Draft is done and all the big free agency moves are over. We all know basically what each team has to work with now. Which team will give us the biggest test and is the most improved in the division. Put on your tin foil hats and predict the future.

Atlanta. Still some formidable talent on that squad and improved in the areas they needed.

Just a matter of whether Quinn is a good coach or if he's a product of that sheer talent on the Seattle defense. Also, that offensive line still needs an overhaul and that wasn't addressed in the draft.

Division will end up in this bold prediction:

1. Carolina - pretty obvious choice B)

2. Atlanta - fast team with no physicality, a do or die the next two years for Matty to deliver for the franchise

3. Tampa Bay - starting to settle, trending up or just be the Bucs like always

4. NO - LOL stand back and watch the death the next couple years of the Sean Payton era. When the defensive coordinator Ryan was kept and mediocre draft with team roster blown up, all I can say is it is good to be a Panthers fan.

Agree with Atlanta.  New coach, new defensive talent, dangerous offense especially if they focus on the run game again.  New Orleans is ripe to implode and Tampa is probably 2 seasons away until Winston develops more.

There is so much up in the air right now.

 

How good a head coach will Dan Quinn be? (and will his O-Line be any better)

 

What are the Saints gonna be like after trading away guys like Graham and Kenny Stills and remaking their roster?

 

Will Jameis Winston boom or bust?

 

Lots and lots of unknown right now.

Taints

Failcons

Yucks

 

Taints losses in passing game are balanced by gains in run game; D-line hurt last year is getting healthy

Failcons struggle early with new blocking and defense schemes; will improve later in season if they stay healthy

Yucks depending on rookie QB and rookie O-Line; no pass-rushing DEs and shaky secondary

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
