I got

Bears vs. Packers rematch

I know everyone is on the Detroit hype train, but it's the same thing every year with these "up and comer" teams(ie Buccaneers last year). they start off hot, but in the end falter while the teams that have been doing this for years. Bears are getting hot at the right time and I think this Bears/Lions game coming up will ultimately decide who gets the first wild card in the NFC.

Texans(GASP!) vs. Jets

I know I know, Texans making the playoffs? Their defense has taken a complete 180 from previous years and is #1 in total yards, and most importantly #3 in points per game. They've also been without Andre Johnson, arguably the best receiver in the NFL, for weeks now. They've got a cake division and will probably clinch a division title & playoff spot long before the season ends. The Jets, as much as I hate Mark Sanchez, are still a great football team when they stick to their run game and defense. I've bet against them the past two years and I'm not going to this year. Their defense is too good in January. I think the Patriots reign over the AFC East is officially over.

Well isn't that a shocker

What's the problem with my pick?

Atlanta has started playing well as of late, namely the defense has played lights out. I'm not impressed with either the Giants or 49ers. The Bears or Lions could pose a problem, but we already beat the Lions and the Bears have regressed lately. The Saints are too up and down, beating the Colts like a drum then losing to the Rams, honestly I'm not sure if they will even make the play-offs with their recent injuries.

So yeah, I think Atlanta has as good a shot as anyone to lose to the Packers in the NFCCG.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      By shaq · Posted

      Who are your top three breakout candidates for next season?    My three: Jatavion Sanders- Simply put he is the best receiving TE we have had since Olsen. We all saw his potential over that three game stretch prior to his neck injury where he showed a real connection with Bryce. Good route runner with glue for hands, limited blocking upside but he gives solid effort. With Tremble already being hurt I don’t see a reason why he already isn’t our starter and clear future at TE. Trevin Wallace- For a developmental LB forced into a starting role last year he  exceeded expectations. LB is one of the hardest positions to adjust to from college, and for a prospect who was widely regarded as very raw, surprisingly he was solid in coverage and only had an 11.9% missed tackle rate. He was overly aggressive consistently, and needs to work on his play recognition. But he is set up to be our best LB next season, and likely starter for years ahead. Even barring reaching his upside, his floor was clearly a lot higher than draft pundits assumed(Morgan can scout LBS). Cade Mayes- I am hopeful Cade wins the starting job at C this season. He may have been our most improved player last season, he looked like an above average starting C after he took over for an injured Corbett. He allowed 0 sacks on 327 pass block snaps. Corbett can not stay healthy, and at this stage in his career Mayes is objectively the better player. Mayes is only 26 and gives us the potential of stability at C, something we have never had since Ryan Kalil retired. Corbett slots in as a great backup C/Guard, and Cade continues to develop and gain more chemistry with Bryce and our stud duo of Hunt/Lewis.

      Have to pair them like this for it to work, imo. Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Walker Ghosty - Chatfield    I'd prefer something different but that's probably what we end up with unless Ghost is traded to one of the 17 teams not on his MNTC.
