chargers dont need to pass and if they do tomlinson only has to run a flat or swing pattern

How much is Pittsburgh going to miss The Bus though? Not just as a player, but as a locker room leader? Anyway, I would say the two early favorites in the AFC are Pitt and Indi. Dare I say this is the year that Manning finally gets over the hump??

i wouldnt be suprised if the bus is on the sidelines...

indi will fall over again i feel

ones to watch - arizona, cinci and panthers

 

[silentstriker]

Arizona? LOL!

I don't care if they have the entire pro bowl roster at the WR. They are Arizona, thus they will suck. They are the worst franchise in NFL history.

recruiting james was not a good move, kurt warner a previous superbowl winner and league mvp?

kurt warner a previous superbowl winner and league mvp?

He's well past his sell by date. It seems to me that he caught lightening in a bottle for those few years with the Rams. Maybe it was the system. Maybe the rest of the NFL finally caught up with his weakness. Whatever the case, he's nowhere near his MVP level.

 

[ash chaulk]

but hes still a good enough to make the roster and start

You realise that Drew Brees has left and Rivers is the QB don't you? I wouldnt expect anything except Gates to have another great year as Rivers will find nobody down field.

Incase you have not heard, Phillip Rivers the new chargers quarterback has been pretty impressive and kind of proving the decision to release Brees(who has a fitness problem) as a right one.

 

[ash chaulk]

i think rivers will be pretty damn good but this season he'll be an up and down player

I think the regular season starts this weekend....any predictions for the Superbowl???

I think I am edging towards a Carolina vs Indianapolis SB, with the Panthers winning.

 

[ash chaulk]

im predicting Bengals - Seahawks Superbowl

but i would love Rams - Dolphins

 

[Matteh]

Considering i know nothing about this. I'll just pick a team at random to win.

Oakland Raiders

 

[pinchy81]

Giants to win the superbowl

 

[ash chaulk]

lol naa

Giants to win the superbowl

IMO, the NFC is wide open for the taking. Any number of teams have a legitimate shot at being the NFC representative to the Superbowl. That includes the Giants, Cowboys, Seahawks, Panthers, and the Buccaneers. I would think that Seattle is the favorite to beat from the NFC. It should make for a very interesting season, what with all these teams thinking they have a legitimate shot to win it all!

Will be looking forward to see if big Sav Rocca can make the grade.

I got for Green Bay but kind of went off NFL last season. Used to be pretty keen, taping most games, but wouldn't have watched more then 5 games last season, all Packers.

As long as the Vikes beat the Packers twice in the season, I am happy

viking packers - boring rivalry these days
