You have us getting 12 wins, pretty optimistic.

I am going with 10-6 since we do have a first place schedule now. Tbh, in this division, none of our division games are a given. Even when 1 team is horrible, they still tend to give division foes a run.

Yes it is.

Playoff Predictions?

Edited them in...in bold.



I'm not a believer in Russell Wilson or Seattle. Their defense scares me as long as they're somehow passing the PED tests, but he's not comparable to Griffin in any way. He doesn't have the passing accuracy that RGIII does.

I predict his TD:INT will be 18:11 this season. Sophomore slump...or just coming back down to Earth.

They're the trendy pick to over-hype. SF owns that division and will for years to come.

I can see us getting 11 or 12 wins. The only thing is: how do we know if the team is going to play like they did before the bye, or after? Everyone assumes we'll play like the 7-0 team, but what if we play like the 3-6 team?

11-5 if there's no major injuries.

I love the Houston/Washington Superbowl. That would be excellent for both organizations.

I really like Denver as well, but with no pass rush for at least 6 games this year thanks to Von Miller, I think they'll come up short. Yes Miller will be back later but they've also lost Dumervil. They're also unstable at RB...too many possible starters and not a solid #1.

Look at all of the trouble a fax machine can cause...might have cost them a Super Bowl trip.

I think New England won't be quite the team they have been in past years but their 12 wins will be more of a result of their division getting weaker, mainly due to the Bills and Jets. Miami, however, will also benefit from the bottom-feeders of the AFC East.

Baltimore...you peaked last year. Losing Lewis, Reed and ESPECIALLY Boldin will hurt. Flacco threw a lot of bad passes last year, but Anquan's freak ability to catch anything in the air no matter how horribly it was thrown bailed him out a lot.

Philly...Chip Kelly is in for a rude awakening. He's not taking the NFL as seriously as he should a la Steve Spurrier. He claims he sees no difference in speed from the college game. He will on September 9 at 7:10 p.m. His QBs, all three of them that will see action this season, have only DeSean Jackson to throw to and he's going to mail it in by Week 12. McCoy will have a monster year thanks for all of the dump-off passes, but he'll be their only bright spot on offense. Vick will be hurt in the first half of the season. Foles will struggle, again. Barkley will play a couple of games at the end as the desperate new head coach squeaks out 5 wins...tops.
