Here is my recap and analysis of Week 10’s games
Cowboys defeat Eagles 27-20. Big win for the Cowboys on the road against the defending Super Bowl champs, as they’ve struggled on the road this season, their offense played very well, Zeke had a great game which is a major key for the Cowboys, and Dak had one of his best games of the season, and the Cowboys defense did enough. The Cowboys are on the outside looking in but they have enough talent to be in the playoff race. The Eagles are having a lot of struggles, their defense is mediocre, the secondary has had issues all season and the defensive front isn’t as dominant as everyone thought, and they don’t have a good rushing attack with Ajayi out for the season, they have enough talent to be in the playoff race still but they have a lot of issues that they need to work on.
Rams defeat Seahawks 36-31. Rams offense with another terrific game, Goff and Gurley with outstanding outings, their receiving unit is great, their offense is the best in the NFL IMO, their defense needs improvement IMO, they have some very talented players on that side of the ball, but they give up a lot of yards and their LB unit is iffy, overall the Rams are arguably the NFL’s best team. The Seahawks played them very well and are much better than expected, they have a good rushing game for the first time in several seasons and their O-Line is much improved, but their defense is mediocre, especially the secondary. The Seahawks are in the playoff race in the very deep NFC IMO, it will be interesting to see how they do going forward.
Titans defeat Patriots 34-10. Titans with an impressive win, dominant on both sides of the ball, Mariota with his second strong game in a row, the Titans aren’t great at any position but they aren’t bad at any either, and they always play competitively and have beaten some good teams, they are in the playoff race, both in the AFC South and in the Wild Card. The Pats laid an egg, they didn’t show up at all and were off in every facet, not having Gronk hurts them but they just didn’t show up, I still think they are arguably the AFC’s best team but they need to show up each week.
Browns defeat Falcons 28-16. Browns with a great game, Mayfield was sharp, Chubb had an excellent game, and the defense did a good job of limiting the Falcons explosive offense, the Browns still can improve a lot but they are a much improved team and are in the best shape they’ve been in in years and things are looking up for them. The Falcons laid an egg, they cannot afford losses like this given the hole they are in and their upcoming schedule, with the outstanding offense they have they should be much better than 4-5, the boatload of injuries have hurt them, but they are still a playoff contender with their oustanding offense IMO, Ryan is playing at an MVP caliber level.
Saints defeat Bengals 51-14. The Saints are the NFL’s hottest team and their offense is spectacular, Brees is having another great season and toehold have a lot of weapons around him, and their defense is much improved since the start of the season and is doing a decent job, the Saints are a top tier team and a Super Bowl contender. The Bengals are struggling on defense badly right now and their offense is just slightly above average, so I don’t think they will make the playoffs but they are still in the race IMO.
Chiefs defeat Cardinals 26-14. Chiefs with another dominant win, Mahomes plays very well again, Chiefs have an elite offense, their defense is somewhat iffy IMO but overall they are an elite team and a Super Bowl contender IMO. The Cardinals are rebuilding, I think Rosen will be a solid franchise QB, but they need to add talent around him and strengthen their defense as well.
Bears defeat Lions 34-22. Bears with a big win, Trubisky is playing oustanding right now, and their defense is one of the NFL’s better D’s, they got a lot of pressure on Stafford and they are solid at each unit, the Bears are atop the NFC North and are definitely playoff contenders in the very deep NFC. The Lions have given up on the season IMO, their defense is below average, they traded away their best WR and they are fairly lifeless right now, their 2018 is done IMO.
Packers defeat Dolphins 31-12. Packers get a much needed win, they got a huge game from Aaron Jones on the ground to go along with Rodgers and the passing attack, the Packers are in the playoff race but the NFC is so deep and their schedule is difficult so they are on the outside looking in. The Fins are absolutely lifeless right now, unless Tannehill comes back very soon their season is over, they have some talent but Osweiler isn’t good enough to lead them to the playoffs.
Colts defeat Jaguars 29-26. The Colts get their 3rd straight win and are suddenly back in the playoff race, Luck is playing very well and their offense is good enough to allow them to compete for the playoffs, but their defense is one of the leagues weaker units and that will be a challenge for them. The Jags have been a massive disappointment, Bortles played better today and their offense has improved with Fournette back, but their defense has been massively overrated, they have no pass rush and their secondary has been scorched plenty of times, and their season is done IMO.
Redskins defeat Buccaneers 16-3. The wildly inconsistent Redskins show up and get the win over the Bucs, they are atop the NFC East and are playoff contenders as they have talent at every unit and are in good position but they need to be a lot more consistent. The Bucs offense was limited to only 3 points although Fitzpatrick threw for 406 yards, how the fuck does that happen, their offense has talent and they always put up big numbers in the passing attack but their defense is weak and they are not playoff contenders.
Bills defeat Jets 41-10. The Bills explode on offense with Barkley at QB, getting a QB other than the god awful Peterman makes a huge difference for the Bills, and while they are still one of the least talented teams in the NFL, they can still be competitive with a QB other than Peterman. The Jets were lifeless without Darnold, they still need a lot more talent before they can compete.
Chargers defeat Raiders 20-6. The Chargers are playing very well, they have a lot of talent on both sides of the ball and aren’t getting the attention they deserve IMO. The Raiders are one of the NFL’s worst teams all around, they may get the number 1 pick in the draft and they need to completely rebuild so they can start to be competitive when they move to Vegas.
Cowboys defeat Eagles 27-20. Big win for the Cowboys on the road against the defending Super Bowl champs, as they’ve struggled on the road this season, their offense played very well, Zeke had a great game which is a major key for the Cowboys, and Dak had one of his best games of the season, and the Cowboys defense did enough.
