2018-2019 NFL Season Thread Football • Page 365

Yeah, I've read we had a pretty great draft, but I don't watch college football so I couldn't tell you a thing about any of the players.

 

AFC

AFC West got strong.

AFC South got strong. Except Colts.

AFC North and AFC east are where the bad teams are in the conference sans Indianapolis, imo. I think Bills, Bengals, and sadly still the Browns. With the Dolphins and Jets not far behind.

Chiefs and Ravens should plod along with good coaching and be middle of the pack, even though their young QB are too raw. Raiders roster is weird but I do thinkGruden can clean them up. However I think the once dominant teams (Steelers, Patriots) are gonna start declining this year. They’ll still win their divisions but it will be clearly uncomfortable.

That’s just the AFC but I think that despite the AFC being weak last year... it got way stronger this offseason overall. So there should be some NFC mixed in to that top 10-13 picks.

——————————-

NFC

NFC South is strong as shit. Bucs are the odd man out but it’s hard to count them out cause they’re such persistent division rivals, they are gonna squeeze some spite wins out of better divisional teams.

NFC West is gonna flip and SF / LAR rivalry is gonna take over, but I do think Seahawks are at least middle of the pack, and Cardinals (for real, they need weapons but they’ll have DJ back and I love Rosen).


So the bad teams are the other divisions.

NFC East is honestly not that great right now. Eagles should own that shit. Cowboys could be worse than people think. Washington WheatThins are gonna be trash bags. I don’t believe in the Giants yet even though they had an excellent draft.

NFC North, Vikings should still own that shit. It always surprises me Rodgers carries the Packers and they’ll probably again finish better than I think but they are waning. Lions and Bears just ain’t about to be good.


Randall’s bad team predictions
I think the Lions, Bears, Redskins and Giants round out the top 10 (with Indy, Cleveland, Buffalo, Cincy, Miami and Jets from AFC) and then the Buccaneers, Cowboys and Cardinals are all candidates for that 11-14 range, with the Raiders, Broncos and Ravens all being AFC teams that could slip here as well.

 

Gotta say, this is pretty spot on. At least in what I think too.

Totally agree with what you say about the Giants. They had a great draft, but I think their issue is Eli. Hasn't been an above average QB in years.

 

I edited my AFC analysis in to that post as well

 

Stop editing things

 

Panthers v Steelers SB

 

No way they get past the pats for the 333rd time

 

Panthers SB lmao.

 

LA and LA SB

 

Not totally out the realm of possibilities

LA still won't care tho heh

 

I hear there's a sweet AAU tourney that day so nah

 

If we don't get Eagles/Rams NFC championship game then what is life

 

Meaningless either way

 

Add the Panthers to my list of middle-pack teams. Don’t think they’ll fall as low as pick 11 but 14-17 is entirely possible

 

I feel like the Panthers could win the division and could go 6-10

And they could even do both somehow

 

Well I did it one conference at a time and then decided that doing it all in one post was better

 

Panthers are better than they were last year and have an easier schedule than last year

 

Rivera is a good coach so he will make it work. I wont bet against them but i wouldnt bet on them either

 

Playoffs 4 out of 5 years and people still predict us to miss the playoffs every year

 

I do believe the Panthers will win the division

I can't talk myself out of that thought

 

Its cause their roster isnt that good haha. They are just extremely well coached

 

The core of the roster is great. And Rivera knows how to best utilize the lesser role players. That’s why it works.

 

Oh yeah again, Rivera is dope as hell haha. A slightly lesser coach would do poorly

 

Saints and Falcons division tho. I think highly of where both teams are heading
