I saw that on ESPN first take while i was eating breakfast this morning, the sound was off so i had to just gather what i could

We were the 3rd most dangerous team after the steelers for 2009, I was actually really suprised that they were giving us that much credit, I would have thought they would have picked the falcons over us as they seem much more trendy

I was also a little pissed that they gave the cardinals 0 credit, that's messed up

Above us were the patriots, giants, and steelers

I think that is an accurate rating of where we are right now, if Fox and Co. will address the D-line this year like they addressed the running game last year i think we will be as elite as anybody

The Patriots are going to be the most pissed off team in the league. Brady will probably come back with a vengeance and the rest of the team will be pissed about missing the playoffs.

We have a very tough schedule, I don't see us winning unless the defense gets it together and Jake plays better.

Pats, Steelers, Chargers, and Colts will all be pretty damn scary next year in the AFC.

The NFC is much harder to figure out. There is a logjam at the top, and to me there is not elite team that is head and shoulders above the rest.

Panthers

Giants

Philly

AZ

And then this group of surprisers...they could pop up and be very good.

Cowboys?????

GB

Saints

Atlanta

Seahawks

Minny

Way to early to tell.

Why wouldn't we be? Granted we are going to lose peppers but besides Jakes meltdown it should have been us in the superbowl. We went 12-4 we should be a threat next year.

Jakes meltdown, the D giving up, us not having a viable way to stop a great Pass O.

There are plenty of questions, and I suspect that we will be good, but we won't have the same chance this up coming year.

Again,

Healthy, first round bye, home field.

P.S. We still would have had to beat the Ealges.....

Wonder how dangerous a team we were predicted to be in 2004? And in 2006?

;)

In reality, I think we will win the South next year with a 9-7 record, and will be the only team from our division in the playoffs. We play a brutal schedule next year, but it will make us stronger when playoff time comes.

At least that's what the homer in me keeps saying. :party:

      I consider last year Bryce's rookie year.....and I expect some regression/D adjustment in his second season in Canales' O.  Film is film.   So yeah, I agree....he won't be the dude that opened up the year week 1 or closed the door week 17.  We will get some dude in between it all most likely.  Which IMO puts us in a really awkward no man's land with Bryce.

      The question is which Bryce shows up game 1. Do we get week 2 (2024) Bryce, or week 18 (2024) Bryce?  I will say that his progression after the benching last year was amazing. He literally got better every game - sans Dallas. Like every week he did something we hadn't seen him do before. And it wasn't luck, toss it up for grabs plays like Penix did against Carolina. Penix was just throwing the ball as hard as he could in the direction of a receiver and hoping they'd make a play for him. What we saw from Bryce was different. Decision making, reading defenses, recognizing blitzes and where they were coming from, knowing his hot, avoiding pressure and manipulating the pocket, throwing with anticipation, taking shots downfield, and running the ball surprisingly well. Stats don't always tell the story. Did he miss some throws that he should have made - sure did. But the clutch gene is strong with this one. One score game and Carolina has the ball with 2 minutes on the clock - I'm confident he'll give them a chance to win more than he doesn't.

      I really like David Moore. He's a reliable WR. Smart, doesn't drop the ball and he's where he's supposed to be. Now, he ain't gonna route up a DB. He ain't gonna 50/50 ball a DB. He ain't gonna run by a DB either. But he runs a good enough route and catches the ball - definitely an NFL average WR. Every team could use a David Moore. Now if this receiving group can force Dan and Dave to let him go, then this team has come a long way since 2023. A LONG way. But I will say that Horn's speed is a big deal. They don't really have another guy with speed and quickness to blow the top off the defense and make guys miss in space after the catch, though he is still a rookie and hasn't done it in the NFL. If he and Renfrow push Moore out, then we might actually have something gents. Plus I see Renfrow as Thielen's replacement in 2026. I just don't think Coker is the reliable, move the chains guy like Thielen. Could be wrong.
