By that I mean in division Your top 4 are for sure the order and the bottom 4 are debatable but honestly I’d probably have them about the same with the nfc west above the afc south only because I could legitimately see SF, SEA and LAR making the playoffs and the cardinals pulling the bottom down on that division as probably the worst team in football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickett may yet get better only time will tell. Allen Pinkett retired along time ago and was a RB. Funny if you google him, the first 3 pics of him are him running against the Bills. Pickett has two good WR in Pickens and Johnson along with a very reliable TE in Friermuth. If their OL holds up, Pickett could make a transition to a good QB in year 2. Steelers have a good defense and have added more in the draft. However, I am not sure if they have the necessary firepower to overpower the Bengals who are a very balanced team with a great QB 31 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: Josh Rosen had 11/14 and 10....

He's not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iinii Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 9 hours ago, Mr. WEO said: No way AFCN over AFCE. Come on. IF Pinkett...and IF Watson...and IF Jackson. Pinkett is a low voltage turnover machine (7 passing TD in 12 games, 9 INTs, 4 fumbles). Watson has played 6 (bad) games since 2020. He's had one above average season in his career. Most overrated QB in the NFL right now. Jackson has played 24 games in the last 2 years and chose to watch his team lose form the sidelines in the playoffs. Likely the same this year. Not so many "ifs" in the AFCE. Really? Seems like an iffy situation there too. If Tua’s brain can stay unscrambled. If Mac Jones has made serious strides. If a 40 y/o Rodgers can stay clean behind that line. These divisions are going to cannibalize themselves to a large degree. The big factor for me is the AFCN plays the NFCW and AFCS, which looks softer than the AFCE’s slate of NFCE and AFCW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickett started poorly as a rookie but showed considerable progress late in the season. He has looked good in his limited play in preseason (and not just against the Bills). He doesn't have to be Josh Allen to be a good/excellent NFL QB for Mike Tomlin's Steelers. 12 hours ago, iinii said: Really? Seems like an iffy situation there too.

I think that the Ravens and Steelers are closer to the Bengals than the Jets and Fins are to the Bills, particularly because of Harbaugh and Tomlin. If Watson resurrects his early form, Cleveland can become a formidable force in the league, capable of beating any team because their D is damn good. NE doesn't have nearly the talent that the Brown have. 42 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: NE isn't in the picture.

The Patriots are always "in the picture" with Belichick as HC, especially in divisional games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half this board was ready to move on from Allen after season 1. All I hope is he beats the Browns and the Browns miss the playoffs. The delusion on Cleveland radio is epic. I cant wait for Watson to suck and this town I work in melts down. 21 hours ago, ganesh said: Pickett has two good WR in Pickens and Johnson along with a very reliable TE in Friermuth.

I agree they will battle Ravens for second place at best in taht division. I routinely underestimate the Ravens, but they look like an organization taht needs sweeping change. Just hope Browns finish last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickett didn't get much better. Check out his stats. He was all over the place. And that Steelers O isn't exactly loaded. It's decent. 55 minutes ago, Ethan in Cleveland said: Lol.

My point was that it is more likely that Pickett turns out like Rosen than Allen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
