What on earth makes you guys think that Dallas or NYG is even a contender for the NFC East title? The Redskins have the best recievers in the NFC east, if not the NFC. They have an elite all-pro defense.
Four loaded running backs, one of the best tight ends in the NFC, and the Hall of Fame 3 super bowl winning coach Joe Gibbs. You people who think TO and the cowboys, or one of the Manning choke brothers has any shot of making the bowl this year you are insane.
When the big deal is on the line, Manning’s choke. Don’t even get me started on TO.
NFC Playoffs
N- Chicago
E- Washington
S- Carolina
W- Seattle
Wildcards NYG, TB
AFC Playoffs
N- Pittsburg
E- New England
S- Jacksonville
w- Denver

It’s fine to be optimistic about your team, but anyone picking NYG or CIN has completely ignored their ridiculously brutal schedules.
Don’t be surprised if PHI finishes ahead of NYG, and CIN misses the playoffs completely.

well, i’m an NFL fan and Cincinnati is not really my team, although I did like watching them last year and I like seeing bad teams turn it around. But I am unimpressed with a lot of the AFC, so I go with Cincy. I kind of see being what Indy was last year. If you recall, Indy schedule was brutal.
But a lot of those teams turned out to be not quite as good as we thought and Indy won a ton of games and was undefeated fairly late. I look at what Cincinnati did on the defensive side of the ball and that’s what kind of puts me on them.
Sam Adams is going to occupy people up front and Dexter Jackson is big upgrade at safty. Jonathan Joseph is the nickel CB, big upgrade from last year. I think Ahmad Brooks will be starting in the middle before the second game of the year. Also, Medeiu Williams missed all of last year at FS and he’s back healthy.
I think they’ll go 11-5 or 12-4 and make the playoffs. I just see them as having a good a shot as anyone once they get there. Better, in my view. So I picked 'em. Plus, I put $250 on 'em to win a few months back in Vegas when they were a 12-1 pick. I’m sure those odds have worsened since Palmer came back looking good.

I personally think the Patriots are going to make an unprecedented move and just win all the divisions, AFC and NFC, and then play themselves, offense vs. defense, in the superbowl and draw 14-14 in the best game of football ever witnessed by mankind. And just to make things sweeter, the Dolphins will play so poorly that the NFL will institute relegation and send them to the CFL or NFL Europe. But maybe that’s just me.;)[/quote]
Wow, you read my mind. Except, that Tom Brady will be the first player to run for a touchdown, take a kickoff return for a touchdown, throw for a touchdown and then catch his own pass for a 2 point conversion. And then, after pretty much
winning the Bowl on his own, in the 4th quarter he will play defence and have 2 quarterback sacks (sacking himself) and then tip his own pass and intercept it for a touchdown.
These people who have miami winning the division nust be on crack or taking too much Spike. Culpepper is good, but he had Randy Moss, and miami was an 8 and 8 team
last year. The patriots gave them the last game.
I wish, but don’t have any plans as of yet, which typically means I’m either not going to any, or am going to have to pay out of my ass to try to get tickets…
I just went to their preseason game against the Eagles, which is a poor excuse for saying ‘I went to a Steelers game’, but what can ya do…
Good Lord…I just looked on SI.com, and they have Miami making it all the way to Super Bowl XLI. Yeah, just like the Cardinals were going to surprise everyone last year and make the playoffs.
AND they have Cincinnati finishing 8-8, SD sliding all the way to 7-9, and the ENTIRE NFC East finishing at 9-7. I just don’t understand those guys. I think they put a monkey at a keyboard and let it type out their predictions.
Ok, the Bears D is good. But your offense stinks! If the D doesn’t hold the opposing team to less than 14 pts, the Bears lose. That offense can’t score more than 14 pts. You have no QB, barely a WR that’s worth a damn and your RBs are getting injured during their physicals! How does that happen?
Listen up jerk, the 14 points the Bears do score come from the Defense and special teams! 14 points is a lot more credit than I’d give our offense.
AAAHAHAHAHAHA
Regardless, The Bears will win the superbowl. The Packers Suck.
How about Charles Woodson Monday?? I bet Oakland is rolling on the floor in laughter.

Listen up dickweek, I agree that 14 pts. is more credit than I give the Packers offense! LOL
I think if the Bears were in any other division they wouldn’t make the playoffs. But since they are in the awful NFC North they will make the playoffs by winning that piss poor division.
Yeah, Charles Woodson, great signing. Actually, I wasn’t to happy about that when they signed him. Well, I didn’t mind that they signed him, they just overpayed his ass. Oh well, we’ll see how it goes this season.
If the Giants defense stays healthy, they will win the superbowl then go into a time machine to battle the mongol hordes, and defeat them. They will find Ghengis Khan cowering in the tent of his concubines(sp?) Have their way with his women and then tie each of his legs to Jeremy Shockey, and Michael Strahan as they run east & west splitting him in twain.

I’m convinced that these guys really don’t know anything about sports and they make stupid predictions just to get a rise out of people.
Or they make these dumb predictions on the off chance that they do happen and then they can be all “i predicted that, i’m a genius.”

The only way Chicago will ever score 27 points is if the other team lies down and dies, or walks off the field letting Chicago play themselves.
How the hell will the entire NFC East be 9-7? I’m assuming they think all the teams will split in the division games? Ya whatever.
Just wait and see this season. By the end of it, all of you will be singing along with me. “Hail to the Redskins”

Have you seen your team play? More importantly, have you seen your offense play? Yeah, neither have I! They’ve been on the field but that’s about it. They aren’t going to go anywhere with Brunell at QB. Sure, you have the Offensive Coordinator, you have the head coach, a nice RB core, upgraded WRs but Brunell kills your offense.
If Portis goes down can Duckett and Betts step up and fill in? If teams key on stopping Moss can Randle El and Lloyd step up? I just don’t see it happening. Too many question marks surrounding the Skins to make a Super Bowl run.
But that’s just my opinion. But, if they do make a run I hope to hell that Moss has a good season because I have him as one of my fantasy players! haha
The league is so wrapped up in parody that it’s too hard to call. Espcecially in the NFC.
I think the Lions will win the NFC North, though.
And San Diego is going to win the AFC west. Denver is getting old, Jake isn’t who they need at QB. I predict SD takes Denver down both times they play, thanks to Merriman and the rest of that lethal defense…
Lacking the recievers he has this year, Brunell took us to the second round of the playoffs last year. He can get the job done. Furthermore, keep in mind that the last time Joe Gibbs won a super bowl, he lost every single pre-season game. You’re gonna tell me that Randle-El and Lloyd aren’t going to be able to step up? Of course they are.
They already have at their previous teams. Last skins winning super bowl team had 3 all pro recievers. Art Monk, Gary Clark and Ricky Sanders. Coached by Joe Gibbs. With a weak quarterback, Mark Rypken. Well check this out, now we have Lloyd, Randle El, and Moss. Coached by Joe Gibbs, with a weak quarterback Mark Brunell. Doesn’t this seem awfully similar?
