You can use this nfl.com link as a reference point if need be http://www.nfl.com/s...G&split=Overall

Out of the 8, I immediately dismiss the AFC South, Then both west divisons.

Then it gets tough

I think the AFC North(Steelers,Ravens,Bengals and Browns) is the Class of the AFC with the AFC East(Bills,Patriots,Jets, and Dolphins) not too far behind.

The Class of thje NFC is a toss up between the South, North(Bears,Lions,Packers and Vikings) and East(Cowboys,Giants,Eagles,and Skins).

I honestly can't rank them once down to those 5. Try and put your rankings together and see if theres a consensus.

should be a fun offseason challenge to kill some time.

Until the Panthers convert potential into wins, the falcons prove they can win a playoff game, and the bucs win more than 8, considering the NFCS one of the top 5 divisions is a wee bit homerish.

Id go with

NFCN

AFCN

AFCE

I don't think its homerish at all to consider the South better than either west division or the AFC south, would you honestly rank any of those divsions better than the NFC South?

As evidenced the past few years the NFC East should be the toughest in the league. Every year they beat up on each other and drive down overall records. This last year the entire division was decided by 1 game. Next up would be the tough one, solely based on Tampa and Carolinas recent struggles and the Norths ability to beat the South I give them the nod.

The AFC is pretty cut and dry, East and North rule that conference.

Soooo.... Pretty much the North and the East out of both conferences.

PS: The NFC South will take over as the toughest in all of football all because of :cam:

Id say the only slam dunk worse division right now is the AFCS. I think that the AFCW is only slightly worse and with Manning out there now that changes the way you judge that division. NFCW is about even in my book.

Maybe we are the top of the bottom half but there is no way we are in the top half.

not yet anyway.

Based on last year...

AFC North- The AFC North had three teams make the playoffs last year in the Steelers, Ravens, and Bengals

NFC North- Detroit and Green Bay dominated that division last year.

NFC South- The Saint's and Falcons were on top of their games last year.

This year, in my opinion

NFC North- The Lions, Packers, and Bears all have the ability to make the playoffs this year.

AFC North- Like the other two divisions, the AFC North has three teams in the Steelers, Ravens, and Bengals that can make the playoffs.

NFC East- The Giants and Eagles seem to be the favorites, but everyone in the North has a shot at that division this year.

The reason I don't have the NFC South up there is because I only think one team will make the playoffs from the NFC South, it will be us or the Falcons.

I think the Falcons will be decline a little bit from last year and the Saints**** will be significantly worse. I personally think we can go 11-5, and I see the Bucs as a five win team.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
