NFL Week 7: What have we learned
- Thread starter WesCrook
- Start date
The “Lions are the best team in the NFC” narrative didn’t even last a week
They’re a good team but they’re not on the Eagles/49ers level yet
Yeah, I won't be considering the idea of that, let alone the NFL, for a minute. I'll own that L take
That said, I don't think they are that far away. They had their worst game against a team at home whose passing offense finally looked the way it was supposed to look following early-season hiccups. Detroit's still a strong team in the NFC and I expect them to advance past the Wild Card round but no further.
As for what I've learned:
Good QB play is a real premium now. There's only a couple of cats who are really out here playing the position well. Everybody else is eh or underachieving when you take their supporting cast into account.
While I understand why Richardson played, I wonder where the Colts would be if Minshew was the day 1 starter meant to hold it down for the duration of Richardson's rookie year. I liked what I saw from them against Cleveland.
49ers still legit, but maybe people will pump the brakes on Purdy being him commentary. He needs the full cupboard just like most every other QB in the league.
For the Lions, getting to the playoffs would be considered a success/exceeding of gen pop's expectations.
The Packers were expected to get further than they usually did because of who their QB was.
They can't be the new Packers until people outside of the Lions' locker room actually put expectations on them.
Two Purdy INTs were horrible.

Hot takes like these are outrageousDon't know what to make of Mahomes this year. He hasn't looked that great at times. Kelce just keeps on getting open...
Not impressed
Mahomes was better last year imo
You’re not impressed with a guy who’s top 3 in seemingly every qb catagory despite having basically the worst receiving core in the league other than his tight end???
Comon folks this is getting absurd
Over the past 2 weeks I've heard:Hot takes like these are outrageous

Comon folks this is getting absurd
Mahomes is overrated
Burrow is overrated
Hurts is overrated
Herbert is overrated
These nikkas would find fault with Jesus Christ if he came back and played QB
The first one was really egregious. I get that he was throwing to a spot but good lord that was a noodle armed throw
One of those names don't belong with the others
Herbert is a top 10 QB in the NFL and to argue otherwise is ridiculous
The 49ers secondary has always failed them in big spots during the course of this Shanahan run. I never really trusted any of those players as straight cover guys
Top 10 is cool as long as he ain't top 5

VOTE!!!
Niners needed this. There's holes that nobody was talking about they need to address. Now everyone can forget about them for a while and bury them.
