[Archaix]

Here are my picks from the preseason thread last month, along with a random guess at the super bowl.

AFC East: Patriots
AFC South: Titans
AFC West: Broncos
AFC North: Ravens

Wildcard: Colts, Chiefs

NFC West: Seahawks
NFC North: Packers
NFC East: Eagles
NFC South: Saints

Wildcard: Panthers, Vikings

MVP: Ahman Green
Offensive Player: Ladanian Tomlinson
Defensive Player: Ed Reed
Defensive Rookie: Sean Taylor
Offensive Rookie: Not even going to attempt a pick.

Super Bowl: I don't know. Let's go with Titans over Vikings

 

[LuckyBrand]

Chicago bears will win it all... urlacher will win the game with a quarter back sack and then the qb fumbles it and he runs it in.

urlacher goes into politics, runs with ditka for Prez/VP... after 8 years they switch, and again are prez/VP.

Eh?

 

[Archaix]

Eh?

Apparently one of his life's dreams is to see the 49ers or Packers moved into the AFC.

 

[Bowser]

*sigh*

Oh well, screw it.

 

[Mrbob]

*sigh*

Oh well, screw it.

The only thing you need to know is that DA BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAARSSS are going to win the Super Bowl!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

im calling it now...Baltimore over Carolina in the Super Bowl.

 

[effzee]

eagles over pats!

 

[Triumph]

The only sure bets are that the Cardinals are gonna suck and that Mike Vick will get hurt again, forcing heroic back-up Matt Schaub to lead the Falcons to the first of 47 consecutive Super Bowl titles. It's just evolution!

Oh, and here's a pic of Randy Orton just to piss everyone off!

 

[KarishBHR]

Lions could be a wildcard team if they stay healthy

 

[BlackMage]

I predict Seattle will win the superbowl.

 

[Paradox]

Too early for predictions.


....oh and :lol at the Ravens or Seahawks/Bears winning the SB.

 

[Archaix]

Too early for predictions.


....oh and :lol at the Ravens or Seahawks/Bears winning the SB.

The season is about to begin in four days, when exactly would it be late enough for predictions in your opinion? Should we just wait until February to do our predictions and make sure everybody gets everything right?

 

[Paradox]

I'd say about 3-4 games in to the season is a good time for predictions


But ill give it a go anyways

AFC
Division Winners
AFC North - Baltimore
AFC South - Indianapolis
AFC East - New England
AFC West - Denver (really too early to judge like I said, we have the talent.. now we need to know if our offense is gonna click.. which requires a couple weeks into the season)
Wild Card Teams - Jacksonville, KC

NFC
Division Winners
NFC North - Minnesota
NFC South - Carolina
NFC East - Philadelphia
NFC West - St. Louis
Wild Card Teams - Detroit (possibly the suprise team of the year?), Seattle

[Fifty]

Too early for predictions.


....oh and :lol at the Ravens or Seahawks/Bears winning the SB.

Yeah, isn't that hilarious?!

The Ravens or Seahawks could easily make it to the Superbowl. The Bears...Well......The Ravens or Seahawks could make it there

Picking your favorite team, the Broncos to face Indy in the AFC championship is the real :lol

 

[Paradox]

No its not and no they wont

 

[CavemanLawyer]

I think we would be better off just sticking all the teams into a hat and drawing the Super Bowl Champ.

This is the NFL.

 

[LinesInTheSand]

Baltimore is going to win the Super Bowl. The End.

 

[Fifty]

FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS!

OK, so you want my pick for the upcoming NFL season? No you don't. You don't want to hear it because evidently nobody else believes this team can do anything in 2004. I ask you right now, without thinking, what team played the Patriots in last year's Super Bowl? How long did it take you to answer?

Not many would get it right away. They would say Philadel -- err ... Carolina. The Panthers were good. This year, they will be great.

Everyone cannot wait to dub the Patriots the next dynasty, following in the footsteps of the Mings, Steelers, 49ers, Cowboys and Iglesiases. People think this for good reason: The Patriots have the best coach in Bill Belichick and the still young-and-hot QB in Tom Brady. They draft well, and their defense is tough and built for January weather.

How about Carolina's John Fox, though? How about a guy who takes over a 1-15 team, improves it to 7-9 and follows that up with 11-5 and a date with Janet and Justin? How about Jake Delhomme -- the nicest multimillion-dollar athlete you will ever meet -- who is a late-game, pressure quarterback and has the fire to lead and an arm to dazzle? Get Delhomme on a field with stuff flying, and he becomes a demon. He yells, he grabs and he fights.

Who pays attention to Steve Smith? Terrell Owens is a better self-promoter, but Smith is a better receiver. He's not big, but he can fly. A former punt returner, Smith has moves that make him hard to bring down in the open field. Smith has possession receiver-type hands and the burners of something Wile E. Coyote would order from Acme.

Now let's talk defense. There is no better front seven than the Panthers'. The defensive line is dynamic, cohesive and signed through 2007.

The linebackers are underrated. Mark Fields is back after a year of dealing with Hodgkin's disease. His raw speed coming on blitzes when that front four is beating up an offensive line gives the Panthers the best pass rush in the NFL. Last year, Fields cheered from the sidelines as he recovered; this year, his teammates will be clapping for him as he makes his way to Honolulu.

Even special teams are a strength. The Panthers boast the best punter in the league in Todd Sauerbrun, as well as a kicker -- John Kasay -- with a strong, accurate leg. Carolina can play a field-position game with the best of them, and then, after wearing a team down, the Panthers make their move.

This isn't to suggest the Panthers don't have questions. Will their offensive line -- which returns only one starter, center Jeff Mitchell, to the same position as last year -- be good enough to protect the quarterback and open holes for Stephen Davis and DeShaun Foster? Will Matt Willig, who put his movie career on hold when he gave up starring in Disney's Herbie: Fully Loaded to help give Carolina depth on the offensive line, be adequate at right tackle? How will the guards hold up after the losses of Kevin Donnalley and Jeno James? In the secondary, can Colin Branch replace Deon Grant? Will Reggie Howard and Terry Cousin be missed? Every team has similar problems in the free-agent era. The Panthers, I believe, will find they are even better than they were as NFC champs.

The NFC South will be a tougher division than last year because of the health of Michael Vick and the coaching of Jim Mora in Atlanta. The Bucs have surrounded coach Jon Gruden with veterans, and the nightmare of Keyshawn Johnson is behind them. In New Orleans, Aaron Brooks, Joe Horn and Deuce McAllister will try to win for Jim Haslett, who is coaching for his job.

The toughest competition from the rest of the NFC will come from Seattle. The road to the Super Bowl will go through the Pacific Northwest, but the representative for the NFC will be that little bunch of Dangerfields from Charlotte, who will celebrate their 10th year in the league with their first NFL title.
