The Washington Post posted a half hour ago that the DEA thinks that NFL teams are illegally dispensing prescription drugs to the players, and raids were conducted today.

Right now it's nearly impossible to know who is what, no matter the conference. It has been a very bizarre season so far.

There are no "complete" teams this year. Each and every one has flaws out the ass.

But, if I had to pick at this point, I'd say Green Bay and New England are the class of their respective conferences.

Two weeks from now there could be a completely different answer.

Remember how not so long ago Denver was being touted as the best offense in NFL history? Or how the Bengals looked like the dominant AFC team? Or how bad Arizona's defense was going to be with all the losses they suffered? Or how Matt Ryan was tearing things up? Or how the Packers looked like they were going to tank? Relax, sayeth Aaron.

Teams like Arizona, Kansas City, and Dallas weren't supposed to win more than five or six games each.

Atlanta, New Orleans, and Chicago were supposed to be playoff bound...

Incredibly bizarre season so far...

Sit RGIII. Starting next week. This team played hard today, but the QB just can't get it figured out. Get someone to show him how to play. Put Colt up there, so your players have a chance to win a game.

I'm fairly convinced what you see is RGIII's ceiling. With the book on him now written, and his new found lack of mobility thanks to a fireable offense by Shanahan a couple of years ago, this is likely all he's ever going to be. A running QB that can't run, and has almost no pocket passing skills to speak of. Not to mention a diva who hasn't earned the status yet.

I seriously doubt he's in D.C. next season.

He'll be here next year, but as a back up. They won't exercise the 5th year option. They can't trade him, and straight up cutting him would be conceding that they made the worst trade in the history of the NFL. Which, unfortunately, they probably did. As for diva status, it seems it was enabled by the owner. Certain benefits that he had were just recently revoked. This team has to invest in OL players. Dallas did and now they are reaping the rewards. Otherwise no quarterback will succeed.

Right. For some reason I was thinking this was the last year of his contract. One can only hope that even as removed from reality as Snyder is that he at least sees the light when it comes to his golden child.

And you're absolutely spot on about the OL. Last year it seemed as though the four worst were all in the same division. And as you said, Dallas was really the only team in the division to address the problem. And they're now making DeMarco Murray look like LeSean McCoy, while McCoy himself looks like a back for the Raiders...

Well, Gruden did the right thing and benched him. Let's see how they can do with Colt in there. At least, they can evaluate players for next year....

He's regressed. Not making proper reads. The film breakdowns from the last two games are very revealing. There was a play last week where all five receivers were open -- he could have picked one of two running downfield for a touchdown, the defense was so beat, but he didn't pull the trigger. He is clearly at a point where putting him on the field is detrimental to the team, just like Cousins. I don't know what is going on with both of them.
