Detroit: our biggest challenge?
Pro football focus has ranked Detroit as having the most players under 25 in the top 25 with 5. Sewell, Hutchinson, St Brown, Laporta, and Gibbs. Thank goodness they didn’t throw in a bit of extra draft capital When they traded up for Williams and then they might’ve picked Wilson.

They should have been our opponents in last year’s Super Bowl and this year. I think they will be. They won’t have Reynolds whose 2 drops cost them the game against San Francisco. and Williams might even come into his own this year. if not free agent Donovan peoples- Jones will probably be an improvement over Reynolds.

They had a great draft this year and should have improved their weakness at DB with their top two pics. The Canadian University of British Columbia tackle they got at round four may also end up surprising long-term. Davenport from the Vikings and Reader from the Bengals should improve their DL.

They also seem to have locked in most of their top players so they will be a threat, not only this year, but for several years to come.m

Their coach seems like a dumber version of Brandon Staley.... and we all know how Roster Champions vs Mahomes have done in years past, especially if the HC is a dumbass.

For any NFC team, I'd take the field over the team to make it to the SB.

For the AFC, I'd take the Chiefs over the field.

I definitely agree. Campbell made some very dumb calls and he needs to stop losing them games. But I think he’s a far better coach than Staley. He did take Detroit from a doormat team to a contender, allbeit of course with good roster building by the GM.

I definitely agree with many comments that there are other potential Super Bowl teams in the NFC and Detroit is by no means a shoe in. But assuming Campbell doesn’t blow it again I think it will be Detroit’s turn this year because I think they will have improved more than Green Bay or San Francisco. It’s interesting that no one put Philadelphia into the mix of teams we might face. I think they need to be added to the list as again they have had a great draft and improved, presumably they will have fixed the coordinator problems they had last year and also whatever it was that caused their meltdown.

It looks like most see San Francisco returning to the Super Bowl and that is certainly possible and they will probably have an easier time in their division than Detroit so will probably get home field if the two teams play in the championship game for the NFC. But I think Detroit will win it this year

The comment that we have to get through our own AFC first is absolutely right and I’ll probably post something in the next couple days about who I think our challengers are there.

This is premature, but I’m hoping to put something up on the board to get some football talk in this doldrums part of the year.

No, it's still the 9ers in the NFC. Lions do have a really good roster though.

GB is kind of a dark horse if their QB plays like he did down the stretch last year.

9ers barely scrapped by both GB and Det in the playoffs. Literally fluke plays had to go SFs way for them to beat Det in the NFC championship game.

And a fluke play could have been the reason they lost the SB. SF has been the most consistent team in the NFC since Shanahan got there. KC is the only reason that franchise doesn't have 7 Lombardi trophies.

The Lions may struggle to even win their own division this year. Probably the favorites, but Green Bay is an expected playoff team. Bears and Vikings could both be tough, and in another year or so if their QBs hit that division could be a 4-headed monster.

Agree they should be a very good NFL team, but it's hard to get to the Super Bowl even when you are. Dan Campbell really blew it last year in the NFCCG. Such a golden opportunity missed.

Let's worry about the AFC first. In the AFC, it's the Bengals, Bills, ravens, and maybe the Jets if they can put it together. Don't get me wrong, we can take care of all these teams but right now these are the ones that are the biggest test.

The AFC is gonna be a gauntlet again.

The Colts, if Richardson stays healthy, have a really good roster. The Texans may take a bit of a step back but they're gonna be really dynamic.

The AFC North is gonna be a bitch of a division and the Bills will be good.

Richardson is a beast but we still don't know if he can make it happen down the field.

Houston is improved, but their schedule is BRUTAL.
