I mean, they did pretty well with Sam Darnold and the dude just won a Super Bowl. I wouldn't say Cousins was their last good QB. Can probably win a fair amount of games with Murray/Wentz, but it's a super tough division now with GB, Det, and Chicago.... probably the best division in football.

I'm not sure how good Detroit is anymore. I think soon, this will be referred to as the post Ben Johnson era in Detroit. They're just a different team without him.

[BaltBird 24]

Yeah, I'm not a Detroit believer anymore. I think they blew their shot. Dan Campbell ain't it, should've let him go and kept Johnson but tough to do after a 12 and 15 win season. Similar to us and MacDonald, but hopefully we found a keeper in Minter.

All those teams are a bit shaky. All of em. They all have a high floor though so in that sense might be the best division. But I dont think they are much better than the NFC West, NFC East, or AFC West

Yeah I think all of the North teams are fine, but none great. Most divisions have a bad team and they don't so they get points there. NFC West has 3 possible SB contenders so I'd take them instead.

If you made me Id rank the divisions

NFC West
NFC North
AFC West
NFC North
AFC North
AFC South
AFC East
NFC South

We'll see if Arizona's win yesterday was a fluke or not, but if it was the fact that the NFC West has a clear doormat makes me bump the NFC North above them.

[BSLMikeLowe]

Looking forward to what is an intriguing matchup tonight.

[BaltBird 24]

I'm skeptical of the AFC West. We'll see how Mahomes recovers. Chargers are always hyped for some reason, Herbert hasn't won anything. Denver should be good. Raiders are meh.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

If you made me plant my flag on one team preseason it would be Denver. Not that I expect them to be leaps and bounds better than other good teams. But at +2000 to win the SB. Give me all that stock. There is no reason they should be entering the year as the AFC team with the 6th or 7th best odds

Was Davis Webb the guy a lot of Ravens fans wanted as HC. At like 30. I dont see it

[You Play to Win the Game]

Good lord the Lions defense has put up all the resistance of a wet paper bag.

That's why the Saints looked better than they actually are last week.  

[TwentyThirtyFive]

No NO is solid. They will win that division.
