Which Teams are the Top Contenders?

as Robert Woods, Odell Beckham Jr., Sebastian Joseph-Day and Von Miller now play elsewhere.

Wait. Did I miss something?

They just refuse to cut the Rams a break. In what universe is TB better than the Rams?

In the Tammy Brady fan boy universe.

Because of this;

“Adding a receiver such as Russell Gage, who was an underrated weapon in Atlanta and averaged 1.96 yards per route run last season, could make a real impact on the offense.”

I think McVay was right when he says Miami looks scary good. I see them as a top 10 contender if they stay healthy. They have enough on both sides of the ball to make things happen. Their HC is off the Shanahan tree. They now have Mostert and Michel as their RBs. They have a good defense under Josh Boyer who was under Brian Flores. Previously Josh earned his chops with the Pats. I don't see a drop-off this year for a defense that could be a top 12 unit.

I think Miami is going to surprise people. This team finished 9-8 and so 10+ wins wouldn't be a stretch. I see them finishing second to Buffalo and a potential WC team. With Mostert, Hill and Waddle they have some serious speed on offense. Many expect the Miami D to take the next step and could be a top 10 unit.

Miami can run and pass and play decent defense which is a potent combination. They will be a hard out each week even in the AFC. Their first 4 games, Pats, Ravens, Bills, and Bengals will tell you how good they are or aren't. If they make it to the playoffs it won't be through the back door.

I actually don't begrudge being placed third, and think it is fair to say we have likely moved sideways while some other teams have added a lot. What I don't like/understand is is behind the Bucs. They got worse, Brady got older and we have owned them the last few years. Just seems stupid.

Yeah, just more Brady ball washing.

NFC West Offseason Grades: Rams Still On Top?

Which NFC West team made the biggest waves this offseason? Fan Nation publishers analyze: The Los Angeles Rams are coming off of their first Super Bowl win in two decades, sending them into arguably the most critical offseason of the Sean McVay era. And so far, the Rams have passed that offseason test with flying colors, adding substantial star talent to a roster that was already one of the NFL's best. However, the Rams were far from the only team in the NFC West that made big improvements, With that in mind, Fan Nation publishers got together and graded the offseason for each team in the division.

Fresno is central California not Bay Area. You’re in no danger.

Decent read, but why did every team other than the Rams get credit for additions in the draft?
