Following my extensive divisional draft & roster review series, we’re once again running through all 32 NFL teams, only now we’re examining what I believe are the most pivotal questions projecting forward to the 2025 season!

Predicting the entire 2024 NFL season:
We’re less than a week away from the NFL season being kicked off with an AFC Championship game rematch, where this time around it’s the Ravens travelling to Kansas City, as the Chiefs begin their quest to becoming first team to ever win three titles in a row.
So it’s time for me to once again put all of my predictions out there in the ether – all the major awards, playoff seedings and who I have facing each other in Super Bowl LIX. I will outline my top three finalists for MVP, Defensive Player of the Year and such, along with a few honorable mentions at the end. To determine the playoff picture, I went through all 272 individual matchups, taking into account important circumstances, such as rest (dis)advantages, how games fit within those schedule and of course personnel clashes.
I have added the full Excel file with every single team’s weekly result and final record at the very bottom, if you’re interested!
One burning question for each NFC team ahead of the 2024 season
Following my month-long divisional draft & roster review series, I’m back with a little two-piece project, where instead of diving into a bunch of individual players, I looked at each team as a whole and asked myself “what is the one burning question I have for them as I think about the 2024 NFL season?”
The 15 minutes that cost the Lions a trip to Super Bowl LVIII
The two teams facing off in Super Bowl 58 are now set, but before we move on to discussing that matchup, I felt that it was necessary to break down why the Lions couldn’t advance past the 49ers.
It’s certainly not simply based on a couple of aggressive fourth-down decisions by their head coach, which was actually a big factor in them even making it to the championship game, but rather a 15-minute stretch where everything went wrong for them!
Why football nerds will fall in love with the 2023 Falcons offense
With three straight top-10 draft picks spent on their versatile skill-position group, a bruising offensive line, a promising second-year quarterback & some of the most well-rounded play-calling, the Falcons offense is about to rise up in 2023!
Biggest remaining needs for each NFC team heading into 2023:
After extensively discussing the individual players and draft classes put together by NFL teams, along with outlining the most improved position groups across the league last week, it was time for me to work through these rosters yet again and find the one area they should still be looking to address personnel-wise. We’ll start with the NFC here, as part of this two-part series!
Which roles do the Seahawks & Buccaneers play in the NFC?
The Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers travelled to Munich this past Sunday for the first ever NFL game in Germany. After a very interesting matchup, with both these teams now entering their bye week, I thought this was the right time to analyze how the things we saw fit into the rest of their seasons. Based on that, I will conclude with my thoughts on both squads going forward and which roles they may play in the NFC.
Biggest remaining need on each NFL roster for 2022 – NFC edition:
We’ve arrived at a point of the NFL offseason, where rosters are generally set. So I thought it was time to kind of reflect on the roster building process and point out that one area where each team should still be looking to upgrade.
Biggest remaining needs for each team in the NFC for 2020:
The big free agency period and draft are now in the books, so we have reached what I like to call the “dark hole” of the offseason. You don’t have a lot of trades or signings going on and the biggest news are about teams changing their uniforms. However, what this part of the year allows me to do, is watch the film of some players I wasn’t really able to during the regular season and evaluate how teams are built.
I looked through the rosters of all 32 NFL organizations and tried to pin-point the one spot they could still use an upgrade at. That can be a very specific fit for their scheme, a true impact starter, depth at a certain position group or whatever. I tried to go through some of the areas of improvement I looked at, how they might have addressed some of them already and how I got to the conclusion of what their biggest need is.
You can also listen to my breakdown on Youtube and I will put out my AFC version of this next week.
Biggest remaining needs for each team in the NFC:
As I do every year once free agency and the draft are wrapped up, I wanted to take a look at every team in the league and point out their biggest remaining area that could use some improvement. This could be a need for a top-end starter, a specific role player or simply depth at a position. To specify this a little bit, these are the most important additions the teams should still make to win this year, not necessarily for the future. So I am not considering having to find replacements for older players or some guys a team might not be able to afford a year or so down the road – simply that one hole they need to fill to be more competitive this season. For the first time ever this list does not include a single starting quarterback since I think pretty much all 32 teams are set at that spot at least for the upcoming season – even though I might disagree with them long-term.
