The Hawks run the ball more than anyone in the league, and Purdy is just as likely to kill a game,  I think Seatle wins and those two qbs combine for 5+ ints 

Seahawks defense is special

I am leaning New England because Stroud has to overcome the noise, the weather, missing Collins and they are gonna pressure the hell out of him. 
 

I feel like Buffalo and Denver is gonna be a tight low scoring game. Toss up. 
 

Seattle at home? Seattle by 10. 
 

Bears and Rams? Tough one. Rams defense is suspect at this level, and weather and the crowd is going to be hard to beat. I don’t know. Home field vs mucho playoff seasoning and Stafford? 
I can’t pick that one either but if I were forced to I go with the experience.

Stroud was pressured like hell against Pittsburgh and they are a FAR better pass rush team than NE. Collins being out will be a thing, for sure. New England is a less effective defense than Pittsburgh. I think it still comes down to which QB fugs up the least. 

Weather may be a huge factor with LA. Don't forget that finger injury to Stafford too. In that weather, no less.

Yeah I was almost going to mention the finger but he did so well last week after whatever they did to it at halftime I let it go. It could get hit and messed up worse, it is a weak point. 
 

Weather and home field crowd in Chicago are huge challenges no doubt. I can’t really be confident in LA but the inexperience of Chicago in a game with this stuff at stake is likely to be a factor, enough to make it hard to be confident in them. So who knows….

This I think defense wins it for Seattle and Houston

I want you guys to take a moment, read this multiple times, and understand exactly what I’m saying

Id rather have Bryce than bo nix

He’s one of the worst QBs under pressure you’ll ever see. He can time a deep ball well, but if he wasn’t on Payton’s squad, he’d be on the Nova Scotia Elephants

They both have to overcome terrible QB's, though. I agree on the elite power of both defenses but the suckage of those QB's is something that has to be accounted for.

Yea but they are also playing horrible QBs  (for the Hawks especially both Darnold And Purdy have thrown 6 int in their last 4 )  as for the Texans, just color me as thinking the Pats very easy schedule will be exposed, they did almost NOTHING vs steelers and the Texans defense is anther level from that

Yeah, if the Pats running game doesn't get off the ground, they will be in a LOT of trouble. As good as Maye was this season, the Chargers gave him fits and this defense is far better than that one.

The one X-factor that can hurt Houston is Maye's legs.

Maye has to run. The Texans, though the best overall defense, were dead last against scrambling QBs.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
