Of the eight 2,000 yard rushers all time, there are three (O J Simpson, Barry Sanders and Adrian Peterson) who averaged more yards per carry than Saquon Barkley has this year.

Of the eight seasons, seven of them were over 16 games, and in all cases rushed for more than the 2,005 yards Saquon Barkley has achieved through 16 games this season. The only exception is O J Simpson, who rushed for 2,003 yards in 14 games.

It's been an exceptional year for Barkley, no doubt about that; however unless he has an utterly ridiculous last game in terms of yards per attempt, other previous rushing seasons will likely be regarded as superior.

Still, records are there to be broken. I wouldn't mind seeing him break Dickerson's record, especially after running backs were sort of "devalued" in recent years.
He's sitting.

Pro Bowl rosters announced.

  • Baltimore leads the league with 9 players (Lamar, Henry, Ricard, Flowers, Linderbaum, Madubuike, Roquon, Marlo, Hamilton)
  • No Mahomes cause Lamar/Allen/Burrow are better
  • Brock Bowers as a starter
  • Jayden Daniels also makes it as a rookie.

Also cool to see some of the alternates. Daniel Faalele alternate at RG despite starting the season with people wanting him benched.
Ronnie Stanley also an alternate so 3/5 of the Baltimore line either Pro Bowlers or alternates.

This just shows how shitty the Colts are run.

Just add them to the list of teams that are a net negative for players.

Indy
Cleveland
Jets
Panthers (motherfuckers had Darnold and Baker AT THE SAME TIME)
Falcons (Hi Pitts and Bijan)
Titans
Jacksonville
Chicago

I'm sure I'm missing some... but those are the first ones to my mind.

Yeah, the Chiefs haven't played like a 15-1 team. I have a $50 future bet on them to win the SB, so I am holding out hope that they're winning regardless of how ugly some of the wins have been. But I agree, the Ravens appear to be the team to beat in the AFC, and I think whoever wins the AFC wins the Super Bowl because the Lions have so many injuries and I don't think anyone else is good enough (including the Eagles).

Baltimore is favored by 20 points over Clevelend on Saturday.
LMAO

That is unheard of in the NFL.

If you had actually read the book like I did, you'd know there was a disclaimer at the end of The Art of War that clearly states "None of this applies to football. The Chiefs suck."

This is the most retarded coping mechanism I've ever seen.

There are ZERO teams in the NFL that would rather win in the last 2 minutes every week than being up 20 going into the 4th and be able to rest their stars.

Who is coping? KC has the most dominant team the league has ever seen. We do little but win every game. Well, we lost once in the last year, but that game meant nothing. Why do we have to cope? Coming up on three times in a row. Somebody here is ignorant, but it isn't the Chiefs fan. Who told you this was going to happen, btw. You have yet to acknowledge the ass whoopings you have taken. That's fine. We will whoop your ass again anyway. Again and again. Like no team has ever been reamed before. If that is what it takes, then so be it.

The Patriots would like a word.
