The Browns may actually be turning the corner a bit.

One dumb goon's quick ranks so far:
Good teams: Chiefs, Raiders, Titans
Probably good teams: Patriots, Steelers, Cowboys, Packers, Vikings
Maybe good teams: Eagles, Panthers, Browns, Jaguars, Rams, Broncos, Seahawks, Ravens, Falcons, Lions
Probably bad teams: Washington, Bills, Giants, Chargers, Bengals, Bears, Saints, Cardinals
Bad teams: 49ers, Colts, Texans, Jets
N/A: Bucs, Dolphins
Most arguably one rank up: Eagles, Seahawks, Falcons

I'm not sure why the Titans deserve to be in this tier.

I think they'll probably end up pretty good but the offense didn't do enough against what I still consider a questionable at best defense. Albeit with one great player.

The Jaguars are a noted Bad Team that beat a team on your "Bad Team" list, yet you rank them as a Maybe Good team? They should be in the Probably Bad Teams list, along with the Titans.

^^ Please send feedback to beefstache911@hotmail.com, this is not a joke that 'stache is the real deal. Serious assessments only. ^^

The Packers beat the Seahawks and now everyone's hopes are all up the the defense is going to do good or something. The Packers D proved literally nothing against the Seahawks. Last year the Packers held the Seahawks to just 10 points after intercepting Wilson 5 times and everyone knew they were still not good. Now they play a team that scored 77 points and dumped almost 900 yards of offense on them a year ago - and the Packers are using roughly the same players.

I'm expecting the worst but I'll be pleasantly surprised to be see them do well again.

Both the Titans and Raiders played technically sound games, both offenses looked great, defenses were okay but there were no huge broken plays, no turnovers, no clownball. Just a solid game where both teams look good the whole way through which didn't happen in any other game

Their secondary was horribly beat up last year. They should be more competitive this year. ATL squeaked by the Bears with some luck involved.

I was thinking about it, as players get stronger and faster, are we going to start seeing more and more bad offensive lines? My line of thought is that more strength will benefit those attempting to run around someone as opposed to someone who has to shuffle and block.

I know there's a lot of other issues at hand, like the rules regarding (a lack of) contact at practice which basically means offensive lines have to learn on the job as opposed to during the week. I know it's not just the Seahawks that have a poo poo line, I feel like it's been a growing problem.

One major difference is that we have all our defensive starters (except possibly Brooks) playing this year instead of half of them injured. That really belies your claim about "roughly the same players". Gunter is now actually our 4th CB instead of being forced to cover Julio Jones for the entire match.

I think it'll be a much closer match than the previous two outings.

I mean players have been getting stronger and faster every year since the 40s or something, so...if lines get worse now for that specific reason it seems like we would have seen it at some point before.

In all seriousness, I am worried about Joe long term. He looked very stiff on Sunday. Almost as though he had a nagging back injury that was unlikely to cured be by 300 pound men smashing into him at high speed on a weekly basis. Hopefully the two wins (Browns, Jags) over the next two weeks will buy more than enough time for Flacco to receive the senzu beans I FedEX ground shipped him like a week ago.

Flacco looked completely unable to throw the ball with any velocity more than like 10 yards, which might an issue against teams that manage to score more than zero points
