Yes. Perhaps we will all remember they exist for a bit longer this year.

Oh, good point. Especially considering the NFC East is complete garbage at least every other year. So the Giants may be able to hope for that sweet NFC East 4 seed.

Redskins don’t look inspiring tbh. Eagles I’d say are gonna take the division, Cowboys are going to take a step back - Zeke is regressing big time, and a shift to Tony Pollard as a lead back would only result in him being exposed as a chance of pace guy, just like so many others have been. No Amari Cooper, no Michael Gallup. Trevon Diggs is extremely unlikely to repeat having as many TOs as he did, and he will continue to get torched.

TLDR: top 3 finish in the division is possible! And I really like the Thibodeax pick!

Steelers Training camp over the past few weeks has only made the QB situation seem more sticky. Mitch Tribusky is at times doing well. Other times, he is, well, Mitching it up. Mason Rudolph seems to be doing better than previous years, but I know once the spotlight hits him in a big game, he'll go back to being Mason Rudolph. And then there is Pickett. I think he can throw about 10 yards and that's it.

It feels like the early 2000s, with Kordell Stewart and Tommy Maddox. Lots of misplaced hope.

Steelers will be lucky to be .500 this year. :(

When I mentioned the NFC East 4th seed, what I really meant was the type of 4th seed where you get a home playoff game while having a losing record.
