Houston is a sexy pick to be #2 in the AFC. Tennessee added loads of weapons to their offense and help on the OL. Indy has their explosive QB back and added playmakers as well. if anything this is the most exciting the division has been in ages 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they’ve got an actual game managing QB and an OC that’s going to run the ball. Moving off of Pickett and going to Russ (or Fields, with his legs) should be a net positive. But I’m pretty lukewarm on Patrick Queen away from Roquan, at least until proven otherwise. Trading Diontae Johnson and replacing him with Van Jefferson isn’t a net positive, I think. Still have questions about their secondary, and have to wonder if Cam Hayward’s finally hit his wall. But mostly? 9-3 in one score games last year (which tend to be volatile and swing back the other way), the hardest schedule this year, and an absolute brutal second half. I know predicting actual bad results (not just below par, I mean bad) from a Mike Tomlin team is basically like predicting the sun won’t rise, but I’m gonna be surprised again if they prove doubters wrong in 2024. What are the predicted wins? Are people predicting 9-8 or 5-12? They have a brutal schedule late so if you think 8-9, is that over rated? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are -110 to win the division and yet TB is +300 and NO is even longer. Are we sure Cousins is going to be 100% healthy and back to normal coming off an injury, in a new offense and on a team with a new DC? Tampa is my favorite in that division. New Orleans is stuck in mediocrity purgatory right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really a new offense when he's going from one McVay acolyte to another McVay acolyte? And the new HC was needed. It's like the Richmond FC going from a terrible coach who the players hated to Ted Lasso... only this Ted Lasso is actually qualified to coach the sport he's coaching and the locker room here isn't total dog **** like that one was.

If anything they're overrated Imo Differences of exposure. I’ve seen many takes, but can’t recall anyone putting them over SF, DET, or PHI for a top 3 NFC team.

I personally think that Detroit still make the playoffs, though takes a step back this year. San Fran will have a Super Bowl hangover at some point in the season and I think they win somewhere between 9-11 games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how old the team is, wouldn't surprise me in the least if they got destroyed by injuries though. Schedule makers aren't doing them much of a favor either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Arthur Smith wasn't a McVay acolyte, so that certainly makes it sound like a new offense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was referring to Cousins Quote Are we sure Cousins is going to be 100% healthy and back to normal coming off an injury, in a new offense and on a team with a new DC? It's not that different of an offense from what they were running in Minnesota or LA from what the understanding is. Kirk has LOTS of input into it too.

Who in tf is going to be good in the NFC, then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
