The NFL 2008 Thread

Predictions:

Favre will be a huge bust. The Jets will improve to 6-10 but Brett will realize he should have taken the $20mn and stayed in Mississippi.

The Cowboys will suck. Simpson will dump Romo before the midway point of the season.

Colt Brennan will start a game for the Redskins before the year is out.

Neither the Giants nor the Patriots will make it to their respective conference championship games.

Seth Hurwitz will go out of the suicide pool by week 3 at the latest.

Redskins will go 16-0 and win the Superbowl.

I make this prediction every year.

So you're the one jinxing them. Must be a Cowboys fan.

the NFL will continue to suck.

espn will continue to completely ignore hockey score in lieu of millionaire NFL player drama, arrests and positive drug testing.

kyle boller will still suck.

i will be out of the suicide pool in week 2 again.

Favre will improve The Jets. he will have two quality WR's to throw to in Cotchery and Coles, plus he'll be reunited with his security blanket, Bubba Franks. Their offensive line is good enough to buy Favre time and Thomas Jones should return to his form from 2005 when he rushed for over 1300 yards and 9 TD's. The only two things preventing The Jets from being a playoff contender will be their defense and being in the same division at New England. Green bay will not return to the playoffs with Aaron Rogers at QB.

The Cowboys will be the cream of the crop in the NFC in the regular season, but will choke in the playoffs. They will finish the season with the top ranked offense and defense in the NFL.

The NFC East will finish the season as the top ranked conference in all of football. Once again 3 teams from the division will earn a playoff spot, but unfortunately The Skins won't be one of them. Washington will learn the hard way that constant upheaval within the organization does not build a winning franchise.

New England will lose to San DIego in the AFC Championship game.

Bold prediction: The Houston Texans will make the playoffs.

I'm going to pistol whip the next person that says Favre.

Brett Fa… uh, the former quarterback of the Packers will divorce his wife within one year of moving to NY.

I really hope Chad Pennington doesn't go to the Chiefs. He's not ready to be taken out back and shot yet… well, so long as he doesn't tear his rotater again.

you know that he was my favourite player since mostly the day he came into relieve Majkowski in 1993 or whatever.

I was already a Packers fan (due to a large 5th grade wager they became my favourite team, since as a canadian , i didnt really have one) and though i depsied him for taking my boy Majik Man's place, i embraced him soon enough.

and i didnt even mention him!!! go me!

Kyle Boller will still suck but continue to be cute.

The Ravens will only win 5 games, but will beat the crap out of the Redskins.

Tom Brady will fall and break his ankle. (I make this prediction every year)

I will rule the world my first year of playing fantasy football.

(On a side note, a good friend of mine recently became the blogger for the Washington Redskins. It has kind of a "behind the scenes" theme to it and I think it's pretty awesome so far!)

the chiefs will go 5-11 this year, and glenn dorsey will be out with a knee by week 4. oh wait, he's already out.

no i was definitely an Argonauts fan, but it was nice to have something to root for in the NFL too.

The Cincinnati Bengals will once again reign supreme in the AFC North, sweeping the Steelers, Browns, and Ravens and finally playing decent defense under Marvin Lewis. Wooo! WHO DEY?

Other predictions:
- Keith Rivers will win defensive rookie of the year after accumulating 400 tackles and decapitating Flacco.
- Chinedum Ndukwe will break the NFL record for INTs in one season. Half of the INTs will come against the turnover-prone Browns.
- Carson Palmer will win the league MVP and be named Obama's running mate.

I like this one.

My predictions:

The Vikings (10-6) will dominate the NFC North.

The Packers will have a winning season (9-7), but not make the playoffs.

The Bears (8-8) will still be in the same place they were at the end of last season: no consistently good QB (unless for some crazy reason, they get Chad Pennington), Mike Brown will have a season-ending injury and Devin Hester will continue to be the baddest motherfucker on the planet.

Oh, and the Lions (6-10) will be in dead last.

GO BEARS!!!

AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME:

Jacksonville 27 San Diego 20

NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME:

New Orleans 35 Minnesota 17

SUPER BOWL XLIII

Jacksonville 26 New Orleans 21

Prediction: The people who named their twins "Brett" and "Favre" will burn in hell, and their kids will turn out to be total douchebags.

BOLD PREDICTIONS:

No team from the NFC East wins a playoff game.

The leading passer for the year does not have the last name Brady or Manning.

The San Francisco 49ers have the league's top-rated defense but fail to miss the playoffs.

A team other than Seattle finally wins the NFC West.

The Redskins fire Jim Zorn after a 6-10 finish.

The winner of the AFC North has an 8-8 record.

This year's best hope for an 0-16 finish: Oakland

So then this means they will make the playoffs. Yeah!
