"buffalo is on the cusp"
And we all know how that went with the same guy coaching the Jets with an unsettled QB position last couple years or so.
I kind of like this bold stuff. I caught it from your quote.

AFC
East--Pats.....screw em. Hope Bills give them a run
North--Browns only if McCown plays lights out. If not 1 of the others that I refuse to mention
South--probably Colts but would like to see Hoyer take Texans to playoffs
West--Broncos if they truly take some passing away from Manning. His last year by the way
Wild Cards--Bills, Colts or Texans depending on who wins that division. Would have put Browns in there but they're winning the North, so there.
NFC
East--Eagles zzzzzzz
North--Pack, if not for Rodgers, zzzzzzzz
South--Panthers or who the f*** cares
West--Cards if they stay healthy. Too much weirdness for seahawks this time around.
Wild Cards--Vikes and Rams cause I could care less
Super Bowl Denver over Green Bay which is why this is Peyton's last year.
Browns will get 1 home playoff victory because can you imagine the frenzy!!!!
-
Mik, of course Manning (or anyone) is one hit away from being injured, but if he's healthy I think he'll be fine this year.
They'll have a quarterback controversy all year and their OL sucks. Young QB behind bad OL. We've seen how that plays out.
How can one simultaneously believe in the shiny hood ornament theory and think that losing a wide receiver will affect a team? Wouldn't it not matter? Since I don't believe in the SHOT I will take your question on its face. They have a top 3 pass blocking OL, the best quarterback in the league, Eddy Lacy, and they still have Randall Cobb. Yeah, I think their offense will be fine.
Drew Brees is from my suburb and went to my high school so I don't share the hate for him in the first place but as gftChris said, he did lead the league in passing yards last season. Now they're leaning a bit more on the run game (allegedly), got CJ Spiller, added an elite center, etc. I'm not saying they'd be a playoff team in another division, just that they are the best in an awful one.

hey just my opinion.
go ahead pile on like the yahoo draftbot who flunked me for picking amari cooper and melvin gordon.
note to gilbert: "if not now, then when?"
-
Who's Gilbert?
My second paragraph was about the Bills btw.
I see Amari Cooper winning OROY.

I'm going to drop a few shockers in my picks this year. I think it is a year of change. Not much separating the top 20 or so teams in my opinion, going to be a wild year.

They'll be out this week, same as they always are.
Hunting through the closet for my crystal ball as we speak.
I wish they would stop putting fucking AFC North teams in the Thursday Game, I gotta do a TWITAFCN too.

Z creates his crystal ball.
-
AFCEast: Patriots - Cheaters prosper
AFCNorth: Ravens - overall I think they have the best team in our div
AFCSouth: Colts by a street
AFCWest: Broncos, the best QB in my lifetime is being written off too soon
Wildcards: Bengals and Steelers. We suffer at the hands of a strong division yet again.
NFCEast: NY Giants. O line should be much improved, offense could be great this year.
NFCNorth: Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers, nuff said
NFCSouth: Falcons, Take your pick in this div tbh
NFCWest: Cardinals: Shock.
Wildcards: Seahawks and Cowboys
Super Bowl teams. Broncos and Packers
-
- AFCN: Browns - Squeak in with a 9-7. Homer glasses? Maybe... but Best D in the Div
- AFCS: Colts - I think they've finally added a run game and that keeps them on top.
- AFCE: Pats - Someone is pissed... and is picturing the Commish handing him SB50's MVP trophy... Awkward!
- AFCW: KC - Maclin was a big upgrade and D was helped in the draft... even 4th Rounder Ramik Wilson is looking good.
- AWC1: Fins - With that D and an improved Tannehill they scare NE in regular season... and maybe take them in the post...
- AWC2: Texans - D gels, Hoyer manages and Texans make a brief playoff appearance.
AFC Champ: Fins over Pats
- NFCN: Pack - one-trick pony, but what a pony... still too much Rogers over an improving MN team.
- NFCS: NO - Big rethink here as ATL looks inexplicably bad. CAR may finish last in points scored...
- NFCE: Philly - easiest call of all. The Kelly train is about to get really crowded...
- NFCW: SEA - so frickin' complete and new toys for Carroll to play with in Graham and Lockett
- NWC1: StL - Foles the final piece? No, but he was a good add no matter the outcome in Philly
- NWC2: MN - Sneak in for one-and-done appearance...
NFC Champ: Philly over SEA
SB50 - Philly over Fins...
-
Ravens
Colts
Pats
Chargers
Dolphins
Texans
Cowboys
Packers
Saints
Seahawks
Lions
Eagles
Packers over Pats
-
AFC North: Baltimore (our Browns will end 6-10)
AFC East: Patriots (with the Bills getting their first playoff appearance since...even before the Browns did it)
AFC South: Colts
AFC West: Chiefs (with the Broncos in the other WC spot)
NFC North: Packers (Lions in the WC)
NFC East: Cowboys
NFC South: Panthers
NFC West: Seahawks (WC Cardinals)
AFC Final: Baltimore over Patriots
NFC Final: Cowboys over Panthers
SB: Cowboys
-
Cowboys over Ravens is a bold call! My guess at least one of packers and patriots makes it. Chances are good we end up with the same championship games as last year - hawks/packers, patriots/colts.
-
Local radio guy just picked the Bills and Eagles.
You read that right. The Buffalo Bills.
-
Mike Greenberg picked the Seahawks to beat the Steelers
Golic: Eagles over Colts
OK, so what is the infatuation with the Steelers? They may have the worst DB/DL/OL in just the AFCN.
Is everything just about the offensive skill players, which they do have 3 good ones....BR/Bell/Brown.
I have always heard that the game is won in the trenches....not on the edges.
Is this theory/philosophy now wrong?
-
They managed to get Bell to run for 1300+ yards last year, so the OL can't be that terrible. Big Ben + Bell + Brown + Decnt OL = potent offence. Whether they can make up for a young defence in a new scheme remains to be seen, but I don't see a big drop off if any from last year's 11-5.

They do have a good OL coach....which was their saving grace.
But they won't have Pouncey....and he is their glue. His loss could be as bad as the Browns losing Mack last year.

Im not sure.....

Like gip said.....they had an ok line, but now have lost easily their best player in Pouncey.....not saying it'll be the same for them, but it sure made a difference when we lost Mack.....(and our leftover O line, as a whole, was way better than what they have)....

I agree...
Plus....even though its just preseason, their Offense has looked lousy so far.....
Based upon their 5 preseason games, PFF has them ranked dead last for Offense(and 29th for D)....and, based upon production, they are ranked 29th in yards and 28th in scoring.....(so far)...
So, while I do expect to see improvement, it would surprise me if a team ranked as 29th on D and 32nd on O in preseason, just suddenly move to the top......
And...since they are really just relying on their big 3 play makers(Brown, Bell and the Rapist)......they better hope pray no one goes down.....or it's over.....
