Top 5 NFL Teams Most Likely to Regress in 2024
As the 2024 NFL season approaches, fans and analysts alike are buzzing with predictions and expectations. While some teams are poised to build on last year's successes, others might find it challenging to replicate their performances. Today, we're diving into the top five teams most likely to take a step back this season. Are your favorite teams on the list? Let's break it down.
1. Dallas Cowboys
Key Concerns:
- Lost Too Many Key Players: The Cowboys lost several crucial players and haven't adequately replaced them. Key departures include Tony Pollard, Tyron Smith, Tyler Biadasz, and Stephon Gilmore.
- Big Contracts Looming: The Cowboys have three significant contracts coming up. CeeDee Lamb is reportedly unhappy and has not shown up to camp while, Dak Prescott is on the final year of his contract, and Micah Parsons' contract extension is on the horizon.
- Decision Time: Decisions need to be made on veterans like Demarcus Lawrence and Zack Martin.
- Lame Duck Contracts: Both Mike McCarthy and Dak Prescott are on lame-duck contracts, adding pressure and uncertainty to the team’s future.
- Playoff Performances: The past four years have been marked by playoff flameouts, questioning the team's ability to perform under pressure.
2. Miami Dolphins
Key Concerns:
- Defensive Issues: The Dolphins' defense has been lacking. They've let some key pieces walk and need a stronger edge. Granted they have Jalen Ramsey and Xavien Howard, but they let Christian Wilkins walk.
- Offensive Line Problems: The offensive line has issues, which could hinder their offensive performance. The last thing a team with an injury-prone QB needs.
- Fitness and Power Balance: There is a concern that the team has too much finesse and not enough power, which could become a problem as the season progresses.
- Depth and Health: Depth and health have been problematic, and adjustments in these areas are essential for success. It's almost time to start looking at Mike McDaniel funny because there are times when he makes himself look a little silly by trying to be the biggest brain in football.
3. Buffalo Bills
Key Concerns:
- Roster Turnover: The Bills experienced significant roster turnover due to cap reasons and other factors. Key players like Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis, Jordan Poyer, Tre'Davious White, Micah Hyde, and Leonard Floyd are all critical to their success.
- Wide Receiver Room: The wide receiver room is young and unproven, which could lead to inconsistency in the passing game.
- Offensive Line: The offensive line remains a question mark, needing improvement to protect Josh Allen and establish a running game.
4. Minnesota Vikings
Key Concerns:
- Quarterback Situation: The Vikings face uncertainty with Kirk Cousins and Danielle Hunter both leaving. Trusting Sam Darnold and A Rookie JJ McCarthy isn't the best idea.
- Defense Overhaul: They are overhauling a defense that still gave up significant yardage, and the new lineup might not gel immediately.
- Running Game: The running game is questionable, and the offensive line needs help to establish a balanced attack.
- One-Score Games: The Vikings won a lot of one-score games last season, a trend that's hard to sustain. With questions at quarterback.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars
Key Concerns:
- Protecting Trevor Lawrence: Protecting their star quarterback has not been a strong suit, risking his health and effectiveness.
- Wide Receiver Consistency: Keeping a solid wide receiver group together has been inconsistent, impacting the passing game.
- Secondary and Pass Rush: The secondary still needs help, and the pass rush could use improvement.
- Roster Turnover: Key players such as Calvin Ridley, DJ Chark, Jamal Agnew, Zay Jones, K'Lavon Chaisson, Tre Herndon, and Rayshawn Jenkins are all factors in the team's changing dynamics.
As we gear up for the new NFL season, it's essential to recognize the challenges and changes each team faces. While these five teams showed promise last year, various factors could lead to a regression in their performance. Whether it's due to roster changes, contract uncertainties, or defensive and offensive challenges, these teams will need to address their weaknesses to maintain their competitive edge.

Sports is a community.
Hello everyone.
I do quite like sports. I love a few of them. Specifically baseball but also hockey. I am a pretty basic fan of football. I very lightly follow sports like basketball and soccer. Sports aside from that... I mean I'll watch them but in an extremely passive way.
Now that you know that I like sports.
I am currently working on a goal: To visit every MLB stadium in the country. Remember when I said specifically baseball? I love baseball. Obviously I have my favorite teams (The Mets being number one. Cleveland Guardians, Baltimore Orioles, Seattle Mariners, Cincinnati Reds, Detroit Tigers...) but what I'm finding out more and more is that when I go to a stadium... I can't help but be a fan of that team.
It's like going to a specific community/sub-section's place of power. Yes, people are very excited about whatever team is there. There will be signs, merchandise, and more themed around it. But aside from some people who are more toxic (There are always a few when communities get that big) there are always mostly people who just love the game.
When I'm sat at a game I'm usually sat around a pretty nice melting pot of people: Hardcore fans, people who are fans but aren't at the fully hardcore level, new fans, and people who were brought there but aren't "fans", per se. Everything in-between as well. But that doesn't matter when it comes to a good play or especially if the home team wins. In that celebration everyone comes together. (Ideally) there is no gate-keeping and even if it's just for a few minutes everyone is unified.
Sports "divides" us only in the sense that we literally will root for different teams sometimes. But at the end of the day most of us will still be able to bond over a love of the sport.
Okay before I go further, a trigger warning.
TW: Death, DUI, mourning/tragedy.
Remember too that I love hockey. I grew up a New York Islanders fan... then later in life I became a fan of the Seattle Kraken and the Buffalo Sabres. Finally I became a Columbus Blue Jackets fan.
To those who may not be involved in sports, the hockey community recently suffered a tragic loss. Columbus Blue Jackets' forward Johnny Gaudreau and his brother and Boston College Hockey player Matty Gaudreau. They were killed by a drunk driver while they were riding their bikes. They were in town for their sister's wedding.
Over the past few days I've been to a couple of vigils. I've been to memorials at the hockey arena. Johnny was only on CBJ for 2 years. Coincidentally I've only been a fan of CBJ for around 2 years. But even with that I could tell how special Johnny was as a player and as a person.
One thing that made me a CBJ fan is the community. To that effect so many people came out the past few days. So many posts, articles, photos, and words of support were offered. It was a beautiful sense of group mourning and commiserating.
What I didn't expect was the sports outside of hockey to get as involved as they did. Of course so many hockey teams wrote and shared letters of condolences. But also multiple baseball teams in the area/surrounding/nearby states held moments of silence. The local soccer team, The Columbus Crew, who has a close tie with the Blue Jackets, shared a moment of silence as well. So many examples of not only of hockey support but sport support as a whole.
Sports can divid us in the sense that we may root for different teams. We may follow different sports. But when push comes to shove sports is a community and it can come together. And it can be somber but beautiful.
Take care everyone.

MAD Parody Skit: iMcAfee
So there's a thread on Twitter and the Cartoon community where people make parodies of MAD skits in the modern day and I LOVE IT!
I’m glad that people are finally giving a show more of a spotlight than ever before, I love the fan-made parodies SO MUCH that I have to make this BADLY! This explains why I did this using paper…
Anyways, this skit is a parody of Nickelodeon’s hit show; iCarly, and ESPN’s current show; The Pat McAfee Show.

its never going to happen but i wish organisers of sports would go back to treating them like sports instead of like insane entertainment shows and oversaturating the market with endless shite tournaments
#we dont need the nations league and the conference league and the europa league and the club world cup and whatever fucking else#we dont need a billion tennis events with 2 3 4 every week happening at the same time#we dont need dozens of t20 franchises or whatever the fuck t10 is#I love sport i spend most of my time watching sport but even i get sick of never ending events#especially newer ones bc they come across as money grabbing gimmicks#which i realise is what they are but i dont like it!#sports talk

TERF shocked to discover that the real world is not an online echo chamber, and that instead the average woman either supports or just doesn’t care about trans people the way they do
#of course there are transphobes everywhere but they are not as prominent as their online presence#the average person who doesn’t care about trans people isn’t talking about it on twitter#they’re either not on it or are busy looking at the news and sports instead#and they actually represent a much bigger part of the population than the internet would suggest#because the average transphobe is so much louder online than an average trans supporter/indifferent person

do u watch any sports?
I watch mainly Hockey, but I like watching Ice Skating competitions and Roller Derby when I can as well. I don't follow any teams or anything, but I do enjoy watching those different sports. Use to watch some ballroom dance competitions as well when I was younger, but that's because I did classes and participated in some myself. All in all I'm more of a let me play the sport rather than watch the sport kind of guy. Was a shot put and discus player??? for my schools track and field team back in middle school. I played football with my cousins a lot and street hockey a bit too. Tbh I was mainly a theater kid though. I did a lot of theater productions and have been told I'm good at acting and I should try to get a career in it and stuff. Personally I like to do it as a hobby so never wanted to make money off it. Just like the Ballroom Dancing. I was a quick learner and real good at it, but it was a hobby at the end of the day so never went far with it. Opps sorry for rambling. Do you watch many sports? Do you follow any teams yourself?

Why do we segregate sports by sex?
Disclaimer: this video was intended as a fun look at the inconsistent logic of gender segregation in sports, but as a short-form video, it naturally does not go into much nuance. One thing I want to make clear is that I do believe we should be making sports more inclusive to trans and intersex athletes, and it seems to me that a great starting point would be to stop gender segregating sports that really don’t need it. Like archery!
#archer#archery#sports#olympics#one day I’ll work up the courage to talk about gender in pole dance#but not this day
