Lost my insider account for some reason. To someone who has it, can you copy and paste the article on here? thanks!

Most improved team I think will be the Texans.  If they can get a good head coach and a solid QB in the draft, they'll be set.  Their defense will have Cushing back, they have a decent/solid OL, they have good weapons in Andre, DeAndre, and Owen Daniels.  Hopefully Arian Foster can come back healthy.  They could push for a playoff spot and pull a big turnaround like our Colts and the Chiefs

That one is iffy.  If Rodgers can stay healthy, the Pack will win the division.  Trestman can develop QBs and has a QB-friendly system, so the Bears' offense should be fine.  If the Bears can fix their defense, they'll be contending for a wild card spot.  That leaves Detroit to compete with 2 or 3 NFC West teams, the Panthers/Saints, and the Bears for two wildcard spots

Good luck fixing that OLD defense.

Yeah, but this is the one sport where coaching can make an enormous difference, and the Lions seem to lack consistency and discipline more than talent.

It's my opinion that we should be one of the top 3 or 4 favorites to win the Super Bowl next year. Luck will have two full seasons under his belt. Getting back Wayne, Allen, Ballard, Thomas, etc. I expect Da'Rick to be a beast next year. Bring in a few free agents on D, And a center not named Satele, and we should be a very dangerous team. I have faith in T-Rich too and expect him to be much improved behind a revamped Offensive line.

Yeah, they need a lot of help on defense

True, they're very talented.  A good coach could help put them in a position for the divisional crown

Colts were mentioned as #10, along with SD, KC, Arizona, NYJ, Detroit, and St. Louis. Basically said the last spot is a crap shoot. Seahawks were first with pretty much the rest of the playoff teams in between.

 

i disagree with the chiefs (they will have a tougher schedule and haven't beat many of the better teams, 8-9 wins) and jets (qb problems, lucky to have 8 wins).

Yeah...in general it was a pretty weak article. Basically saying that every playoff team this year will be in a position to be good next year, and there are a handfull of teams that could get into the playoffs who missed this year.

      2025 Mock Draft

      By tweezy32 · Posted

      I'm all for doubling down and going EDGE in the 1st again. Just got to make sure we get the right one. Depending on where we draft, I'm okay with trading up a couple of picks to snatch the better pass rusher of the bunch. Since there will be a good amount of rushers, I hear, let's go get the better one. I can also see the draft being the opposite as this years. Most teams will go defense now in this draft, and very good offensive players fall. I think we are perfect on offense, that's why I'm okay with trading up to get the guy we need on defense.

      IMHO , its all about perspective   If you treat Pierce as WR1, you will be disappointed   If you treat Pierce as a solid contributor, you will be pleased   - The man can block, maybe the best blocking WR on this team - The man has speed - The man can rotate in with our other WRs   I do believe that AD Mitchell will take over as a starting outside WR   The reality is, 17 games is a LONG season,    Pittman and AD Mitchell will be "fresher" for the end of the game as they are rotated in and out   The odds say that there will be injuries, and we could see Pierce be a starter on either side   I for one, WANT to keep Pierce thru his rookie deal (We will see after that)

      Zach Moss is no RB1.  If he showed signs he was the Bills wouldn’t have traded him for Hines who also is no RB1.  Moss is a RB 2.  A good one too.  Fortunately for him a season playing behind the Colts OL worked out favorably for him. Moss became available because we have an RB1 and the Bengals jumped at the chance to fill a hole in their lineup and Moss can do that like he did for the Colts when Taylor wasn’t available.  He is not a back teams have to worry about like they have to do for Taylor.  Every team needs an RB1.  He was the Bills RB1 for a short time and shipped off to the Colts for Hines.  And they drafted him.  He certainly belongs on a NFL roster.  I wish he stayed to back up Taylor.  But money and opportunity always talks as it should.  I worry about our RB position if something happens to Taylor for a long period.  I think we should be looking for a proven player who would be that true backup you can rely on behind Taylor.  Right now that backup position is a position that concerns me.   The other being starting FS.
