For clarification that "us" refers you and me personally not the Packers. I'm actually kinda rooting for them for some reason. Currently a top 2 team in the league. Somehow quietly as well. They should be getting more national attention. They're very legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Solak at The Ringer was writing about how Det's problem is that they have lots of good/very good players, but no real field -tilters. Though I've seen a few teams that were just across the board solid and well coached (and, as with most SB winners, a bit lucky) win SBs - 89 Giants, 01 Pats, 09 Steelers.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention Amon Ra out of the slot is a real problem too. Like you said. The buzz around them is very quiet, a little underrated. Theyve got bona-fide studs and they're built right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There OL as a collective can tilt the field. ARSB is that type of player. LaPorta might be as well. 25 minutes ago, incognito_man said: Hutchinson is in that field tilters tier I think Certainly is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really reminds me of that guy in a pickup game of basketball that is just taking it so much more seriously than everybody else and trying so much harder. .... Then I realize he is doing it at the highest level against the best professional athletes in the world. So yeah. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Block their front and that secondary is not good. That's what Seattle did. They've played 4 straight young, struggling offenses. They will not hold up against SF or Philly in the playoffs, they're not there yet. Both fronts are excellent, but missing DBs and the QB. Now they won't be picking top 10 to fill it out.

Jared Goff is better than Purdy or Hurts. They also just got Jameson Williams back from suspension which is going to help their offense. Lost Montgomery for a bit though. Not saying they are better than the 49ers but they are a really good football team. I think the Eagles are fools gold with Hurts at QB.

I'd agree that's the one flaw and is argument, as far as not giving credit to the OL as a unit and also I agree that Sewell on his own is definitely all pro caliber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
