Seems weird to declare the Rams the best team in the conference when they just lost by 10 to the supposed second beat team.

I mean one head to head game is kind of meaningless overall.

I think it’s pretty meaningful when both teams have one loss and one team just beat the other by two scores.

Who knows where things will stand at the end of the year, but the Saints are on a 7 game win streak, have won 4 of their last 5 by double digits, and just beat the supposed best team in the conference by 10.

They’ve got a pretty good argument.

Eh I don’t see how, I mean are the lions better than the Pats? If your argument is that similar records makes the difference well I find that very unconvincing.

If the Lions were also 6-2 and had just beaten the Pats to send them to 6-2 then yea, I’d say there were better. What a weird question.

Like, how the hell do you even determine who’s better if you ignore record and also head to head?

Stats probably, records and head to head seem like the least important thing

Good to know the Saints were actually the best team in the league last year. When can we expect our DVOA champs trophy?

I assume the same time you get your NFL champs of week 9 trophy.

I know being super dumb is your gimmick, but still, you’re super dumb.

How? I mean your kind of retreating from your own argument. You never even explained why I’m wrong you just said well the best team doesn’t win the super bowl. Which yeah that’s true? Super bowl do to it’s rather short playoffs by design is not set up for the best team to win.

Like I can’t tell you whether the Saints are the best or not but head to head is meaningless do to sample size.

I’m not sure it’s not Carolina, actually. I just think declaring that the Rams are actually the indisputably best team in the NFC is stupid given how close they’ve been playing teams recently and their loss today.

To be fair I’m not doing this. I think their are better metrics to determine it, if that is what you want to do.
