That's a fair point since in my mind DPOY is far more prestigious than OPOY.
It just seems like it's a lesser award. Should be D MVP
Agree. With MVP being all but a "who is the best QB this year?" award, DPOY is the award where any player on that side of the ball can win

Generally the Lions have always been a bigger bye than anything else. The Bears and Vikings have known to be competitive for a few years at a time.
I'd trade with the Patriots any day.

The pats get 6 byes
So do the Colts. Big Ben is the only top QB who has to deal with good divisional organizations
rando that's your job dammit!

This is true.
The most successful team out of the AFC East since 2000 was probably the Jets when they went to the AFC championship.
Basically I'm saying is that the Bears and VIkings > Jets and Dolphins.
And now I'm defending the Bears and Vikings, fuck you people!

Dolphins beat the Bears and Vikings last year and were one former GB offensive coordinator away from beating the Packers.
I don't think the AFC East is much worse than the NFC North. It's no AFC North, though.
Also the damn Bills swept your division last year...

Because there is no source more reliable than team executives talking about their intentions for the draft a week before it happens.

Okay but understand I'm basing my comparison since the Tammy/Belicheat era started. Both the Vikings and Bears had some far better teams than whatever the Jets and Dolphins came up with in that stretch. I'm viewing the Bills and Lions as a wash because whatever.
I'm definitely not arguing the NFC North is as good as other divisions at all though. NFC North is trash and there have been some really trashy Green Bay teams that won the division a few seasons for sure.
I don't know. The Jones' have always been pretty candid about their intentions and their philosophies. They have been candid about the status of their own players, the needs of their team and how they planned to address those needs.
When an executive tells you he is philosophically opposed to trading draft picks for veteran players, why wouldn't you believe him?

Eagles bring the NFC east down.
two teams from the nfc north have made it to the super bowl in the last decade. Only 1 in the afc south.
Pretty simple.
In this case, to lower the cost of AP when he decides to sit out for the Vikes

Fair enough. The majority of Brady's career the AFC East has sucked, that is for sure. They seem to be getting a little better but half the teams still don't have a QB so...
In current times I don't know if I'd rather be the Pats or Packers in terms of division strength. I think it's close to a wash.

I agree, you do suck
But if we are to believe the report that 5 other teams are in the mix for AP, it wouldn't make a difference. Vikings are going to take the highest bid right?
Can they take Geno Smith ?

The Pats will be irrelevant in 3 years so it'll be interesting to see how that impacts the AFC East.
It's probably a wash these days though. Bears and Vikings are so bad right now and Detroit is gonna Detroit. I might actually put the Dolphins over Detroit so I'd rather be Green Bay right now.

Bears made it to a Super Bowl as recently as 2007. They were threatening for a good part of the early 2000s as well. In 2005 they were considered one of the top 3 teams in the league.
Vikings were 1 game away from the Super Bowl with Favre in 2009 and likely would have won it if they made it.
edit: misread the tone of your post.

Don't forget how close we were to beating the Lions! I still can't believe we gave those two games away...
Me too.

Good thing we got rid of Coyle....oh wait...

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Wow--Stafford lost a TON of weight this offseason.
Also, Lions inept offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi stated repeatedly that Stafford and Ebron were already working out together this offseason.
Stafford today insists he hasn't worked with Ebron at all and won't until July. Lombardi continues to be terrible.

It's amazing what a little smoke, mirriors, baggy shirt, makeup, camera tricks, and photoshop can do to make a person look a little thinner!

Bridgewater is my pick for breakout player of the year in 2015.
Maybe even 3 months.

Source said #Packers will retire Favre's number vs. Bears Thanksgiving night at Lambeau Field. Game is on NBC.
