Los Angeles Chargers 2024 Season Preview
The Los Angeles Chargers are finally coming out of the Brandon Staley era that was highlighted by blowing a 27-point lead in the playoffs to the Jaguars. With a new general manager and new coaches across the board, including HC Jim Harbaugh, they wanted to build their own team and win their own way.
Las Vegas Raiders 2024 Season Preview
Las Vegas went 8-9 in 2023, which feels like a huge overachievement. They have had some solid front 7s in the last few seasons, but they need to begin building the other parts of a championship roster.
Philadelphia Eagles 2024 Season Preview
It seems as though the Philadelphia Eagles went through a quick retool and have been at the pinnacle of the sport for about a half decade now but have yet to win it all. The Eagles went 11-6 before getting bounced in the divisional round of the 2023 playoffs. They had a great squad, but they could not expect to roll out the same roster in 2024 and expect better results.
Kansas City Chiefs 2024 Season Preview
The Kansas City Chiefs are coming off the heels of back-to-back Super Bowl victories. A dynasty started right when the Patriots’ dynasty came to a close, the question is now whether or not they will be able to replace key players who leave the roster while still being contenders.
Jacksonville Jaguars 2024 Season Preview
I have the Jaguars going 7-10 in 2024. This would be two straight seasons of regression since their playoff win. Where would they go from there? It certainly starts with the inability to build a sound defense. Even if they do not have an elite offense, it has been their strength in the Trevor Lawrence era.
Indianapolis Colts 2024 Season Preview
Despite an injury riddled season last year, the Colts have plenty to be optimistic about for the 2024 season. Last year saw their offensive anchors in QB Anthony Richardson and RB Jonathan Taylor both go down with season-ending injuries. Getting both of those players back is almost like adding a star free agent to last year’s team. They should be one of the more complete and dangerous offenses in the NFL, if they manage to stay healthy.
Houston Texans 2024 Season Preview
The Houston Texans are another team that pressed fast forward on their rebuild because they absolutely killed in the draft. Getting guys like CJ Stroud, Will Anderson, and Tank Dell fortified both sides of the ball for them. A 10-7 record, AFC South Division Title, and a playoff win was certainly not on many peoples’ bingo cards.
Green Bay Packers 2024 Season Preview
The Green Bay Packers pressed fast forward on their rebuild and have seemingly become a contender in the NFC. As one of the youngest teams in the league, they have found a way to build almost entirely through the draft. They are incredibly deep at every offensive position and their defense is competitive with other top NFC defenses.
Detroit Lions 2024 Season Preview
The Detroit Lions finally realized their potential as an elite team in the NFC in 2023. Detroit went 12-5 and made it to the NFC Championship Game, before blowing a 17-point lead to the 49ers. Despite the disappointing end to the season, they are set up for long term success.
Denver Broncos 2024 Season Preview
The Denver Broncos are in the midst of an extensive rebuild that may have very well reached the turning point this offseason. Abandoning the Russell Wilson era was the first step in the right direction. There is no way to sugarcoat it, there were zero good moments from his time as a Bronco.
Dallas Cowboys 2024 Season Preview
The Cowboys’ winning window certainly isn’t closed, but if any year was their year, it would’ve been 2023. On top of disappointment, they have lost valuable players on both sides of the ball.
Cleveland Browns 2024 Season Preview
I have the Cleveland Browns finishing the 2024 season with a record of 9-8. This is not their ceiling, I could see them winning a few more games, but quarterback play is going to have to significantly improve, and their defense is going to need to produce at a historic rate.
Cincinnati Bengals 2024 Season Preview
The Cincinnati Bengals are coming off a down year in which they dealt with injuries and players underperforming. As the years have gone by in this new Bengals’ era, players are due to get paid.
Chicago Bears 2024 Season Preview
The Chicago Bears set themselves up nicely with two top picks in the 2024 Draft after making a trade with the Panthers last offseason. A team that was not able to unlock the gates to success has completely redesigned their unit. The Bears finished the season 7-10, but needed to raise their ceiling.
Carolina Panthers 2024 Season Preview
The Carolina Panthers have put themselves into one of the worst situations in the NFL. Lack of ownership combined with poor coaching has seen far too many players in Charlotte fail to reach their potential.
Buffalo Bills 2024 Season Preview
The Bills are going through a transition period. While their Super Bowl window is by no means closed, this is one of their weaker rosters, on paper, in the Josh Allen era.
Baltimore Ravens 2024 Season Preview
The Baltimore Ravens have had quite a bit of turnover both in their personnel and their roster. They lost Defensive Coordinator Mike McDonald as well as multiple position coaches. In terms of player losses, they also lost a ton.
Arizona Cardinals 2024 Season Preview
The Arizona Cardinals had a pivotal offseason in 2024. Their rebuild has officially begun and it looks like they are going to try and make it work with Kyler Murray leading the team. They were a putrid team in 2023 due to Murray’s absence, but with him coming back, the ceiling is much higher.
Atlanta Falcons 2024 Season Preview
The Atlanta Falcons had one of the most intriguing offseasons in the league. As a team with a weaker overall roster, they normally would not be in a position to compete, but being in the worst division in football has made them contenders to win the division.
New England Patriots 2024 Season Preview
The New England Patriots are the team that underwent the most changes during the offseason. They have replaced the great Bill Belichick with former Patriots’ linebacker, Jerrod Mayo, as their new head coach. They also added players such as DT Armon Watts, OT Chukwuma Okorafor, RB Antonio Gibson, LB Sione Takitaki, and WR KJ Osborn.
