in the AFC we have the #2 offense (#31 defense) against the #3 defense (#15 offense)

in the NFC we have the #8 offense (#27 defense) against the #4 defense (#26 offense)

I think it's going to be offense from the AFC and defense from the NFC.

I guess you could say the Ravens are the most balanced but I just don't trust Flacco, dude is poop. Giants defense has really stepped it up lately and that #27 ranking is no indication of where they are now. #26 on offense for the niners I think is a little low considering the flashes they showed against NO, I think it was more about conservatism during the regular season rather than ineptitude. Patriots defense made The Golden Calf of Bristol look like everyone thought The Golden Calf of Bristol should look so maybe they are gelling too but I don't believe it. I also don't think they need to gel with Brady and those TEs on offense.

Brady and the TEs v Gore and the defense

New school v Old school

Should be a good one.

Really has been fascinating. I think Brady is on a mission to prove hes still #1. Saturday he ended 'Tebowmania' (again), and This Sunday he and Bill get a chance to avenge their blowout loss two years ago. And after seeing Joe Flacco with had 3ts no picks look mediocre, they could do it. How weird is it that a QB can play a turnover free game and throw 3tds and still look average? Compare Alex Smith's 3-0 to Flacco's ...not even close.

On the other side that 49ers D is AWESOME. I mean they literally beat the living poo out of the Saints. Justin Smith is a dirty beast. I can't wait to this game. I have no clue who has the edge.

I was gonna say, the Giants D is playing like a top 10 D now... That could be a real fight of a game.

Bal vs. NE has potential to be a good game, or a blowout. If the Pats scheme to beat the Ravens D, the Ravens don't have enough offense to stay up with them.

Having said that I hope Ray Lewis et al smears Tom Brady's guts on the field.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with every word you wrote.

Damn.

It's easy to throw TD passes when you don't have to put drives together. I don't have the numbers infront of me but I think all their points came off turnovers.

Once they get rid of Flacco, they might be a real threat

Two teams led by great defenses and mediocre QBs.

Two teams led by good QBs and up until this point terrible defenses.

So many possible story lines for the superbowl it's crazy.

It's also weird seeing my childhood team back in the hunt

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
