Seahawks over Panthers in NFC Championship game? I could see Seahawks and Panthers in the NFC Championship game, but of course, I see a different outcome ;)

Dr. Z may be a good reporter, but he absolutely blows as a prognosticator. Although I have seen more and more people saying the Seahawks will be in the Super Bowl.

3rd place in the AFC North? Hell no. Did those preseason predictions get picked based on someone actually WATCHING preseason and practice session?

It was made just about when training camp was starting.

No wonder a Bills fan posted that site.....IT RANKS THE BILLS ABOVE THE PATRIOTS.

Falcons over the Panthers?

Bengals AND Steelers over the Ravens?

What a joke site.

Edit: That site has to be a Buffalo fan site in disguise. They picked the Bills to win the superbowl ;P

All-Pro CB Bobby Taylor brings veteran leadership to a young and talented secondary that includes second-year starters, Safety Ken Hamlin and Cornerback Marcus Trufant.

Umm, correct me if I'm wrong, but Taylor isn't even a starter, is he?

It seems like the cool thing to do this year is to say the Eagles arent making the playoffs. I guess you say it every year eventually it will happen and you can claim you told us so all along.

He isnt the starter on the depth chart. Plus I saw him in with the second string defense at CB in a preseason game.

Well if that's the cool thing, I want total lameness from the Eagles. Lameness to the tune of losing in the NFC title game. Again.

Dr Z is a joke. I'm getting sick of all these publications ripping on the Bears as the worst NFC North team and suck the teets of Mariuchi's team when it looks like the Lions are much worse of a team.


LOL! And how do you figure that? I have not seen one acqusition that the Bears made this offseason that convinces me to think they will be any better this upcoming season than they were last season. If anything, changing coaches, offensive and defensive schemes, cmbined with trading away their best WR will make the Bears take steps back this season before moving forward.

And oh yeah, the Lions will be better than the Bears this season. You can bet on that.

Thomas Jones has looked pretty damn good in the preseason at least. Was he with the team last year? Who knows.. at any rate he hasn't been much of a contributor in the NFL, but maybe this is his turn around year.. (I'm not arguing that it's going to make the Bears a significantly better team)

With the frequency of 8-man (and sometimes 9-man) fronts he's gonna face this season with inexperienced Rex Grossman starting at quarterback, I wouldn't bank on Thomas Jones doing much. Even if Jones turns out to be decent for the Bears, opposing defenses are eventually going to stack the line of scrimmage and key in on stopping him while daring Grossman and his band of WRs to do something about it.

And for those who isn't aware of this, the starting time for the Bills vs. Lions preseason game has been changed from 8pm to 7pm ET.

The black man everyone at Activision can agree on
You know everybody has been talking about Jamal doing this and that this year.... Chester Taylor has been great in almost every preseason game so far... Jamal.. a non-factor, the O line just seems so far to be blocking better for Chester.

Gonna be an interesting season.

Just a small sample of new faces on the 2004/2005 Bears team which is going to take the NFC North by storm. Vasher is going to destroy your young punk wide receiver in week one like he did in college!

I can't believe it's almost here. Can't wait for next Sunday. Charlies gonna be huge. Kevin Jones is gonna rush for 100+ in his first game. And that FUCKING road losing streak is history.

The Lions are gonna blow the Bears out and everyone knows it.

Man, we've had some good wins in the preseason. We're gonna need that momentum that comes by winning close games. The first five games of our season are brutal. We've got great depth everywhere but O-Line, but it was nice to see the starting RT play very well tonight. That should help.

Weinke's TD was a thing of beauty as well.


Bank of American Stadium is gonna be ROCKING on MNF!

Brandon Lloyd... You are the man.

Jimmy Williams cant cover for shit, and Ronnie Heard... GET YOUR FUCKING ASS OVER THERE FASTER. He should be a backup free safety not a starter :\. Tony Parrish makes him look foolish.
 
fucking hicks. after Joe Montana Jr. (Ken dorsey) comes in and throws a sweet 15 yarder to Blloyd, that bitch hicks fumbles it. he just cost himself a roster spot!

Yeah, like in 1991.

This ain't 1991 son. Look for a long year from Gibbs and Co.

Long year? Portis? Brunell? Coles? LaVar? Springs? Taylor?

... I think not.
