People don't understand how much the offense and defensive lines affect the game. Dallas has by far the best offensive line in the game, which is making it a heck of alot easier for Dak and Elliot. I would like to see Prescott behind an offensive line like Indianapolis or something. Just imagine if Andrew Luck had Dallas' offensive line too.

^ Good point, and is always true for any time.

I had been thinking more about Dallas's defense, Which I had considered to be pretty mediocre, but that unit is playing way above their heads.

Whole team seems to have strong esprit de corps going. So what has changed since last year? Maybe it is Prescott and his leadership? Who knows. It seems like their culture has changed to me

Pats trade jamie Collins to the browns. Surprising.

I could only imagine the ire TT would get for doing what the pats just did. There would be mass "wasting prime" articles written.

Weird trade since the Patriots only got a 3rd round comp in in return and they would have a gotten a similar comp pick in return had they kept him the rest of the season, only getting the pick a year later.

Weird trade for the Browns, too, as they're 0-8 and Collins is a pending FA.

Collins is a big time talent and young. I totally get why they made this move.

They'll have tons of cap room to sign him long term or worst case use the franchise tag.

Seems par for the Browns.

Still think the Bears will manage to lose this one, but I hope everyone is done sucking the Vikings' dicks for now. Their best win is still us.

So are we now considered the weakest division in the NFL?

It has to be between us and the AFC South. Also, the Browns front office should automatically be fired for that trade. HOW the FU*# do you trade a 3rd round pick for an just above mediocre linebacker who is going to be a free agent when you are already 0-8? They should be selling players for 2nd and 3rd round picks.

You don't get that bad by making good decisions. You have to at least call those idiots and see what they would want for Hayden, right?

So I guess we are in the thick of both the divisional race and the wildcard race.

From the Wildcard side of things everyone is 4-3 or 4-4 or 3-4.

Only 2 teams are probably out: 1-6 SFO, and 2-6 bears.

I haven't watched the Panthers, are they out at 2-5 or could they go 7-2 and sneak in at 9-7? I dunno.

It's starting to look more and more like the NFCCG will be whoever gets healthy/hot going into the playoffs vs. DAL.

Huh? How on earth are we even in the bottom 3? We have 3 teams at or above .500 and the cakewalk that is the AFC East for the Patriots continues to be the easiest route to a division title like it has been for the past decade.

Because it's the internet and people don't like to think things through.

3 teams at or above .500? Hogwash. Our divisions trash. We're not 6-1 so at best we'll be one n done

Look at the Patriots. I mean they're always competing for HFA but it's not like the dumpster fire that has been the AFC East for a decade has anything to do with it. That'd be blasphemy. It's the Patriots.

(That's NOT me saying I don't think the Pats are great. Just pointing out discrepancies)

AFC South is by far the worst division. NFC South is pretty bad. Even the NFC West isn't very good with the only good team looking like Seattle. And of course the AFC East cakewalk for the Patriots.
