NFL biggest takeaways so far

I’ll jump right into this and start off with the glaring obvious, TB in TB. Although as far as it goes for Tom Brady, his season isn’t one to frown upon at the moment, he is 6th in passing yards and 3rd in passing Touchdowns. It seemed like they were improving as a team every week, until week 8, the Bucs eked out a close one against the Giants, and as we all know every team has an off week, but then he threw 3 pics against the Saints and NFL fans almost witnessed the 8th shutout of 2020. I think the Bucs are an average team with talent, and if this becomes a trend we could see a similar Cowboys situation. I don’t think it will come to that though under Bruce Arians.

Another pleasant surprise to Bills fans, they beat the Seahawks, and the score made it look closer than it was to be honest. The Bills got off to a hot start, they have not preformed well in the 3rd quarter all season (they have been outscored 52–35 in the 3rd Q). But as we all know, Russell Wilson can always get hot, so the best offense in the NFL hits their average points mark for the game, but not without two pics, a strip sack and a fumble recovery. The Bills were three point underdogs and they won, not a huge blowout by any means, both good teams, Buffalo just had the better day.

Lastly, sad news for Panthers fans, they get back CMC and almost beat the arguably the best team in the NFL, and in the end he gets injured, too bad for fantasy and too bad for Panthers fans, this is an average team with a smart QB and young talent, but as of now, the face of the average teams. The second upset too fall short would have been huge, the Cowboys playing how they should with their roster, and the Steelers showing vulnerability. Without the final push of the refs, it seems like the Cowboys could have bagged this one. But the season goes on and Pittsburgh remains the only undefeated team as we go into week 10.

Using a hobby of mine so NFL fans have something more too read and maybe develop different ways of looking at teams.
