I can't say I trust them, but I can't argue against their inclusion.
They got rid of Brian Schottenheimer so I do think they have a coaching wild card. Their defense isnt great, though, but defense seems to fluctuate more than offense so I could see Seattle winning it all.

Imo, there are more teams in the NFC that can win the Super Bowl than in the AFC.

Interesting? Who do you see as SB contenders from each conference?

Will anyone win this conference this year? I realize it's only just over two games into preseason but look at all those 0s.

Dude, its PRESEASON. For the most part the NFCE has held its own with starters on the field, now with practice squad players and grocery baggers it hasn't looked good at all.

Well, teams need to have a top 10 roster, a top 15 QB, a top 15 defense, and a top 15 coaching staff.

How many teams in the AFC have that? Chiefs, Bills, Browns, Ravens. Thats kinda it.

I'm pretty sure I said "it's only just over two games into the preseason"?
I just don't recall so many teams not having won a game or so many with just one win in a conference. We likely won't learn much more thru the rest of week 3, since most teams will play a lot of guys who aren't going to be on the 53 man roster.

Well I'd throw NE and Pit in there.

That's seven.

What 8+ do you see from the NFC?

NE is not a SB contender to this point on the simple fact they had so many changes to the roster they are an unknown, also unknown at the QB position. Cam is inconsistent and Mac is a rookie.

PIT has a very weak OL, they have the offense and defense to compete but Big Ben is still a question mark with his age and injury history.

NE minus last year has been a contender for two decades. Many times they proved all the doubters wrong as they went onto win the SB. NE had one of the best offseasons ever. They have BB and staff. The only question, and it is a big one is QB. But they have enough talent that a game manager could ride their coat tails to the big game.

Big Ben is always a question. If he has solid play all season they can contend.

What about NFC?

I saw the two games part, but to even think preseason records at the end of preseason is an issue is ridiculous. Preseason records don't mean squat, how the starters played does. Now I can't speak too much on the rest of the NFC but starters in the East have all been OK for the most part.

Sure, they had Tom Brady.

NFC - Packers, Bucs, Rams, Seahawks, 49ers

Seattle and GB will always be contenders as long as they have RW and Rodgers unless things fall apart. The Rams have the roster but I want to see how Stafford plays. Same thing with Niners, they have the roster but their future is probably the brightest of all NFC contenders imo

Josh Allen looked very good in last preseason game vs Packers. Packers did not play any starters (offense or defense)... but still made very good throws very much on target. Beauty 28 yard TD pass on opening drive.

2nd year WR Gabriel Davis impressed as well for Bills... see him on some sleeper lists for fantasy football. May move him up my draft board as sleeper in later rounds.... Bills have a lot of WRs however... Diggs, Sanders and Beasley.

That's the guy the genius coach wanted to keep instead of Brady. I figured once he was injured after just 6 Q's , Bill would have bought a clue. Kraft nixes the moves, and Pats go to 3 more SB's and win 2
