Top 10 is fair. We are about one or two blue chip players away from being an Elite team IMO (with an added dash of franchise stability but its the Raiders lol). Ruggs has certainly stepped it up this year. As a wise FB Youtuber once said "Henry Ruggs Go Fast". Their DL has been lights out with their Hair on Fire. Maxx Crosby is insane. Ngokue is playing very well. Solomon Thomas has been reborn. And Carl Nassib is Kicking Ass and Taking names.
BUT our OLine play has been more ughh than good and our depth at CB is lacking.
On the way to work I was thinking...base on AFC performance as of today, what the Power Ranking is. And too me it goes iike this:
1. Bills (And it aint even up for debate)
2. Chargers
3. Ravens
4. Browns (but they are getting hit with the injury bug)
5. Chiefs (could be back on the upswing)
6. Raiders
7. Titans
8. Bengals
9. Steelers
10. Patriots
11. Colts
12. Broncos
13. Dolphins
14. Texans
15. Jets
16. Jaguars
With current Ws against the Steelers, Ravens & Miami and upcoming games against the Browns, Colts, & Bengals...Raiders got a solid shot a WC. But I agree....I don't see them taking the divison unless the Chargers implode and the Chiefs don't bounce back.
I'm glad that the NFL is starting to take mental health seriously. Anxiety and Depression are REAL and should be treated and dealt with appropriately.
