The offense should have every club in the bag this year, and some of them are brand new clubs that teams will have to learn how to counter on the fly. The defense has good depth and no glaring holes.
Yeah, I do kinda wonder if we were robbed of that in 2020. [Reply]

How are the 49ers not a consensus pick?
Their slate of offensive weapons continues to be among the best in NFL history, and Purdy is a smart QB who never plays outside himself, and dueled the GOAT to an overtime Super Bowl. A very good defense propped up by two Hall of Fame talents and surrounded by Pro Bowl calibers players.
I think the Bengals are closer to us than anybody is to the 49ers in the NFC.
Right now, if you asked me (which, to be clear, absolutely nobody is), the Super Bowl will be a rematch of last year's. I don't know who wins right now, as it's September. But the 49ers seem like clear, clear favorites to get to the Super Bowl. [Reply]
The Bengals defense was just so bad last year, I don't know that they really addressed the problems there well enough to get thru the gauntlet of the AFCN.
The 9ers are probably the favorite in the NFC. [Reply]
Yeah, it's weird. I keep seeing the Bengals as a popular SB pick and possible #1 seed.
Not sure how anyone sees them finishing ahead of Baltimore. And when Lamar is healthy, Ravens have typically dominated that matchup. What is Lamar against Burrow? 5-1?
Ravens should be the prohibitive favorite in the AFC North, which make the Bengals a WC pick at best. [Reply]
Kollman picked the chiefs as well as EJ , you could tell it broke them a little inside, we broke most of the media last but there are a few holdouts theses are guys Pat will crush this year. [Reply]
[QUOTE=Direckshun;17661003]How are the 49ers not a consensus pick?
-Deeclining Samuel
-Not a young team, old DLine w/ perpetually injured Bosa
-JAG LT
-McCaffrey healthy in January two yrs in a row?
I think it's probable that due to health/age, they look tired come playoffs, and a younger, hungrier Lions, Packers team upset them. Maybe it's wishful thinkings, as America would revolt if it was Chiefs vs Niners again. [Reply]

Lions seems like a better, younger version of that team tbh. They just have so much young talent.
Also think Jordan Love proves he’s the best QB in the NFC this year.

Peter Shrager rates Aaron Rodgers way to ••••ing high. He picked him to lose to the Chiefs in the Sb a couple of years ago and he picked him for the first seed in the playoffs this year. I don’t see the jets sniffing the playoffs this season. [Reply]
