the NFL is one of the more balanced and fair leagues year to year despite everything with officiating. A team can legitimately just come from nowhere and catch fire and traditionally great teams can crash and burn. Parity is pretty real.
Agreed, which is why I really don’t understand the whole “Blow it up” thing. Stay average, hit it big with a draft, and/or free agent signing or two, and/or a godsend coaching hire, and suddenly you’ll find your team rolling and eventually in a close, barn-burner Divisional round game.
