We are better than Oakland, Detroit, (hopefully) Green Bay and Tennesee. Of the 1-5 teams id say we have the most talent, but talent doesnt mean much if you cant do anything with it

Ahead of the Browns, Texans and Cardinals. Mad world.
Have to disagree with a lot of this, sorry. You've got to understand we've had one of the easiest schedules in the league. According to USA Today,
there's only been 3 teams with easier schedules than us (St Louis, San Francisco, and San Diego.)

We played two of the weakest teams in the NFL in Houston and Tennessee. Buffalo's no powerhouse. Pittsburgh hasn't been all that good this year. The Jets are just alright. The only tougher team we played is New England.
On the other hand,
Green Bay has had the 3rd toughest schedule in the league: they had to play Chicago, Philly, New Orleans, and St Louis. These are all teams with two or less losses. Green Bay has an excuse for only having one win, we don't. And when the only easy team on their schedule came up (Detroit), they beat them.
Detroit has had the 5th toughest schedule in the league. They played Chicago, Seattle, Minnesota, and St Louis: all teams with two or less losses. When Buffalo came up on their schedule they beat Buffalo when we couldn't.
Cleveland has had the sixth toughest schedule in the league (Carolina, Cincinatti, New Orleans, Baltimore). They only beat Oakland though so it's hard to get a good gauge on how good they are.
Giants have had the toughest schedule in the league, Tampa the 2nd toughest, Seattle the 4th toughest, Carolina the 7th toughest, the Bills 8th toughest, and Arizona 9th toughest. Our schedule has been the 29th toughest and we only came away with one freaking win! You can't sugarcoat that much.
