I also see Atl. as being really tough even if vick gets hurt since they have schaub.
Overall the nfc is going to be tougher all the way around, but a lot of teams are banking on vets in key positions, including us w/brunell. Health will be the difference come december.

I don't think a team lead by Jake Plummer and Ron Dayne will be threatening for the SB anytime soon. They just let their TE walk in FA, replacing him with a draft pick (who they reached on by about 2-3 rounds), and just let the glue of their defensive line, nah their entire defense, jump to Baltimore free of charge. They just paid colossal turd Gerrard Warren, almost ensuring laziness, and replaced the aforementioned Trevor Pryce with Kenard Lang. So tell me, exactly how was this a good offseason for the Broncos?

Thus fuels my anger at how the NFL UDC was selected. First of all they have 9 out of 12 playoff teams returning from last year. One out of these three teams is Baltimore who before signing McNair, I had as the worst team in the NFL. Now they are merely one of many bad teams. If you want to talk returning playoff teams, why not mention up and comers like the Jags or the Bengals? They have the Broncos, Colts, Pats, and Steelers in the playoffs. I bet on my life that at least one of these teams doesnt make the playoffs. I'd bet a large sum of money that at least 2 don't make it. I went through the schedule and only had the Steelers returning, although I could see the Colts. But dont worry, ESPN told me what to think, so thats that.

But that's not the funniest part of this deal. The Champ games are NE @ Pittsburgh, and Carolina @ Seattle. Sound familiar? That's cause these games HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES WITHIN THE LAST 2 YEARS. Thank you ESPN for spending ten days telling us that the NFL will be boring and predictible this year.

Oh yeah, this is really good:

Skins I believe will win it all this year, coaching is the name of the game in the NFL, and we now have the best in the buisness along with the talent, the only team I would worry about in the SB would be the Patriots that's one team that has the talent and the coaching to give us a real problem, but my prediction is we wipe the field with the Colt's.

Carolina is the one team that would concern me in the NFC, then Tampa, then Seattle.

The Colts were #1 in the league in terms of sack given up, and that line isn't any good. Peyton deserves most of the credit, but a lot goes to Edge for his excellent blitz pickup skills, and the threat of running he brought that put more pressure on coodinators to back off the blitz with him in the backfield. With him in Arizona, sit tight and watch the Cards sack totals go way down, and the Colts go up to where they should be with the weak line they have.

The Cards had the no. 1 pass O last year and the no. 32 rushing attack. Again, Edge is exactly what they needed.

[D'BOYZ]

apperently he should be ready during preseason if he doesn't has any complications

[70Chip]

Here are my playoff picks:

NFC

1. Seattle
2. Washington
3. Tampa Bay
4. Chicago
5. Dallas
6. Minnesota

AFC

1. Denver
2. Indianapolis
3. Cincinatti
4. Miami
5. New England
6. Kansas City

There is no way the Giants get a sniff. When they turn on Coughlin it will be ugly.

Redskins take it all. I'm thrilled with all of the new additions to the team, they are all very neccesary, but this is Clinton's year. He's hungry, CP and the O-line carry us to the Super Bowl.
Carolina will be really good, but 'Key' is oh-so coverable at this point in his career. Their D will be great, and Jake's leadership outwieghs his mistakes. Never-the-less, I'm planning to be clinging to a lamp-post on a cold DC afternoon in January as the Champs' parade rolls by.
HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still remember clinging to a lamp post as a 9 year old after XXVI! Welcome to the board.

I think what they really need is a solid QB who doesn't fumble when he's breathed on.

Warner isn't the answer.

[Giantone]

I'm saying this with all honesty,I don't have a glue!Now with that said I want the Giants and think we have covered all our fualts ,remember nobody picked us last yeat either .
I really believe it's a even toss up with all 4 teams ,maybe 2wins differance between 1st and last .

Warner's been successful wherever he's been. 2 MVPs in St. Louis, 5-3 as the QB of the G-men, no. 1 passing O in Arizona. There are about 15-20 teams that wish they had a QB as good as Warner still is.

And thats taking the fumbling problem into consideration.

Of course they had the #1 passing offense, they had no running game to speak of and they were constantly playing from behind.

If he could stay healthy you might have an argument. Trouble is he can't. He hasn't played a full season since 2001. During that time he's been a shadow of his former MVP self with just a 78.15 passer rating, 21 TDs, 25 INTs, and 14 lost fumbles.

There are plenty of teams in the league in need of quality starters, Warner is not a quality starter anymore over the long haul of a season. He might be good for about 10 starts, but that's not enough to get a team into serious contention.

WOW! thats 39 turnovers. how many games did he play over that span? i know he has been injured and missed some time so it probably comes to more than 1 turnover per game.

[Moseley_in_the_snow]

How do the Cards chances for success change when Warner gets hurt and Lienart goes in? Sure he's a rook, but he's as pro-ready rooks get.
