I was wrong about Trent Baalke. 

I like the idea, but would have to read all 32 team schedules.

 

For now, I can make some less=specific AFC predictions.

 

AFC West

 

*Raiders will be a wild card darkhorse.

*Broncos will win less than 12 games.

 

AFC South

 

*Jaguars and Texans will take title down to the wire.

*Titans will be improved, but not close to playoffs.

 

AFC East

 

*Bills and Jets will not repeat their 2015 success.

*Dolphins will improve, but can't catch Patriots

 

AFC North

 

*Ravens suck again, but not as bad as last year

*Steelers overcome multiple player suspensions

Why is everyone so high on the Packers?

Why is everyone so high on the Packers?

 

Because Green Bay is a very good team.

The have the best QB in the game an a defense that can get after the passer. Lacey looks good too. They're gonna be a really good team this year.

And that great defense has Clay Matthews on the outside again.

 

Yes, Eddie Lacy is back to his old self. Also, the wide receivers are healthy again and don't have to play out of position.

Thanks for the quality analysis

Did they do something different on D this year? They weren't that good last year.

Par the course

Shouldn't you be on the Packers board? I'm sure they'd love to have ya.

32 teams, 32 accounts

They moved Clay Matthews back outside. He played inside last year because of a linebacker shortage.

If I joined a Packers board this week everyone would get mad at me for saying I will root for Jacksonville.

How's that any different than you making us mad for saying you root for the Broncos and Packers? See what I did there?

I will root for Jacksonville next week.

You're bad luck

They're going to need to do more than move an old Clay Matthews back outside to move their middle of the road D to being one that's gonna consistently get after the QB.


GB is definitely one of the top teams in the NFC, but I just don't get how everyone always picks them to be so unstoppable every year.

---

Look at their schedule this year.  Seriously.

 

@ Jacksonville

@ Minnesota (without Bridgewater)

Detroit Lions (No more Megatron)

New York Giants

Dallas Cowboys (Without Romo)

Chicago Bears

@ Atlanta Falcons

Indianapolis Colts

@ Tennessee Titans

@ Washington Redskins

@ Philadelphia Eagles

Houston Texans

Seattle Seahawks

@ Chicago Bears

Minnesota Vikings (without Bridgewater)

@ Detroit Lions (Minus Megatron)

 

They have an easy division, the AFC South, and Aaron Rodgers is their QB.  I'd be very surprised if they have more than 4 losses.
