The reason I just cant buy in on the Broncos is that the teams they have beaten this year are a combined 42-78.

Their strength of schedule measure is lower than only 2 other teams in the AFC and depending on results tomorrow, will have only 1 win against a playoff team...either Atlanta or Tampa...niether of which are great teams.

Buy in as what exactly though? First round playoff exit? I don’t think anyone says they are more than that.

Was like what, two weeks ago, "The Rams and Bucs are the teams no one wants to play". Good times.

Rams get a fake first down that isn't reviewed to cause the drive to continue and now will get at least 3 and maybe 7 points.

Fake sport.

Overall it was a very poorly coached game by both Taylor and Payton. Taylor was far worse with game management, Payton with some cowardly play calling at bad times. But hey it made for a fun game.

Where can you find that info?

Id be interested to see the NFC North teams as well, as the whole division seems to have had a pretty soft schedule this year

NFC North got the AFC South and NFC West as their crossovers, AFC South is obviously awful and the NFC West not great either.

Yes. First because as noted the refs gifted the Rams 3 points at the end of the second quarter, the Cards needed a TD instead of a field goal and that's the result.

It's a perfect example of it being a fake sport - an objectively wrong call that changes the course of a game, and because there are so few games, changes the whole season.

We could also talk about the jersey pull on McBride which is of course PI, but they don't call that consistently.

So, yes - fake as ####.

Fake sport, but the pain and hurt is so real.

You guys sure are sensitive about your fake sport. At least over in the WWE thread they aren't thin skinned.
