QB and a team with more holes in it than a block of swiss cheese somehow managed to beat the Browns, a team that on paper should've dominated that game.

Was that all just luck?

Cool. Just ****ing with you

Lmao

Fyp

Yes, Carr isn't a bad QB. He's just a less clutch version of Alex Smith. And a huge pussy.

THEY ALL SUCK, DUMBASD!!!!!!
