Hahaha, your predictions suck.
And you lost all credibility for believing the media hype and installing the Dolphins over the Pats, give me a break!
Kinda like when you adamantly stated all year last year that the Patriots were winning the superbowl again. Whoops, that didn't happen. Whoops, you lost the guy that won you countless playoff/superbowl games. Oh no, your #1 receiver wants out, this after losing Givens too. Yikes, there goes a starting LB.
The Patriots are worse than they were last year, the Dolphins are better. It will be close, but I'm giving the nod to the Dolphins, and when it turns out true, I can't wait to rub it in your face. If they Patriots didn't make the playoffs, you would STILL claim they are somehow magically winning the Superbowl.
We picked up Gabriel, and Branch isn't gone yet. Out WRs should be even better than last year if the Branch issue gets resolved. The only reason the Pats didn't go to the SB last season was the BS calls by the Refs.
Vinatieri won those SBs for the Pats? I think not. He had a large role in them sure, but he didn't single handedly win those games for us. It took a team effort to get the job done all 3 times.
I'll put money on that prediction of yours btw.

You lose all credibilty when you start saying things like "us" and "we".

60? Try 30. Pathetic, regardless of who it was against.

I already said the Steelers looked better than I expected, but ya know what? Its week 1! The Steelers could still very well not make the playoffs, and Daunte could still very well make the pro bowl! Its crazy how the NFL works like that."Daunte will be back, mark it "
"Pittsburgh Steelers - last year was a farce, subtract some key players, watch them fall "
So far you're off to a great start, champ.
Eagles will finish 3rd at best. They have a moderate chance of beating the Redskins. That's about it.Eagles 4th and Pats behind the Fins, hahaha. I knew there was a reason I liked you Deeko, always good for a chuckle at lunch.

oh, and go ahead - mark it for january and come back with everything I got wrong. I'm sure I got quite a few of them wrong, that's why they're PREDICTIONS. Professional sportswriters that do this for a LIVING never get it right, either. I'd like to see your full predictions with reasoning, and see how many YOU get right.
Deeko, I would expect no other prediction from you. I also wouldn't expect more than stink from a dirty diaper. You boys are going to be smoking pole and lubing their cinammon rings all season...Originally posted by: Deeko
NFC East
1. Dallas Cowboys - straight nasty all around
2. New York Giants - Tiki has to wear down some time

Steelers recent history:
2001: 13-3, AFC North Champs, AFC #1 seed - lose in AFC championship to NE (on a forward lateral that turned into a TD after a blocked FG mind you )
2002: 10-5-1, AFC North Champs, losing to Tennessee 34-31 in the 2nd round
2003: 6-10, 3rd place, perhaps you're counting on another fluke year (of which they already have 1 of their 6 wins) of which they've drastically changed - their exploitable defense from then has evolved into a masterpiece and they actually have QBs that can get the job done.
2004: 15-1, AFC North Champs, AFC #1 seed - lose in AFC championship to NE (this time they were just outplayed), NE wins Superbowl.
2005: 15-5, they lose the AFC North the Bengals on a silly tie breaker, they win the tie breaking game in the playoffs...winning 8 straight including 3 straight road playoff games...and then the Superbowl.
All that recent history and people are still sucking Raven dick based on their freak 2000 performance...I can understand the Bengals possibly coming out on top of the Steelers but the Ravens? Give me a break, they?re a joke, Billick is done - you forgot that McNair also needs a new hip.

yep- - you are clueless. ATL over the Bucs? Are you serious?
I believe I already said that one was a close call, but Atlanta added some key players, and I didn't really see that from the Bucs. Plus those guys on defense that took them to a Superbowl win in 2002 aren't exactly spring chickens.
I agree they aren't spring chickens - but we still had the #1 defense last year.
Additions?
How about David Boston? Yes, he has some issues, but he's a huge, FAST receiver. Jamie Winborn?
We are VERY strong at wide receiver, strong at QB (As long as Simms stays healthy, and Gradkowski, although a rookie, is showing veteren abilities), Cadillac is in great shape, and the O-line has never looked stronger.
Don't forget the stingy corners, Barret Ruud @ MLB, Pro Bowl kicking squad, Monte Kiffin, and one of the best NFL head coaches in the league.
Atlanta? Who is one of the most innacurrate passers in the NFL going to throw to? Crumpler can only do so much, and HE'S getting old. Defenses have figured Vick out - he would be a much better WR than QB. When he plays the Bucs, he's usually on the sideline by late in the 2nd QTR crying about how he can't run.
My predictions?
Bucs 11-5, loss in 2nd round of playoffs
Atlanta, 9-7, not even a WC option.
**EDIT***
Our biggeat problem is our REALLY tough schedule. :|

What moron makes a bet on who is going to be in the superbowl, in week 1?
fair enough - I can't agrue with that as I was there once. Just as long as it isn't because you are a fvcking pussy...Originally posted by: DeekoSorry, I won't bet with you. Say whatever you want about that, but when you don't have the money to back it up, you don't make the bet. That's pretty simple financial planning right there.

Reading comprehension is a skill I learned at a very young age, you should try it. I said 60 total yards, that includes what we call "receptions", believe it or not running backs do it sometimes!
