Week 8 

Byes:

Packers, Titans, Rams, Giants, Cardinals, Jaguars

Losers:

Dolphins - 40-0, OMG! They were up and down, after achieving four wins I moved them to More Evidence is Needed. There we go, the 40-0 provided the evidence necessary to move them back to the Losers list.

Ravens - They beat the hapless Dolphin but lost their QB to the concussion protocol in the meantime; it doesn't bode well for them; this comes after two loses in weeks 6 and 7, so, even with this week 8 win they remain for now as losers.

Browns - Since they played a bit better in London, can we just leave them there and never bring them back to the US? They are such an embarrassment! At 0-8, they are the biggest losers.

Raiders - They have squandered the initial good impression and now at 3-5 they are solidifying their position as losers.

Colts - They managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, and that, playing against another rather bad team. Such losers, the Colts!

Bengals - Had trouble beating the Colts, and remain unconvincing and going nowhere.

Chargers - After a 3-game winning streak, they lose again and slide back into the losers list due to a 3-5 record.

Bears - Another team that loses a lot but sometimes looks good. Just looking good without the Ws won't cut it, though. 

Jets - They had some notable games and seem to always be there, competitive until the end. But then, they still lose. At 3-5 they are back to the losers list, after a brief period when they were given the benefit of the doubt.

Bucs - Their ship is sinking lower and lower.

Niners - Involved in a wicked contest with the Browns for the first draft pick. 0-8, enough said. LOL, DC_Fan was saying that they could beat the Eagles... 

Broncos - I placed the Broncos last week as losers on a gut feeling in spite of their, then, 3-3 record, and oh boy, was I right! They lost again, and looked horrible and discombobulated. This QB, tsk, tsk. 5 interceptions, and not only that, but they were horrible throws. Yep, losers, now at 3-4 and sliding down fast.

Winners:

Vikings - Remain in control of their division although they had some trouble with the very lowly Browns, trailing into the 3rd quarter. 6-2, definitely winners.

Bills - At 5-2 they are again impressive. Good start, then some doubts, but now back to being solid members of the Winners list.

Patriots - Even in victory they managed to remain unconvincing and vulnerable but after beating a resurgent Chargers team, but now at 6-2, they continue to march steadily towards the playoffs.

Saints - Continue to lead the NFC South and they've won 5 in a row. Definitely looking like winners and the most likely division champs, with Atlanta and Carolina looking a lot more vulnerable.

Eagles - Impressive team, making amazing plays, a pleasure to watch, the best team in the league so far, at 7-1.

Seahawks - They will either win the division, or be very strong contenders for the wild card, so at 5-2 they are solidly winners now.

Steelers - At 6-2 they are running away with a division that has two teams with 4 losses and one with 8 losses. It's an easy path for the Steelers.

Chiefs - After a 2-game they are back, and won convincingly on Monday night. They lost to the Eagles the position of best team in the league but they are contenders.

More evidence needed:

Panthers - hard to have an opinion of their week 8 game since NFL Red Zone almost didn't show their game at all - must have been boring. They beat the weakest team in their division. I don't think they will win it (the Saints will) but the Panthers remain in the mix for the wild card so more evidence is needed.

Cowboys - At 4-3 and with Dak and Zeke playing great again, we could place them as winners, but with the Zeke suspension looming and many other teams with similar records in the conference, it's hard to know if they'll get at least the wild card, so more evidence is needed.

Falcons - another irregular team, looking shaken even in victory, and fighting with the Panthers and others in the conference for a wild card spot.

Redskins - Not looking so good but still not as bad as being plain losers; if they react they might still contend for a wild card although it's becoming less likely. Could switch to losers by a hair but for now I need more evidence to place them.

Lions - Exactly same case as the Redskins. I'm still giving them the benefit of the doubt although they are starting to look like losers. 

Texans - They have a losing record by their division is not out of reach, being that they are only 1 game behind two equally unstable teams, so more evidence is needed.
