The Jags defense has faltered, they don’t have much of a pass rush unlike last year, Fournette missed several games, and Bortles is playing very poorly, he’s never been great but he’s regressed from last season and is playing like garbage overall. The Jags are in complete free fall and I think they need to replace Bortles. Did they lose any pass rushers during the offseason? I think the Rams got one of their pass rushers.

Chargers are struggling against the Cardinals, down 10-7 in the 2nd Quarter, the Chargers have a lot of talent but they are completely unreliable, they frequently shit the bed in games they should win. The Chargers are another team that is a perennial disappointment. Lots of talent. Play like they don't take football seriously.

Here is my recap and analysis of Week 12’s Games
Vikings defeat Packers 24-17. Very big win for the Vikings with 2 very hard road games ahead, Cousins with a terrific performance and the Vikings have a very potent offense with one of the NFL’s best receiving units, and their defense was better, they were more aggressive and shut down the Packers in the second half, they are talented on defense and need to continue to play better down the stretch, but if Rhodes is out that will be a major loss. The Packers season is done IMO, it would pretty much take a miracle to get them to the playoffs, and they are playing sloppy and unmotivated IMO, they finally have some younger talent on defense and their offense is solid, but they need a new coach IMO and I think they are just waiting for next year, their 2018 is over.
Seahawks defeat Panthers 30-27. Huge win for the Seahawks on the road, very nice game from Wilson and their offense, they have a balanced offense with a potent rushing attack which has been the key to their success this season, their much improved O-Line and potent rushing attack has opened up a better passing attack for Wilson, and the Seahawks still have some talent on defense, they are definitely playoff contenders. Difficult loss for the Panthers as they blew many oppurtunities, they outplayed the Seahawks and their offense played great, but they didn’t turn good drives into points, they are definitely playoff contenders as well.
Broncos defeat Steelers 24-17. Back to back nice wins for the Broncos against good teams, the Broncos have talent on both sides of the ball, I’ve been very impressed by their RB Lindsay and their defense is decent, they just need to find a franchise QB, until then they will have a hard time competing for the playoffs. Bad loss for the Steelers as they fall behind in the playoff standings, they were red hot but have slipped the last 2 weeks, they need to play better going forward with some very tough games ahead.
Colts defeats Dolphins 27-24. The red hot Colts win their 5th in a row on a last second FG by Vinatieri, they are right in the AFC playoff race, Luck is having a great season and the Colts finally have a good coach and some good weapons around Luck, their rushing attack is better, their O-Line is drastically improved and their defense is better as well with some good young talent, I like what the Colts have. This loss hurt the Fins as they blew a 10 point lead, they still have a shot at the playoffs but they have to play better, getting Tannehill back is huge but they have a lot of injuries and their defense is very mediocre and they need more talent.
Chargers defeat Cardinals 45-10. Chargers with an offensive explosion, Rivers with a brilliant game, setting the NFL record for most consecutive completions to open a game with 25, the Chargers have a terrific offense with a lot of talent and their defense is strong as well, they are quietly having a very good season and they are a threat going forward IMO. The Cardinals are in complete rebuilding mode, they have their franchise QB in Rosen, they just need to get more talent on both sides of the ball now.
Eagles defeat Giants 25-22. A must win for the Eagles as they are looking to stay alive in the playoff race, they have the talent to compete and their offense is good but their defense is decimated and their secondary is a wreck, which will make things difficult for them going forward. The Giants are playing much better and Barkley is a fantastic player that will be great for them going forward, they will need to draft a replacement for Eli soon though and their defense needs a lot of improvement.
Browns defeat Bengals 35-20. Nice win for the Browns as they snap their long road losing streak, Mayfield with 4 TD passes, the Browns are remarkably improved and have a franchise QB and talent on both sides of the ball, they will be playoff contenders next year IMO. The Bengals remain a bizarre, unpredictable team and they are falling apart now, they just don’t have enough of either side of the ball to make the playoffs IMO and Dalton left the game with an injury, who knows how he’ll be going forward.
Patriots defeat Jets 27-13. Pats get a win and are having a strong year once again, Brady with a good game, Gronk is back and scored a TD and the Pats have a very good team and are Super Bowl contenders once again and are in good position for the playoffs and could get the number 1 seed in the AFC. The Jets were more competitive than expected without Darnold, they are an improved team but are still rebuilding.
Ravens defeat Raiders 34-17. Ravens are an interesting team, they are in the AFC playoff picture and they have a strong defense and Jackson is doing a decent job at QB in place of Flacco, they are a playoff contender in the AFC but their lack of a passing attack could come back to hurt them. The Raiders need to completely rebuild, they are awful, with the upcoming draft picks they have they could be competitive by the time they move to Vegas.
Bills defeat Jaguars 24-21. Bills get Allen back which makes them much more competitive, they just need to build an offense around him now. The Jags are in a free fall, they’ve lost 7 in a row, their defense has fallen and Bortles is playing horrible and needs to be benched IMO, it’s amazing how bad the Jags are after being so good last season.
Buccaneers defeat 49ers 27-9. The Bucs go with Winston at QB and he has a great game, it will be interesting to see how he does down the stretch as he tries to keep his position as the Bucs franchise QB. The Niners are just waiting for next season when they get Garappolo back.

Pats get a win and are having a strong year once again, Brady with a good game, Gronk is back and scored a TD and the Pats have a very good team and are Super Bowl contenders once again and are in good position for the playoffs and could get the number 1 seed in the AFC. The Jets were more competitive than expected without Darnold, they are an improved team but are still rebuilding. I don't mean to be a jerk, but again I have to ask if you watched the game or just looked at the box score. They won, but not very convincingly on the field. Yes it was a two score game at the end, but it took a long time to get there, against a 3-7 team without its starting QB. Honestly, Brady looked lousy. Every time he throws to the left on a sideline route it's in the dirt or 10 yards out of bounds. The TD toss to Gronk wasn't even that accurate, and he would've thrown a pick in the end zone earlier in the game if Gronk didn't switch to DB and knock the ball away at the last second. Brady was bailed out on some poor throws by fantastic catches from Gordon and Edelman down the stretch. Overall the play wasn't impressive in any facet of the game, against a truly dismal team. The Pats have to win out and hope the Chiefs lose at least once more to get home field advantage in the playoffs, with tough games ahead against the Vikes and Steelers (not to mention their lousy division who always plays them tough despite their records). I'm not writing the Pats off by any means, but I don't consider them strong Super Bowl contenders as of right now; not the way they've been playing.

I did watch some of the Pats game, and yeah they could’ve played better, but in the end they got a 2 TD win and I think they are definitely Super Bowl contenders, they are having a strong year once again and they’ve already beaten the top team in the AFC the Chiefs, and they have the most complete team in the AFC IMO.

The Chiefs have a much better team on paper. The Pats barely won a shootout at home against them, I'd hate to have to go to KC in the playoffs.
