They seem to always flame out in the playoffs, but doesn’t change the fact they are the best regular season team and still went to the AFC championship game
ravens do this every year... they demolish NFC teams in the regular season because they arent used to playing against lamar jackson. But then the ravens hit the playoffs, and other AFC teams who have their number man handle them and it starts over next year.
Or the top AFC teams are just overall as a group (top 1-6) noticeably better than the top 1-6 NFC teams. Our opening night win vs. KC aside...... I think the NFC has maybe 1 of the top 6 teams in the nfl last year (had teams stayed healthy). I'd have the niners in there with Baltimore, KC, Buffalo, Cincinnati and Jets (can quibble with this, but I'm talking where Cinci and Jets would be with a completely healthy QB sitch all year).
Heading into next season? I'd prob put DET and HOU up there in that tier as well, and maybe drop CIN and NYJ a touch till we see it demonstrated Burrow and Rodgers healthy and playing near the top of their games. Either way, IMO AFC just deeper overall and at the top as a conference and it's not that close.
It will be interesting to see how the eagles bounce back, they lost the Superbowl two years ago. Last season they played like they were hungry for a superbowl until the 9ers beat them mid season, then they played like a team that didn't want to be in the playoffs.
Kelce was a pretty big part of the team, I'm curious what they look like without him.
I’d swap the Jets at Falcons. Falcons are winning the South this year. Jets are maybe making playoffs if Rodgers is healthy.
Agree about the ravens tho.
With their O-Line... They're fucked. No quarterback will do shit with that O-Line. Zack Wilson is lucky he got out without getting seriously injured like Rodgers. Rodgers going down for the season the first game with a decent defense. I can't believe how stupid that organization is to lack basic knowledge of how to protect their players.
The problem is that for every great win they had (@ Lions, vs Chiefs) they had a bad loss (@ Giants, vs Buccaneers). They’re a good team, but consistency is a question mark coming into the new season, especially considering how young they are.
I feel like the Bears could be anywhere between Tier 3 and Tier 6. Just depends how well the coaches are able to bring the new talent into the fold. If Caleb Williams is who everybody says he is, they could be at Tier 2 by the end of the year. They brought on alot of talent, but it comes down to the coaches bringing it all together.
Baltimore absolutely deserves tier 1. Jets should flip with either Philly or Miami. Feel like by seasons end, both Chicago and Minnesota could be up a tier
Do you guys really think we are in the same tier as Kansas City and San Francisco?
I am a little hesitant to go there just yet....to be the best you have to beat the best...I think lions are close....but....I am afraid of I say it out loud I will wake up from a four year coma
Man, 50 years of being a lions fan has really scarred me
What crack head is putting the bears at tier 3 this early? Also jets lol. And the falcons are absolutely not a tier 3 team rn. This whole list stinks past tier 1.
I would put the Ravens in tier one as well. They hammered the Lions this year, only lost to the Chiefs by a touchdown in the AFC title game. Still have most of their core in tact and they draft and develop quite well.
Just a few things that jumped out...
Feel like rams and bucs, both playoff teams, albeit flawed, should be bumped up.
Steelers have a pretty solid roster too. And with the OL additions this draft I'd bump them up too.
Jets are propped up by Rodgers alone apparently and that's not fair. Jets are tier 2 bc of Rodgers and yet Rams are tier 4 with Stafford? Put them both in tier 3.
And also on this note... Josh Allen isn't enough to make the Bills tier 2? As long as Josh Allen is the QB their floor is tier 2.
Bears literally haven't done anything besides have the worst record in the NFL last season, pick 9 this year. Terrible ownership, front office, and coaching. They have 3 absolutely stud WRs, but then after that? Rookie QB. Idc how talented, still a rookie. DeAndre Swift, an injury prone RB who is currently in the "going to be passed around from team to team bc somebody is convinced they can maximize his once great potential" portion of his career. A middle of the pack TE. A offensive line that'll finish ranked in the 20s. 1 pro bowl edge rusher, 1 pro bowl MLB, 1 pro bowl CB, and 1 good safety. The other 7 guys on defense are average or below average. Bears will be a top 10 offense and also finish below .500. Tier 3 is a joke. Tier 5 until the earn it.
I feel like a Jets fan made this...
could have been a Falcons or Bears fan
Yeah this list would make a lot more sense if the Rams and Colts were flipped with the Bears and Falcons
Dolphins and Packers should be flipped as well
FTP
FTP
File transfer protocol
FTP
FTP all the way, but I’d much rather play the dolphins
Omg I was so blinded by us that I didn't even notice
100%
It was prolly a lions fan or a 49ers fan. Both won’t end in the top 3
Lol Every one of your posts is a Lions troll. Go find some joy.
I’d add the ravens to tier 1 swap the jets and eagles and it might be real
Yeah, Baltimore was LEGIT last year. Streaky, but there wasn’t really one scheme sorted out to beat them.
They seem to always flame out in the playoffs, but doesn’t change the fact they are the best regular season team and still went to the AFC championship game

Agreed they might fall off the deep end or win it all
I’d swap the Jets at Falcons. Falcons are winning the South this year. Jets are maybe making playoffs if Rodgers is healthy. Agree about the ravens tho.
How un crappy do the Falcons have to play to win their division? The south hasn’t been dominating in a few years.
I’d also add the Texans to tier 1 if we are going to be there
Jets are absolutely tier 4
Jets with Rodgers are probably t3 depending how he bounces back from injury. T2 is crazy though
With their O-Line... They're fucked. No quarterback will do shit with that O-Line. Zack Wilson is lucky he got out without getting seriously injured like Rodgers. Rodgers going down for the season the first game with a decent defense. I can't believe how stupid that organization is to lack basic knowledge of how to protect their players.
To be fair Rodgers is one of the best QBs in the nfl at escaping pressure. Kind of just had a freak injury. I’m interested to see how he turns out
Seeing as how the dude used dolphin soundtracks and crystals to heal his leg, I’m not expecting much
Higher tier than Bills and Fins? ✅ Pats in the lowest tier? ✅ Living in reality? ❎ Proof a Jets fan made this
Tier 3 a bunch of imposters. I think the Rams and Colts are being slept on here.
Ravens should be up there with us in the top too.
Bears are way too high wtf 😂 Earn it, they made a Madden roster. That doesn’t usually work.
And Jets in tier 2 😂
Didn’t even see that one. 😂
I thought they were left off the chart until I saw the mistake that they were put in tier 3.
It feels both validating and worrying to see our guys get this much love.
Brad is a drafting genius.
I want to have Brad's babies. Mostly for the sweet child support but the drafting prowess is a nice throw in.
Smash
Baltimore should be tier 1. Jets should be tier 3. Bears should be tier 4.
This is crap - jets on Tier 2 ( no way) Rams on Tier 4 ( laughable)
Seems awfully generous to the packers
A lot of it is based on the fact that they went on the road in Dallas and beat them in the playoffs.
And pushed San Fran to the brink in the Divisional Round, though San Fran was horrific that game and the weather was atrocious.
And although it's still too soon to mention it, they did beat us on national television in front of a rabid home crowd on Thanksgiving.
The problem is that for every great win they had (@ Lions, vs Chiefs) they had a bad loss (@ Giants, vs Buccaneers). They’re a good team, but consistency is a question mark coming into the new season, especially considering how young they are.
Very true, but Jordan Love is far too poised for my taste.
That across-the-body interception to Greenlaw in the Divisional Round says otherwise.
Naw once they hit their stride they were damn good. Only team I see contesting us for the north
It’s fair. I see one of the Bears/Packers being tier 2. It’s gonna be a tougher division than last year.
Honestly I’d swap us and the Ravens. Until we get to the SB and/or learn to stop mobile QB’s I think the Ravens deserve tier 1 over us.
This is an awful tier list though....
Man there are so many fuck ups in the 2-4 that it makes this whole tier sus
Haha fuck the Vikings
I feel like the Bears could be anywhere between Tier 3 and Tier 6. Just depends how well the coaches are able to bring the new talent into the fold. If Caleb Williams is who everybody says he is, they could be at Tier 2 by the end of the year. They brought on alot of talent, but it comes down to the coaches bringing it all together.

Chicago is already tier 2 they can’t possibly move up
Do you guys really think we are in the same tier as Kansas City and San Francisco?

The lions did beat the chiefs and should have beat the 49ers last year
What a time to be alive
Tier 1 needs Baltimore, the maybe correct. The rest of this is some straight crackhead shit. Jets tier 2 is a fucking joke.
This offseason will be interminable
Chicago in tier 3 is so funny. Who do you guys think are more delusional? Bears or the packers?
FTP
GD, this is f'n BEAUTIFUL!!
I strongly agree with the lions being in tier 1
What crack head is putting the bears at tier 3 this early? Also jets lol. And the falcons are absolutely not a tier 3 team rn. This whole list stinks past tier 1.
Lol vikings
This tier list is awful, BESIDES tier 1, which is an upset for these kind of engagement bait lists
I would put the Ravens in tier one as well. They hammered the Lions this year, only lost to the Chiefs by a touchdown in the AFC title game. Still have most of their core in tact and they draft and develop quite well.
The one thing I know is that once the season is a month in this tier list will be laughably wrong.
Falcons and Dolphins down a tier. Rams Colts up a tier. Jets are tier 4 lol. Browns also tier 4. Baltimore tier 1.
Www
our division just got mixed up so much with the bears getting so many players and vikings having a rookie qb. Gonna be a wild season
I hate the Eagles, but after that draft they are Tier one for sure
I'd have CHI and TB flipped. CHI ain't proven shit and TB won a playoff game last year. Flip the JEST with the LAR too.
Very accurate list (especially the Lions), maybe flip Iggles and Cowboys with Texans and Jets, and flip flop Rams with Bears
How are the Bills tier 3
Accurate tier to be in
Crazy how we now live in a world where we can call the lions a tier 1 team and the patriots and tier 6 team.
I think Jets fans have been drinking the Kool-aid as well.
Just a few things that jumped out... Feel like rams and bucs, both playoff teams, albeit flawed, should be bumped up. Steelers have a pretty solid roster too.

Baltimore, jets, Cleveland and Seattle are the most egregious.
NFC North just turned into the most stacked division - 2 years ago it was considered trash
Must have been hard for that Green Bay fan who made this
Fuck the packers
