Football One-third of NFL teams suck: only 1 or 2 wins to date

scho63 · Today, 06:38 AM

I was looking at the overall standings for the league on the NFL's website and at the bottom of the standings are 10 teams out of 32 with only 1 or 2 wins.

I know there are always a handful of shit shows but this year seems like a wide chasm between the better teams and the turds in the punchbowl.

I don't remember this many teams all sucking at once in years prior.

Add in all the injuries and this has been a strange season so far.

The only consistent are my favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs.

Shrug. Each game needs a winner and a loser.

I’d rather have a league where there are clear cut dominant teams than a league where everybody hovers around .500. In my opinion the latter is a true mark of whether or not a league’s product sucks that season.

Oh I count 31 teams that suck and the only team that doesn't suck is 7-0

That means the Chiefs have made 1/3 of the opponents give up.

Expect MOAR on the way.

The league has gone downhill for years. If it wasn’t for the Chiefs, sports betting and fantasy, I’d watch almost no games.

Bad year for injuries to be sure, plus alot of injury carry over from last year.

The AFC Least is the same as it ever was - except New England and Buffalo have switched spots.

OP piqued my interest an took a look at the standing as well, and damn there's some real dumpster fires. Let's take a deeper look by division.

AFC East;
Miami (2-5); yeah this happens when your QB has a noodle arm and a death wish / desire to turn is brains into scrambled eggs
New England (2-6); not unexpected, total rebuild and I don't think the HC is the right person for this task
NY Jets (2-6); yeah putting all your eggs in the Rodgers basket is flaming out

AFC North
Cleveland (2-6); so replacing the flaming crater that was Watson at QB was the key to a modicum of improvement on offense, NO WAY!!!

AFC South
Jacksonville (2-6); this team is cooked, like the entire team is just going through the motions and picking up a check
Tennessee (1-6); team in total transition, think KC in the Gunther era, nothing defines this team yet, and no a mayo loving headcase at QB does not define the team

AFC West
Las Vegas (2-6); the evergreen dumpster fire that is the Raiders will always be fun

NFC East
NY Giants (2-6); Jones is cooked, Daboll is cooked

NFC South
New Orleans (2-6); David Carr was the answer?!? I am shocked as everyone else
Carolina (1-7); yeah the Alabama midget ain't the answer now or later

The Cardinals with a QB still in diapers is the current 4 seed in the NFC

Its bad

Historically, football has been a pretty top heavy sport, I think because the success rate is so high... QBs completing passes at a 60%+ rate, RBs gaining at least a few yards per carry, etc.

Same for shooting in the NBA, and not similar at all to MLB hitters at a 25-30% success rate or NHL scorers at closer to a 10% success rate.

I think the NFL rages against that trend and we end up with a bunch of 4-4 vs 4-4 and 5-2 vs 1-6 match ups on the schedule... and most likely when you see two good records up against each other, at least one is a complete fraud because they've just been bearing up shit teams all season.

We're lucky when there are two true SB contenders on each side in the Championship Games, and this season I have no clue if we'll see more than one or two total.

Last year if I remember right, like 22 teams at this point of the season were either a game over or a game under .500

Then 4-5 elites and 4-5 turds

Seems like more turds this year

Buffalo’s division is a joke. Houston’s division is not much different. Colts are probably the worst of the 4-win teams.

**TinyEvel** · Today, 09:48 AM

All I keep hearing is that the Chiefs are the worst 7-0 team in the league right now.

I agree on this. I'll probably also get downvoted but guys like Tom Brady and Peyton Manning were good for the league.

The years of Rivers, Ryan, Rodgers, Rapeburger, Brady, Peyton Manning, Brees, Eli Manning, Tony Romo, were IMO some of the best watchable football.
