Actually, no. Even though it was prime time, I forget the game was on but I heard good things.

Pretty much agree with the top 10, after that who cares.

After that it's a massive clusterfock and you can get a defendable/valid ranking of the next eight or nine by putting them a hat and pulling them out at random.

Almsot feel like dropping the Lions out of the top 10, but their record is still solid

[Engorgeous George 2,331]

Solid opportunities for teams in the wash to tank.  With half the NFC at 6-7 a teams draft capital can massively improve with a tank job.

They're in a vast, vast no-man's-land that separates the terminally average from the truly elites. Jacksonville is in there with them as are the Flacco-led Browns.

When the season started, I thought win the division and a home playoff game was going to be par. As it went on, I had a glint in my eye with some Super Bowl aspirations. Well, those took a serious hit when they got spanked by Baltimore. Then it morphed into "maybe we can get to the Super Bowl if we can land the #1 seed and have home field on SF and Philly and hopefully Baltimore isn't waiting for us there."

Now it's back to when the season first started ... settle for the three seed and win a home playoff game. This team isn't as good as SF, Philly, and Dallas. The NFC East runner up will get to smash the NFC South winner, meanwhile, the Lions will get a home game against the next best team. If they win, they will go get smoked in the next round.

Ideally they win the next two games, then rest their starters for the last two weeks of the regular season and try to get healthy.
