NFL Off-Season Thread

Manning and Brady played each other quite a bit (Once a year), not to mention they met in the playoffs how many times? And for the most part of the last 10 years...it was the Colts having to go through NE.

So Flacco/Ryan wouldnt work, and I have no idea why the Steelers kid need to bring up the Steelers in EVERY discussion. I bet that rivalry was fierce in the 70's, tell us more please Mr Steelers?

Sean McDermott will be announced as the new Eagles Defensive Coordinator as Johnson is officially leaving due to cancer

Holy , I figured out where Mike Vick's going.

Cleveland.


Think about it.....


it's the only place with a dawg pound!

Here's something we could do in this thread for some fun/discussions.

Post what you think is going to be the overall Regular Season record for each team, what the "Divisions to watch" are going to be (both AFC and NFC), and predict the SuperBowl.

BUT, just go with your gut feeling. I didn't base mine off of any stats or anything like that, just a gut feeling. Here we go.

AFC East
Patriots = 12-4
Bills = 6-10
Jets = 8-8
Dolphins = 9-7

AFC North
Ravens = 10-6
Steelers = 13-3
Browns = 3-13
Bengals = 5-11

AFC West
Chargers = 11-5
Broncos = 8-8
Raiders = 4-12
Chiefs = 6-10

AFC South
Titans = 12-4
Colts = 11-5
Jaguars = 8-8
Texans = 7-9


NFC East
Cowboys = 9-7
Giants = 11-5
Eagles = 10-6
Redskins = 6-10

NFC North
Packers = 7-9
Lions = 4-12
Vikings = 8-8
Bears = 8-8

NFC West
49ers = 6-10
Cardinals = 8-8
Seahawks = 5-11
Rams = 4-12

NFC South
Falcons = 10-6
Saints = 8-8
Panthers = 9-7
Buccaneers = 5-11

Divisions to watch: AFC South, NFC East, NFC South.



Remember, these predictions aren't based off anything, just a gut feeling. Who knows, my picks could go horribly wrong and make me look like a fool. That's a risk I'm willing to take.

And in response to ALF, and I know I'm asking for a worse bashing than when I posted my top 10 for Best Movies of the decade. This is barring any substantial injury, suspension, etc.

Saints win 20-17 (OT)

I told you earlier, it's definately Baltimore for the AFC in my opinion, but NFC has been a toss up for me with the Vikings and Saints. Meh.

I would like more then anything for Favre to not comeback and both Vikiings QBs to just blow the season for them in every way possible

Yeah, I'd have to bet against Baltimore, although I liked the Drew Bennett signing today. I still can't see them overcoming Pittsburgh, who might not even be the best team in the AFC themselves. It's way too early to tell right now, but it's always hard to argue against the Patriots.
