This is why the NFL is not legally sports. If you want to play a fair game you better be losing teams at noon on CBS, or be winning by 4 touchdowns.

The Broncos are tied for the longest winning streak in the NFL right now in c/nfl@nfl.community

I’m not surprised at all. Every Sean Payton 7-9 season with the Saints had them go on a winning streak to reach .500 at midseason.

Brees was also better than Peyton in every statistic in 09 and they still gave Peyton the MVP. It’s a media award given out by sports writers.

The return of Playoff Joe is only 2-3 wins away for the Browns.

Broncos fans shouldn’t get their hopes up yet (alien.top)
 

Sean Payton has never had a losing season if he was over .500 at any point. Unfortunately he has one kind of losing season.

The 07 Saints and the 14-16 Saints had the exact same 7-9 season, and the Broncos are on the same subpar Sean Payton season trajectory.

2007: Saints start 0-4, they even their record at 4-4 midseason, lose game 9 and never get over .500.

2014: Saints start 1-3, they even their record at 4-4 midseason, lose in OT to the 49ers in game 9 (this was the game where Jimmy Graham’s game winning Hail Mary is called for OPI) and never get over .500.

2015: Saints start 1-4, they even their record at 4-4 midseason, lose in OT to the Titans in game 9 and never get over .500.

2016: Saints start 1-3, they even their record at 4-4 midseason, then lose game 9 to the Broncos via their game winning extra point being blocked and returned by the defense for the Broncos game winning 2 points.

A 7-9 Sean Payton season follows a similar script. The team struggles in September, gets it together midseason, loses the game that will get them over .500 dramatically.

The Broncos this year: start 1-5, even their record at 5-5 midseason, and now we’re at the biggest game of their season. If they can’t beat the 7-3 Browns the Broncos are on the same script.

Their next 4 games are the Browns, Texans, Chargers, and Lions. They could easily find themselves at 5-9 and that would be consistent with the type of bad season Sean Payton has.

For bonus points, even though Payton was suspended in 2012 the Saints still followed the script. Started 0-4, got to 5-5, never got over .500 and finished 7-9.

If you’re the 12th man on special teams shouldn’t you be aware of it? (alien.top)
 

Do teams not use the same 11 players on field goal blocks for every play?

I can understand how you get 12 players on defense because someone was confused about what package you’re running, but if you’re the 12th guy on special teams shouldn’t you stop and think “Hey, I’m not usually out here for these plays, maybe I’m an extra?”

Where will the Pro Football Hall of Fame draw the line with QBs? in c/nfl@nfl.community

I think 28-3 and 33-0 keeps Matt Ryan out of the hall. To me those overshadow his one exceptional season.

Rivers is worthy, the Chargers weren’t good enough for him, and they continue to fail an equally talented QB today. If you can have the number 1 offense and defense but go 8-8 and miss the playoffs that’s on the organization.

I think the real debate here is whether Eli’s 2 rings get him in before Ben despite Ben being objectively more successful in all other measures.
