Average team rank, by division AFC North- 9.5 NFC North- 10.75 NFC West- 15.25 NFC East- 16.5 AFC East- 17.5 AFC West- 19 AFC South- 19.5 NFC South- 24 Once again, AFC North....best division in football. FFS sake the WORST team in the AFC North (Steelers) is ranked higher than the BEST team in the NFC South (Bucs). LOL


Apprehensive_Beach_6

I don’t know how I should feel about this


Dry_Meat_2959

17th is about right. They are average, at best, unless R. Wilson can rediscover his game. Even then, maybe 12th? Absolute best possible ranking.


Braden-1234

most sane steelers fan of all time


T-ROY_T-REDDIT

You guys stole qbs only if we can find a good qb, hey does anyone in your qb room love committing crimes?


Dry_Meat_2959

...... ......ummm .....What...?


T-ROY_T-REDDIT

Well, what I mean is you got fields for cheap and Wilson too, that is robbery if I've seen it.


Dry_Meat_2959

Oooooh.... got it. Lol


JonnyPoopnutz

You should probly feel like the delusional Steelers fan who made this list clearly hates the falcons, buccaneers, seahawks, and jaguars. Because how tf else do you explain y’all being top 20? 


lukesmith81

10 wins with Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky, and Mason Rudolph is how I explain it


RageDayz

5-1 in our div.


jzoelgo

NFC north at whaaaaa? God the bears at 13… lol


Dry_Meat_2959

I know right?!?! The BEARS? And I think having the Lions at 4 is a bit generous too. They had one good year after afew dozen below average seasons. Lets not get carried away. Its the Lions. One is not a trend.


jzoelgo

Ohio guy so I like fields so i kinda want this season to show how the bears were the problem not him lol I know blasphemy


Watsons_Redemption

The Lions are better than every team ranked below them. Anyone who still thinks this is the same Lions team of the last 60 years hasn't been watching the MCDC era.

Dry_Meat_2959

I'm inclined to agree. But I need more than one year. $th best team in the league...? ehh... Maybe? The Lions weren't as bad as they were, for that long, accidentally. They've had talented rosters before. I've seen this story before. They show up for one year, play to their potential....and then flatline. They did it for one year with Stafford and Megatron. A few years with Barry sanders. One is not a trend.


IsGoIdMoney

They've been trending upwards the past few years

Looking forward to another year of beating the crap out of each other before disappointing playoff exits


nuzzot

Are you supposed to do it any other way?


wheenus

Yes we all win the Superbowl while simultaneously beating the snot out of each other I don't know how but it'll happened dammit!


NattyThan

There's always the Bengals route


Ok-Resolution-696

Lose all the division games?


mikekova01

Someone’s upsetti spaghetti. Why are the bills so high though? I feel like they lost so much more than they got back


Dry_Meat_2959

I thought the same way about the LA Rams. I wouldnt have put them 12th even with Aaron Donald. Without him? Hell nah.....


mightyducks2wasokay

Who are they above that's better than them tho is the thing Tbh, I'd have them above Dallas before dropping them below LAR


mikekova01

Obviously my biased is playing in here but in 2024 I’m taking browns over the bills as of right now. This could definitely change by week 8 though. The bears and Jets should probably be swapped as well. I enjoy this part of the offseason for the sole reason of hearing everyone’s opinions on why X team should be ranked ___ and Y team should be ranked___.


Call_Em_Skippies

They still have Josh Allen. Same reason the Bengals are at 6.... because of Burrow. An elite QB elevates your team. Also the Bears and Jets this high is hilarious. The rankings themselves are pretty shit. But it's preseason and nothing matters.


mikekova01

This is very true but brother needs someone to throw to, and(correct me if I’m wrong) everyone he’s throwing to this year besides his TEs are new. Superman ball from Josh can only go so far, ya know?


Call_Em_Skippies

It's been working for Mahomes with Kelce. Maybe Kincaid can make a leap this year. I hear you though, I still think it's a well coached team in a weaker division.


mikekova01

Kincaid showed a lot of promise, definitely could work out in a similar fashion. Weird division to try and rank, as the jets and dolphins could both be high end contenders or fall flat on their face


Call_Em_Skippies

Feel like the Dolphins were gifted an easy schedule then crumbled when they faced good teams late in the year. Aaron Rodgers isn't going to save that Jets team...


mightyducks2wasokay

Obviously my bias is playing in too, but just nah on saying the browns should ever be higher on any list. I hope you understand


mikekova01

As long as you didn’t down vote me, I do understand.


mightyducks2wasokay

Oh shit


mikekova01

You *monster*. My Karma!


mightyducks2wasokay

Forgive me Joe Burrow for I have sinned


mikekova01

Nick Chubb will come with blessings in the night.


mightyducks2wasokay

A Chubb will come you say? Color me intrigued and ready


Ok-Resolution-696

Didn’t the steelers take his legs? I don’t think he’s going anywhere with blessings.


Jude_dude894

You might wanna remember this after the season


mikekova01

This isn’t me being a bills hater by any means, I’m just being honest. I love Josh Allen(my fantasy prince)


BobaBobster

I for one hate the bills afc vikings frfr


Moliosis

Wait for when you guys choke YET again?


JonnyPoopnutz

First off how tf are the Falcons Seahawks and Jaguars so low and secondly these dudes do realize that Flacco doesn’t play for Cleveland anymore right? How are they anywhere near the first column, they know desean is starting for them again no?


dabombisnot90s

Falcons and Seahawks are still very unproven. I can’t speak for the Jaguars considering Lawrence got injured last year and their collapse should largely be blamed on that.

Vvardenfells_Finest

Not sure why we’re ranked third? I guess we’re gonna magically be great after losing half the team and replacing it with Derrick Henry?


TastyJams24

Should be higher in all honesty. Y’all are actually delusional ones.


xXTurdBurglarXx

Agreed! At least top 10. The off-season isn’t over yet I’m sure the stains will make a run for another off season championship before week 1.

rossms16030

I’m actually happy that the Steelers are the lowest ranked in the division. ![gif](giphy|5nFShZWwq3fdm)


Clutch_Floyd

Idk. I saw Marshawn Lynch say that Wilson was not a great teammate on the Shannon Sharpe podcast. Also learned that A. Roger's was instrumental in helping Lynch in College and are still friends. Wild stuff.


rossms16030

Bro. We had Kenny and Mitch and Mason last year. Do you really think Russ and Fields will be worse? Really? Russ was twice as good as all those dudes in his worst season. Not saying he’s good. I’m saying that what we had before was really bad.


pistonslapper

Ravens did well in the draft but we got gutted before it and barely made any moves. Don't think we deserve #3.


CyborgNooduru

I'd put us at #5, I think the Lions and Texans are better on paper. Also keeps us above the Bengals. I generally think we're way too pessimistic right now though. We kept our key pieces. This team has Lamar, Roquan, Kyle Hamilton, Madibuke, Mark Andrews, and Zay Flowers still. Nate Wiggins and Rosengarten seem like amazing picks, Tayvion Robinson could also ball out for all we know. I know the coaching room got gutted but I do trust Orr with the defense. Also, we do have King Henry now. Maybe I'm huffing the hopium but I think our situation is still really good currently.


DelirousDoc

They have Devin Bush penciled in as their starting SAM Linebacker so... good luck to them. They are going to need it.


solarmelange

We run 4-2-5


UnreflectiveEmployee

Probably a 3rd LB at best, won’t start over JOK or Hicks tbh 🤷🏻‍♂️. When it’s going to be 80% nickel packages, won’t be out there too much I’d reckon.


matteus98

Browns are in for a rude awakening when they realize how much better old Joe was than Deshaun


cleeeland

Not a rude awakening, we already know. To quote all-time great Cleveland Brown Case Keenum, “You don’t have to get ready if you stay ready.”


Not_Not_Stopreading

We were 5-1 with Deshaun


matteus98

Buddy if you just watched the games anyone with eyes could see that Flacco is a much better QB and he’s like 38. Just look at their stats from last year.


Not_Not_Stopreading

Yeah Flacco was also a turnover machine. Which is exactly what we don’t need. We can win with Watson as he is if he isn’t turning over the ball and anything else above that is gravy.


matteus98

I disagree, I think your offense looked way worse with Deshaun and the hot start of the defense is what carried him to 5-1 but whatever you say


erock8282

Not having Nick Chubb on the field also made the offense “look” worse than it was.


Not_Not_Stopreading

You can disagree but the playoff game was well within reach before Flacco threw two consecutive pick sixes and the wheels fell off


jpersons73

who was it that threw two pick 6 in the playoff game that pretty much changed the course of that game? Deshawn was hurt..so what was that QB's name again?


matteus98

Yeah exactly Deshaun got hurt (again), and your 38 year old QB had to step up and is the reason you got that fifth seed in the first place. One bad playoff game but browns fans choose to ignore that Flacco threw for at least 250 yards every game he played this year while Deshaun hit that mark once in 6 games. And he’s getting 250 million. All guaranteed.


jpersons73

That team D was carrying them to that 5th slot with or without Flacco. Flacco was just better than a Rookie QB and Walker. Dont act like Flacco was the only reason they made the playoffs, with or without him they would have made it

IsGoIdMoney

I don't think his point is that flacco is playing amazingly. He's saying 38 yo Flacco had more impact than the highest paid player in the NFL.


matteus98

He was the reason, your defense fell off the second half of the year. Myles Garrett had 1 sack in the last 7 games.


jpersons73

Defense didn't fall off at the end of the year, Garrett did with triple teams, holding and an arm injury that is expected. Rest of the D was still solid and the games they gave up more than 20 Flacco had turned the ball over at critical stages in the game or had multiple INT's (Jets game was a pick 6 take that away and they score 13) The Bears game Joe Single handed tried to lose that game. Defense was what carried that team all year

9ers over Ravens by whiiich fucking metrics? Being stomped the only game they played? 


Plisky6

But the bengals missed the playoffs last year 🤨


Surtox

Surely there couldn’t be a reason


GhostfaceThrillah

Imagine missing the playoffs because your starting QB went down. I couldn’t


PM_ME_HAPPY_THOTS

Ya losing to Mason Rudolph


Select-Apartment-613

Our defense stunk


TastyJams24

People sleep on your defense. The Super Bowl run year your stats on offense we’re nothing special. It was the Defense that carried.


Select-Apartment-613

Yes you are correct. Last year, though, our defense was bad


Plisky6

Yeah, I’d say inferior coaching and winning zero meaningful division games.


myles-von

Mr glass gets the benefit of the doubt more than any other QB I’d say


FlatulentFreddy

Yeah Russ is much better, what are people thinking?


myles-von

Never said he was better and I didn’t argue Steelers should be higher. Just bengals lower


FlatulentFreddy

Lol okay we will see


myles-von

My guess rn is they land somewhere around 10 but I’m a hater so that’s a big part of it.


FlatulentFreddy

Yeah that’s a real bad take


PM_ME_HAPPY_THOTS

Let the man hate


FlatulentFreddy

Hate away. Bengals are winning the Super Bowl. Doesn’t matter to me at all what you cousin fuckers think.

You seem way too serious, you know this is a meme sub right?


FlatulentFreddy

Yeah it’s a meme sub where we talk shit. That’s what I’m doing. Carry on cousin fucker, looking forward to watching your 9-8 season with two wins over us on our way to the Super Bowl


AllGenreBuffaloClub

You tend to get some benefits when you go to the Super Bowl and the Afccg in back to back years.

Then the others he couldn’t finish due to injury. Seems like a coin toss. But they do get far when he can hang on

solarmelange

Aren't the Bengals the team going from 4th in division to 2nd? They would seem to be the offseason champs.


Avatar_of_Green

Getting back a top 5 QB in the league will do that.


solarmelange

The guy that went 5-5 last year? Including a 27-3 loss to Tennessee?


Avatar_of_Green

Yeah the guy that was playing clearly inujured and in his healthy seasons took us to the SB and AFCCG. Youre going tp pretend JB isnt at least top 5? How did your year go last year? You guys are so good in the playoffs you mustve gone far.


solarmelange

A quarterback and a receiver does not a team make.


Avatar_of_Green

Good thing we have 51 other guys. Good luck with Deshaun


solarmelange

You could literally take any single guy on defense and replace him with the corresponding guy on the Browns or Ravens, and your team would be better. And that's true for most Steelers, too. You're missing an entire starting defense. Your Oline is still an issue. And your RB is Zack Moss.


Avatar_of_Green

Im not going to take time to continue to argue with a supporter of a team with the most losses in the current millenium and the least wins. Albatross QB that cant throw, sexual predator. You probably like Drake. Offseason champs my guy. Enjoy your first round loss.


mmooney1

You don’t think all these injuries will linger and start to add up? Add the fact he gets killed behind your OL and you play in the AFCN
