Post Week 13

I'm beginning to realize teams may not be static entities of competence that you can take to the bank.  They may be wildly inconsistent where a couple of injuries, or drop off of play at key positions and a team that was dominating suddenly can't get out of its own way.  

Like they say...you're never as good as you think are when your winning, or as bad as you think you are when your losing.  

So where we at today...

Seahawks (8-3-0) | Diff: 107 (11.8)
Alright Seattle it is.  If no one else wants to hold the top spot than give it to the one of the few that hasn't dropped a game in the least couple of weeks.  yes they lost to the Rams but they lost at LA by less than 3.  Some people who pay attention to spreads would say that that means on a neutral field that blah blah blah.  Here is means I can put them one slot above the Rams and that that doesn't by itself disqualify me as an evaluator teams.

Rams (9-2-0) | Diff: 127 (16.8)
They're still good but Losses to Panthers is the kind of thing that can damage your reputation.  Not if your like a tier two team, but if you were considered the top of the league then people will make notice of such embarrassing moments.

When you notch the 9th win in a row it makes it easy for me to look the other way about the fact it happened in OT to a team without their starting QB.

Eagles (8-3-0) | Diff: 30 (3.0)

I think what is happening to the Eagles may still prove to be a good thing.  That they perhaps were getting away with some false starts and not setting properly before the snap for awhile but now the league is cracking down.  This is happening while Lane Johnson is out and they don't have a functioning offensive coordinator from what I can tell.  Running backs are allowed to catch the ball out of the backfield and Barkley could/should be doing this on the regular.  Let AJ Brown be the coordinator and Barkley's agent as well and the offense will find the proper balance again.  

In the meantime the defense is still good enough to get the job done once the offense starts carrying its own weight.

Colts (8-3-0) | Diff: 112 (12.6)
I'm ready to buy low on these guys.  Yes they had a record that was inflated but I don't think it was all air.  There is a team of substance there.

Texans (6-5-0) | Diff: 61 (6.1)
Walt's been trying to tell us this team can do things and they've started doing them.  Back to back wins over the Bills and Colts may be the start of a run here.  They have a chance here to disinvite the Chiefs from the Post Season.

49ers (8-4-0) | Diff: 20 (0.8)
I believe walt mentioned SF had an easy schedule at least at the beginning of the season but TeamRankings now says they've had the 9th hardest schedule. At 9-4 they've done pretty for a team that has juggled his starting QB along with other injuries.

This may be the way it ends.  Just one day you wake up and your dynasty isn't notching wins at the rate it once was.  As a middle aged man I can empathize.  You don't always know when your last best days are happening.

Give me one more win Chicago and I'll make room in the top 10 for you.  Some may say that since in an Eagles fan I'm being biased against the Bears but I'll have you know that I'm a goofy ass fan who actually wants the teams that beat my team to prove to be better than people think.  Which is the more rational approach.  Why would I want a team that beat me to be proven to be frauds because that means my team lost to frauds?  When my team loses I want to know they got beat but a good team.  Except for the Cowboys.  I want them to lose always.
