Besides us - who is gonna be who in the NFC this year?

In order, these are the NFC teams that really concern me.

Green Bay
Carolina
New Orleans
Philly
Minnesota

I could see scenarios where Atlanta and the Giants are a threat but they are a full tier beneath this group in my mind.

I would love seeing our defense destroying Aaron Rodgers, and Goff passing for more TD's....OWNAGE!

Really only Philly and Minnesota in that group. None of those other teams are intimidating.

For Me in this order:

Minny
Philly
Saints
Panthers
Falcons

Reason I didn't have Packers, their D still needs to prove it, but could easily be this year version of the Saints. Where their youth on D step up

Giants I think Ol' noodle arm will throw for an amazing amount of INT's this season. Its his strength, no? Thus a ton more of the camera 's panning onto the classic "Eli frown" (head down walking to sideline) :rimshot::mrburnsevil:

Season hasn’t started. I worry about them all until we beat them all.

I think Minnesota is stacked and all in on a Super Bowl run. I don't see Carolina or GB being a serious NFC contender.

Seems like every year there's at least one totally-out-of-nowhere team.

My first board mention of Josh Rosen was before his first game at UCLA.
Been following him a while. Can't stop now. He's undefeated against Goff.

Going to throw in (up?) the Cardinals, post-Bradford.

Assuming we're talking about playoff teams and matchups vs our Rams...
I worry about whoever has the best front seven vs our offense. Whichever defense can get pressure without having to blitz, play physical and tackle well. The kryptonite of any high powered offense (like ours) when the regular season is over and the playoffs begin.

Minnesota

Yes, exactly; Since McVay knows this, I think he is prepared with some counter punches.

My only worry this year is the O line.

It's a year to year league. I don't think Minnesota does shit this season. Or Carolina.

I worry that the cards won't have a healthy QB by week 2 of the regular season.

My fart goes out to them.

The NFC is sooo stacked this year. The top 3 teams this year in the NFC IMO are

Philadelphia
Minnesota
LA Rams

One of those 3 teams are winning the Super Bowl.

I also think New Orleans is a close 4th and would also be the the AFC champ if they were there.

NFC is loaded with top tier teams

Aaron Rodgers is still the best QB in this league and to me - that makes Green Bay the biggest threat.

Carolina has a really really good defense, they can run the ball and control a game, and Cam can be unstoppable (albeit inconsistent)

Philly, Minn, and NO showed last year that they are real.

The NFC is going to be really tough this year - even if we don't get a tier two team like Atlanta, NYG, or whoever stepping up and being better than everyone thought.

Minnesota beat us due to our secondary cracking in crunch time. This year things might be different.

I like the Rams vs anyone this year tbh. But there's a ton of good teams in the NFC who might take that next step and go deep in the playoffs. NFC is effin loaded.
