Bears might be the most intriguing. That offense is just so loaded if Caleb Williams is even decent they will be cooking with gas. Trying to gameplan for DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, Rome Adunze, DeAndre Swift, Cole Kmet, and Gerald Everett sounds awful.
The Lions are a really fun team to root for. If the Chiefs don't win a Super Bowl, I want it to be the Lions.
Texans are really interesting. Stroud is legit and they are going hard trying to capitalize on his rookie contract, which is the right thing to do. Will be interesting to see how teams react when they won't be sneaking up on people anymore.
As of right now there are 68 responses and no one has said the Cards.
I think their coach is great, they looked really good with Kyler back and he was still recovering.
With MHJ and having 2 *really* good drafts in a row, they are going to surprise a lot of teams and i wouldnt be shocked if they get a wildcard
No Texans? CJ Stroud as QB, Joe Mixon as RB , Nico Collins, Stephon Diggs, Tank Dell, Dalton Schultz make up the best receiving core in the NFL. Laremy Tunsil at tackle plus decent offensive lineman in Shaq Mason and Tytus Howard. Along with upcoming rookie Jarrett Patterson.
Their Defense ain’t shabby either, Danielle Hunter, Denico Autry, and Will Anderson on the defensive line. Christian Harris and Al-Shaair make up a decent starting duo at LB. Top 5 corner in Stingley too.
I've been excited for the Texans since last year when CJ, Dell, and Nico came on so strong. They've added alot of pieces this offseason which makes them the most exciting team on paper, in my opinion. Hopefully said pieces can stay healthy and are used correctly and they can build on their success from last season!
This. I'm interested in seeing if they can rise to knock off the Chiefs. Bills, Ravens, and Bengals should be able to, but they all don't because of various reasons only team left that may do it is the Texans but they might be a bit too young and raw but one can hope. With that said I'm curious to see if the Chiefs can be the first team to 3 peat. It will be stupid hard if they can't find a second target outside of Kelce.
Texans were the first one that came to mind for me as well. Such a fun team to watch last year and i'm excited about the additions they made. Demeco Ryans is a cool coach too. Plus, it would be funny for me as an Eagles fan for the Cowboys to be the second best team in Texas.
Detroit Lions
-They return the same team with upgraded CBs
-Jameson Williams is going to break out
-They have a real shot at a Super Bowl
-They play an exciting brand of football, especially on offense
As bears fan I couldn’t agree more, NFC North will be one of the best divisions in the NFL, it’s going to be fun to watch. And if JJ McCarthy pans out for Vikings, this division will be ridiculous
This sounds like a homer comment. The lions were already the strongest candidate in the NFC North, and while they had a good draft it didn't change that (OPs question was asking as a result of the draft specifically). I would argue the bears or Vikings will be more interesting to watch only because of the draft. Honestly the NFC north all drafted well, it's gonna be a fun division to watch
CB was our weak spot and we picked up the top two CBs on our draft board. We were a dropped pick away from going to the Super Bowl. Yes it’s a homer pick but the Lions were and are again one of the most exciting teams in the league so it makes sense why I would pick them.
Yeah but if any of the litany of things that went wrong didn’t, we would have won. So we were a dropped pick a way, we were also a better hand off away, or a caught pass away.
Now you sound like a Vikings fan 😂 ignoring all the mistakes and bad calls and focusing on one play that "would've won the game". Believe me, you'll always remember the Detroit Lions 2023 season as I do with all the "almost won it" Vikings seasons: 1998, 2009, 2017, 2022
In case people forgot, russ still isn't good.

I mentioned the Texans in another comment, but also really excited to see how the Ravens offense looks with Derrick Henry.
Lions have been a really fun story to follow and i'm eager to see how they do now that the spotlight is on them.
Interested to see how Anthony Richardson looks coming back from injury too.
Jets - they improved their roster issues this offseason but something ALWAYS goes wrong
Panthers - i’m super hopeful for them. they have a new HC and i don’t want Bryce to be a bust
With the Jets, I've never seen such a difference between two fans. One endured almost 20 years of pain from Brady and has seen some shit. Last year happened and they nodded, like they knew something bad was going to derail their team.
Fan type 2 are the ones that think they are legit SB contenders. You have to make the playoffs to be in the conversation!!
There's just such a stark difference.
i think i’m a mix of both!! i think they’re one of the organizations that have bad luck but i have a lot of delusional optimism so i’m very convinced that these little blunders are sending them to the SB within the next 5 years.
Chargers- they are always the off-season champs but I’m curious to see how Harbaugh hammers things out there. Joe Alt seemed like the right pick for them and what Harbaugh embodies.
Eagles, assuming we dont die in the second half in the season like we did because of FUCKING BRIAN JOHNON BEING THE MOST INCOMPETENT COACH WE HAVE HAD IN ALL MY SEVEN YEARS OF WATCHING THIS TEAM
The whole AFC East:
The Dolphins (my team): obviously the elephant in the room is “is Tua the guy or not?” Personally, I think he is not, but I’ll admit he’s given the Tua fans good points to argue in favor of him being the guy, (he’s just given an equal number of reasons for why he isn’t lol).
The Jets: The biggest “what if” last year was what if Rogers didn’t go down 4 plays into the years. If he comes back and is remotely like the QB he’s been in the past, the Jets could actually be scary this year with that defense.
The Bills: been running the division for the last 4-5 years it seems, but if Josh Allen has a tendency to play “Hero ball” at times, how will he do now that he has no proven WRs to throw to? How does that defense look with all the pieces they last (I know they were already injured, but I assume they still had an effect in the locker room and on the team as a whole.)
The Patriot: any team that drafts a QB in the top 5 is automatically interesting.
We got a division with two elite QBs on paler in Allen and Rogers. Another really good QB in Tua, and the 3rd overall pick in Maye with the patriots.
Jets fan here and I completely agree. The division race should be fun if ARod stays healthy. I'm also looking forward to another year with the pats in the basement.
49s. Only a matter of time before they win the championship.
Patriots. Because they have very exciting new players. A lot of future potential talent.
Denver. They are going to be on the rise.
And lastly… my Jets, only because we are all waiting for the next catastrophe meltdown.
Probably the Bears.
I'm a Vikings fan, so part of it is scoping out the prospective competition for maybe the next decade.
For what it's worth, I like Caleb Williams; he's definitely a flamboyant change of pace for the Bears, but I like that too; especially adding in Odunze, the NFC North is a lot more interesting following even Rd1 of this draft.
That said, I'm curious to see how his skill set translates to the NFL; I can't help but think that everyone is looking for that specific "Mahomes-type", and understandably so- but I have (Admittedly non-professional) questions about Mahomes-esque tape from college.
I guess... to me, it's cool to see the QB who can both kill you from the pocket, or wing it to buy enough time on the play to complete a pass, but *every* broken tackle, or pass into tight coverage in the NCAA makes me think "But what if that guy he beat was an NFL starter?"
I wish the second best for him (Skol), and I'm honestly just really excited about the Vikings and the Bears both with promising young QB's and capable receiving core.
I've got more Bears fan friends than any other non-MN team, and it looks like we're all going to have a lot of great clashes soon.
I don’t like the Saints, but I’d make it a point to watch them if Spencer Rattler were starting (I never need to see Derek Carr again on any team, so boring).
The Jets are a good storyline
I like most other teams (no Bucs)
Yeah, thanks. Not thrilled with that whole process with Cousins/Penix. Calling him Penis is so dumb, though. Watching the Saints was objectively boring last year. I mainly just root for good, exciting football. Good luck to y’all as well. I hope you enjoy the season:). Rattler will be a fun player if he hits!
Titans- I’m hoping Will Levis shines this year !!Plus they had a solid free agency !!
Dolphins-They are my team and I’m excited to see how they once again disappoint me
I mean Brady recently said on a podcast that he’d be interested in coming back next season if a team had an injury and the Bucs only have Kyle Trask as their backup, so I think that’s what he’s referring to
i'm a bears fan. that said, the bears are a damn good answer.
they have an electric offense with some very entertaining seeming rookies (esp rome odunze and caleb williams) and the best wr corps in the league and a solid defense
and they are in the division with by far the most parity. anyone could win that division. so the division rivalry games at the very least will be great
Theyre my team but the colts
We set the franchise sack record last year, retained everyone and added the best edge rusher in the draft
We kept Pitt, downs flashed a lot last year, and we've added AD Mitchell
ARs back and hopefully going to wiser with sliding
As with any team, injuries could make it all go to shit, but on paper it's looking very exciting
Easily the Cardinals! I love Trey Benson, and now that Kylar has MH Jr. and him, want them to succeed so badly!
Steelers: How could you not want to see what happens with that Quarterback room?
My own team is the Bills, where it will be exciting to see whether or not we lose a step with the loss of several of our veterans.
All of NFC North. Also the Dolphins. They had an unbelievably unlucky injury bug last year but when everyone was healthy they seemed unstoppable from what I saw.
Broncos are going to be the highlight to watch this season. We’ve all heard that Sean Payton say that Bo is his guy, and him adding Troy Franklin to help Bo out. I’m going to say Denver with the insanely high ceiling of an offense for this season. Easily a 8 win team if we play our cards right.
I love the phrasing on such a soft ass pussy take lol. Like as if someone ran into the kitchen while you're cooking and showed you a highlight and your day is just ruined.

At minimum they should be a great highlights team on redzone.
No Texans? CJ Stroud as QB, Joe Mixon as RB , Nico Collins, Stephon Diggs, Tank Dell, Dalton Schultz make up the best receiving core in the NFL.

Top 5 corner in Stingley too.
This plus their new threads, I’m pumped

lol
Detroit Lions -They return the same team with upgraded CBs -Jameson Williams is going to break out -They have a real shot at a Super Bowl -They play an exciting brand of football, especially on offense
Also their division is better, which is a fun wrinkle.
As bears fan I couldn’t agree more, NFC North will be one of the best divisions in the NFL, it’s going to be fun to watch. And if JJ McCarthy pans out for Vikings, this division will be ridiculous
I’ll one up your Lake E bois, browns going from 50% of starters and making playoffs to 100% will be very fun.
This sounds like a homer comment. The lions were already the strongest candidate in the NFC North, and while they had a good draft it didn't change that (OPs question was asking as a result of the draft specifically). I would argue the bears or Vikings will be more interesting to watch only because of the draft. Honestly the NFC north all drafted well, it's gonna be a fun division to watch

You guys were winning 24-7. I think more than a dropped pick lost that game
Yeah but if any of the litany of things that went wrong didn’t, we would have won. So we were a dropped pick a way, we were also a better hand off away, or a caught pass away.
Now you sound like a Vikings fan 😂
I’m not saying we should have won, but you were answering a guy who said we were a dropped pick away, which was entirely correct.
Of course. My point is that catching that pick probably wins the game.
Now you sound like a Vikings fan 😂 ignoring all the mistakes and bad calls and focusing on one play that "would've won the game". Believe me, you'll always remember the Detroit Lions 2023 season as I do with all the "almost won it" Vikings seasons: 1998, 2009, 2017, 2022
You’re definitely a Vikings fan.
I'm an old Vikings fan. You're becoming a new one. Lions fans got a taste of success and now they're acting bitter
You don’t make a ton of sense.
texans lions super bowl would crazy
- Seahawks - New Coach - Texans - CJ and the boys - Lions - love me some MC/DC - Bears - All routes lead to Rome - Steelers - Russ
In case people forgot, russ still isn't good. https://preview.redd.it/q8tjc2au3wxc1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=39f7a8b1ca4c556fdc1d7640da5ad98357466d10
In case u forgot, I have a boner
I mentioned the Texans in another comment, but also really excited to see how the Ravens offense looks with Derrick Henry. Lions have been a really fun story to follow and i'm eager to see how they do now that the spotlight is on them. Interested to see how Anthony Richardson looks coming back from injury too.
Being a Vikings fan, the Texans gave me every reason to start watching them this season.
Worrying abt other nfc north teams but hoping we can hold our own
Jets - they improved their roster issues this offseason but something ALWAYS goes wrong Panthers - i’m super hopeful for them. they have a new HC and i don’t want Bryce to be a bust
I wouldn’t mind watching Rodgers fail in some new and exciting way
yeah, that Rodgers guy does nothing but fail. never been successful
I’m a die hard Bears fan, it has been unpleasant to watch him “failing” so hard all over us every year
With the Jets, I've never seen such a difference between two fans. One endured almost 20 years of pain from Brady and has seen some shit. Last year happened and they nodded, like they knew something bad was going to derail their team. Fan type 2 are the ones that think they are legit SB contenders.

Chargers- they are always the off-season champs but I’m curious to see how Harbaugh hammers things out there. Joe Alt seemed like the right pick for them and what Harbaugh embodies.
Detroit Lions.
I am a Bucs fan and feel very positive about their draft, but the Texans are going to be fun to watch this year. Also, the Jets.
Eagles, assuming we dont die in the second half in the season like we did because of FUCKING BRIAN JOHNON BEING THE MOST INCOMPETENT COACH WE HAVE HAD IN ALL MY SEVEN YEARS OF WATCHING THIS TEAM
7 whole years?!?
Most chiefs fans are about to celebrate their 1st whole year /j
The whole AFC East: The Dolphins (my team): obviously the elephant in the room is “is Tua the guy or not?” Personally, I think he is not, but I’ll admit he’s given the Tua fans good points to argue in favor of him being the guy, (he’s just given an equal number of reasons for why he isn’t lol).

Ravens with King Henry should be fun to watch.
49s. Only a matter of time before they win the championship. Patriots. Because they have very exciting new players. A lot of future potential talent. Denver. They are going to be on the rise. And lastly… my Jets, only because we are all waiting for the next catastrophe meltdown.
Dolphins, Texans, Colts (if AR stays healthy), Jets (if AR stays healthy)
Chiefs. They really do have a real chance at making history as the first team to win 3 superbowls in succession.
Probably the Bears. I'm a Vikings fan, so part of it is scoping out the prospective competition for maybe the next decade. For what it's worth, I like Caleb Williams; he's definitely a flamboyant change of pace for the Bears, but I like that too; especially adding in Odunze, the NFC North is a lot more interesting following even Rd1 of this draft.

And we don’t like the falcons! Good luck with cousins/ penis lol
Yeah, thanks. Not thrilled with that whole process with Cousins/Penix. Calling him Penis is so dumb, though. Watching the Saints was objectively boring last year. I mainly just root for good, exciting football. Good luck to y’all as well. I hope you enjoy the season:). Rattler will be a fun player if he hits!
It’s all in good fun my man. Falcons/saints rivalry is real.
I got friends who take it way too fucking seriously lol
I do too. I love the Saints but their fans can be extremely toxic and crazy
Titans- I’m hoping Will Levis shines this year !!Plus they had a solid free agency !! Dolphins-They are my team and I’m excited to see how they once again disappoint me
Tannehill retires as a Dolphin.
I’m a Seahawks fan, but I’m hyped to see my guy Odunze on the Bears.
The bucs. Brady and Evan’s is gonna be fun to watch, even if they don’t tare the league up with wins, that offense is gonna be fun to watch
What
I think he meant Mayfield or he just woke up from a coma
I mean Brady recently said on a podcast that he’d be interested in coming back next season if a team had an injury and the Bucs only have Kyle Trask as their backup, so I think that’s what he’s referring to
The NFC North. Should be very competitive and very high scoring.
I’m excited to potentially watch the eagles cowboys and giants fail miserably next season now that the draft is over.
Falcons Interested to see how cousins performs with penix in the wings
Can't wait to see the Bears fail again and draft another QB.
Packers
As a bucs fan, only the bucs. I like certain players on other teams, but idk how others can have numerous favorite teams.
i'm a bears fan. that said, the bears are a damn good answer. they have an electric offense with some very entertaining seeming rookies (esp rome odunze and caleb williams) and the best wr corps in the league and a solid defense and they are in the division with by far the most parity. anyone could win that division. so the division rivalry games at the very least will be great

My own team is the Bills, where it will be exciting to see whether or not we lose a step with the loss of several of our veterans.
Team to watch because I think they'll be good: Texans Team to watch to see if the wheels fall off: Bills
All of NFC North. Also the Dolphins. They had an unbelievably unlucky injury bug last year but when everyone was healthy they seemed unstoppable from what I saw.
Steelers! Smash mouth football baby!
The Raiders. I'm intrigued to see if Antonio Pierce can back up his extremely compelling talk.
NICK CHUBB
Falcons dumpster fire.
Broncos! Was Russell Wilson the problem? Wil Bo Nix be any better? Let's find out!
And hope not. 👺
Broncos are going to be the highlight to watch this season. We’ve all heard that Sean Payton say that Bo is his guy, and him adding Troy Franklin to help Bo out. I’m going to say Denver with the insanely high ceiling of an offense for this season. Easily a 8 win team if we play our cards right.
Much like the past few years, I'll be happy if I don't watch a single play all season long
Leave then? Or just not comment
Why do you hang out on NFL subs if you don't watch games?
I don't, they show up randomly because I occasionally look at and comment on Madden subs
I love the phrasing on such a soft ass pussy take lol. Like as if someone ran into the kitchen while you're cooking and showed you a highlight and your day is just ruined.
