Since we generally agree that we are nowhere near the final four and there is a thread about what the top teams' QBs have in common, how bout the teams in general? What do these four teams have in common?
 
It starts with the quarterbacks, honestly. They're incredibly talented and durable (as far as we can tell with Daniels). The teams have more depth and, generally speaking, better offensive line play (with the Chiefs being the possible exception), and they don't have to resort to gimmicks to get their points. They also have defenses that are either consistently good or are of the bend, don't break, variety.
 
I didn't see that many run plays that start 5 yards behind the los!

These teams look like they are playing a different sport
 
Good rbs and a good offensive line is what they all have in common
 
They have at least one more week before vacation.

Well Bills won last night with there qb throwing zero td. There leading rusher had under 68yds rushing. There qb threw for under 128 passing yds. Great coaching and bully football wins in playoffs.
In all the div rd there was only one team that had great qb play. All the other teams won with average qb play. It takes a team. People need to stop being so obsessed with qb. Need to fucus more on building complete team.
Fins can only win if Tua plays really well. Will never win anything till team can win while qb has a so so game. Look at Eagles!!!!!

Correct. Tua needs to play a perfect game, and even still might not win. If the Dolphins don't score on every drive they're not winning. These other guys can look like absolute crap, make one or two big plays and win the game easily.

KC, Buffalo and the Eagles all have good to great offensive lines and good to great defensive lines.

Washington is an odd one as they played the weakest team in the playoffs imho and then got to play the Lions backup defense. Just how many starters did the Lions have missing? Nearly all of them?

2 of them have the best 2 QB's in the league, 1 has a young and very, very promising QB and one is winning while their QB doesn't do a whole lot.

So I'm not sure what all 4 have in common unless you mean all of their QB's are mobile? I'm not sure that's the reason why they are all were they are today though.

Yes, but I thought it would be good to "put it on paper" so to speak.

It was. I think OLine is the common thread. If Grier could get that concept down: "It all starts with OLine" then we would be on the way to fielding a competitive team. You get the skill players later. A good OLine can make average RB's look good along with pedestrian QB's. Hell, the Ravens won a SuperBowl with an average QB (Trent Dilfer).

Even if Grier suddenly decided to "fix" the o-line, I don't think that would help. He'd just waste more money and draft picks by signing more injury-prone FAs and trading up for more Eichenbergs. Miami is going nowhere with Grier, McDaniel, and Tua.
