Big Blitz Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 In the worst division in the NFL. They play the NFC South - it’s probably 2nd worse. Toughest games: Week 2 vs Chiefs at home Week 5 at Bills in London Week 10 vs 49ers at home Week 13 vs Bengals at home Week 15 vs Ravens at home Their toughest games are at home and then in London where they’ll already be waiting for us. I see 3-4 losses at worst on that schedule. Year 2 under Pederson. Lawrence and the O should only be better. Their defense is better. The other AFC Divisions will beat up on each other and each plays a tougher NFC Division. Last year mission 1 seed was clearly the objective. I think with how things will unfold this year it’s important the fans (and team) truly go one game at a time and prioritize health and getting hot at playoff time. Obviously want to win every game, but in no way should we be fretting over seeding. JUST GET IN. 2 2 Quote
John from Riverside Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 I feel like they definitely have an up-and-coming team And I think we would’ve beaten the socks off them last year in the playoffs 1 8 Quote
mjt328 Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 Maybe not the #1 seed, but that division is probably a guarantee. I can't recall ever seeing a single division with THREE rookie quarterbacks likely to play the majority of the season. 1 1 Quote
DCofNC Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 I certainly wouldn’t say they are a lock, they barely made the playoffs last year. They are a team worth watching though. Lawrence has to make a pretty big leap for them to be considered real contenders, he has the ability, just has to do it. Barring injury, the one seed goes through KC and Cinci. Both teams are very talented and though their divisions look tough(er) on paper, I don’t see anything for either one to be scared of. Whoever comes out of the East will be battle tested and I don’t see anyone in serious contention for a #1 seed because they all get to beat on each other. I thought the West would make the #1 tough for KC last year and they proved me wrong, so who knows. My feeling is the playoffs will look pretty similar to last year. 1 Quote
ChronicAndKnuckles Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 Trevor Lawrence is the real deal and that defense is extremely underrated. I don’t think they’ll get the 1 seed though, but will certainly be a top 4 team. 1 Quote
Gregg Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 Unless injuries hit, they are a lock to win the division but as far as the #1 seed that remains to be seen. KC always seems to find a way to get it. Teams like the Bills and Bengals are in very tough divisions and will probably have to many losses to get the #1 seed. The North especially is a bloodbath as all 4 teams hate each other making for some great rivalries. 2 Quote
BuffaloBillyG Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 They are the best team on paper in that division. But it's a long season and a lot happens over the course eof the year. While they may very well be the odds on favorite for the Division championship I think the Texans will be improved under Ryans. I think the Titans will be 7-10/8-9 type team that could steal a win. It will be interesting to see how the young Jags team faces being favorites and handle expectations over last year when they had none. 1 Quote
Mark Vader Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 A lock? Let's wait and see on that. The Jaguars still have more to prove, although they cannot be taken lightly anymore. 1 1 Quote
NewEra Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 Are they a lock for the one seed? A “lock”? 🤦🏻♂️ 1 1 3 Quote
Warriorspikes51 Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 KC is the 1 seed until someone takes it from them and clinches 4 1 Quote
MJS Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 They are the Jaguars. They won 9 games last year. They are a relatively average team, maybe slightly above average, until they prove otherwise. Some of these teams you just have to see it before you can believe in them. Like the Broncos. Everyone thought they would be awesome, and they stunk it up. Quote

MPL Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 Guys, the Jets and Dolphins have both already won the Super Bowl this year. There's no point in even playing the season. 4 1 1 Quote

Beast Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 Everyone thought the AFC west was the toughest division heading into last season. How’d that turn out? 1 Quote
without a drought Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 I think they are a 7 point favorite in a game this season. Does that make them a lock in that one? Quote
