They need to fix their D, They are in the top Ten, but at the moment KC is top then a mix of ATL, Pats, Oak, GB, Min, Dal, Den. Sea, Ten. All decent teams with flaws. I put the pats on tops because damn they are clutch. KC got the better of them and the Texans finally have a QB that is dangerous. I expect the Texans to really do something this season. Patriots D does need some fine tuning, I will agree with you there. I still haven't been able to really get a sense of all the teams yet because I don't have the NFL package or a set up to allow me to stream 4 games at once to gauge them. But I'll take your word and a few others on the quality of teams playing this year. | ||

No, but they are turned off by people complaining who are compensated for the risk (just like police or miners). They also are turned off by some of the more propaganda-like headlines about it, which creates a self-fulfilling prophesy. Moreover, rule changes related to concussion have already made fans less passionate, and future rule changes likely will as well (if this wasn't true why is the NFL more popular than Arena?). Imo the NFL could take any one of the current problems in stride, but all these issues will erode support unless there league, Union, and players get smarter | ||

I'd rather football be 90% as entertaining as it is now and have these guys less likely to have permanent brain damage that causes them to piss away what money they do get - and the majority don't get the millions upon millions. | ||

I'd bump the chargers up they could just as easily be 2-1 as 0-3. Not saying they making the playoffs or anything But they are a tier above the other teams you have listed there. | ||

Thats why they are at the top almost winning is the same as losing so its hard to gauge their future, but imo with the way shit always goes for the Chargers, it isnt good.

Otherwise, narrowly beating Cincinnati and looking flawed vs NE doesn't have me convinced just yet. Watson looks really promising, but they have a tough road ahead (vs. Titans, vs. KC), hence the "crossroads" | ||
