They didn't actually do numerical rankings, but lumped everyone into 6 categories: Top Shelf, Next Level, Contenders, Not Sold, Searching for Mediocrity, Bottom Feeders. We get put in "Contenders" with San Fran, Atlanta, NYJ, Detroit, Chicago, Dallas, Cincinnati and Seattle.

Yea, other than Seattle and KC (and possibly Pittsburgh) I mostly agree with where everyone was put. Those three I'd probably bump down a notch each.

The only comment that mentioned the Panthers said if you combined the Panthers offense with the Seahawks defense you'd have a top-5 team, heh.

I mostly agree with this.

My only issue is Pittsburgh...I believe they are an 8-10 win team. They aren't the "elite" defense they use to be.

KC...meh they do have some serious talent on that roster with Cassel holding them back IMO.

I'm not saying Matt is an awful QB...he's just meh. He reminds me of Delhomme in his prime in a way, good but not great.

Plus playing in a division that is a huge question mark helps.

    • According to multiple players and staffers in the locker room, some players were asking why Eberflus didn’t call a timeout. Other players got going, too. “Guys were furious,” a staff member said. “It was an accumulation of this season.” “The locker room was ugly,” another staffer said. “There was a lot of yelling.” Said the first player: “We felt as players it’s been too many instances where we fought our way back into games to lose because of bad time management and decision-making.” Multiple sources added that the emotions were so high between the players and their head coach that Eberflus left the locker room immediately after his speech and the exchange with players. There was nothing left to say. It was a moment for this Bears team that would inevitably force chairman George McCaskey into something the franchise had never done before. By Friday morning, Eberflus was out — but not before the team decided to have him address the media over Zoom just after 9 a.m. Two hours later, he was gone. The Bears made it official by sharing statements from general manager Ryan Poles and president/CEO Kevin Warren.
    • You take all this stuff too personally.  Learn to detach. Lol or don't. It's up to you. People don't have the same appreciation or longing for him you seem to have. For me, I just don't understand it. Basically a footnote in Panthers history. Go ahead if you feel he needs it or you need it, but most apparently just don't know why it's such a big deal. Comparing him to guys like kuechly or cam is kind of weak. Those guys made a huge impact on the franchise. Wilks was just a guy we had as a DC a couple times and got him to be an interim. Mildly interesting, but not much more than that as time goes on.
    • @adamjahns   In Detroit, Bears players finally had enough. The locker room was an ugly scene. Players yelled back at their head coach — and he left. The inside story on the final days of Matt Eberflus and where he lost his team.  https://x.com/adamjahns/status/1862848299981541516
