NFL Preseason Thread *Predictions/Discussions*

[Ryany]

I threw a few bold ones in there mainly because I didn't want to have the same list as everyone else.

NFC East: Dallas
NFC North: Minnesota
NFC South: Tampa Bay
NFC West: Seattle
Wild Cards: New York / Carolina

AFC East: New England
AFC North: Cleveland
AFC South: Indianapolis
AFC West: San Diego
Wild Cards: Jacksonville and Pittsburgh

Brett Favre will cause enough distractions to make Green Bay have a losing season

Biggest Bust: Peyton Manning --- I'm very worried he could end up not being 100% by the start of the season and end up having a subpar season for his standards. It could be me just being paranoid, but I figured I'd put some bold ones.

Rookie of the year: Darren McFadden

MVP: Tom Brady

Best Record: New England @ 12-4 (lots of parity)

Super Bowl: New England vs. Seattle

Superbowl Champ: New England wins the year after their best team got upset (similar to the Colts a few years back)

why does everyone sleep on the panthers? the cardiac cats are back mother facckkkersss! delhomme is back + THE MOOSE WHAAAAT!
you are all fuckin insane if u think the aints or tampagay is gonna win nfc south,

[Cephius]

First of all, I'm really having a hard time stomaching all this Dallas love. They're the NFL's version of the Yankees. Only you can't buy championships if your team isn't anchored by good role players and a star who isn't a choke artist. LOOKING AT YOU TONY HOMO.

I'm a Giant fan and I can't agree with this. First of all, there's no salary cap in baseball, so you have to give credit where it's due. Dallas is consistently a contender almost every year. Secondly, it wasn't Romo who choked in that game, it was the Dallas defense who let Eli and company march down the field for a TD right before halftime. That completely changed the complexion of the game. Just like Tom Brady didn't choke in the Super Bowl (he left the field with a lead) I don't think you can blame Romo for the loss either. Much like it isn't A-rod's fault that the Yankees haven't won anything with him there, one guy != whole team. Just sayin.

[Mertron]

Have they flipped a coin to decide who the QB is yet?

They did, Grossman won. However all it means is he started with the first team the first day of practice, he and Orton will alternate days they work with the first team the rest of camp, probably through 2 preseason games too.

[Headspace]

I hear they're going to do this during the regular season too. If da bears win the coin toss, Grossman starts, if the other team wins, Orton.

[Tythera]

shit if they make it in to like the playoffs it's like they won the Superbowl!


fucking ford.... well maybe we'll atleast have a winning record this year...

One can always hope but I'm not counting on it >.> Sucks growing up ~25 minutes from the Silverdome only to have crap play in it the whole time I was at my parents.

[archibaldcrane]

Also, Jim Sorgi is going to impress people as the Colts backup QB in the preseason, you heard it here first. Mainly because he's from Wisconsin.

He's the new Matt Hasslebeck.

You're not giving enough credit to Eli for that drive. Like you said, the Giants NEEDED those points to keep the game in reach. When the Cowboys NEEDED that last drive from Romo, he threw an INT. And you can't tell me he couldn't have scored with our D-Line pressuring him, because the dude makes his living evading DE's and making big plays on the fly, and he didn't/couldn't when the pressure was on him. It's the reason why Tom Brady is Tom motherfucking Brady. It's also the reason why A-Rod will never be Derek Jeter.

Edit:
And are you forgetting that Romo was 100% at fault when his team lost to the Seahawks the year before?

Of course Eli gets a ton of credit, but there were also something like 50 seconds left in the half, and the defense probably just needed 1 stop in that whole drive to end it, but they didn't. I hate the Cowboys, I couldn't have been happier to see them lose to the Giants, but I still can't blame one guy for the results of an entire game. Did Romo throw the last pick? Yeah. Did the defense let them down too? Yup.

[Tyche]

How many people are we going to have for fantasy this year? It seems like a lot of interested people. How we gonna pick leagues? Probably have to do 2 leagues again. I really want to be in Deejay's league.

[Akiyama]

Yeah, I definitely want to do it. I have a team on both Yahoo, Fox, and ESPN as we speak. I'm going to do multiple yahoo/espn ones though, so depending on where we go, let me know.

[Deejay]

Did Romo throw the last pick? Yeah. Did the defense let them down too? Yup.

Fair enough.

Oh and does Yahoo still charge for a stat tracker? ESPN has it for free this year so it might be a better bet. I always liked Yahoo's interface though, so don't really mind either way.

[Tyche]

I'm ready to join, but we need a commish! Also going to have to somehow decide who's in which league. Fucking stat stracker is $10 for yahoo again. It's only $10, but still >.>

[Akiyama]

10$ too much, but I can do without stat tracker. I don't mind. I just want in a BG League. I remember Tyr did some Fantasy stuff last year. Where's he?

[tyven]

im definitely in for fantasy again this year. my playoff collapse last year was completely unacceptable.

also... im not a panthers fan but i do enjoy all of their fans that post on this board, even miz with all of his dallas slandering.

[Kurp]

I'd play again

[Pharrell]

Romo=Homo

and thats all I have to say about that

[terranova]

My prediction is Mcnabb stays healthy this year and shuts up some of the critics. Please?

EAGLES!

Nice that I'm not the only fan left of the Eagles. Has been hard to recover from the stunt TO pulled. I don't like McNabb ~_~ get someone who wont get hurt so much.

[Norelco]

I think Buffalo will take one of those wild card spots.

[Trichocyst]

Plenty of Eagles love to go around. I like McNabb and until Kolb proves that he can run our offense, he's the man I'm putting our money on. We would have regretted trading him.
