Think Atlanta is going to do anything this year? Offensively they've got some talent at skill position players (London/Pitts/Bijan) and a new coaching staff that ideally won't be allergic to giving the ball to your stars.

I mean that division sucks ass and someone has to win it. probably going to be the Falcons.

if this is the Jameson Williams that the Lions are going to get all year, they are going right back to the NFC Championship and possibly the Super Bowl. Good luck stopping that offense if he finally starts to hit.

The NFC is pretty stratified, and you're gonna have to sell me pretty hard on anything that isn't this, in rough order:

-Det/GB
-Dallas
-Winner of the West(one of SF/Rams/Seattle)
-Winner of the South at 7-10
-Whichever of GB/Det doesn't win the North
-Philly
-One of SF/Rams/Seattle

Might I predict that the NFC East might be a worse division than the NFC South?

I don't see anyone able to get out of their own way in the East, with Dallas coming off a terrible offseason, Dak in decline, and major playmakers holding out. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni will be coaching his way uphill this season after his staff was exposed going 1-7 to finish last season, to include a humiliating 32-9 loss in the playoffs Vs Tampa. Washington might be marginally better but the Giants already look like a disaster made worse by Daniel Jones and his $160M contract.

Interestingly, all NFC East teams will play all NFC South teams this season.

Trey Lance threw 5 interceptions in the pre-season game vs the Chargers today. How was the guy the #3 pick in the draft? That '21 QB draft class looking like straight up ASS right now. Imagine if the 49ers had taken Micah Parsons or Ja'Marr Chase or Penei Sewell or Jaylen Waddle or Patrick Surtain II. Sheesh.

I'm not thrilled with the East either, but between the two divisions the Eagles and Cowboys are the only teams that have shown any resemblance of competence. I could be sold on a third West playoff team in lieu of whichever of the Cowboys/Eagles don't win the East.

The rest I stand by.

Imagine if you either (a) spent money on pieces to surround your top 10 draft pick QB, rather than on a QB; or (b) didn't waste a top 10 draft pick on a backup QB

Lions cut WR Donovan Peoples Jones after trading with the Browns for him last season at the deadline for a 6th round pick. 

Thought he was going to blossom after having really good seasons as a #2/3 WR option for the Browns in 2021 & 2022. Never happened. Odd case of a guy that was a former 5* #1 WR top 10 overall recruit and is an athletic freak at 6'2, 212 lbs who runs 4.4 in the 40 and has a 45" vertical leap. You think he'd have put it all together by now and become a real player. Guess not.

Can't run routes.

Also, apparently the Lions burned 2 timeouts on Saturday when he lined up in the wrong spot

he was a shitty route runner even at Michigan unless he was running a go and just trying to run past people deep. really wonder if the kid should've played safety or rb in college and if those would've been better positions for him. he's got the size/physicality to play them. 

problem is you're not going to land a kid like that or keep him around with the portal if you try and make him move positions. he'll just commit somewhere else who lets him play wr.

One of the Pittsburgh sports talk guys was banging the drum LOUDLY for the Steelers to take Mahomes with their pick, which was like #25.  That Ben was just about done, and tine to invest in a guy to sit for a year and take over in 2018.  Turns out obviously Mahomes didnt even fall that far, but he got absolutely blasted by his cohosts for that take.

Granted the Steelers wound up taking TJ Watt with that pick,  so it still worked out pretty ok
