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.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I'll say 6. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition and will do more to help the defense than anyone. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole there. For all the hype surrounding Sanders and Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
