Eric Davis on NFL Network makes sense "Carolina will have a tougher road back to the Super Bowl, because the NFC is tougher than the AFC"

He is right but its hard to gauge the Vikings now that they've played QB roulette.

He didn't say the Vikings.  He was talking more about the Packers, Seahawks, and Cardinals.  He's got a point on all three.  They all have weaknesses though, Packers have a weakness on defense with their average defense.  Seahawks have a weakness on the Offensive line.  Cards have a weakness on the Offensive Line as well, and pass rush or lack thereof.

Don't know if I agree overall.  The last two Superbowl winners are AFC.  And the weakest division in the NFL is probably going to be the NFC east again.   

 

I do agree that the Panthers likely have a tougher road this year than they did last year, primarily because we are playing the NFC and AFC west.

He was talking more Playoffs.  He's got a point, we'll have to go through GB, Seattle, and Zona to get there.  Just because the AFC's best teams are the Pats (Brady is turning 40 soon, Father Time is calling)and Broncos.  Name another team in the AFC that's a Super Bowl contender?  Oh wait, nothing?  Fair enough.

I'll take Brady playing at 40 over Carson Palmer at 37.

Steelers are definitely a superbowl contender.  In fact, this year they might be the favorite.

They have a massive weakness.  Their defense, and we saw last year if injuries hit on the offensive side they're screwed.  Unlike us, where if an injury hits us at RB or WR.  We still have Cam.

Cardinals are done I think. They got to the championship game last year and we crushed them. Fitz and palmer are both a year older and Floyd, brown and David Johnson arent anything special.   Packers, Seahawks and Panthers are all better and I think they know it. 

 

So if we were in the afc it would be new England or pittsburgh.  Either way it's two teams that are on the Panthers level.

And yet Green Bay was named as a Superbowl Contender, and their defense wasn't much better than Pittsburgh's.  And unlike Green Bay, the Steelers have a running game.  With their offense, the Steelers only need a slight improvement on the defensive side to get past the Pats and Broncos. 

 

But this is a comparison of conferences.  And imo, the NFC east makes the NFC worst overall.

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
