Idiots Look At The NFL: Week 5

[u/ToDre420]

New NFL enjoyer attempts to rank football teams.

Notes: I'm very unsure about some of the placements, but fuck it we ball.

[u/LastEsotericist]

Feel like Vikings are too high but as they're undefeated I can't really argue with the placement. Would be appropriate to have an "undefeated but not the 9ers" tier with the Chiefs, but I understand the tiers are partially for the memes.

[u/ToDre420 → u/LastEsotericist]

I wanna slander them so bad, but can't cuz they keep winning 😭

[u/Chopper_Fortnite → u/LastEsotericist]

Best defence in the league and an offence that is improving and could very much be a borderline top 10 offence. Not to mention maybe the best special teams in the league. Vikings should be a top 10 team at minimum

[u/ToDre420 → u/Chopper_Fortnite]

TOP 10! Y'all are min top 3 in my eyes rn, and I hate it as a lions fan

[u/Bjorxt]

Ravens should be with the Pat's.

[u/froggothegod]

That is normal cowboys football.

[u/ToDre420 → u/froggothegod]

Yeah lmao, but the rest of NFCE is going down to their level for some reason

[u/Mysterious_Help_9577]

Steelers might be good. Rodgers is slinging it

[u/ToDre420 → u/Mysterious_Help_9577]

They flip flop between being good and bad every week. I wanna see them be a bit more consistent

[u/_Goose_]

This list makes me erect

[u/Primary-Key-774]

Idiot confirmed

[u/OkNefariousness284]

I feel personally the chiefs being undefeated personally warrants a tier above the other three, good list though

[u/ToDre420 → u/OkNefariousness284]

Yeah, but they were on a bye, and I wanted to give the Vikings defense some props

[u/BarryLicious2588]

The disdain for NFC East is peak

[u/ToDre420 → u/BarryLicious2588]

That whole division was painful to watch this week

[u/kp22cfc]

As 49ers fan can't wait to play the bills D

[u/AcrobaticAction2328 → u/kp22cfc]

The only way it'll happen is in the superbowl since we dont play you in the regular season

[u/kp22cfc → u/AcrobaticAction2328]

Anyone but chiefs

[u/Yah_Mule]

Imperfect but enjoyable summary.

[u/TrueRedditMartyr]

Cardinals won a game, so they're out of contention with how absolutely dog ass the other 3 teams are

[u/Chopper_Fortnite]

For the rams we still have not seen them play in America with the best player in the league on their roster. They are probably 4-1 if Myles Garrett plays

[u/Beautiful-Traffic157]

Falcons setting up to be the scariest wildcard team

[u/EpicalBeb]

Agreed.

[u/bandagio]

Incorrect. “Unfortunately special teams is part of football”

[u/AcrobaticAction2328]

Browns, jets, and raiders just being mid is a welcome change of pace for them

[u/bughunter_ → u/AcrobaticAction2328]

Right? After last season, I'll take Mid.

And keep Huffing the Hopium.

Remove the Seahawks from contenders. 

Contenders don’t spot opposing teams 21 points. If they fix that? Sure. Right now I have little confidence. 

Going to be a repeat of 2025 Eagles. 

[u/ToDre420 → u/veggiedish]

I would agree, but they gave the niners a VERY good fight, so I think they can still be top contenders.

[u/veggiedish → u/ToDre420]

I guess. I think the defense is excellent but this offense is genuinely painful to watch. Like actively losing games bad. :(

[u/Muppet_Man3 → u/veggiedish]

This team has been substantially better in the second half of the year both seasons under MacDonald, theyve shown they can clean up mistakes and hold accountability throughout the year, unless you don't trust the coach, no reason to think they won't likely overcome the issues and be contenders. Also Darnold led the league in turnovers last year and still won the super bowl. Also also this team started last season 3-2 and still won the super bowl.

[u/veggiedish → u/Muppet_Man3]

This year’s 3-2 is not equal to last year’s 3-2. All I’ll say to that. 

Thursday is a must-win. I think if they win that game they can right the ship. 3-3 with the schedule they have is frightening.

[u/Muppet_Man3 → u/veggiedish]

A tough close loss to a less injurred early season hot 49ers team, and a high scoring close loss to a mid NFC team that they shouldn't have lost, but without some secondary injuries probably would've won, yeah this a lot like last year's 3-2

Edit: also last year costly turnovers were major difference makers in both those first two losses as well, it really is very comparable, both times adjusting to a new offensive coordinator early in the year too

[u/veggiedish → u/Muppet_Man3]

Those costly turnovers came at the end of the game. The offense was dreadful throughout that entire game before a great sideline throw to Jax. Bosa made a tremendous play to shove Lucas into Darnold.

As for the Tampa game, Darnold was dealing. It was an unlucky interception off a helmet. The closest I’ve seen to that Darnold was against Washington when he was slinging it. 

[u/caterham09 → u/veggiedish]

You are a whiny baby. They spotted the 49ers (who are currently the best team in the league) 21 points and still only lost by 3

[u/veggiedish → u/caterham09]

There are no moral victories in the NFL. Offense was dominated without Bosa and Greenlaw for 60% of the game.

This offense has regressed and it’s not all on Fleury. Sam isn’t seeing the field well. 

[u/TK-42juan]

Jags are one tier down

[u/Electrical_Season_81]

vikings should be down with patriots

[u/SlapHappyDude → u/Electrical_Season_81]

Bold talk from a team that hasn't even bothered to win 5 games yet. Slackers.

[u/Jumpy_Stand_8157]

chiefs better than 49ers
