Left Team because this is setting up for a classic Jets Defense shows up but they lose anyway because the offense is now dead game.

nah they robbed the Texans blind with the Tunsil trade

i am astounded that anybody actually tuned in to watch those teams play but I guess OBJ made it a bit worth it.

it's early days but who is the best team in the NFC so far

Rams and Cowboys have both looked pretty good imo

I want to believe it's the Rams but sadly it may actually be the cowboys.
I'll never count the Seahawks out if RW is healthy.

ya go my Cowboys

of course we beat up on the dregs of the NFC East but our offense looks pretty solid regardless!
---

Prescott looks like a man possessed this year and I'm honestly happy for him. I'm friends w a fair few Cowboys fans IRL and it's been exhausting defending him against them the past few seasons.

also don't sleep on the 49ers.
---

I've always been a Prescott believer, even when he was at Mississippi State. I honestly thought getting him in the 4th round was a steal, even at the time.

I'm not sold on the Niners yet. Beat a good team first.
---

They're gonna be 4-0 by the time they face us and honestly they're gonna have all the confidence in the world and a chip on their shoulder by that point. Not excited about that game at all.
---

Prescott has been throwing with a lot of confidence and he isnt holding onto the ball too long anymore.
Hes spreading it around and for the first time in a long time I'm scared of the cowboys.

Edit - last time I really feared the cowboys was Romo & TO

Let's go Bills?

Am I alone in thinking Josh Allen is gonna be the guy to watch this year?
---

also god I am so tired of Seattle can they just drop off back to mediocrity already

he has the benefit of a top tier defense and their schedule is NOT HARD.

but he's gonna have to take multiple steps forward this year and they don't have a running game to help him with that. Will be interesting to watch and Bills fans are always the most optimistic fans in sports so

I like Allen a lot, and the Bills in general. That is such a diehard fanbase. Seeing them get a playoff birth recently was special even if it was Tyrod at QB.

Not sure what everyone thinks Josh Allen's ceiling is?

Also the Patriots are without a doubt repeating as Champions, just want to clear that up right now so none of us get too excited about anything other than the inevitable.

Patrick Mahomes will save us

Cowboys/Titans Super Bowl is still in play

I believe
---

Yeah this is going to be the most boring, inevitable season of football ever and I'm having a hard time getting excited enough to find out who the second best team in the league will be.
---

Andy Reid will get out coached again when it matters.

that and the Pats' schedule is so piss easy that there's no way that game is anywhere but Foxboro
---

Yeah even if the Pats do drop a game like @Bills or something, its unlikely that the chiefs go 15-1 or 16-0.
---

there are only three teams in the NFL who haven't played in the first round of the playoffs in the last decade

the Browns, the Bucs, and the Patriots

I saw Flacco do it in Foxborough & Denver so I still believe in Mahomes.
Coaching is another story...

if the patriots have to start pulling fans down from the bleachers to play O-Line, there's a chance they lose in the playoffs (or some other big injury of course)

otherwise Mahomes is our only hope

go pats

Cowboys are the most complete

---

Though honestly it would probably be the Bears if they had a QB that was even as good as Gardner Minshew II

---

Is the Bears trading up one spot to get Trubiski when Mahomes and Watson were in the same draft going to go down as one of the biggest draft bungles ever?
---

Also I hope Miami ends up with the entire 1st Round of the draft

It depends on how Mahomes career plays out but it could possibly be the biggest ever. If you look at their overall roster, it could legitimately cost them a Super Bowl. For all the good things Ryan Pace has done, this could get him fired in a couple of years.

0.76 btw

It's the Cowboys. I've been saying for a while that it has to be either this year or next year for them, and they're showing up.

Unfortunately, yup. A lot easier to care about #2 when it's my favorite team though

The Daniel Jones era has begun
---

Tougher question

Whos #15 in the NFC?

Every NFC team except for the Giants has shown SOME signs of life, right?

Is it the Panthers?

---

If Cam can't be Cam, it could be. I'd say the Cardinals are still kind of in the discussion, even with Murray flashing some promise the first two games. Kingsbury doesn't seem to be trying hard to actually win for whatever the reason.

Yep. Can't argue the Bucs as #15 with their win over Carolina, but they deserve a mention too imo

Man with Brees out 6 weeks, the NFC South just turned into a real crapshoot

---

I'd argue that the Saints could still be fine as long as that's all that Brees misses because the Bucs and Panthers don't seem to be going anywhere, and the Falcons are inconsistent as all get out. If Bridgewater or Hill can manage to go 3-3 (they've got games against the Bucs, Jags, and Cards in the next 6, so it's doable), the Saints should be in a position to win the division when Brees comes back because they're still the most talented team in the division.
---

Yeah, that division is still 100% NO's to win, even with Brees missing time.

It's the weakest division in the league with him out though. And it doesn't even have a tanking team

Maybe I'm an idiot but with Brees out 6 weeks minimum I see Atlanta running away with the division. Teddy isnt bad but looking at their next 6 games the Saints best case scenario here is going 3-3. Then when Brees Returns (if not delayed) it's on the road against the Falcons so a loss there would be huge.

As someone who spent most of his life in Georgia, let me give you one solid piece of advice: Never trust the Falcons. Ever.

The spreads on yahoo are listing dallas as a 21.5 pt favorite over miami, and new england 20.5 over jets.

Holy wow

I read that earlier and was howling.

Maybe this is his secret for getting open

do you want to cover a guy that's constantly farting when you're forced to breathe through your nose because of a mouth guard?
