NFL Predictions

Was away on vacation when the 'NFL Infatuation thread' was held, and a 'to each his own' attitude comes to my mind when thinking about defending the game. One thing that can't be argued is the NFL is the best run league in the world where all 32 teams make huge money, and where success isn't limited to billionaires outspending the other guy. I frankly love the game and will be at the local sports bar on Sunday morning so my wife can watch her beloved Steelers play Houston while I watch my Seahawks take on the Bills in the season opener. I'll skip the division winners and get right down to the final four....

AFC Jacksonville over San Diego (Norv and LT can't get over the hump)
NFC Cowgirls over Vikings (yes I detest Dallas)

SuperBowl Jacksonville (David Gerrard is the most underrated player in the league) over Dallas (please don't let T.O get his hands on the trophy)

 

I'm a sucker for lists, so Don here it goes;

1. There's always shootings outside a strip club (but only one NFL player has been involved that I can think of in my lifetime). Like the saying goes 'Nothing good happens at 2 in the morning outside your house'.

2. It won't be 11 guys, I'll take the newly (legally changed it btw) Chad Ocho Cinco

3. God really does care about who wins :roll:

4. How about, "Nobody in the world thought we would win outside this locker room"

5. Now Don, the games are neatly packaged into 3 hours not 4 8)

6. "He...could...go...all...the...way" into retirement soon (fingers crossed). Not a fan, but his partner Tom Jackson is by far the best in the business, so I'll deal w/Berman's tired schtick.

7. The Rams broke mine and my brother's heart when they left, but LA does have a professional team...they're called the USC Trojans.

8. Don will call it 'pointy football' (wouldn't have it any other way), but by any name when played at it's best, it undeniably compelling.

 

Sorry I missed this thread.

Steelers to have a great year, and commercials after kickoffs will wear on my nerves to no end.

 

I predict that the Lions will suck. (Going out on a limb for this prediction.)

 

If there's any way for an NFL game to end up 0-0, the Bengals and Browns will find a way to do that when they play each other.

Looks like the Steelers are my team this year if big Ben is anywhere near par.

That's just the kind of fan I am as long as Mike Brown is running that Cincinnati team

Oh.. I predict the Lions WONT suck.. too bad.

 

Fog, the Lions make the Bengals look good :shock: In other words they suck really bad. Only the Lambs and Chefs (aka Rams and Chiefs) are comparably horrific. My wife the Steelers fan would tell you to come into the light and no need to ever go back to the Bungles.

Terry1tj; long suffering Lions fans can rejoice..'Ding Dong the Witch is Dead' there is report as of this morning is GM Matt Millen has finally been removed, as an executive Millen made a great tv announcer.

My Jags pick isn't looking too good, they've lost 3 offensive lineman for the year and it will take a lot of work to overcome that.

 

HD, Knowing your a Terp, a little surprised you hate the Deadskins (but then again their owner is a major league Arse). Sadly I have to report to you that they've started 2-1 and while I think they'll finish last in easily the best division in the NFL, the Deadskins will not compete w/the ineptitude of the above teams (7-9 or 8-8 seems approriate). Never cared for them myself (especially their deplorable nickname).

The problem in hating them now for me is their new head coach. As a kid growing up in the Pacific Northwest watching Jim Zorn play quarterback (a left handed Fran Tarkenton) and going up to the Kingdome in Seattle to see him throw touchdowns to Steve Largent was a lot fun. Kind of hard for me to wish ill will upon him.

 

Well, the Bengals are off to a flying start ... : (
I have three words to say regarding the Chad Johnson situation ... F*CK DREW ROSENHAUS
Our O-line leaks blitzers like a colander and Carson is getting hammered. Our defensive secondary is in shambles due to injury. Our receivers skipped all voluntary training camps and missed all mandatory ones due to injury so there's no cohesion between the QB and the WR's, except for with Chatman. Utech gets injured on the first play of our second game, completely changing our offensive structure ... the list goes on and on ...

 

The New York Jets look awfully good this year.

 

Bengals, Browns...bah..

.. might's well follow Dolphins!

 

RE: Bengals, Browns...bah..

...tell me again, why do Miami franchises have poor support?

 

RE: Bengals, Browns...bah..

Poor eyesight?

Not enough viagra prescriptions for the retired?

Those little Cuban coffees don't let people sit still long enough to attend?

To much to see at the beach?

 

And Chad Johnson changing his name legally to 'Ocho Cinqo' and then having to be sent to the corner for a 'time out'?

 

FYP 8)

 

I probably could have guessed that sportscenter would have done an entire hour of "updates" on his situation. What was that? There is going to be an investigation and we can't say anything for certain? Thanks for telling me for the 19th time this morning!
