Hi everyone. Long time reader, first time poster so most could probably care less about some new random posters random thoughts, nevertheless, in the spirit of getting pumped for tomorrow, I figured I'd jump into the stadium wall.
Some random thoughts on the year:
1. Bills D will be top 7 or 8 in the league and they will win 10 games.
2. Ricky Williams will have 1000 + yards and Ronnie Brown will be a change of
pace back only.
3. Dolphins will still win 4 or less games.
4. Brady will have a "down" year with under 30 tds.
5. Moss will lead the league in TDs but have a lot less yards.
6. Favre will pass for more than 3500 yards and Cotchery will emerge as a star
receiver and best offensive player on the jets.
7. Cincy offense will be top 3 in the league but they will struggle to go 8-8
due to a putrid defense.
8. Jamal Lewis will run for over 1500 yards if he is healthy. If he gets hurt
then the Browns win 7 games max.
9. Kellen Winslow will catch 100+ balls.
10. The Steelers o line will crumble, Big Ben will have another mediocre year,
Willie Parker will be outside the top 20 backs, and by week 10 and Mendenhall may
start. The Steelers win 7 or 8 games. Talk of Tomlin being fired begins. Talk
of the Rooneys staying with the team intensifies.
11. Baltimore wins 5 games. Flacco is benched when Smith comes back who has a
better year than Vince Young. Ray Rice starts over McGahee by the end of the
year.
12. Vince Young stinks up the joint partly because he's not a passer and partly
because he has no one to throw to.
13. Crumpler gets all of Young's catches and returns to 2004 form.
14. Indy overcomes the pundits and wins 13 games and Manning has the best year
of any QB with 40+tds.
15. Harrison quietly dominates this year with attention turned to Addai, Clark,
and Wayne.
16. JAX keeps winning despite multiple retread wrs. Fast Freddi and MJD
continue their top running attack. Their defense weakens slightly.
17. Schaub quietly becomes a top 5 qb but probably gets hurt (or Johnson gets
hurt) by week 10.
18. Slaton is the starter in Houston by week 6.
19. Cutler and the Broncos are one of the most overrated teams.
20. Marshall catches 125 passes despite playing 15 games.
21. No one knows who will get the most yards running in Denver.
22. KC gets even worse than last year and LJ is not in the top 20 rushers.
23. Oakland is the mystery team of the AFC. They will win b/w 3 and 8 games and
I have no idea how Russell performs. Fargas is cut in the offseason.
24. The Chargers remain an offensive powerhouse if Gates can play healthy and LT
puts up yet another dominant season (he has 2 monster and 2 solid seasons left
if he doesn't get hurt).
25. Felix Jones becomes the starter in Dallas because he's too good (or some platoon combo).
26. The Giants are boring but win 11 games.
27. McNabb has no one to throw to for the 9th consecutive year.
28. The Redskins are vastly overrated and win 6 games.
29. The Bears put up one of the all time worst offensive seasons. Mike Brown
gets injured for the year.
30. The Lions continue to put up good numbers and Kitna has yet another solid
year and remains one of the all time underrated qbs in the nfl. Rudi Johnson is
cut in the offseason.
31. AP has less yards than last year and him and Taylor try for two backs with
1000 yards each.
32. Travaris Jackson is mediocre but the Vikes D line is top 10 all time in
sacks.
33. The Packers win 9 games and the fans cry for Favre with every loss. Rodgers
pales in comparison to Favre in stats.
34. Atlanta wins 3 games.
35. The Saints win 12 games and go to the superbowl. Shockey (who I hate)
catches 80 balls. Pierre Thomas starts and is the premier back in NO by week 10.
36. Tampa Bay is the most boring team in the NFL.
37. Carolina has an explosive battle for the starting RB each week but Stewart
wins and competes for rookie of the year.
38. SJax has a bad year due to no offensive line. Fantasy players wonder why he
went top 5.
39. Tim Hightower starts for Arizona by week 13. Warner keeps the job all year
and Leinart can be classified as a bust.
40. JTO Sullivan has a solid year.
41. Frank Gore is highly overrated.
42. Patrick Willis leads the NFL in tackles. Paul Posluzny is 2nd.
43. Seattle is the worst team to ever win a division with an 8-8 record.
