FINALLY, WE BACK. ELI IS DUE FOR ANOTHER RING BABY
So we should expect Giants fans hating on him for the first half of the season?
deejay, i love you. man, eli is going to be the reason i set the persian gulf on fire this year

Did Denver make some big changes over offseason?
Yeah but they never went Bound for Street

NFC West: Seattle Seahawks
Wild Cards: Arizona Cardinals, Green Bay Packers
AFC Championship: New England over San Diego
NFC Championship: Green Bay over New Orleans
Superbowl: Green Bay over New England
Coach of the Year: Bruce Arians, Arizona Cardinals
While not star-studded on paper, the Cardinals may quietly have the most complete team aside from Seattle in the West, and they're in very good hands with Arians. For an award based on teams that surprise people, few picks could be safer than this one.
Comeback POY: Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots
It's simple enough - if he stays healthy, he wins it. This, of course, is a huge "if" - but I choose to believe (not because I want to).
Offensive POY: Eddie Lacy, Green Bay Packers
Run him into the fuckin ground. Might as well. RBs don't last long anyway.
Defensive POY: Patrick Peterson, Arizona Cardinals
Flashy, on an up-and-coming team, and the voters might get tired of picking Watt.
Offensive ROY: Terrence West, Cleveland Browns
My money is on him winning the starting RB job by the 3rd week and tearing it up. TOWSON
Defensive ROY: CJ Mosley, Baltimore Ravens
Not as homer as it might seem - he is going to be starting, he has strong support in the rest of the front 7, it's a defensive scheme built for ILB success, and he's looked damn good in the preseason.
NFL MVP: probably fuckin SATB if gronk stays healthy. ugh.
Bold Predictions:
1. Peyton Manning shows signs of slowing down and the Denver defense continues to struggle despite attempts to fill in holes. Montee Ball isn't the hope they need and coughs up the pigskin too much. The Broncos squeak into the playoffs but suffer an early exit.
2. The Philadelphia Eagles crash down to Earth as half their players get injured and Foles starts throwing INTs. Chip Kelly eats away his fury.
3. The Seahawks defense rallies up record level penalties and the team will only make the playoffs because their competition got themselves injured or suspended
4. Chicago puts up a strong early showing - enough to end up winning the division - but begins sputtering out toward the end, entering the playoffs ice cold. Meanwhile, Green Bay heats up off the backs oof Rodgers and Lacy, and despite a shit defense, hands it to every contender along the way to the Superbowl with a dynamic offense and some smart coaching.
5. Someone gets paralyzed on the field Jason Street style and it is probably going to be a Bear
Rams picked up Case Keenum. Just throwing it out there.

People say a Super Bowl rematch can't happen. Well, it can, it's just statistically unlikely. It is, however, more statistically likely for the best two teams play in the Super Bowl than any other single result. The Seahawks are still, IMHO, the best team in the league. They've lost a little, but their closest competitors (the 49ers) seem to be in worse shape. The schedule could get them, though, as 10 games against the NFC and AFC West could prove difficult to navigate, and I don't particularly like the Seahawks' chances on the road in January against either the Saints or Packers, the two teams that are most likely to beat them there.
The Broncos still seem to be the class of the AFC, although the Patriots are right there. Anybody other than these two teams coming out of the AFC would be a significant surprise to me, wheres the NFC has 4-5 teams I could see making a run. I see the Eagles as a potential dark horse, given their schedule could give them a big edge towards home field advantage in the NFC.
it would take an act of god(del) for the seahawks not to repeat. luckily we have seen that act all preseason. that means BEARS SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS
