NFC is a mess this year

[TwentyOne]

IF the NFC top teams are a mess then what are we ?

 

[CowboyRoy]

I didn't say those teams wouldn't be good. I don't know how those situations will turn out.
I still think both those teams should be favored over Dallas and di not say otherwise., but they do have some red flags
But it's not perfect

What's with your condescending reply anyway?
You sound like you're angry, for some reason.

Angry? Laughable means Im laughing.

The injury thing is definitely an issue for them. But the emotional thing is a joke.

Fans have been writing off Brady for years and he has a way of making them looks silly.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Eagles might be a top 5 team in the nfc. They probably win the division. But they can’t win the conference. They’re not a real contender

They are loaded save the QB. If they had Dak they would be an instant legitimate contender.

 

[NumOneQB]

Brady is just tired of 20+ years of training camps. He regrets coming out of retirement for the beating of preseason. I bet he retires for good after this season.

 

[Fletch]

Dallas will not be a playoff team

Dallas will be a playoff team.

 

[CowboyRoy]

AFC significantly stronger

Deeper maybe.

 

[JBS]

By far?

Who won the SB last year?

Not sure you understand what a better conference means

 

[JBS]

Deeper maybe.

Yeah that’s what stronger / better means

 

[JBS]

Their quarterback is not good and will bite them in the end.

Easier schedule by a good bit

 

[DFWJC]

Naw; would like your plus-minus take about the AFC upper echelon.

Bills
already loaded on both sides of the ball
young, ascending and dominant QB
added Von Miller, DT Daquan Jones, DT Tim Settle, G Roger Saffold

Chiefs
still have Mahomes
big losses of Tyreek Hill and Tyrian Matthau
big Oline improvement last year should be better with youth >
added Juj-Ju and MVS (still doesn't make up for Hill loss)
added Justin Reid

Bengals
added three higher-end starters to that awful Oline....huge upgrade
But will have a tougher schedule

Chargers
fairly loaded and young roster (including QB) should continue to grow
added All Pro corner JC Jackson to already tough secondary
added 3 of the better FA DTs to load up the middle
added TE Everett

Broncos
added Russell Wilson
already top-end defense added DE Gregory and DT DJ Jones

Raiders
huge upgrade at WR. added All Pro Devante Adams and Keelan Cole to pair with Renfro and TE Waller
added Pro Bowler DE Chandler Jones

Ravens
should have Lamar Jackson back from injury
added starting FS Marcus Williams
added starting DT Morgan Moses
added Kye Fuller

Miami
not sure about Tua
but added weapons all over the place, including WR Hill
already have a good D

If Jalen makes a step up a little he is not far off from a Dak. Not saying he is but he looked pretty solid against the Jets (which I know may not be saying much). My worries for the birds is more RB at this point. Can't wait for the real games to begin. Things will settle out pretty quickly in the first few weeks.

Till the season happens, the Cowboys are the team to beat for the NFC east.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Yeah that’s what stronger / better means

Not at the top, which is all that matters.

I've never been one to ever write off Brady.
In fact, I called for a TB Super Bowl appearance two years ago.

 

[Mannix]

I've been thinking the same thing....the NFC is down, so Chuckles worries about paying guys in 2025.

His passing is way off from Dak. But he is one the two most effective QB's with his legs. That matters.

Well you just sounded like you were writing him off.

 

[DFWJC]

I left out the Saints, but they would be in the upward trend, imo. I was talking about red flags vs improvements
They could squeeze into the playoffs
Vikings may challenge GB too. Guess we'll see.

 

[DFWJC]

Well you just sounded like you were writing him off.

Maybe he comes back from his "sabbatical" ready to tear folks a new one again.

 

[Nav22]

Though I'm not sure Dallas can/will capitalize on the gift-wrapped opportunity, it does appear that the NFC has issues across the board this year.

Maybe we can at the very least advance a game or two in the playoffs?

I know, I know....don't pile on.....but they all have some issues.

Here are some issues with the top contenders

Bucs.
Brady is taking time away and is really struggling emotionally right now.
Big injuires on the line and elsewhere.

Rams
Stafford has an elbow issue. He's toughed it out his whole career through various pain issues, but this could get him later in the season.
They had some key losses in FA, including Von Miller. Some nice adds too though

49ers
Trey Lance is the starter, so that's a big unknown.

Green Bay
lost maybe the best WR in the league
then lost their #2 and #3 WRS as well.

Cards
They lost a ton of talent: Chandler Jones, Christian Kirk, Chase Edmond, Jordan Hicks, and more

Philly
They were the last team in and still have Hurts as QB, but may be better this year.

So you still won’t tell us where you came up with the “Brady really struggling emotionally” line?

Even though several have asked you to explain where you came up with that?

"Several have asked me?" as in 1 or 2?

Look, the guy is taking a sabbatical away from football for the next two weeks to try to take care of "personal issues".
If "struggling emotionally" is too much and was not worded perfectly enough for some of ya'll....get over it.
I'm not some Pulitzer winner here
jeeez


I will never doubt Brady.
I was just posting some potential issues with various teams
Dude will probably come back even more focused and light up the league again

I consider the Bucs and Rams as the NFC favorites, but who knows.
