It feels odd to say a bad team like the Falcons are being overrated.

celest zephyr
#

It’s a tossup at the bottom of the league tbh

dim kettle
#

I think the Falcons on paper can be much worse then projected rn.

celest zephyr
#

I also wouldn’t say any of the teams they are above are definitively better

#

Maybe if you tried you could say jimmy g + davantae + josh jacobs + maxx Crosby is better but otherwise idk man

#

Cardinals are for sure worse, wait and see with Richardson and stroud, the rams suck ass and the raiders defense blows

dim kettle
#

If I were to guess who's gonna be the bottom 3. Probably will be the Cards, Raiders, and Rams.

celest zephyr
#

Can’t say midfield is any better

#

Probably yeah

#

Colts and texans have just enough to barely make it past

#

Same with the bears

dim kettle
#

The Commies could also be in the mix if Sam Howell shows that he isn't the guy.

celest zephyr
#

For sure yeah

#

Bears aren’t higher than the broncos or browns for me. I love to make fun of Russ and the browns for havingdeshaun, but barring a catastrophe they are probably better week 1 than the bears

#

Patriots are for sure down there also. Idk if they suck that bad, but its not out of the realm of possibility

dim kettle
#

But there's teams like the Bears that make me believe that whoever made this ranking also drinking a lot of the Kool-Aid with the Bears hype. There's some optimism there in Chicago, however, we don't even know how well Fields will be.

celest zephyr
#

Fields hasn’t even proven he’s a consistent thrower

#

For as little as lance has done, i really haven’t seen anything out of fields to call him a noticeably better passer

narrow zodiac
#

I hate to say this but the eagles the best team imo

dim kettle
#

A lot of that has to do with Fields and a lot of it has to do with Gutless Getsy as OC.

#

Eagles are probably winning 13-14 games if nothing goes wrong for them.

Rambo KizaruPog

celest zephyr
#

Dude passed for even less yards per game in 2022 than 2021

#

And people shat on him for being a bad passer in 2021

#

Like idk if you can’t even pass for close to 200 yards per game in the modern nfl then that’s kinda an issue

dim kettle
#

Bears are just so safe with him. And it's not like Fields can't throw. He showed off his arm in Ohio State. It's just he's trapped in a endless cycle of BEARS FOOTBALL!!

celest zephyr
#

Yeah for sure they have to let him use his arm more

#

It’s embarrassing what they are doing

#

Thank god Greg roman is gone also so Lamar can finally pass more

dim kettle
#

Chicago sports love to embarrass themselves.

#

Ravens are gonna be a real threat if they can stay healthy.

That’s crazy to see nfcs grouped like that

I mean all the teams are mid AF so not that crazy to me

More likely than any California team staying alive

AFC North is gonna be a bloodbath

dim kettle
#

I saw the likes of Tree predict the Falcons as winning the NFCS and the margins are very close to each other, but I can't see how the Falcons will be good enough to win 6-7 games even in the weak NFCS. If you're looking at Desmond Ridder as the QB of the future, then why did you bother having Mariota waste the majority of the season last year?

#

Just seems like this Arthur Smith era has been such a big waste of time.

Ter Stegen won the league and almost broke a record for la liga

#

So yea he'd be there

#

Onana was just good for Inter and made the UCL finals so yeah

sweet tree
#

yea

#

MATS was like our best player last season

#

him and Araujo

#

but MATS clutched us so many games, I'm still a bit critical of him but yeah he was good.

sweet tree
#

just needed 1 more cleansheet to set a new record

#

tho that's more so a team dependent stat, the whole backline did well to keep so many games shut

short flame
#

But he doesn’t even start for Germany and he got thrown out of the champions league

sweet tree
#

he does now actually with neuer not being completely fit

#

and I agree thats where my critique with MATS comes from

short flame
hasty basin
#

He will start

sweet tree
#

he's never really shown much on the big stage, infact I'd say he was mostly getting embarrassed a couple of times

#

otherwise he was solid for us in the League, I hope he shows up this season in UCL.

It's like how Livakovic is getting for solely his WC performances

Neuer's the best GK I've seen tbh

but idk. he might be done

He's my favourite player all time

that injury apparently doesn't look good

#

And who got me into football in the first place

But yeah

At some point he'll call quits

Alisson not even nominated for a goalie

#

damn I didn't realize that but that's terrible

#

Arguably liverpool's best player last szn

Was Kolo Muani that good to get nominated

hexed galleon
#

Whys fucking kolo muani on there

burnt cedar
sweet tree
#

I dont see what's wrong with saka being there

#

he had a good season

burnt cedar
#

Think Saka will be around the 10th spot

#

Which is nice for him

#

Personally would have Odegaard ahead of him but not by much

hexed galleon
burnt cedar
hexed galleon
#

I agree saka should be on there

#

But why isnt rashford on there either

burnt cedar
#

Saka was also in a title race while Rashford wasn’t

#

If Rashford does get nominated he’s coming like top 20 max

hexed galleon
#

I might be blind but where messi at

#

Did they not post the sixth

burnt cedar
#

Don’t think they’ve posted them all

sweet tree
#

10 more to go

#

it's usually 30 I think

burnt cedar
#

Yeah 30

sweet tree
#

only announced 20 players

hexed galleon
#

Theres only 5/6 atm

#

Wouldve been fucking hilarious if Messi didnt make it

sweet tree
#

yeah they haven't announced mbappe yet either

#

still a few nominees left

hexed galleon
#

andre goatnana made it its unbelievable

sweet tree
#

griezmann should still make it

hexed galleon
#

the ucl final was such a robbery

#

Really wish inter wouldve won it

#

Idk why they didnt just play lukaku and dzeko if they were that desperate to play lukaku

hexed galleon
#

How kolo muani makes it despite not doing anything and costing france a world cup is beyond me

sweet tree
#

yeah idk how he made it, tho I haven't watched much of the bundesliga

#

heard he was doing decent there but yeah idk, top 30? not sure about that

hexed galleon
#

Ballon d'or is french so theyre biased probably

#

Kolo muani did decent but he was playing for frankfurt lol

I dont think rashford gets in

but who knows

Yeah if Musiala is there then I’d give it to him

either of those 2

but I think bellingham is getting it

Feel like from what I saw musiala was better last year

bellingham should've won it last year tbh

But maybe these last 5 games might give Jude a buff

but I think musiala has better potential

If he wasn’t winning it then nobody was

Then Bellingham

Wonder kid my ass

He has to win

I feel like there’s one every year

I'm glad Pedri won it, Gavi one was questionable tbf

hexed galleon

Gavi has not been good enough to win a golden boy for Barça

I'm waiting for Martinelli Ballon Dor nomination

If any1 from Barça should win it its balde or

dare i say

#

lamine yamal

Isn’t golden boy voted for by the previous winners

Yeah im kidding

#

Lamine yamal has potential though ill give him that

#

Hes probably winning it in the next years

sweet tree
#

he looks decent but yeah too soon

burnt cedar
#

Yeah he shouldn’t even be nominated

Lautaro and Lukaku was such a disasterclass

Lautaro was decent

Griezmann and Lewa in. Nice

Lautaro was decent but not with lukaku

no rashford..

I didn't think he was gonna be in top 30 tbh

he was good but for a few months icl

hexed galleon

I didnt expect lewandisney to make it

well he was la liga pichichi but tbh he had a falloff at the start of the year

Nah you have to be trolling at this point

I wonder how high alvarez is

the weight of a world cup is heavy but could also go to haaland

3rd nominee will probably also be a city player

You talk about game changing players

He’s on that list

rustic ore

Smack dab in his prime, never got in trouble off the field, from what I’ve seen/heard well liked in their org, and then you could argue he might be the single most important player on their defense

hasty mesa
#

Yep

dim ledge
#

its him or warner for sure

#

Bosa is definitely...louder? in how hes percieved as a player on the field

but warner is incredibly important and like

top LB in the league

hasty mesa
#

Warner is good but Bosa forces more pressure on an offense

dim ledge

at least i think ehs LB

hasty mesa
#

Warner is probably number 1 in the league

#

Bosa I think is top 3 rusher if you wanna argue Bosa vs Myles Garrett vs Parsons

rustic ore
#

Also Watt in there

hasty mesa
#

Parsons is straight up the best defensive player in this league

But yeah

Watt too

How much we thinking Parsons will get now when he eventually re-signs? I’m gonna guess 34 a year since Bosa is making 32

Tis both the benefit and most disappointing part of not having an elite QB locked up long term

Like eventually you’ll have to pay the pied piper his due but in the mean time you have enough resources available to re-sign you good/elite players long term

Today is the day. Who wins Lions or Chiefs?

rustic ore
#

I'm still leaning KC

#

Even with Jones out and Kelce probably out

hasty basin
#

Feel bad for the united fans

#

But not United itself

dawn tapir
rustic ore
#

Chiefs O-line and more importantly Mahomes are still 100%

#

He's talented enough to make scrubs look great, not to mention Detroit's D until proven otherwise is weak

#

And again, it's not like KC's D is full of slouches

dawn tapir
#

true but Mahomes' recievers are a question mark right?

rustic ore
#

But they're very fast, you give him time eventually he's gonna find someone

#

Plus their top 2 RBs are 100%

#

And it's a home game, fans are gonna be loud

dim kettle
#

I also think even with Keice out I still have questions about the talent in the Lions secondary even with the added pieces of C. J. Gardner-Johnson and Cameron Sutton. We'll see how it goes.

rustic ore
#

There are levels to this, KC is there, I'm not convinced Detroit is

dim kettle
#

It's gonna be a close game. But I think the Chiefs win by at least 3 points or less.

dawn tapir
#

who do you think wins the MVP this year?

rustic ore
#

Mahomes

sweet tree
#

are Thursday games still on twitch

rustic ore
#

This one should be on NBC

dim kettle
#

Mahomes is always gonna be in the discussion. But who knows, Jalen Hurts might be one to look at too.

dawn tapir
#

i have a feeling that Herbert or Lamar could be in the conversation as well. maybe Rodgers plays in mvp form again too.

dim kettle
#

Herbert too. Hopefully since he isn't gonna be forced to play like Jimmy G anymore.

celest zephyr
#

Mvp? Joe burrow

dim kettle
#

There was a part of me that wanted to place the Chargers as winning the AFC West this year. But sorry, I don't like Brandon Staley enough to trust them to live up to their talent.

dawn tapir
#

Or perhaps someone new wins it. Imagine if Jared Goff or Geno Smith won it lol. Anything can happen

celest zephyr
#

Wouldn’t be shocked if they didn’t even make the playoffs this year

dim kettle
#

I love that people are now comparing Geno Smith to Rich Gannon type of resurgence at an older age type of QB. I mean, Rich Gannon won MVP one year. Who knows.

dawn tapir
#

oh yeah Trevor Lawrence is a small possibility to win it too. the AFC is stacked in QB talent

dim kettle
#

Gotta see with the Jags I think T-Law is showing signs that he's really the dude. But the Jags only won 9 games last year. Lot to be seen with the Jags this year. But they're likely winning the AFC South unless the Titans say otherwise.

dawn tapir
#

do you trust tannehill to stay healthy all season tho who is his backup again? will levis or that malik willis

rustic ore
#

Levis

dim kettle
#

To be honest, the Titans made a lot of moves this year that scream a rebuild is secretly happening in the background. But it's often forgotten they basically had the AFC South title in the palm of their hands at 7-3 before shitting their pants.

#

Will say, I'm glad the Bucs avoided Levis. But, I think Levis can be good. Maybe at a Matthew Stafford level QB if things work out.

dawn tapir
#

the texans i can see still being bad or in rebuild but the colts are a big question mark overall. both have new QBs that have potential but only time will tell.

celest zephyr
#

Tbh it’s hard to say

#

Depends on how practice goes

dim kettle
#

Still don't think the Texans have enough talent yet to win many games. And the Colts you're expected to be bad for the first year of Richardson. He's a project QB.

#

Doesn't help that the talent they do have to help Richardson wants out because ownership refuses to shut their mouth.

dawn tapir
#

who do you think wins the Nfc south?

dim kettle
#

Saints.

dawn tapir
#

only if they stay healthy

dim kettle
#

Like a 9-8 Saints team.

#

Just a pathetic division.

dawn tapir
#

the panthers could surprise with their new QB

dim kettle
#

Could say the Panthers, but what is WR depth? A eh defense that the Panthers spent all of 2020 on and then spent a 1st rounder a DB the next year.

dawn tapir
#

don't see baker leading the bucs to win the division?

dim kettle
#

I don't. I don't think the running game will be much better, Baker Midfield is Baker Midfield for a reason. And I simply don't believe in Todd Bowles as a HC.

#

Will say about the Panthers, I'd rather go 7-10 and see progress out of Young than win 10 games and Young is eh.

dawn tapir
#

fair enough. and i don't think the falcons can win the division with the QB they have.

dim kettle
#

I think the Falcons bottom out this year. They're allergic to good defense and the Arthur Smith era has felt like a big waste of time. Did I also mention they drafted an RB in the top 8 of the draft? Not even top 10, top 8

dawn tapir
#

Although taylor heinicke is their backup and he might win them some games if Ridder isn't good enough.

dim kettle
#

Who knows. But they're also a team that has Pitts and London and what else?

dawn tapir
#

yea if the saints stay healthy that division is theirs. the NFC east tho is a toss-up

dim kettle
#

Falcons just have no direction rn and they're just so mid.

#

I think it will be much of the same in the NFC East. Eagles likely are gonna win with the Cowboys behind them.

dawn tapir
#

i would say eagles however it's been so long since a repeat nfc east division winner

#

and i really want the commanders to surprise people and win the division

celest zephyr
#

If it ain’t it’s the cowboys

#

Really makes zero difference to me

#

Both teams easily make the playoffs

dim kettle
#

Really, the only thing that would change that is if Danny Dimes can be even more than what he did in 2022. Because I'm gonna be real, with the cap hit he has now, he has to be better than 2022 Jones to justfy it.

dawn tapir
#

Or sam howell plays at an MVP level 🙏

dim kettle
#

I simply don't see it rn. I still think it was clown shit that Rivera went with Wentz to end the season instead of seeing what Howell can do. But he's also a 5th round pick for a reason. Lots of questionmarks.

dawn tapir
#

if the cowboys miss the playoffs this year their coach is fired for sure

dim kettle
#

It seems unlikely though with how weak the NFC is this year.

#

Lots of suprises would have to happen.

#

Now if the Bucs win 11 games, well... BUCS GAHNTA SUPER BOWL

dim kettle
#

Wouldn't that make Cleveland happy.

the browns are boom or bust this season. if Watson and his anchor of a contract doesn't work out this year then they are doomed.

#

Hell Russel Wilson was a 3rd rounder, Cousins a 4th I believe, Brady a 6th, hell Jalen Hurts was near the end of the second round

dim kettle
#

I rated Howell more than just a 5th-round pick. But how many 5th round QBs have you seen succeed in the NFL?

#

There's a reason people will say it's a suprise.

rustic mountain
#

I think you're fixating on something rather inconsequential

dawn tapir
rustic mountain
#

Draft "experts" are wrong a ton

dim kettle
#

They were also surprises.

rustic mountain
dim kettle
#

Often you don't get an elite to good QB in the draft in the later rounds. That's not my opinion that's all in the data.

rustic mountain
#

Just seems odd to fixate on that he's a 5th round pick

dim kettle
#

You gotta see with Howell.

rustic mountain
#

For sure

#

But Idk why where he was drafted would have any indication on his possible success when it's been shown I think in most drafts there is hella talent in almost any round

dawn tapir
dim kettle
#

Because it doesn't matter what position. Later rounds usually will have more quesntionmarks than answers.

rustic mountain
#

I am not saying Howell did anything to justify an earlier round

dim kettle
#

When you can't see what he is last year, it's hard to be confident in him

#

Just more questions.

rustic mountain
#

But it just seems like an odd thing to focus on

weak gull
#

Howell damn near had a 1st round grade at one point

rustic mountain
#

See I didn't even know that

weak gull
#

He only slipped cause he HAD to go back to UNC and had a tough year

#

But he showed so much promise in his year 2 he was top half of second round

#

Another purdy scenario damn near where I guy went back and fell

weak gull
#

It’s by a slim margin but it’s where a lot of the unnoticed or problem guys fall to

dim kettle
#

I had a higher grade on him than a 5th round pick. But he was still picked in the 5th round for a reason. He's got a lot to prove. I'm not shitting on him, just questions he's gotta answer.

#

But once again, maybe Ron should've started him late in the season and maybe all of us would have a better understanding of what he is coming into 2023.

#

But no, mah Carson Wentz.

Baseball will have a salary cap sooner or later. And not just the Competitive Balance Tax.

desert palm

I can’t say for sure if that will happen; but if there is a push for it by the small market owners, the MLB players will either strike or hold out.

dim kettle

They're gonna hold out. Because that's what happened with the NHL in 04.
