Not going to go with a Superbowl prediction just yet but I'm going to have a stab at the Division winners for 2022 off the top of my head. Feel free to argue:

AFC East - Buffalo Bills

AFC North - Baltimore Ravens

AFC South - Indianapolis Colts

AFC West - LA Chargers

NFC East - Philadelphia Eagles

NFC North - Green Bay Packers

NFC South - Tampa Bay Buccaneers

NFC West - LA Rams

 

Quick notes:

- Colts upgrade at QB, yes he's getting on but still the best QB in that division.

- AFC West is the stacked division. I wouldn't be surprised if they all finish over .500. Giving the Chargers the edge, across the board that is a brilliant roster with few weaknesses but it could be anyone's.

- Bruce Arians reckon Brady's passing is better than ever in training camp. Prepare for some big numbers

- If someone with a name that isn't Aaron Donald is going to win defensive player of the year I'm tipping Micah Parsons to give it a good shake.

Big game to start with this morning with last year's champs the Rams taking on the Josh Allen Bills. Probably rude not to throw on a same game multi.

Watt, Bosa or Parsons can win the DPOY but if the true goat AD99 Is healthy then first team all pro and DPOY are his.

Ive never seen anyone better. On both sides of the ball.

AFC west - Chargers, chiefs WC

        North - Bengals

        South - Colts, Titans WC

        East - Bills, Dolphins WC

 

NFC west - Rams 

        North - Packers, Vikings WC

        South - Tampa, Falcons WC

        East - Eagles, Washington WC
 

my big outsiders are Falcons and the Jets. Could see the Jets doing pretty good this year and push for a WC spot

Not far off really. His work rate and willingness to get improve is unsurpassed. At very least the Jerry Rice of defensive players for me.

Not a super dedicated NFL fan but after decades of mediocrity, I’ve come to love watching my Buffalo Bills the last few season. Josh Allen is an absolute freak and pleasure to watch. Defence is looking better this season too.

That's a great way to start the season ... a big victory at the Superbowl winning Rams

Gorgoroth (here on this thread) will be none too happy and we'll get the summary at what happened soon enough!

Allen is a gun player but he made a name for himself big time last year so no surprise there

Fun team to watch Viper, looking forward to checking out the highlights on this one. 

Nailed my multi by the look of it! Kupp anytime touchdown and Higbee over 38 yards (he had 39) plus a few other overs for receiving yards.

First half thoughts

Oline needs work.

Ramsey isn’t recovered from

Surgeries

Run with Henderson looks good.

Kupp ♥️♥️♥️

No targets for Allen Robinson has been a massive surprise. 

Not targeting the rookie safety’s and corner, no deep throws

 

Second half

Why the hell did he run that back from

The opening kick off??? Cut his [censored]!

 

Over rushing on 3rd down so Allen gets the 12 yards. Dumb.

First drive and missed tackles all over the shop.

Gee they are running this ball so well.

Stafford to Kupp is something to behold

 

I didn’t like it last year and don’t this year. Put Ramsey on the best.

 

Haven’t made them punt and we are 2 mins into the 4th qtr

Second pick by Stafford was a putrid throw. 

Ramsey got torched by Diggs. I reckon Ramsey believes he is unbeatable and tries to go for the ball instead of just beating his man. As bad coverage as I’ve seen by him tonight.

 

We look very average, if it’s no Kupp it’s nothing. Need OBJ and a pass rusher.

Our D over all have been decent but still given up 31 points. The Bills look so good, I had money on Rams Bills SB last year and I tell you what they will make it this year if they stay healthy.

Ravens, Colts, KC

AFC
East - bills
North - ravens
South - Colts
West - Chiefs
WC - Bengals, Chargers, Raiders
 

NFC
East - cowboys
North - packers
South - Bucs
West - 49ers
WC - Eagles, Vikings, Rams

Wow there’s a huge discrepancy between the afc and nfc. I considered Denver, Miami, Patriots, Steelers, Browns, Titans all for playoff chances. That’s 13 of 16 teams! In the NFC it’s probably 9 teams that feel they’re playoff quality and 7 more who’d probably take an 8-9 season as a win.

Bills over Packers in the SB.

I'm still trying to catch up ... listening in to all the games tomorrow and then 5-6 hours of Sportscenter afterwards should fill my brain with lots of info

Monday for me is NFL day with a bit of work thrown in when time permits!! (I do work Saturday's though)

There's big raps on the Colts & Cowboys but if Tampa start off well, the talk will be about Brady.  The Bucs are 2nd favourites to win the SB (behind the Bills)

Then it's KC, Packers (?), Chargers, Rams, 49ers, Denver, Ravens & Dallas

Steelers stop them at the one yard line, then Harris gets injured on first run, throw on second!

instead of giving the ball back to Bengals with 50s and no time outs the give it back with 1:36 and timeouts… wow

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
