There have always been bad teams in the NFL. But I am not sure there has been a time when the dregs of the league have been this far gone.We aren't even at the midpoint of the 2021 season the first of the expanded 17 game schedule and there appears to be no end of high-school style beatdowns that are over in many cases before halftime. Heck, it's not even exclusive to bad teams; the destroyed the in Week 7 with a 27-0 scoreline at the half. And the gutted the , 41-17 and the week before that the Ravens blasted the , 34-6, while the plowed over the , 38-11, in prime time.It feels like there is a blowout problem arising. Sometimes when it's quite predictable, and occasionally when it's not (like some of the results above). But, most often, it is one of the usual suspects involved, and Vegas is going to have to continue pushing the point spread to new highs in many cases to account for the trend.Consider the , for starters, who are embodying some of the most disturbing characteristics of this. Two weeks ago they lost, 31-3. Last week they had a quick Cal Ripken Jersey start at Arizona then went on to lose, 31-5. On Sunday, the Rams were up 38-0 at one point before the Texans added garbage time bows and whistles in the final 10 minutes. For much of the season the Texans would at least start fairly strong, as they brought only a minus-10 first-half scoring differential into this game; of course they also had a staggering -96 second-half differential coming into this week, nearly twice as bad as anyone else (Atlanta was at -49 entering play Sunday). But they aren't alone.The went to 0-8 with an exclamation point, managing to lose, 44-6, to the previously spiraling . Yeah, this was 41-0 in the fourth quarter. But it doesn't feel like such an anomaly anymore. Last week, the destroyed the Jets, 54-13. The Bucs were up 35-3 on the at the half and won, 38-3.We'll see if this ends up being a blip. Or if these egregiously lopsided kind of affairs are something we can come to expect a few times in each expanded window. But the degree to which some of these teams are unable to put forth a Trey Mancini Jersey fight for even a half feels a little bit like what MLB is going through. is going to be out a few more weeks, no matter what. is going to get more time leading the Jets. And if he keeps this up, well, rookie head coach Robert Saleh will have some interesting decisions to make. I like what I saw of White under extreme dure s when he was thrust into that aforementioned 54-13 lo s to New England a week ago. He played better than the second-overall pick, looked okay despite all going on around him, and he played absolutely out of his mind in New York' Tim Beckham Jersey s shocking upset of the Bengals on Sunday. Yeah, maybe the Bengals fell into a trap game, and were looking ahead and feeling themselves after running over the Ravens in Baltimore last week.But none of that should obscure White's performance shredding a defense that guys like and could do very little against earlier this season. The Jets offense looked far more robust and dynamic and energetic and cohesive than it has under Wilson; the raw first-round pick has been a steady slide since an impre sive Week 1 debut against Carolina, he never looked nearly as dangerous as White did for the duration of Sunday afternoon.White took some huge hits including a blindside shot in the second half that looked late to me and bent his head back awkwardly and overcame some brutal breaks (two early picks that were both tipped and gave the Bengals an early lead despite being thoroughly outplayed). He faced a Cincy defense that was suffocating opposing quarterbacks and showing few weakne ses at any level of play, but they had no answers for White and a group of skill guys who have done next to nothing all season. He threaded pa ses in the red zone to tight windows and caught a pa s for a critical two-point conversion. White was 23-for-29 for 217 yards and a touchdown in the first half (along with the two unfortunate picks), and still managed to get better from there.He finished the game 37-for-45 for 405 yards and three TDs and a QB rating of 107.9. He completed pa ses to a staggering 10 different Jets teammates. Four Jets had at least five catches. It didn't look particularly fluky to me. And while expecting him to keep Zach Britton Jersey this up would be silly, seeing more of what White's got if he comes close to looking remotely like this the next two weeks might be in the Jets best interests.I gue s was due for a stinker, but man, what a time for it to come. He has struggled with his goal-line decision making this season around his own end zone as well as the opposing one with some crazy shovel pa ses and weird deliveries getting picked. The pick six from his own end zone Sunday was the worst yet, and he had no chance for succe s on the overtime interception as well. He continually underthrows deep balls. He gets bailed out with pa s interference calls a fair amount, but it's a dangerous way to live The Titans are the AFC's top seed by pure merit. They've just run a gauntlet of the , Chiefs and , and they put up at least 27 points in all three wins. They have scored 132 points in their past four games, and they have a stranglehold on the AFC South For what it's worth, the Chiefs first-half scoring margin is -52, third-worst in football, and that offensive attack is no long otherworldy enough to overcome something like that The offense showed signs of life for the third straight game and they have clearly figured some things out in the run game. To Eddie Murray Jersey do what they did on the road at Cleveland without the services of a kicker for much of the game is definitely something they can build on A lot of people will kill the Bengals for losing that game. But that is a very young team on a steady climb out of the aby s. Even the best teams blow games they should easily win; hence "any given Sunday." They'll learn from this letdown, and will remain a factor in the AFC North. Click here Click here Click here |
