Also, and it happens every year but someone will come out of the blue and have a great season. Someone will fall on their face. Cinci surprised everyone by making the playoffs and the Eagles surprised many (not me) by finishing 3rd in the East.

Call me crazy but i have a feeling Seattle will be the surprise team on the up and Pittsburgh on the down. Maybe just for this year.

I think the Hawks will win the WEST and the 49ers will come back down from the mountain....

NFC North

NFC South

NFC East

The AFC is predictable. Especially the North and East. AFC south is the weakest and the west...well it's the west. Pats, Ravens, Steelers are always the top dogs. The AFC south will be won by the Texans now that Peyton is gone. The west is mediocre, even with Manning residing there now. I just don't buy that he's going to come in and be a 100% right away.

The AFCN is a tough DIV IMO, mainly because that DIV DEF is crazy. The worst team in the DIV was ranked 5th in PPG and 10th in YPG. The Browns, if we would've had the worse DEF in the AFCN, we would've went 12-4 at the least.

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:

For the same reason and from a Panthers point of view, the NFCSouth will be the easiest.

My surprise team next year is the Titans while my surprise drop team is Detroit. I just see a slight drop back from them like 8-8 to 9-7 drop from them while finishing 3rd in the division.

Based nothing on last years performance (and solely on next years potential), here is how I would rate the divisions:

NFC North: 3 potential playoff teams: Lions, Packers, Bears

AFC North: 3 potential playoff teams: Ravens, Bengals, Steelers

NFC East: 3 potential playoff teams: Cowboys, Eagles, Giants

NFC South 3 potetntial playoff teams: Saints*, Falcons, Panthers

AFC East 2 potential playoff teams: Patriots, Bills

NFC West 2 potential playoff teams: 49ers, Seahawks

AFC West Division Winner playoff team only (toss up on who that will be, probably at a record of 8-8 or 9-7)

AFC South Division Winner playoff team only (Texans, if healthy, Titans if Texans are not)

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By strato · Posted

      I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
