Which NFL teams will be much better and much worse in 2024?

[scho63]

Every year we see a big turnover in which teams make the playoffs, which teams retrench and those few shockers.

On paper, the Texans look scary with what they brought in.

The Bills look like they are in for a rough year.

Vikings look average.

I think the Steelers have a horrible year and first time in Tomlin's history they are under .500

I also think the Cowboys come back to Earth.

I'm not sold on the Commanders or Falcons like some talking heads are but I think the Jets could finally have a very good year IF and it's a big IF, Rodgers is healthy.

The Bears may finally have an offense after 30 years.

The Giants, Patriots, Panthers, Saints, Titans, Cardinals, Seahawks look like shit.

The Raiders are the Raiders but they may steal a few wins as Minshew can get hot at times.

The Broncos have a much better QB in Bo Nix but not sure what else they have.

The Chargers will be 100% better coached but they have to avoid the injury bug and they appear a little older in many places with not much depth.

Eagles will go backwards in my opinion.

Rams, Tampa Bay, Lions, Browns, Miami will be about the same.

Bengals can really improve if Burrow stays upright.

Chiefs, 49'ers and Ravens are all shoe-ins for the playoffs.

So who do you think really ascends and who do you think shits the bed in 2024?

Drake Maye throws a nice ball. They will still suck as a team.

Jacoby Brissett looks like he may have dislocated his shoulder..

Drake looks okay, in preseason. But I have no faith in their HC/OC.

The Patriots' line is going to get somebody killed and has already gotten their starter injured this evening.

It's unbelievably bad

Sign Tannehill. Trade for Stidham. Do NOT **** up Drake Maye the way the Jets did Zach Wilson.

He cannot play with this shit roster. The OL is going to ruin him

I just don't believe in the Jets even with a healthy Rodgers. He will get disinterested and distracted by the NY press and the fraud coach wont have an answer. Buffalo is still the king of that division unless Finns find some D.

I still think it will come down to KC and the Gals to represent the AFC

What's the story on Richardson and the Colts? He was hurt early last year...so they could see a possible uptick.

Dont follow other teams but haven't seem them mentioned...hope they are improved enough to grab a win vs. the Texans.

Physically, he looks great. Threw some nice zippy, accurate passes to different levels, and looked plenty strong while he was at it.

I did wonder at his decision-making a couple times, but without looking at the A-22, I can't be sure what the safeties were doing at the time.

If he can stay healthy, IND could be fun to watch.

Jaguars win the AFC South if Lawrence is healthy

[scho63]

I'm not sure why I'm so interested but I really want to see what Baker Mayfield does this year.

Here is what Vegas and online sports books have for each team's estimated win totals.

Really easy question on who will be better. You have 2 teams that were actually really good outside of having generationally bad qb play. Jets had an elite defense until they mailed it in. The falcons might have had the worst qb depth chart in decades. And now both of those teams have decent veterans. Cousins isn’t elite but they’re gonna do damage in a terrible division

Cardinals will never scare me as long as Kyler is there. Chargers may be interesting because harbaugh will install a running game. But I feel like people are really downplaying how Herbert isn’t close to 100%. Bears definitely have potential given Caleb Williams but it isn’t nearly the slam dunk the first 2 teams are.

I think he’s looked good this preseason. He’s going to have some rough moments throwing the ball but his accuracy seems to have gotten somewhat better.

The Colts didn’t run him at all this preseason. They kept him purely in the pocket, which contributed to some of his issues.

That won’t happen in the regular season.

I think AR will be very good, if he can stay healthy. That’s the biggest issue. He has decent weapons and a good oline.

The Packers will have a worst season overall. It’s possible they will have the same record though and miss the playoffs given they were only 9-8. This is a team that was 6-8 at one point last season. They got those final three wins beating three of the worst teams in the Vikings, Panthers, and Bears. I am not nearly as big a believer in them as many seem to be.

I think Pittsburgh is going to be terrible. They do not have a quarterback or an OL. I think Tomlin has his first losing season in his coaching career. IMO they finish no better than 7 -10.
