Barring any injuries Eagles clearly representing NFC in the Super Bowl. They just have too many weapons and the defense is legit top in the league.

There is a rookie DB shutting down elite WRs and there is no discussions about it.

Cowboys showed some heart that’s what up

Commanders are who we thought they were. The media put too much pressure on these rookies and young teams

NFC North is scary as fukk if you are an NFC north team. The division can easily be won by 3 separate teams.

Lions are beating on bad teams. I don’t think they are fareal especially with that QB.

It will be harder for the refs and league to cheat for Chiefs this year in the playoffs.

Bears would have more wins if Fields was QB
You mean the same Fields that got benched in Pittsburgh?

Ok. I guess in your eyes their first test will be the Bills in a few weeks. For me I've already seen enough from this team to know their championship caliber whether they beat the Bills or not. They're battle tested, built to win in several different ways, and well coached and disciplined. I just wanna see them get healthier down the stretch. Their depth had really been tested yet they keep showing up. But at some point they may reach their limit with the injuries and still being productive.
I agree on all that, that’s why I and I guess the majority holds them at #1. But as a risk manager, the Bills game will be very interesting. A lot more interesting than beating losing records teams by 50, as far as SB-chances are concerned. But then again, they could’ve taken it all last season, people act like it’s new, so I might be exaggerating a little.

But like you said, even in that game, all the injuries might not give a fair representation of the squad that will represent in the playoffs.

I've seen Drew Lock play and I've seen Tommy Devito play. There's no way Daboll, a former QB coach believes Devito is a better QB. The Giants are tanking and Devito is in for fan service. Every week saquon makes that whole organization look like a joke because everyone knew he was 90% of the offense except them.

There is a QB development problem but it's a case by case basis. It just seems like a league wide issue. It falls on the franchise. A lot of these guys are propped up by the uneven skill level of the NCAA and the simplicity of college offenses. Most can't read NFL defenses. The reality is that a lot of these guys need to sit, learn, and adjust but they get thrown to the wolves because franchises don't have time to go through the motions or they got drafted for a coach that needs to win immediately. They don't even get these guys decent blind side tackled.

The raiders might be screwed the next few years based off the division shaking up now.

The chiefs with Mahomes will win it for the rest of his prime so at best second place. But the problem is the development of the other 2 teams

The chargers have Herbert but he actually has a real HC now. They are gonna win 10 games in year one of the rebuild year. They don’t even have WR’s yet.


Then you have the broncos which have suprised everyone. Despite dealing with Russell Wilson’s historic cap hit they have 7 wins and a young QB who is playing very well. Also an established superbowl winning HC. This is probably the worst team Nix is every gonna play on.

I think Pierce is a terrible HC who should’ve never gotten the job but he’s in almost an impossible situation. They could fire him, get the best HC candidate available, hit on the first pick in the draft and still be the 4th best team in the division the next 3 years.

He didn't get benched, he was obviously the 2nd option from the beginning behind Russ but Russ was injured.

Now he might've been better than Caleb, or not that's a different story. Russ is a veteran that's still championship caliber, those two young guys got their best days ahead of them, maybe far ahead.

He did get benched. If he was playing lights out, then he would have still had the job when Russ came back.

Let’s not sit here and argue otherwise.
He didn't get benched for playing bad, he got benched because they have one of the biggest QB names in the league.

He didn't lose the QB1 position, he was QB2 and still still is.

Of course if he was dropping 300 yards, 2-3 TDs and 100+ rating, of course he would get bumped up to QB1. :snoop:

Obvious tank and the players need to realize whats going on. They are aiming for Shadeur or Cam.

He still got benched at the end of the day regardless of how you try and spin it.

Their job is to win games and not care about tanking especially with their jobs at stake. I don’t blame them for questioning the decision.
