Welcome back, true believers! I know the ol' Football Outsiders server had a rough week, but I have been a busy badger over at Sports on Earth. Once you get caught up on all the DVOA goodness, be sure to check out the Lowdown -- with no apocalypse jokes and minimal Jets nonsense, because you need the break -- then poke around my new digs to find a long article full of ... Jets nonsense.

Minor weaknesses dot these teams. Except for Arizona, which needs to bring in more help to really run Bruce Arians' offense.

Re: NFL Lowdown: Week 16
"Think of the Cardinals loss as the $50 cable bill the Dolphins never paid when they moved out of their first apartment. It is now red-flagging their mortgage."
That is fantastic.

For the Pats, too.
Re: NFL Lowdown: Week 16
You have the final score of the Packers-Titans as 27-13. Does this mean you actually expect Mason Crosby to make two field goals or is he going to start missing extra points now?

Deleted because of bad arithmetic.
Re: NFL Lowdown: Week 16
I'd just like to point out that Charlie Casserly is no longer on the Redskins' payroll and that everyone currently involved with the team seems to recognize that RG3's playing style will require them to have a backup actually capable of winning games--so, not Rex Grossman.
If there are any serious Kirk Cousins trade discussions after the season, expect widespread fan mutiny. But if there are, I will be very surprised.
Re: NFL Lowdown: Week 16
Are we even sure that Shanahan will not bench RG3 for Cousins given who the hot hand is?
Re: NFL Lowdown: Week 16
"If the Jets, Dolphins and an AFC North team all manage to go 8-8, the Jets leapfrog over the Dolphins by virtue of the three-way common opponent tiebreaker system."
The tie within the division is resolved first. The Jets may leapfrog the Dolphins there, but it's not a three-way tiebreaker.
