there is one thing I can guarantee this year... Atlanta will not win the superbowl.

[DeadlyDynasty]

JT, you realize your predictions would give Sanchez 7 road playoff wins in his first 3 years, right? Has anyone ever won that many playoff roadies before?:lol

[JoeTait75]

I don't think any quarterback even has close to seven, come to think of it. Staubach has five. Off the top of my head, that's the most I can think of.

What's funny is I don't even think Sanchez is very good. :lol

For some reason I just don't think Green Bay is going back.


there is one thing I can guarantee this year... Atlanta will not win the superbowl.

I really should pick Pittsburgh to win it. But I'm a Browns homer and I'm not picking fucking Pittsburgh to win the Super Bowl, I'm just not.

[SAtown]

He's tied with 4 other QBs (Len Dawson, Staubach, Delhomme, and Flacco) as the QBs with the most road playoff wins in NFL history (which would be 4).

It's like every year they all forget who SD's coach is.

How many superbowls would your TomDoll have with Norvron Wormer and no cheating :lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

[JoeTait75]

:lol people picking the Chargers to actually make a playoff run

I fall into the Charger trap every year. I never learn.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Picking the Chargers to make a SB run is infinitely smarter than picking the Raiders to make the playoffs--especially after losing one of their top 2 players.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Picking a team to go from 8-8 to a playoff birth is infinitely dumber than picking a team to go from 9-7 to a superbowl birth?

Super Bowl - Giants over Patriots yet again

SB MVP- Eli Manning yet again

MVP - Eli Manning (With Peyton out and Eli showing that desire with the Brady comments, he will win it).

Coach Of The Year - Tom Coughlin

Rookie of the year- Von Miller

[DeadlyDynasty]

In this case, hell yes. Chargers had a slew of injuries to their WR corps and Vincent Jackson played only 3 or 4 games due to holdout. Gates also missed a chunk of games. Rivers still put up nasty #'s despite that. The special teams gave away 3-4 games--no way in hell that's happening again, especially with the kickoffs now. They finished tops in O and D too. They have everybody back now.

The Raiders lost Nnamdi on defense and Zach Miller on offense (led his team in receptions I think). Besides, we all know they aren't finishing 6-0 in the division again.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

They also lost the defensive coordinator who made their defense greatly over achieve. That defense will be average this year. It's got mediocre talent that is no longer carried by Ron Rivera's great coaching.

You may be right. Tbh I don't really trust any AFC team in the playoffs these days...I just have a hunch the Chargers will get their shit together. They may or may not make a run, but it's a fucking certainty the Raiders are going nowhere.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Raiders > Norv Turner tbh

[DeadlyDynasty]

Like I said, I don't trust any AFC team enough to bet on them to make a SB(I just think SD will do it)...but I'll bet anyone here 5 bills that the Raiders don't make the playoffs. I'll even offer a side bet of $100 that they don't even reach .500.

[TIMMYtoZO]

IF the Chargers actually had a good coach, I could see them as a serious threat. Norv Turner turns into super conservative mode in the postseason. He hasn't changed his ways. The Chargers front office screwed the pooch by hanging onto him.

[TIMMYtoZO]

The AFC this year will come down to the Patriots, Ravens, and Jets. The Steelers are coming off a superbowl loss which means they will be a lot weaker this season. The Colts are done without Peyton.

[DeadlyDynasty]

If Mike McCarthy, Brian Billick, Mike Martz, Bill Callahan, Jim Caldwell, and Tom Coughlin can make a SB as a HC, anyone can.

Ok...

[DeadlyDynasty]

You can add Tony Dungy to that list too...that dude is ultra-conservative. But he sure prays hard :cry

[JoeTait75]

Red Miller, Sam Wyche, Forrest Gregg, Raymond Berry, Bobby Ross, etc.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Red Miller, Sam Wyche, Forrest Gregg, Raymond Berry, Bobby Ross, etc.

and the beat goes on, and the beat goes on.

lol Bobby Ross...I was at that SB:lol

[TIMMYtoZO]

Ok...

:rolleyes

2001 Giants: miss the playoffs

2002 Rams: miss the playoffs

2003 Raiders: miss the playoffs

2004 Panthers: miss the playoffs

2005 Eagles: miss the playoffs

2006 Seahawks: lose in the divisional round

2007 Bears: miss the playoffs

2008 Patriots: miss the playoffs

2009 Cards: lose in divisional round

2010 Colts: lose in wildcard


See a trend here? Steelers don't get exempt from the list. They will be a wildcard team at best and lose in the wildcard or divisional round.

Wait...this is James isn't it? You are a Bills fan who is living in Miami and "ok" is a term you use often. You also are a Lakers, Canes, and Marlins fan aren't you! Dude! What's up? It is me Drake! Megan tried calling you the other day so you ought to quit avoiding her.:lol Your cousin, Chris, is having a Saints/Packers party at his place tomorrow night. You gonna go?

[Monostradamus]

None of those nigs are as bad as Norv Turner tbh

You already said Jim Caldwell :lol

more or less the same coach tbh. Extremely passive African who was too lazy to actually discipline his players and too much of a gutless pussy to make aggressive decisions.

crofl...so true

:cry great fucking coaches, so inspirational :cry

The special teams gave away 3-4 games--no way in hell that's happening again
o rly

[DeadlyDynasty]

o rly

crofl...yeah that was apropo. At least their defense is still nasty and got that TD back

[HarlemHeat37]

I'm not a fan of the Falcons at all, I wouldn't be surprised if they miss the playoffs, teams will be better prepared for them this season, and they're banged up..

Picking the Patriots is cliche, but I don't see them losing, although I always feel that way about them..

I'd be surprised if Green Bay doesn't win, barring injuries, they're stacked on both sides..

[Ryan Fitzpatrick]

Look at the Ravens schedule:

PIT, W
@TEN
@STL
NYJ
Bye week
HOU
@JAX
AZ
@PIT
@SEA
CIN
SF
@CLE
IND
@SD
CLE
@CIN

Even a pessimist would only have this team finishing 12-4 at worst.

[vander]

my only prediction is that the Packers will not represent the NFC in the SB

I said that last year too though

[HarlemHeat37]

Look at the Ravens schedule:

PIT, W
@TEN
@STL

HOU
@JAX

IND
@SD
CLE

Probably, I'm an admitted Ravens hater though, I sell them short every year, tbh..

Safe to say we're all wrong about the NFC East, so far...

[Jacob1983]

If it happens to be the Bills and Lions in the Super Bowl, will you watch? And how many people will watch?

[pawe]

If it happens to be the Bills and Lions in the Super Bowl, will you watch? And how many people will watch?

I'll watch of course but I hope that's not the case because I predicted the Bills and Lions to be the bottom feeders of their respective conferences...I'd look like a major dumbass :lol

[Axe Murderer]

sons everyone is a little surprised by the 9ers success but when you take a closer look, there's really no surprise at all.

now sons i know i might be beating a dead horse here, but their 4-1 record once again proves that a quarterback is a honky's job. Alex Smith now has a white coach, who was a former quarterback, and look what happened sons. Singletary was a good defensive coordinator but he was in no shape to handle a young quarterback. Eventually he got frustrated and put in a fellow mooncricket in Troy Smith who just ######ed around the pocket, ######ing the 9ers right out of the playoffs

:lmao I love how we've turned the word n!gger into a verb. I can't wait for webster to add a definition.

n!ggering - v. - doing stupid things during a football game while relying solely on athleticism (usually done by black quarterback who lacks the proper intelligence/poise/throwing fundamentals a pocket QB needs)

That could apply to Tebow as well.

what's kinda hilarious is that everyone expects tebow to suck (warranted) but if he was black they would have had him play a long ass time ago.
