NFL Season - Team predictions

[GreyKnight]

Well, the season starts this Thursday (night for me.) So give us your team predictions.

Mine -> Chicago Bears

I'm gonna go for a 10-6 record.

We got a great QB in Jay Cutler, and a stud of a RB in Matt Forte. Even with a load of no-name receivers (apart from Devin Hester, but I wouldn't call him a #1 WR), I think Cutler is so good, he'll lift the play ability of these WRs. We also have a some good TEs, especially in Greg Olson, and we appear to play a lot of 2x TE formations. So expect a good mix of runs and passes from this to keep opposing D's on their toes.

The only worry is our Defense, especially our Secondary. I've always been a big fan of Charles Tillman and Zach Bowman had a great training camp, but the remaining DBs look pants.

Our D, like most, will live or die from front 4, ex-Lions coach Marinelli seemed to get them sparked up in TC, but I only hope they up their game for the regular season.

But I do see us making the playoffs on a VASTLY improved offense, and if the defense improve, we could go deep in the playoffs.

It's playoffs or bust for Coach Lovie Smith.

Next...?

I'm a Cowboy Fan, then KC, then Green bay, Then Bears.

I only see the Bears with a chance to go all the way this year.

But I've not been looking closely either though.

Hey GK, we'll see Sunday, won't we?

[JensenPark]

Edmonton Eskimos all the way.

Real football...not that pretty-boy 4 down stuff.

Real men take 3 downs to get 10 yards.

[Zeus-cat]

I gotta go with Minnesota; because of, or maybe, despite Favre.

[GreyKnight]

I can't believe yourself, and the REST of the media, have the Vikings topping the NFC North, just because they have Favre at QB!?!? If Favre took a dump on the lawn of the oval office, John Madden would have everyone saying what a great movement he did there.

[Tonar]

Anyone but the Eagles.

Tonar is still holding a Dogz grudge agains Vick and anyone near him.

Go Denver !

[GreyKnight]

Tonar,

I agree with you about Vick. I feel he should never of been allowed back. But the spineless NFL commissioner just wants more ratings and money I guess?

[Tonar]

I'm torn because I believe in second chances.

[erco]

Well, that was exciting- How about them Packers!

[GreyKnight]

Saw the highlights this morning, not chuffed! Cutler's INTs were annoying, but how about that call to go for it on 4th & 11 on your own 26 yard line!?!?

Nice one Lovie!
