2021 NFL Week 16 Political Rankings, as if it matters...

Why do I say this?

Tom Pelissero reports ANOTHER ONE HUNDRED AND SIX went on the NFL COVID list Monday.

That's two full NFL rosters who just went on the COVID list yesterday and EVERY ONE OF THEM WAS A POSITIVE COVID CASE.

And we haven't even hit the Christmas shit yet.

sigh

Really.

Well, I guess the caveat that we actually hold Super Bowl LVI at some point and juncture applies even more THIS WEEK...

AFC:

1) Kansas City, I guess...

I'm not nearly 100% believing KC is going to make it, largely on the Britt Reid trial coming up next March or April.  But it's undeniable that, with New England losing rather badly last week and Tampa rolling Carolina into elimination, Kansas City gets the Political #1 because there really aren't that many options...

2) You know what, just because:  MIAMI

There are two winning streaks in the NFL more than four games right now.  KC's is at 8, Miami's at 7.  And I definitely think the NFL would take Miami over Buffalo.  Now, would they take them over Brady vs. Belichick, for whatever reason??

3) New England

Brady vs. Belichick, nothing more.

4) Indianapolis

AFC DUD OF THE WEEK:

NOMINEES:

BALTIMORE RAVENS:  Same song and dance every week.  This is a one-man franchise at this point -- and if people don't like it, they better get some names there this offseason.

CAPTAIN FATFUCK AND THE MEN HE LEADS:  I'm hearing the "Days of Our Lives" theme again.  Dunno why...

WINNER:

THE LOS ANGELES CHARGERS:  You not only lose to Houston in your position, but you give up FORTY-ONE POINTS in doing so????  Fuck you, Spanos!!!

NFC:

1) Tampa Bay

Though, because of the other half of the Brady vs. Belichick, I think the #2 is closer this week.

2) Dallas

All they need is Green Bay to lose to either Minnesota or Detroit.  (I'd "insert punch line here", but Minnesota did beat Green Bay in the first meeting...)

3) Green Bay

That level of Refball cannot be ignored.  It just.  simply.  CAN'T.

4) LA Rams

As much as "Shut The Fuck Up, E. Stan Kroenke" still applies, at least the NFL appears to be moving the Cardinals out of contention.

NFC DUD OF THE WEEK:

ARIZONA CARDINALS:  For being shown NFL reality.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS:  For, once again, showing that the NFL is purporting itself to be a one-position game.

NEW YORK GIANTS AND CAROLINA PANTHERS:  For becoming the latest Squid Game victims and lying down in so doing...  (Seattle at least puts up a fight against Chicago, so they escape at least the Dud of the Week, but not Urinatingtree's bullets)

WINNER:

THE WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM:  For one of the sorriest-ass performances anyone in the league has put out at all this season -- and then a punch-up on the sideline besides.
