Are we a top 10 team?

That said, I still agree we're top 10. I got:

1) Seattle
2) New England
3) Dallas
4) Denver
5) Oakland
6) KC
7) Redskins
8) Steelers
9) Lions
10) Falcons
11) Giants
12) Cardinals
13) Eagles

My reaction is -- who cares about rankings? Just win. Beat the Packers. Focus on nothing else. Beat a team that seems on the ropes at home like you can and should. Take care of business immediately in front of you. Repeat through early February.

I agree with this. Save the rankings and stats adulation for after the season. Right now let's worry about winning and staying in the playoff hunt.

[whispers] psst, Matty, 12 teams make the playoffs, not 10.



Yeah I know, I still can't list 10 teams that are better right now.

If the season ended today we would be a wild card, so yes we are absolutely top 10 right now, it's not even debatable really when you look at it from that view.

For anyone who disagrees please list at least ten teams that are better.

I think we are between 8 and 12. These positions are really interchangeable from week to week.

How much did the Keyson Jerrett injury hurt the team? The first two weeks our defense was histrionically bad. If he wasn't hurt, would we have drafted a CB in the 3rd round? Would he have moved back to safety when we drafted Fueller?

Truth. I think we're 7th. Truly.

Yes 12 teams make it, but this is my point. List ten teams better than us if you disagree. Like i said i bet we beat one of them. Only Houston and Detroit are in the conversation as far as teams that even qualify for the conversation that we did not beat.

Another rant, I've kinda had it with the Cousins/INT thing. In his last 19 games he's thrown 33 TDs and 10 INTs. He's got 7 this year, well less than 1 per game. Can we please drop this already?

I don't think we are a top ten team. I think our red zone offense, as bad as it has been is why we cannot be top ten. If we could fix the problems in the red zone, i think we crack the top ten.

But the defense has stepped up and it seems like now we have a fair running game with Robert Kelly. Cousins seems to have the INT's under control if not at least manageable, so i think the next few games are winnable. Winning 4 out of 7 will be a fair challenge, but we might get hot at the right time and the other teams might slump. We could get surprised and find out that 8-7-1 gets us the wildcard spot...

I agree our red zone play is a problem that needs to be fixed, but even with those issues we're still 12th in points per drive. If we can figure out the red zone, at the rate we move the ball that far (4th most trips in the league) this would go from a good offense to an elite one. Keeping in mind how good we were in the red zone last year I expect us to improve quite a bit

Also some other stats I came across: this offense is 5th in the league in time of possession per drive, 5th in plays per drive, and 2nd in yards per drive. I feel like Jay and Sean do not get enough credit for what they've done here the last two years. Kirk too for that matter

Yes

So what ten teams are better than us? Just curious.
