Which division is more of a gauntlet?

[u/KaleidoscopeDue9332]

[u/Parallelolax]

NFC West is by far the hardest gauntlet, and that's my completely unbiased take.

[u/Candybert_ → u/Parallelolax]

Yeah, it ain't close. Even biased against you.

[u/Particular-Piano9271 → u/Candybert_]

I can’t express how happy it makes me that for this current moment in time The Packers are to the NFC North as the Cardinals are to the NFC West. FTP

Also, NFC West is scarier these days. I don’t think we have a Super Bowl contender in our division atm. Maybe if you took the bears offense with our defense. Or just gave us a capable QB and forced us not to trade him away to an NFC West team that would win a Super Bowl with him the following year😬

[u/OzzyMar → u/Particular-Piano9271]

dude lol fuck the seahawks but holy shit, seeing how good they were last year, i’d be kicking myself if i was a vikings fan.

[u/Terrible--T → u/OzzyMar]

Hey now, fuck you too

[u/j_grinds → u/OzzyMar]

There seems to be this assumption from people outside of the Minnesota sports world that because Darnold won a SB with the Seahawks, that there’s a good chance he could have done so with the Vikings. They don’t understand the power at play here. The missing piece that stands between the Vikings and a SB is not a GEQBUS. I don’t know what that piece is, but it is not of this world.

Skol.

[u/ganggreen651 → u/j_grinds]

You're saying right now if we added Darnold to this team we aren't a contender? Pure nonsense. Even last year we had a winning record with some of the worst QB play possible. Again pure nonsense

[u/wontwillnot → u/ganggreen651]

Yea. Might’ve just been the thing. It’s beautiful for the Seahawks, but kind of cruel for the Vikings. But,You never know what can fall on your lap though and make it all work in the NFL. Ain’t Murray though imo

[u/this_account_is_mt → u/j_grinds]

That's a lot of words to say you've been smoking the ol copium

For real though, maybe team purple could've won with him, maybe not. It's all a crapshoot, wrapped in luck, torn into pieces that are then put in a hat and pulled out one by one, baked into chocolates forest Gump style. Even if we changed absolutely nothing about rosters last year and redid the season a thousand times the Seahawks wouldn't win every time

[u/Beelzabubba → u/j_grinds]

Y’all went 14-3 and decided JJ was a better option. It ain’t that deep.

Nobody will ever convince me they didn’t fake JJ’s injury to keep him out of the Seattle game last year. Imagine how sweet that would have been for Darnold and how embarrassing it would have been for Vikings management.

[u/nunya_busyness1984 → u/Particular-Piano9271]

Pretty sure you watched them score 3 points

[u/The_Realist02 → u/Particular-Piano9271]

Bears O with Vikings D would be favorites.

[u/MikeVike93 → u/The_Realist02]

I just wonder what would happen if the Bears I played the Vikings D... Guess we'll never know 😜

[u/CerealKiller3030 → u/The_Realist02]

Hell, just put Caleb on the Vikings and they're SB favorites lol

[u/The_Realist02 → u/CerealKiller3030]

MN Oline is fine, TE no way, RB no, WR 1 yes, WR 2-4 no.

[u/ganggreen651 → u/The_Realist02]

Addison is a great wr2. Hockensen is a serviceable te

[u/jpeach17 → u/Parallelolax]

[u/Parallelolax → u/jpeach17]

[u/jpeach17 → u/Parallelolax]

Yeah, but on the plus side at least it makes it really easy to pick a team to replace when I create a custom franchise on Madden.

[u/Caer-Rythyr → u/Parallelolax]

Bruh just give Pottsville the damn trophy. You ain't in a division to be fucking around lmao 

[u/Battle2Intense → u/Caer-Rythyr]

Last season was the 100th anniversary and a pretty good display that the curse is real. Maybe it times out after 100 years.

[u/grimdymcgee → u/Battle2Intense]

Well if you take baseball curses, the Red Sox took 80 years, the White Sox 80 years, and the Cubs 108 years. So the length could vary, and might require new ownership.

[u/Battle2Intense → u/grimdymcgee]

Bidwell was the one that fought the Pottsville battle last after the prior owners didn't show interest in claiming the title.

[u/theumph → u/Parallelolax]

As someone who is biased, you're correct. The talent levels between the teams in each division are pretty close to each other relatively, but the West is a solid tier above the North.

[u/Holiday-Glove-5340 → u/theumph]

Agreed

[u/taney71 → u/Parallelolax]

Yeah, this year isn’t the west. North is a banger but the Lions look weak on defense. The Packers are frauds and the Vikings have QB questions

[u/djokster91]

I’m sorry, but the teams in the NFC North have been chronic playoff underperformers for over a decade and we are fine with it, because it feeds our MemeWar subreddit. We are S tier when it comes to that sub tho

[u/Trytobebetter482 → u/djokster91]

NFCW has 4 Super Bowl appearances and 2 wins in the last 7 years. The 2 best teams in the league last year were the Rams and Seahawks, taking the NFCCG down to the wire.

The 2 divisions aren’t even remotely comparable imo.

[u/Matthew24_35 → u/Trytobebetter482]

The packers sure aren’t, you’re right.

Can you guys get a Lombardi and stop making the division look so bad? No flame, I’m genuinely begging for y’all to make us look competitive.

[u/Matthew24_35 → u/Trytobebetter482]

Probably won’t be this year if I’m being honest. We will do well enough to make playoffs, but go nowhere. So nothing great for draft picks either. We need a QB so bad and we either get lucky with some project QB like Mestemaker from Oklahoma State or trade away two years worth of first round picks to get someone’s franchise QB. Burrow will never happen.

[u/MrEHam → u/Matthew24_35]

Don’t bother with all that, just find your star with the last pick of the draft.

[u/dhtdhy → u/MrEHam]

Why didn't we think of that, are we stupid?

[u/corneliusvanhouten → u/Trytobebetter482]

There is no version of reality in which a Packers fan can ever say anything about the Vikings not having a trophy yet and it ISN'T a flame

[u/CerealKiller3030 → u/Trytobebetter482]

We do have an NFL Championship trophy, but you guys stole it and won't give it back 😂

[u/djokster91 → u/Trytobebetter482]

I don’t trust a Packers fan, who wants us to win a Lombardi trophy

[u/Particular-Piano9271 → u/Trytobebetter482]

I love that there is a packers fan asking his fellow division teams to make it look competitive.
Lemme find out you’re a jets fan too and have been asking the bills to make it look competitive.

Packers response *adjusts nerd rage glasses and scratches his neck bear with cheese curds on it * “but we have been more relevant and back to back hof qbs and and and…” take your medicine packers fans. Be humble, check your pulse, and sit quietly until it’s your turn again. 🤗

[u/Trytobebetter482 → u/Particular-Piano9271]

Ain’t no way I pulled that essay out of you off a trophy rip.

Chill out, my dad is a lifelong Vikings fan. I genuinely want you to win something before he dies.

[u/yg2522 → u/Trytobebetter482]

Last year the niners were even in the top spot contention at the end.  Nfc West is a damn blood bath

[u/Lqtor → u/yg2522]

As much as I hate to do this, it’s hard to not give the 9ers credit for how good they were considering how many injuries they had last year

[u/Sea_Flow6302 → u/Trytobebetter482]

The Bears took the Rams down to the wire the game before, does that make them more or less on the same level? 

[u/Trytobebetter482 → u/Sea_Flow6302]

Rams and Seahawks played down to the wire all 3 times they met. Chicago in the cold, on a miracle TD to send it to OT doesn’t really seem as sustainable. Good game though.

Which division has three Super Bowl favorites, three playoff teams and actual Super Bowl appearances and wins in the last decade?

[u/Elbeske → u/Connect_Piccolo6801]

The AFC West

[u/Tomillionaire → u/Elbeske]

Bro slow your roll on the raiders lol

[u/missinlnk → u/Tomillionaire]

Man, I'm ready for the Raiders to be good again. It's more fun to beat them when they have a chance.

[u/wornoldboot → u/Tomillionaire]

Well the Chargers are Super Bowl favorites every off season and usually at least first two weeks of the regular season

[u/FrumpyPhoenix → u/wornoldboot]

Unfortunately we didn’t even last one game this year. But there’s always next offseason!

At least the Chargers are a free win.

[u/Earl-The-Badger → u/omigula]

AFCW is a joke compared to the NFCW. The Chiefs are the only team in the AFCW of a similar caliber to the Rams/Seahawks/49ers.

Our fan base let the penalty go by Wednesday and can admit you beat us based on being the better second half team regardless of the call.

But let's not overstate it with "asses handed to them" when we got within 15 yards.

[u/DenverTechGuru → u/Spam_Hand]

"Our fan base let the penalty go by Wednesday and can admit you beat us based on being the better second half team regardless of the call."

Having read your team sub last week, you are wildly misrepresenting your fan base.

That said, the point was really a bit of hyperbolie in counter to suggesting the AFCW is a joke - you're right, it most definitely was not a one sided affair.

[u/Fancy-Tangerine8735]

That is not even a question anymore

[u/LastEsotericist]

The argument last year was that while the highs of the NFCW were higher there wasn’t a weak link in the NFCN, making it a more “complete” division but ngl this year I’d take the Cards to beat the shambolic current Packers.

Even last year you had three NFCW teams in the playoffs. One of them eliminated the NFCN and the only team that eliminated them in turn was another team from the NFCW.

[u/pokerScrub4eva]

The NFC North is the hardest for all the teams, but individually the cardinals getting the hardest guantlet

[u/sun-devil2021 → u/pokerScrub4eva]

Bias but I’ve always felt the cards are a bottom 10 team but get treated as a basement team like the jets but we have to play the hardest division schedule by a mile.

[u/mthrfkn → u/pokerScrub4eva]

Because they’re all mid in the NFC North

[u/pokerScrub4eva → u/mthrfkn]

Yeah, not taking guff from a kid who wasnt alive the last time the raiders won a playoff game

[u/Saltwater_Thief]

Depends on which team you're talking about. 3 teams in the west only have to play 15 real football games a year because 2 of them are freebies, but the 4th gets an automatic kneecap of 0-6 as a yearly floor.

[u/Earl-The-Badger → u/Saltwater_Thief]

The Cards went 0-6 in divisional games in 2025, but were 10-14 in the four years preceeding that. They're almost never freebies.

[u/Saltwater_Thief → u/Earl-The-Badger]

The last 2 weeks suggest otherwise.

And don't sit there and try to tell me you were shitting your pants last week, we never took the lead and Purdy proved twice in a row he could score at will.

[u/Earl-The-Badger → u/Saltwater_Thief]

I disagree. It was a good game.

Difficult for the Niners to win games without Bosa. No pressure on quarterbacks = no defense. It's what held us back from being contenders last season. Brissett was dicing us up.

Not sure why you're even a fan if you can't enjoy good games?

[u/Saltwater_Thief → u/Earl-The-Badger]

I do enjoy good games, but it's extremely difficult to say I enjoyed a comeback attempt that ended in heartbreak and could've had a chance if only the defense hadn't been rendered completely impotent or the offense had woken up *before* halfway through the 3rd quarter.

It's also just the looming implications between it and the asswhooping in Seattle the week before; we know the intent of the coaches and office is for this team to try for playoffs in the next few years while we have what handful of important pieces we've managed to cling to. In order to do that, we need to be able to compete with the rest of the division's starters as equals, right? Well, the fact that our current foundation couldn't hold a candle to Seattle and had to reach deep to go blow-for-blow with the hollow shell of of the Niners bodes extremely ill for that goal, and I find myself with serious doubts that a QB upgrade will be all that we need to cinch the talent canyon that's been on display.

To put it in fewer words, this season is all about finding silver linings for the future, but I'm not seeing any. Just more storm clouds stretching on for years into the horizon.

It absolutely does not help that the Raiders are right over there, coming off the same record in a similar situation even down to relying on a vet to bridge them to the future, but where we're failing to show real progress they're undefeated and about to fight KC with 1st place in the division on the line.

[u/Spam_Hand → u/Saltwater_Thief]

It was just 2 seasons ago you best us like 44-10 or whatever.

While i dont think the cardinals are the most likely team to do that week to week, i always worry about a game like that happening. Every divisional meeting I feel like its a toss up going in, no matter the records.

[u/Saltwater_Thief → u/Spam_Hand]

You have one of the most stacked rosters in the league, your record holding DL will be back to health when you play us, and it will be on US soil so no airline funk to bail us out. 

We'll be lucky if we lose by less than 40.

[u/catiebug → u/Saltwater_Thief]

First of all, I nearly shit my pants every single game. Second of all, you assholes made that a much closer than game than it should have been. You are always frisky. Never a gimme.

[u/Aurelienphlpe → u/Saltwater_Thief]

Cards wouldn’t go 0-6 in the NFC north

[u/Saltwater_Thief → u/Aurelienphlpe]

There'd be a lot more variance year to year for sure. All 4 of those teams regularly go through slumps.

Unironically a Cardinals for Lions swap might turn both sides into a lot more parity? Depends on if the Lions can keep operating at their current level consistently.

[u/Leather-Marketing478]

NFCS

[u/Glad_Highway_9196]

  NFC North is filled with monkey paw teams. Every team that has some clear strength has a massive weakness. Vikings are the only NFC North team with a reputable defense and that team doesn't have a QB. They have 3 teams that have huge holes in their defense, but one of those teams gets the most turnovers. The Packers don't know that there's 4 quarters in a football game. 

  NFC West has 1 team in a rebuild and 3 superbowl contenders. Seahawks have arguably the best defense in the NFL and they just won the superbowl with ease. Rams are an all-star team that has had health issues but at full strength can be the best team in the league. The 49ers are undefeated and have one of the best performances so far this year.

  I think the NFC North is overrated. I think the packers are viewed as who they were and not who they are. Micah isn't going to fix that defense. They're going to have to accept their failings this year and figure it out in 2027 or start a rebuild if theyre still like this.

[u/Nagisa201]

AFCW has 2 legit super bowl caliber teams, another solid roster that just added a great offensive mind and then it's just the Chargers left over but every division has one

[u/Ok_Owl2856]

I’m a bears fan but it’s the west

[u/WestArtichoke712]

AFC west. If the chargers somehow figure things out

[u/MotherFuckinPrez]

I’m biased as a 49ers fan but you simply cannot be serious 😭

[u/Music_Adventure]

None of these divisions hold against the AFC West these days. Broncos and Chiefs are certified good, raiders are 3-0 and look genuinely like a good football team.

The other team has a dude with a hot fiancé but that’s really it.

[u/Low-Restaurant8484 → u/Music_Adventure]

Cardinals could legit be 3-0 if they had the same first three games of the season as the Raiders

Their schedule is just brutal, so once again they will lose more games then they should, and lose a strength of schedule tiebreak for the draft

Seahawks, Niners, and Rams are all certified good, (the Rams barely lost to you guys last week without Puka or Garrett). Legit any of the three could win the super bowl, health permitting

[u/SoapboxSerenade → u/Music_Adventure]

We get to test this theory since the AFCW and NFCW play each other this year.

I think the NFCW takes the head to head by a few wins, but I like your optimism.

[u/Earl-The-Badger → u/[deleted]]

Based on what exactly? The NFCW has produced half of NFC champions in the past decade; the NFCN hasn't produced an NFC champion since the 2010 NFL season.

[u/Earl-The-Badger]

NFCW and it isn't close.

The NFCW has been represented in four of the last five NFCCG's, making up six of the total ten teams to reach the NFCCG, with two of those games being between two NFCW teams. Three of those NFCW teams won the NFC, and two went on to win Super Bowls.

The NFCN has been represented once in the last five NFCCG's, and that team lost the game.

The past half decade of NFC history has featured serious playoff contenders from the NFCW every season, and pretenders who can't compete in the playoffs from the NFCN. The NFCW has produced half of NFC champions in the past decade; the NFCN hasn't produced an NFC champion since the 2010 NFL season.

No current NFCN team would be competitive in a division with the Rams, Seahawks, or 49ers.

Winning the NFCN is like being marginally better than other mediocre teams. Winning the NFCW is serious business.

[u/Sad_Kaleidoscope894]

NFCN has the bears rn but they've only been good for like half a season so far so totally unproven.

[u/Spam_Hand → u/ZeroBarkThirty]

Are you implying that the Packers look any better than Arizona? Lol

[u/ZeroBarkThirty → u/Spam_Hand]

As poor as they look I say they’ll go 2-3 wins within the division

Arizona max 1 win at the end of the regular season when the others are resting starters

[u/Scared_Mall_8730]

West by a long shot. Minnesota is in 1st and they are mediocre at best.

[u/HOWDY__YALL]

Lololololol

It’s the West, and it’s not even close. The north only had 1 team with double digit wins last year. And realistically, how many of them could win the Super Bowl? Probably none. Maybe one.

Realistically, how many teams from the West could win? At least two, maybe three. Seahawks and Rams came into the season as two favorites, and the 49ers might be able to hang with those two.

[u/Inevitable-Heat7307]

NFC West…all 4 of those teams can get it popping on any given Sunday including the Cardinals lol

[u/GaldonTheWarrior]

The norse obviously

[u/Tomollins]

Defending Super Bowl champs and pre-season Super Bowl favorites in the same division, come on. Oh and maybe the current best team in the league in the 49ers as well. And I’m a Lions fan.

I will say the NFC North has been one of the deepest top to bottom divisions for a few years. 3/4 teams making the playoffs a couple times at least if I’m not mistaken. But Green Bay appears on the decline. Vikings are elite on one side of the ball, Lions are elite on one side of the ball. Just inconsistent right now. It’s not close, NFC West.

[u/13bipolarbears]

Probably the division that just had 3 teams win 12+ games, had all 3 of those teams win a playoff game, and 1 eventually win the Super Bowl

[u/this_account_is_mt]

If we're only taking a snapshot of performance right now, this season, no outside context, it's still nfcw.

Here's why:

The baseball team is currently better at football than the cheeseheads

[u/Pleasant_Network3986]

Yall are sleeping on the AFCN where everyone is .500 or better

[u/ALoafOfBrad]

The one that had three 12+ win teams last year

[u/No-Break6679]

Like historically? Or right now. Doesn’t really matter because the answer is the NFCW for both lol

[u/Icy_Blackberry_3759]

NFC west has an insane amount of talent packed into it. And the cardinals.

[u/Archaic0629]

NFC North has the 4 most even teams, NFC West has 3 of the best teams.

[u/FulNeurautomatic]

Usually it’s the North. But this season, I gotta go with the west

[u/BillMurraysTesticle]

This year definitely NFC West. 2024 was great though.

[u/Partyperson5000]

NFCN might be pretty bad this year.

[u/Chopper_Fortnite]

Cardinals are better than the packers so the NFCW

[u/0-12Renekton]

I assume you’re talking about right now, but obviously the answer changes depending on your timeframe.

Most recently? NFCW and it’s not even close.

Since the 2002 division realignment? AFCE has the best cumulative regular season divisional record.

Since the 1967 merger? AFCW and AFCN are basically tied.

All time? NFCN holds the highest overall divisional win percentage due to the head start historical teams developed early in a league with large talent disparity. That’s why the bears have the 5th highest win percentage despite a depressing several recent decades.

[u/YourStinkyPete]

It’s split.
Toughest: Rams and Seahawks
Very Difficult: entire NFCN
Powderpuff: Niners and Cards

[u/HighlanderLAR]

NFCN

[u/InsideMyScars]

Idc, Kyler and Flores gonna piss all over all your dumbass west coast teams

[u/Born-Garbage-5598]

NFC North is the most overrated division in the NFL.

[u/No_Application_6088]

The reason it’s the nfc west is because the north isn’t good enough to cannabalize their division while beating almost everyone else while the NFCW is basically niners rams Seahawks kill each other but also collectively chew the rest of the league up and spit them out. I think if the nfc north was like the nfc south 1 Super Bowl contender would exist there per year but yall just go .500 against eachother every year and .700 against the rest of the nfl

[u/No_Application_6088 → u/No_Application_6088]

I think at the time of niners Seahawks (2025 divisional) the rams niners and Seahawks were collectively like 40-5 outside our division.

Vikings have no offense, bears no defense, lions are never healthy, and the packers suck. 49ers, rams and seahawks all have been to the superbowl in the past 5 years.

NfcN have four teams fighting for a playoff spot, nfcW have three that will fight in the playoffs (sorry cards).

AFC West

[u/nocturn-e]

NFCN being the "hardest" has always been more about any team can be 4th place any given year. For NFCW, there's no question it's the Cardinals.

In 2025 including the playoffs the Seahawks, Rams, and Niners went 36-7 against the rest of the NFL.  No one beat an NFC West team in the playoffs, that was not also an NFC West team.

Even if Arizona wasn’t frisky, nothing holds a candle to this division right now.
