SF for sure

Iggles - dumping top talent 2 seasons straight

Denver - Peyton can't last much longer

 

Cheaters are Tarnished and the refs have to be leery of then I hope

Was Cleveland good enough to actually take a step back?

i think Hoyer for McCown is a step back. We shall see. And I don't love Hoyer, but I think he's a better QB than McCown. Especially now that their OL will be back at full strength and presumably their running game.

 

They also let Buster Skrine, a starting CB, and pass rusher Jabaal Sheard, as well as Jordan Cameron, leave in FA. I am not sure they will be adequately replaced. Josh Gordon will be going from playing in 5 games last year to 0 this year. Tashaun Gipson is squawking about signing his RFA tender, who knows if he will pull a Byrd and sit out with a boo boo

I think Cleveland has a real shot at getting next year's number one pick. Edited by frogger

1. SF - and it's not even close

Others that have had notable net losses (in no particular order):

Pittsburgh

Baltimore

New Orleans

Denver (thanks to losing their LT)

Detroit

Cleveland (if Josh Gordon's suspension is included)

 

Here is a link for some team by team info:

1. SF for sure, they went from one of the NFC favorites to a team that probably won't make the playoffs.

 

2. I think NO has been moving in the wrong direction the last couple of years as well. Some people picked them to win the Super Bowl before last year and we saw how that turned out.

 

3. Philly either took a big step back or a big leap forward, nobody understands what the heck Chip is doing but maybe that's because he is a genius and we just haven't seen the results yet.

 

4. I think Peyton is playing his last season in Denver. They just don't have the talent to win for him so they will need to start over after this.

 

5. And lastly, the team with the least amount of talent in the AFC East, the Super Bowl Champion* Patriots****. Their defense looks terrible this year, especially their secondary

SF is the clear #1

New England

Philly

Cleveland

Detroit

 

Last one was tough to choose. Detroit lost Suh and Fairley, which I think is hugh. Ngata can't replace both and is older. Their run defense will suffer. Stafford needs a reliable defense.

 

Philly had some lateral moves or upgrades in some areas, but it comes down to Bradford mostly. If he works in Chip's system, they will be the same.

I see a lot of New Orleans on here. I actually think that they are going in the other direction. Their defense was historically bad and they added a few pieces (plus Dennis Allen). They will improve.

 

The offense improved as well IMO. The line added a Pro Bowler (Unger) & a 1st (Peat). They will be a great unit (at least should be). They will be able to pound it with Ingram and then get the ball to Spiller and Cooks in space. If Cooks stays healthy he catches 100+ balls this year. They have some other young guys that are talented.

 

Remember this team had a losing record a year ago. I do not see the record worse than last year (if healthy). All that they lost was Graham and to be honest he did not have a very good year by his standards.

1 .Patriots - loss of Brady, lack of drive due to Superbowl win and weak secondary.

2. San Francisco - lost to many people including the coach.

3. Dallas- Weak Defense and loss of Demarco Murray.

4. Denver - Peyton on last leg and loss of LT will be felt, by Manning. LOL

5. Cinny- Loss to Buffalo costs them last playoff spot.

They got the Legend. Legend of Kiko that is.

 

Well, and Murray, though time will tell if that really gets them more than they had with Shady.

To me they have a net drain of talent since Chip arrived. If it were the Bills people would be calling us a dumpster fire.
