by Teddy_66630 | 4 years ago | 0 Comments

AFC North
 
Ravens- Typcally one of the tougher opponents on the schedule, but have struggled out the gate, at least based on record. The eye test still show a top team, but a big late season push will be needed to at least secure a wildcard spot.  Will lamar Jackson take the reigns and put the team on his back?   Grade-B
 
Bengals- Not many people can truthfully speak on this since their stream is never up. The bengals on paper appear to be headed for another lottery pick, and hopefully can continue to build through the draft. Grade-D
 
Steelers- Not the flashiest team around, but another tough opponent that shouldn't be taken fro granted. Plays intelligent football, and with Mr. 30/30 running the offense, the Steelers look to secure a wildcard spot within a tough AFC...Grade-B
 
Browns- The most vocal team in the league, makes his presence known on the field, and publically. His Motto is "Send 8 at all times" it he could start defensive ends at cornerback he would. Relies heavily on old school smash mouth football, which complements their lockdown defense nicely. If the browns stay conmsistent and finish games, they could be headed for a deep playoff push. Grade- A-
 
 
AFC South
 
Jaguars- The Jaguars have assembled the most talented roster in NRG.. on paper at least. This team has drafted strong, made smart trades, and maintained their finances nicely while doing so. At times they look like the most dominant team in the league, and other times they look lost on the field. They may be a stat and ratings juggernaut, but they will need to play smart and apply real football to their game plan to make a real super bowl run, especially in a super tough AFC south...Grade-A-
 
Texans- The reigning super champs are looking to repeat, and are playing great, but not as dominant as usual. Some may say they are still hungover from last years success. They traded away and offensive superstar, but replaced him with multiple defensive stars. A slow paced team with a strong defense, look to make another deep run. Can their patience be the key to over running impatient teams....
Grade-A
 
 
Colts- The NRG Felon, seems to enjoy NRG prison more then he does playing the game. A lost season for the colts, in one of the toughest divisions in NRG. Grade D
 
 
Titans-After accruing a franchise quarterback, and elite playmaker in Odell Beckham Jr, the titans appear to be back in their bag, and contending for a playoff spot. They play in super tough division, and conference, where 11 wins may fall short of a playoff spot. They will need to fight hard, and win important division games in order to secure a division lead, or at least a wildcard spot. Can Porn star Jimmy, and Odell develop chemistry, and run this league? Grade B+
 
 
 
 
AFC East-
 
Patriots - Cover 4, haven't recovered since Tom Brady left them. Grade D
 
Jets - A poorly run organization that cant seem to develop their youth. They have enough talent to compete, but at 0-7, they seemed poised to contend for the number one pick. Grade F
 
Doplhins - Had a strong start to the season, then lost a few games. Many teams are trying to figure out if they are real, or pretend. Only time will tell if the dolphins are real, but with such a weak division, they appear destined for a playoff appearance Grade - C+
 
Bills - The bills need to fire their offensive coordination, as they have struggled to develop very promising prospects. They cant develop and give up on players very early. They gave up on josh allen, who has flourished in Jacksonville, and gave up on young Todd Jacobs who is making strides in Atlanta. They decided to go with senior citizen Matt Ryan, who still cant get the job done. Their defense keeps them in the game, but without offensive scores, they simply cant contend. Grade C
 
 
 
AFC West-
 
Broncos- One juke away from a super appearance,  a yearly lock for the playoffs, and a tough smart opponent, has appeared flustered and disoriented out the gate. Although his record looks a lot worse then they have played. The broncos have the talent and the skill to recover, but already in a massive hole, it will be a battle to secure a wildcard spot.  Grade- b-
 
 
Los Angeles Chargers - Another guy from the mut world who must constantly bite his tongue and restrict his play to abide by the rules. Commonly references other leagues, and wishes he had more pass rush. Loves to bait others with the idea of trading young studs Bosa, and derwin but its all a smoke screen. A strong defense will keep them in games, but lack offense since year one, continues to hold this team back from its true potential. Grade b-
 
KC Chiefs- A top organization in NRG, a proven winner with the Jags, and has the reigns of arguably the most fire power in NRG. They always show up to play, and even in a down game they still drop 30. As their defense continues to develop, the harder it becomes to take them down. They seemed poised for a deep playoff run, and if young rookie Helaire can keep developing, this offense has sky high potential. Grade A+
 
 
Raiders- They have the same or near the same record as some users in the league, and they are a perennial Force loss.
Grade- F
 
 
 
NFC-North
 
Green Bay Packers- The packers have seemingly shifted out of their win now window, Aaron's Rodgers departed, the salary cap finally caught up with them, and young studs wanted a massive payday. After major offseason moves, they have draft capital, and finaly some cap space to build this team again. May be a year or so away from being a serious contender, but they have a foundation.  ...Grade C+
 
 
Chicago Bears- After cutting trubisky, and going bankrupt, the bears declared a full rebuild, and traded away most of their productive players. They acquired enough draf capital to build a young foundation. They still are a few years away,  they need to really make the picks count, and need to clear their cap penalty before they can finally build. They are at least 2-3 seasons away from contending in their own division again. Grade F
 
Vikings- Currenlty on a pilgrimage to find himself and become one with the deep post. League beware of his waited return. Grade D-
 
Lions- A lot of moves and roster seemingly headed for youth, made a surprise move for and older veteran cornerback in Gilmore. Does this move signify a win now team? A rebuilding team trading away youth, and taking on a big contract seems rather counter productive. Are the lions a sleeping giant, or another guy chasing a player that will set them back. Grade C
 
 
 
 
NFC South
 
Panthers- Irrelveant, still waiting for a user to last for the long haul. haven't recovered since Mikey glitched them.  Grade F
 
Saints- One of the most talented rosters for the last three seasons continues to struggle to contend. Could be their difficulty with finding a face of the franchise.. after giving up on brees, and josh allen in a short period of time. Their players can not find chemistry with constant personal changes. Can Gardner minshew change the culture of this team,      And continue to put up numbers like he did in Jacksonville. Will minshew prove to be more then a system QB? Grade C+
 
 
Falcons- a year one bust that failed to make noise, came out of nowhere year 2 and posted a silent but deadly regular season record. Many believed that their record was a direct result of luck, and easy schedule. Unfortunely after suffering a rough playoff loss, they attempted to clean house, and have went back to bus status. Julios aging legs, a mistake prone Qb, and a Swiss cheese defense appears to be on their way to a lottery pick. Grade C-
 
 
Bucs- Currently running the NFC, with their assortment of weapons they have an advantage on most secondary's. Their have been little challenges for them thus far and the real challenge will be when they take on the giants, an potentially make the playoffs, especially considering their weak division. Can they cancel out the noise, and stay cool under pressure and maintain their lead in the NFC. Grade B +
 
 
 
 
 
 
NFC East
 
 
Cowboys- Cowboys - A fellow mut man, who occasionally forgets when to put away the mut cheese, and switch to sim style play. The man behind the infamous "Scum Kick'. With a stacked roster, strong defense, and heavy running attack, the cowboys appear poised for another playoff run. "You can take the man out of mut, but cant take the mut out of the man" Grade A-
 
 
Redskins- Such a promising roster , yet so irrelevant. Grade F
 
 
Giants- Fianlly playing to their potential, the giants appears poised for a run at the chip this year. The giants are still a year away from realizing their true potential as young players develop, but the coach is great enough to overcome the disadvantage of their current roster. Saquon and his massive quads appears poised to run through bricks walls, and make people "Rage Cry' (as the eagles call it) Grade - A-
 
 
Eagles- With Miles Sanders being their only source of offense many question whether they will win many more games. WIll Miles sanders remain healthy throughout the year with his massive workload? With an aging team, most of the offensive line regressing/retiring, and immense salary isssues, the eagles appear to poised for a rough offseason. They may be 2-3 season away from getting back on track.
 
 
 
 
NFC West
 
 
49ers- One of the more consistent players in NRG, no matter the situation they typcally end up at least in the wildcard. After winning the Chip year one, then failing to meet expectations year 2, they are itching for a shot at the dance once again. Trading away Jimmy J, showed the Niners believes its their system and not their QB. Does Mariota have the juice to lead this talented roster to a chip? Grade A-
 
 
Cardinals- After their recent breakdown, and venture into the YouTube world, the cards have resurrected as new man. They recently attempted more then 3 passes in a single game, and believe they can develop into a premier passing offense in this league. Many wonder if this attempt to change their game will leave the coach confused and ruin their once so productive identity. Maybe this will secure the longevity of Kyler Murray's career? Grade B+
 
 
Seahawks- Many moves later, and many under performing season with a top roster, the hawks finally believe they are the shit. They feel as though they are going to run away with the NFC West, and leave the cards, rams , and Niners in their dust. The new acquisition of Will fuller has helped the Hawks establish the Air Raid offense. It's streak city in Seattle. Will coaches finally adjust? They better stay focused because even two bad games can kick them out of a first round bye, and straight into a fight for a wild card spot.
 
 
 
Rams- One of the more quiet users, only comes out of the woodworks when their game is advanced without their consent. They have a top roster with many generational defensive players. They have come raging out the gates, but with a tough division, they need to stay consistent if they want a shot at the division, or the final wildcard spot.
