Some fantasy, some straight football, here are my thoughts:
1) Marshawn Lynch will be a top 10 fantasy running back.
2) Lee Evans will have at least one 200 yard game this season.
3) The Colts will see a major dropoff this year. They might not even make the playoffs. They lost too many good defensive players.
4) The Detroit Lions will have an exciting offense (1,000 yard RB, 1,000 yard WR & 3,000 yard QB) but they'll still suck.
5) Stephen Jackson will fall well short of 2,500 total yards and 20 TDs.
6) Drew Bennett will have a better season for the Rams than Isaac Bruce.
7) Adrian Peterson will be the offensive rookie of the year.
8) The Falcons will win fewer games than the Raiders.
9) First and last in the NFC East will be separated by 3 games or fewer.
10) Andre Johnson will have 1,500 yards and 10 TDs.
11) Vince Young will continue to make strides but lack of a running game will keep Tennessee to 7 to 9 wins.
12) Matt Leinart will also have an excellent statistical season (3,000 yards, 2:1 TD to INT ratio), but the Cardinals will miss the playoffs.
13) There is only one reason the Chargers won't win the Super Bowl, Norv Turner. But because I think they are so good and so ready after last year's disappointment, I think they will win the Super Bowl in spite of Norv.
14) The Bears will not make it back to the Super Bowl because I don't think Grossman will solve his turnover problems.
15) Tampa Bay will be much improved with Jeff Garcia who is steady and Cadillac Williams who will have a good bounceback season after his sophomore jinx.
16) Seattle will represent the NFC in the Super Bowl again. Side note: in the NFL, NBA and MLB there is a major imbalance between the two leagues/conferences to the point that at least 3 teams from one league/conference are better than any from the other side.
17) The Patriots will play the Chargers in the playoffs again, this year it will be the AFC title game and it will be an epic matchup.
Colts defense looked pretty good agianst a good saints offense
ReplyDeleteWhy is everyone down on Norv Turner, he was the brains behind the 1993-94 Cowboys Offense which was GREAT. He is an offensive Jenuis!!!! The right question is "Is P. River mature enough to make the step to a big time QB this year?" I don't think so, but not because of Norv. It's only Rivers second year, and the 1st was playing Marty ball and now he has to learn a new offense. This is not the Chargers year (although true useles knowledge people will tell you, you change the unifroms and you win Super Bowls, a beer to the last 2 teams to have done that, no cheating) the real question is will LT be LT for another 2-3 years, if so and Rivers improves they will get their ring.
