They keep facing suckish teams i looked at the whole season schedule


Has any team in the NFL played a weaker schedule than Indianapolis?? A third of their wins have come from teams that have not won a game and only one team they have played so far has a winniung season going on. Who makes up the scedule?????


I mean, The Ravens are vastly more talented than the talentless Donkies(15th most talented team in the league).

Coaching is overrated, and therefore, the Ravens, the team that is more talented, will win pretty handlely. This is the beggining of the end for the Broncos.

Their schedule is brutal, and I know there will be a let down or 2.

Colts, Ravens, Steelers, a vengeful Bolts team(the most talented team in the league), Redskins(don't overlook them), Eagles, G-men.

The Chargers will win 9 of their remaining 10 games. Their only loss will be to the Dallas Cowboys.

Chargers: 12-4
Donkies: 10-6
But the Chargers have 14 future hall of famers.


They are all unbeaten at 6-0. What will their final records be? Here are my predictions:
Saints: very great team. 13-3 AT WORST. 15-1 at best
Broncos- Great team, but have harder schedule. 13-3 at best. 10-6 at worst
Colts- OVERRATED. Look at who they played: Titans, Jaguars, Rams (lol) Seahawks, Cardinals (only good team they played) and Dolphins. schedule gets harder. but i say Colts go 10-6


I am in my first fantasy football league, so I haven't finished a full season before. I have a good team, great team this last week (drew brees + randy moss + packers D = good start)

But, i am worried about some of my top producing players being completely useless in the championship round during week 16/17. Brees, for example. Looking at the Saints schedule, the Saints are likely to have home field throughout the playoffs wrapped up pretty early. Same with the Colts (Dallas Clark and Joseph Adai), at some point their position is going to be set and they are going to be resting starters. Sure, they will still score points, but if they aren't in for a full game, they won't score many even if they play well.

When do I start worrying about finding players through trade or waiver that are going to be playing meaningful games in week 16/17 (preferably against teams that have nothing to play for, perhaps the Titans, St. Louis, or KC)?


Week 7: BYE
Week 8: Ravens- Hope they win but it will be a challenging game for both of them.
Week 9: Steelers- Win because The steelers have been playing a lot of crappy teams and winning only by a few points and played some good teams and lost.
Week 10:Charger- Hope they win
Week 11: Redskins- Win
Week 12: Giants: Will probably loose by a few points
Week 13: Cheifs: Win
Week 14: Colts: Win or Loose I don't know
Week 15: Raiders: Win
Week 16: Eagles: Win
Week 17: Cheifs: Win


My picks:

Patriots @ Bucs - Patriots
Colts @ Rams - Colts
Vikings @ Steelers - Vikings
Chargers @ Chiefs - Chargers
49ers @ Texans - Texans
Packers @ Browns - Packers
Jets @ Oakland - Jets (If Sanchez blows this one too I'll be very surprised...)
Bills @ Panthers - Bills
Bears @ Bengals - Bengals
Saints @ Dolphins - Saints (Great team this year)
Falcons @ Cowboys - Cowboys
Cardinals @ Giants - Cardinals (I think the Giants had an easy schedule up until last week, now they're gonna get it unless they change)
Eagles @ Redskins - Eagles

They had a bye week this week and are playing the rams next week.


Do you think that the New England will choke for the rest of the season? I think so. The Patriots played against a garbage team yesterday. They didn't had to run up the score to show off.

He is what their schedule is for the rest of the season. they are 4-2

* They Might lose to the Dolphin twice because the wildcats will stay and will stay for the second time.

*Colts are a great team better than the patriots Manning and wayne connect perfectly.

*Jets Defense will pressure brady and and he will choke like last time.

*Saints Do i really need to tell you about this Brees threw the ball to everyone, and the way how their defense beat the giants was great.

*Bills Who know they beat the jets they were close in the last meeting.

they might go 9-7 or 8-8 missing the playoff.

What do you think please do the same thing what i did
I am a expert on NFL
Cizz

The Patriots Played against a garbage team, are they playing against anymore garbage team?

the Defense will cost them some games
the patriots defense are weak since they lost several guy. the wildcats will take advanged of it .


two teams many feel have alot of talent and are capable but are playing terrible football right now.

Redskins are a 2-4 team with losses to 3 winless teams and the easiest schedule so far in the NFL. There's no way any team in the NFL should be under .500 with that schedule they plaed.

The Titans losing a 59-0 to the Patriots was pathetic. No NFL should lose that bad and be down by 45 at halftime. This was the biggest blowout I've witnessed in the NFL. Also got beaten by 20+ in games against the Colts and Jaguars. That 13-3 record last season is looking more and more like the fluke I thought it was. Theyre an 0-6 tteam and already doubled last seasons loss total

who do you think is worse?


1.Indianapolis Colts- since struggling to win weeks 1 and 2 they've dominated.

2.New Orleans Saints- won with their high powered offense and underrated defense in games this season.

3.New York Giants- playing well on both sides of the ball and in the trenches.

4.Minnesota Vikings- hard to find any flaws in this team right now.

5.Denver Broncos- they are 5-0 and for a reason. Great defense and Orton has thrown only 1 INT all season.

6.Cincinnati Bengals- big wins over the Steelers and on the road at the Ravens. Without a miracle play by Denver on opening weekend could be 5-0.

7.Atlanta Falcons- have looked dominant at times this season and are playing great on offense and defense. Will challenge for the NFC South.

8.Philadelphia Eagles- besides one bad game against the Saints have dominated their opponents this year

9.Chicago Bears- Jay Cutler finally gives them a QB they've been searching for for a while and have played wonderful offensively and gotten it done on defense.

10.New York Jets-I know they lost yesterday but I still feel they are the best 2-loss team in the league. Have a favorable schedule the next few weeks.

Your thoughts on my list?


Based on teams performance thus far in the season n strength of schedule? Mines are
AFC west-broncos
AFC north-steelers
AFC east-patriots
AFC south-colts
NFC east-giants
NFC south-saints
NFC west- cardinals
NFC north-vikings


Ok, so i need to get a new defense. I drafted the Titans this year and they have been a joke so far. I picked up the cowboys for week 5 and dropped the Titans. The defenses avalible are the 49ers, Broncos, Colts, Texans, and Skins. Depending on strength of schedule remaining, which team do you think i should pick up.
*other teams availible: dolphins, cardinals, chargers, falcons. Everyone else is horrible. Who should i get?


Yes we have not played well in most of our first 2 quarters of play with a couple of teams....yes our non conf schedule is not filled with caliber teams...yes Colt isn't GOD...but correct me if I am wrong...how does a team move down if they remain winning?

Anyhow good for Alabama...they play well and if anyone deserves to jump TX it would be them.
good answer Earle...I am kinda glad acutally...takes the pressure off of having to remain unbeaten to keep the #2 spot...if we stay unbeaten, then it is just a waiting game to see who will lose in the SEC CG....yea TX asked for this..Colt played his worst game by far last night....yea I am glad I am not an Iowa fan...I would be losing my mind


Colts are 4-0 right now and here is their remaining schedule:
@ Titans
@ Rams
VS. 49ners
VS. Texans
VS. Patriots
@ Ravens
@ Texans
VS. Titans
VS. Broncos
@ Jaguars
VS. Jets
@ Bills

How good are the chances for the Colts having another 12 wins or more this season?


I would go...

1 Baltimore (I dont think theyre the best team, but are playing the best on both sides of ball in general)

2 NYG (the Most Complete team in NFC, maybe NFL. Despite 200yrds to Dallas. Before Tuck left game Dallas avg 3.3 yards per carry, after Tuck was tripped and left game, dallas avg 9.4)

3 Indianapolis (The Saints north)

4 Saints (the Colts south)

5 Vikings (I honestly have no idea what they REALLY are, i know theyre a good team, but One miracle play falls incomplete and theyre not even in this conversation)

6 NYJ (love their Defense, but passed everything thats being said, they have not run the ball all that well or consistently, ..and passed all the flowers being thrown at Sanchez (who i love), he is just a Rookie, sooner or later, that will factor in)

7 Broncos (frauds... Dal, NE, SD, Bal, Pitt, Wash, SD, NYG, KC, Indianapolis <--- Thats their upcoming game schedule GOOD LUCK!)
Aaron...

The reason noone talks about who the Giants, Ravens, Colts, have played. Is because Those teams.. Especially the Giants, Ravens, and Colts. Is because those teams have History. The Giants, Colts and PAtriots, Steelers, have won more games over the passed 4 years than any teams in the NFL. Those Teams have nothing to prove. The Ravens have been a winning team for awhile, The Giants and Colts , the same. Denver has not. You assume the Colts and Ravens and Giants will beat the sucky teams, because theyre that good, and you dont hold that against them because they have pedigree. Denver does not.


I have a 4 month old colt, I dewormed him at 2 and 3 months of age. By the way he is an orphaned foal. I used ivermectin to deworm him both times, but now he is potbellied and his coat is dull. I wonder if he could have worms even though I have him on a deworming schedule. He is in a 1 acre pasture by himself. The vet is coming out next week to do a fecal test. But I would like to know your opinions and if I should use a different wormer.

Thanks in advance!!


or during the course of the season

Colts,Giants,Broncos,Ravens,Jets,Saints,Vikings are the 3-0 teams so far.

I asked what 2 because the Broncos would be the obvious choice due to the fact they've had a really weak schedule so far that gets tougher.

I think the Giants might slip a little bit because they will have a very tough schedule the last half of the season but just being a good team alone might get them by.

So,Which 2 of these 3-0 teams teams are most likely to start to slide and slip up a bit late in the season or during the course of the season?
I mentioned the Vikings as 3-0 but it cut off for some reason, my bad


Week 1 - Jets @ Texans W 24-7

I see them winning division in gettin in playoffs

in playoffs i see them

AFC Wild Card Game W over Texans 24-13

AFC Divsional Game L over Ravens 34-14

if you have them into the playoffs tell me how far well they get to


ok their schedule is very easy..they do not play the pats or colts..and i really believe them and the ravens are the 2 best teams this year but the steelers own the ravens every year..your opinion?


denver broncos is my team and they have it pretty tough this year expecially after rookie coach Josh McDaniels traded our franchise quarterback Jay Culter. We play the redskins, the cowboys, the giants, the patriots, the colts, baltimore, the steelers, and the eagles. along with our rivals the raiders, the chargers, and kansas city... what do you think?


Looking at the fact that Colts have WR troubles.. and Matt Schaub has the best reciever in football in Andre Johnson. .. Then I also look at both teams schedule strength.. I feel like me trading manning while his stock is high is a smart move... A little risky bc this is THEE one and only Peyton Manning... So what do you guys think?


To me, it seems like the gap between the so called "haves and have-nots" is becoming smaller. Each conference is becoming more competitive. The voters are wising up to the potential BCS Busters and not putting them in a BCS Bowl before the season starts (ie. Hawaii 2 years ago), which I like. They should have to prove themselves just like every other team, for example, how BYU scheduled Oklahoma.

I'm still on the fence about Miami and Florida State being back. Yes they played a great game in week one, but they haven't convinced me that they are back, in typical FSU and Miami tradition. These used to be the benchmark teams in College Football. Miami will tell us a lot about itself in the next 2 weeks, with Virginia Tech followed by Oklahoma. The 'Noles will have nothing but North Carolina left on the ACC plate, as they dissapointingly do not play the Hokies this season. But on the flip side, they do have Tebow and the mighty Gators on the last game of the year. I'm expecting a hell of a lot to be on the line for that one, and for these two surprisingly good teams to challenge for the ACC title. Hopefully they can prove to be top tier teams again, because college football is just plain better when the power houses are playing like power houses.

I also can expect Florida to lose at least once, and I'm expecting Texas to go undefeated, along with the Cal Golden Bears. Yeah, that's right. Cal/ Texas National Championship. And guess what? No non BCS teams in BCS Bowls.

Here's my predictions:
NC: 1. Texas over 2. California
Sugar Bowl: Florida over Cincinnati
Fiesta Bowl: Oklahoma over USC
Orange Bowl: Penn State over Florida State
Rose Bowl: Alabama over Ohio State

Yes, Florida will fall. I'm guessing against the Seminoles. Cal will beat USC this season and go undefeated in the Pac 10. Texas will make it out alive somehow, and meet the Golden Bears in the Title game, where Colt McCoy will come into the game as the 75th Heisman Trophy winner against runner up Jahvid Best. Oklahoma will win all their games remaining but the Red River Rivalry, and USC will win out.


Hello, wondering what everyone’s predictions for week 2 schedule is, and predicted score? Thank for your time, the games will be as follow….
Thanks for the feedback

Arizona Cardinals @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Carolina Panthers @ Atlanta Falcons

Houston Texans @ Tennessee Titans
Minnesota Vikings @ Detroit Lions
New England Patriots @ New York Jets
Minnesota Vikings @ Detroit Lions
New England Patriots @ New York Jets
New Orleans Saints @ Philadelphia Eagles

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Buffalo Bills
Baltimore Ravens @ San Diego Chargers
Cleveland Browns @ Denver Broncos
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Chicago Bears
New York Giants @ Dallas Cowboys
Indianapolis Colts @ Miami Dolphins


With week 1 almost over we have gotten a "glimpse" at what some of the teams are truly capable of. I know there are still another 16 weeks of the regular season to go, but why not make predictions now and see how accurate they were when the end of the regular season rolls around. So come on, let me hear your predictions.

AFC-
North:
1.*Baltimore Ravens (12-4)
-Joe Flacco is coming into his own. With Ray still leading the defense, look for another top 5 defense finish.
2.^Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4)
-They will battle it out all year with the Ravens for division leader. In the end though the Steelers are the one's who catch the unlucky break for division winner.
3.Cleveland Browns (5-11)
-The Browns need help just about everywhere.
4.Cincinnati Bengals (3-13)
-I still don't see how people can say Palmer is a top 5 QB. He does not do well under pressure. The defense is horrendous.

East:
1.^New England Patriots (12-4)
-With Brady back and Randy, Joey, Wes, and Ben on offense this team will be hard to stop. The defense is also starting to get younger, while at the same time not missing a beat.
2.New York Jets (8-8)
-Sanchez will play the role Flacco did a year ago: game manager. The defense and Thomas Jones will be the main reason the Jets finish with this record.
3.Miami Dolphins (7-9)
-With the NFL's hardest schedule and the Atlanta whooping today, it just doesn't look like a promising year for the 'Fins.
4.Buffalo Bills (6-10)
-Trent Edwards is just too inconsistent and with T.O. most likely causing him a headache later in the year, this team will fall apart.

South:
1.^Tennessee Titans (11-5)
-The Titans looked sound against the Steelers. They actually passed the ball this game and it worked out well. Look for the rushing attack to once again be in the top of the league and the defense is going strong, even without Haynesworth.
2.^Houston Texans (9-7)
-Finally a finish above .500. Today just wasn't a good day for the Texans. Look for them to rebound in the coming weeks.
3.Indianapolis Colts (8-8)
-There's just not much left in the tank. The Jags D isn't a pushover, but c'mon, 14 points with one of the NFL's top O's. The clock is starting to wind down on the Colts.
4.Jacksonville Jaguars (7-9)
-With almost no receivers (Holt is starting to slow down) it'll be a looonnnngggg year for the men from Jacksonville.

West:
1.*San Diego Chargers (13-3)
-With Merriman back this defense will once again be nasty. With Philip Rivers becoming a top quarterback and Vincent Jackson becoming a top receiver look for this offense to be nearly unstoppable. Oh, did I forget to mention LT is back to his old self, Antonio Gates, Chris Chambers, and Darren Sproles?
2.Kansas City Chiefs (7-9)
-This team is really starting to improve. 27 points against the Ravens D is pretty damn hard to do.
3.Denver Broncos (5-11)
-Today was pure luck. Kyle Orton isn't the answer in Denver and the offense is lackluster now with Jay gone and the D doesn't look that much better.
4.Oakland Raiders (3-13)
-Same old, same old.

NFC-
North:
1.^Green Bay Packers (11-5)
-Aaron Rodgers and the offense are going to be good just like last year. The D will do a hell of a lot better this year, pushing the Pack into the playoffs.
2.^Minnesota Vikings (10-6)
-Exactly how much left does Brett Favre have left? Week 9-10 maybe? Adrian Peterson can't keep putting the team on his shoulders.
3.Chicago Bears (8-8)
-The receivers are going to have to step it up, or the Bears are looking at a .500 season at best.
4.Detroit Lions (2-14)
-Calvin Johnson can't do it all by himself on offense and Ernie Sims can't do it all by himself on defense.
East:
1.*Philadelphia Eagles (11-5)
-No one knows how long McNabb will be out and Kolb most certainly isn't the answer. When McNabb returns though, look for this team to once again be dangerous.
2.Dallas Cowboys (9-7)
-Romo proved today that T.O. wasn't needed. But once again, the Cowboys fall apart in December.
3.New York Giants (9-7)
-The running game can't do it all. The receivers are going to have to step it up. The defense will bring hell like usual.
4.Washington Redskins (5-11)
-There are just too many problems with this team. Quarterback, receivers, offense line. The defense will no longer carry this team.
South:
1.*New Orleans Saints (14-2)
-If today was just a demonstration then I am scared to even imagine what this offense is truly capable of. And if the defense decides to play a little this year (unlike last year), then the Saints will be near impossible to beat.
2.^Atlanta Falcons (12-4)
-The offense is once again looking solid and the defense has stepped it up too. They will definitely be in the race for top record in the NFC.
3.Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-10)
-The defense just isn't looking impressive anymore and the offense is once again subpar.
4.Carolina Panthers (4-12)
-Jake Delhomme just needs to call it quits before he ruins the Panthers season....ag


Being a Texas fan, I am worried that we will do well and get too confident and fall down like we did with Texas Tech last year.

OU may have lost most of their offensive pieces last year, but their defense remains one of the best in the business, regardless of SEC or Big 12 defense. They have most starters returning this year, and only allowed 13 points from BYU, who averaged about 35 points a game last year. Providing that, OU had a great defense last year, and held most teams under their season average...including Florida to only 24 points, instead of 40+ points. We'll have to score quickly if we want to win over this defense. If our defense can't hold both of their 1,000 yard rushers off, we'll be in trouble. Our rush defense is subpar compared to last year, and with Bradford healthy again, we'll have to worry about both the pass and rush. Our offense is good, but we're again, talking about a wonderful defense. Our run game is slow, and we have only the pass with only one true go to guy. This'll be a hard game.

Ok. State-A defense is a lot better than last year already, look what happened to Georgia. 10 points...they had only 24 points, but against a great defense, simply outscoring them in the end. Zac Robinson and Dez Bryant will make the best combo QB/WR in the nation this year, and Kendall Hunter is a beast. This will be a classic shootout, because I think their defense won't contain our receivers as well as they did with Georgia. Colt McCoy is accurate and deadly and he'll get the ball where he needs it. Our defense will struggle against OSU, making this a classic shootout, we'll have to outscore them early and get more defensive stops than them, or we'll lose the battle.


I tried to make bold predictions, and take into consideration the parity in the NFL. The top 10 teams are rarely the same year to year. So keep that in mind.

1. Pittsburgh Steelers- They are very well rounded and they know how to win. The easy schedule helps.

2. New England Patriots- The defense will be mediocre, but I just have so much respect for Brady and Belicheck.

3. Green Bay Packers- They will make a huge leap this year, I don't see many weaknesses here, maybe the secondary, but that is nitpicking. They'll have a great offense and front 7.

4. Dallas Cowboys- They will either be very good or very bad, and I'm betting without T.O., Romo will be much improved, with the chance to pass the ball to the open guy and not worry about getting T.O. his touches. They will be "wide receiver by committee," meaning all their wrs will contribute, but none will stand out. Witten will have an enormous season though. And their D is underrated.

5. San Diego Chargers- So much talent, on offense and defense. And they have 6 guaranteed wins a year.

6. Philadelphia Eagles- I had them lower, but their are just too many weapons there, their offense will be one of the best in the league, and their D will be serviceable.

7. Houston Texans- Every expert says they have a shot at breaking out, but none seem to have the balls to predict it. I say Schaub stays healthy and their offense is the second best in the league. Andre Johnson is one of two or three wrs in the league who can dictate the course of a game. Similar to Philly in a way, sick offense, solid defense. Big year for Houston.

8. NY Giants- I'm a bit worried about their lack of receivers, and its not like Eli can compensate for them with his QB skills, he is far from spectacular. But their defense is one of the best and their o-line along with their backs keep them in the playoffs.

9. Atlanta Falcons- Obviously with Ryan improving, so will the team, but I just don't see a huge leap. Their schedule was very easy last year, and it is a bit tougher this season. I say they improve, but not by a lot.

10. Tennessee Titans- Similar to NYG, Great o-line, running game, and defense, but the passing game is a serious concern. I think the loss of Haynesworth will hurt them. And honestly, to me the d is a bit overrated, its good, but not elite.

11. Minnesota Vikings- I don't know, Favre is looking pretty good, but can he really last the whole year at an elite level? I say no, but if he does, they are a top-5 team.

12. Indianapolis Colts- They barely sputtered through the first half of the season last year, and I just don't think they're a dynamic team, but very solid at least.

13. New Orleans Saints- They've got a ton of offense, but I'm not sure how many games they will win by just trying to outscore people.

14. Chicago Bears- They will be fine receiver-wise. Cutler makes everyone he plays with better, but I think their defense is very overrated and it is a very tough division.

15. Arizona Cardinals- They have to show me they can be consistent, I have little faith in an aging Warner to last the season.

16. Baltimore Ravens- They are very old across the board, I think it will be a somewhat disappointing year for them.

17. Seattle Seahawks- They will bounce back nicely, but no running game and questionable defense, plus the NFC is very deep in quality teams.

18. Carolina Panthers- They can run like crazy, but I have absolutely no faith in Delhomme and a QB that sub-par makes it hard for the rest of the team to run smoothly.

19. Cincinnati Bengals- I actually think they could surprise some people. People forget how good Palmer was before his injuries, if he is healthy the whole year (I think he will be) then dynamic qb + very good receivers = a rebound season for the Bengals. And their D isn't as bad as people think.

20. Miami Dolphins- Last year they won 11 games with a 4th place schedule. Now, they have one of the toughest in the league. I think that makes all the difference here.

21. Washington Redskins- Their defense is very, very good. But they have Campbell at QB, below average receivers, an old running back. Oh, and did I mention a terrible offensive line?

22. San Francisco 49ers- I think they will be about the same as last year, a team you've always got to worry about, but doesn't end up being a serious playoff factor.

23. Kansas City Chiefs- People are seriously overreacting on their whole situation. They won't be good, but Haley helps them a lot, and people forget, though they didn't win many games last year, they were always a tough team to play.

24. Tampa Bay Buccanears- Do they have any skill position players on their offense who would be starters on the Patriots, Saints, or Texans? Maybe Bryant? I just don't think they have the talent to consistently win games.

25. Jacksonville Jaguars- MJD is a stud, and their passing game will be a big improvement with the o-line and wr additions. B
26. NY Jets- Very good defense, people underrate it. But I think Sanchez will struggle early on, and their wr depth is weak.

27. Detroit Lions- Their defense and o-line are the problems, but I think Stafford will have a commendable rookie year, maybe not a Ryan or Flacco type year, but he'll be solid. I think they have a good foundation for the future, and I am a big fan of Jim Schwartz, reminds me of Mike Tomlin in his first year.
28. Oakland Raiders- I actually think Russell will make improvements, and Mcfadden will turn into a stud, but there are just too many question marks across the board here.

29. Denver Broncos- Terrible defense + Great offense = 8 wins. Terrible defense + Mediocre offense = Last place in the West.

30. Buffalo Bills- T.O. is subtraction by addition, he is a distraction and is seriously getting up there in age. And the defense and o-line are god-awful.

31. St. Louis Rams- Steven Jackson will win three games all by himself, but unfortunately, he is all they have.

32. Cleveland Browns- Do I need to explain this? Terrible on offense, terrible on defense.
I decided to take a break from yahoo answers for a few months. I was getting tired of all the trolls and haters in the bball section. But I think I'll start coming on more often now that football is starting then basketball in a few months. Good to see ya Koolish.
You are right, they "had" one of the best defenses. They lost their best player and MVP candidate. Did you forget about that?


They Have to Have one the Championship that Season, no excuses Patriot Fans!

For Me They Are, In Order:

1958 Baltimore Colts - A Roster Full of Hall of Famers Led by Johnny Unitas, the Greatest Quarterback to Ever Play the Game. The 1958 Colts Won the Greatest Game Ever Played, the NFL Championship Game Over the Favored NY Giants in the First Ever NFL Sudden Death Over time Game and the First Nationally Televised NFL Game. Just three words: Unitas to Berry.

1959 Baltimore Colts- On Paper Maybe the Better Team with the return of 58's HOF Line Up the Team was Never Challenged and easily defeated, once again, the NY Giants for their second straight NFL Championship. They fall to second only because the 58 Squad gets extra points for playing in and winning, the Greatest Game Ever Played.

1985 Chicago Bears- Yes I hated them. Everybody outside of Illinois Hated them. But what can we say? They were great. They beat people up. They dominated for one season and were gone like smoke in a breeze...

1986 NY Football Giants- This team started off good and got better and better as the season progressed. By the time they reached the play offs they were big blue monsters and they destroyed and ate an excellent San Francisco Team

1972 Miami Dolphins- So they had a weak schedule. So they squeaked out a win in the Super Bowl. They won 'em all. Every Game. That counts for something.

Feel free to disagree and argue all you want. Hell, it's football. Just remember the rules. Ur 'best ever' has to have won the most important game of the Season. The Championship.
You're all forgetting that the NFL existed before the Super Bowl! A lot of Great Football happened in those years and to write that off because you're too young to have seen it is silly. Look at the history! And, Sorry Flanders, The Pats can't be on the list because they lost, were soundly beaten, in THE MOST IMPORTANT Game. And the Ravens, I too am a fan, I'm from the Balto Area, but there's no way to put them on the list.
And in losing the Super Bowl the Patriots were BEATEN BADLY by the New York Football Giants. Beaten so badly one has to wonder if the rep they came in with was real, or hype. Remember this "Unbeatable" team was given more than they could handle by the Ravens earlier in the Season, and had to rely on some questionable officiating to remain unbeaten. No, the 2007 Patriots don't get and don't deserve an exception to the Have to Win the Championship Rule...


here is mine
AFC
1. Steelers-easier schedule then pats, so they sneak into #1

2. Patriots- brady is back, but with one of the toughest schedules, it may not be enough for #1

3. Colts- strongest in the AFC south, will recover this year

4. Chargers- pathetically weak division, which they will easily win

5. Ravens- very strong contender, but the steelers are just that much better
6. Titans- last year went extremely well, but they lost too many players to stay at the top.
NFC
1. NYG- the best in the division, and the conference

2. Carolina- tough division, but they are still the best in it

3. Minnesota- with brett farve running the show, things should go better for the vikings offense(i hope)

4. Arizona- a very good offensive team in a pitiful division

5. Philly- They really deserve to be much higher, considering how good both the offense and defense are, but NYG isnt gonna let up

6. Atlanta/Green Bay- i think atlanta will sneak in by their offense...but aaron rodgers is improving, and id really love to think we'd get to see green bay vs minnesota





AFC North-
Ravens 9-7 (They won't be as good as last year but still have talent and not a hard schedule)
Bengals 4-12 (Schedule is wayyy too much for THEM to handle...not a good team....)
Browns 7-9 (Not a bad team but the QB situation is tough)
Steelers 13-3 (Not only are they the champs...but they also have a pretty easy schedule.....)

AFC South-
Texans 10-6 ( A schedule they can handle and seem to be getting better)

Jaguars 6-10 ( Though people think they are gonna have a good year...I disagree)
Titans 11-5 (Obviously not as good as last year but will return to the playoffs)

AFC East-
Bills 8-8 ( Don't have much to say for this team)
Dolphins 2-14 (Sure, they had a good year last year...it was a fluke...they will suck yet again)
Patriots 11-5 ( A pretty easy schedule...but just because Tom Brady is back doesn't mean they are gonna win 14 games)
Jets 7-9 (Suck town)

NFC North-
Vikings 9-7 (They are good....but will be average)
Bears 11-5 (Jay Cutler doesn't solve all of the problems...but Bears will be much better)

Packers 9-7 ( Just as good as the Vikings.....)

NFC East-
Eagles 9-7 ( Not as good as people are expecting)
Giants 7-9 ( Will have a bad season....just calling it)

Saints 9-7 (Brees is beast...but he shall miss the playoffs)
Bucs 7-9 ( Not good anymore....)


NFC West-
Cardinals 11-5 ( Some games are kinda up for grabs)
Rams 6-10 ( Rams suck and continue to suck...no change in the team)
Seahawks 5-11 ( A struggling Seahawk team....no help from Matt)
49ers 3-13 ( They gonna be really bad!)

Some of these predictions might not make sense in your head or just at all with standings. But this is how I feel. We shall see.

SUPER BOWL
FALCONS VS COLTS
WINNER= FALCONS


I'm guessing the easy answer would be the miami dolphins since they have the toughest schedule in football. Im gonna go with colts just because every team misses the playoffs every once in a while.
That not bad gadzook considering atl has never had back 2 back winning seasons.


I have been going for 3 years and everyone has said there is no set schedule for the colts players to sign but surely there is? Anybody have tips or anything on how to figure it out.Sometimes ill go and it will be a HUGE waste of my time

AFC West

W Bengles 9-7 Rebuilt lines, can be a VERY suprising team
Ravens 6-10 Lost Mason, Suggs, and Ryan Sluggish O, good D

And Yes Each Conference DOES have 128 W and 128 L. Thank you. Please comment.


Out of the 3 top QBs, which would you choose with one of your top picks?

Colts have the easiest schedule in the league this season.
Brees plays mainly indoors against fairly weak Defenses.
Brady has the same weapons back as he did in 2007.

Who to take? and Why?


After seeing the Longhorns season come to an abrupt and rather controversial end last year, I believe that the Longhorns have the team, coaching staff, schedule and desire to go undefeated and win the BCS Title. Honestly speaking and placing all loyalties aside, where do you see the Texas Longhorns finishing this season? And does Colt McCoy win the Heisman?


AFC East
Patriots-12-4 (tough schedule, but Brady's back, and defense is finally healthy)
Jets- 8-8 (Good coach, great defense, but not a very great QB situation with Sanchez and Clemens)
Bills- 6-10 (They didn't get a lot better from last year, except T.O and that's it, bad coach, bad offense)
Dolphins- 5-11 (Clearly a tough schedule, Pennington might not have a great year, he may never bounce back from the playoff game against the Ravens)

AFC North
1. Steelers- 10-6 (SB champs, and they still have a great defense, but their offense still needs some work)
2.Bengals- 9-7 (They have improved a lot, they lost houzmenzadah, but they added a lot more to help Carson Palmer and that offense looks pretty good)
3.Ravens- 7-9 (They're a lot worse this year, they lost a lot of defensive players and they need more weapons for Flacco to succeed)
4.Browns- 6-10 ( Bad QB situation, bad offense, but that defense is getting better)

AFC West
1. Chargers- 11-5 (This is a very bad division, also the chargers have a great offense, and Merriman's coming back on defense, and they also drafted a very good DE with English)
2. Cheifs 8-8 (This team will improve with Haley coaching, the additions of Cassel, Vrabel, and Jackson will help this team on both sides of the ball but they will never get over the loss of Tony Gonzales)
3. Raiders 6-10 (The Raiders keep seemingly improving every year, this year isn't their breakout year but watch out for them in maybe 2 or 3 years)
4. Broncos 4-12 (They lost Cutler, the added Dawkins and other good players but the loss of a franchise QB will never put a team over the hump)

AFC South
1. Colts- 11-5 (You would think the loss of Tony Dungy would make this team horrible but you need to remember who is playing QB for the colts, Peyton Manning is a very great and stable QB who can make bad teams into playoff teams)
2. Texans- 10-6 ( I know every year people say this is gonna be a breakout year for the Texans and I believe that this is their year, their QB situally I believe is finally solved, they have a improving defense, and they have Andre Johnson to throw it to!)
3. Jaguars- 7-9 ( This team needs a world of improvement from last year, but Jones-Drew is a consistent back who will help the jaguars win a few games this year)
4. Titans- 2-14 ( Kerry Collins won't have the same year, and the loss of Albert Haynesworth is a huge blow to that defense)

AFC playoff teams
1. Patriots (12-4)
2.Colts (11-5)
3. Chargers (11-5)
4. Steelers (10-6)
5.Texans (10-6)
6.Bengals (9-7)

NFC

NFC East

1. Eagles 13-3 (Mcnabb now has more weapons then he's ever had and even though the defense lost Dawkins, the defense will hold up)
2. Giants 8-8 (The Giants still don't have any veteran receivers who can be dominant deep threats, and the offense will struggle)
3. Redskins 8-8 (Defense is now great with Haynesworth, now only if they could have a better offence, they need more Touchdowns.
4.Cowboys 6-10 ( It's not that I hate the cowboys it's just that they lost T.O, and I don't favor Roy Williams being a better receiver than T.O)

NFC North
1. Vikings 12-4 (Great defense, phoenominal running back with adrian peterson, and if they got Favre who knows what they could do!)
2. Packers 10-6 (Great offense, they've done good in the offseason to sure up the defense.)
3. Bears- 8-8 ( They got Cutler but they still don't have any weapons for him, aging defense but they can still get the job done)
4. Lions 2-14 ( This is pretty Obvious they are bad, Stafford won't start this year but they pull out some wins this year)

NFC West
1. Cardinals 10-6 ( mostly Everyone on the team is back and they're ready to make another run)
2. 49ers 9-7 ( the addition of Crabtree will help their offense and they will have a good defense, but they'll just miss the playoffs)
3. Seahawks 7-9 (Hasselback is back but suprisingly this division will be tough and they will not get enough wins to make the playoffs)
4. Rams 5-11 (This year will be an improvement for the Rams but they are still a mediocre team with a mediocre offense and defense)

NFC South

1. Saints 12-4 (They have made their defense better and this year they'll be back in the playoffs with their offense leading them)
2. Falcons 10-6 (The Falcons found a franchise QB with Matt Ryan, great running game, alright defense, and they will be a much better team with Tony Gonzales)
3. Panthers 6-10 ( Very tough schedule, Delhomme is running out of fuel, Peppers will likely not have a good season after trying to hold out and they really only have a good running game)
4. Buccaneers 5-11 (This is a rebuilding year for the bucs and they need it, losing so many vets and they won't rebound this year)

NFC playoff teams
1. Eagles (13-3)
2.Saints (12-4)
3. Vikings (12-4)
4. Cardinals (10-6)
5. Packers (10-6)
6. Falcons (10-6)

Playoffs: I don't how the entire playoff schedule works so work with me

THE AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE
AFC SOUTH:
colts - 12-4 (seed 3)
texans - 10-6 (seed 5)
titans - 8-8
jaguars - 7-9

afc south summary- the afc south is giong to be a much stronger than years past (scary). The texans are now the second best team now that the titans don't have big al. The problem is that everyone in the division can't win, sorry jags!


AFC NORTH:
ravens - 13-3 (seed 1)
steelers - 9-7
bengals - 6-10
browns - 4-12

afc north summary- remember in 2006 when the ravens went 13-3? what did they have then that they don't have now? oh, right, they had a bad quarterback. the steelers won't rebound too well just like the last superbowl. the bengals don't have t.j. and he's half the reason palmer was so great. the browns suck.



AFC WEST:
chargers - 12-4 (seed 2)
broncos - 8-8
chiefs - 8-8
raiders - 4-12

afc west summary- the chargers will win the division no doubt, and the second seed in a tiebreaker over the colts. the broncos and chiefs are both decent, but broncos are going down and chiefs are going up. the raiders will suck as usual.



AFC EAST:
patriots - 10-6 (seed 4)
dolphins - 9-7 (seed 6)
bills - 8-8
jets - 5-11

afc east summary- patriots will win only because the dolphins have such a tough schedule. I'd like to believe that the bills will do good, but they are just a team that exists, they complete the 32 team format and give the nfl a few good games a year. the jets will be better on defense, but suck on offense with sanchez at the helm.

AFC PLAYOFFS:
texans at patriots- texans win 27-17
dolphins at colts- colts win 34-27

texans at chargers- chargers win 29-10
colts at ravens- colts win 17-14

colts at chargers- colts win 24-21

afc playoff summary- the texans win the franchises first playoff game ever. the patriots are stunned, but after a year of sitting at home during the playoffs, they just can't deliver. the dolphins lose to the colts in a shootout, but the dolphins just don't have enough offensive firepower. the texans play the chargers and lose in the only game of the playoffs that is uncompetitive. the colts beat the ravens on the road, driven by the prospect of a superbowl in caldwell's first year. the colts win in san diego and head to the superbowl. Antonio gates under performs in the game which leads to a loss. antonio gates averaged 9 receptions for 112 yards and a touchdown a game. by far the best postseason by a tight end. He is the key to chargers victories but only has 5 catches for 68 yards this game, with one costly fumble.




THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL CONFERENCE
NFC SOUTH:
falcons - 12-4 (seed 2)
saints - 10-6 (seed 6)
panthers - 6-10
bucs - 4-12


nfc south summary- Matt Ryan tears it up and the saints get the playoff berth they've always deserved. the panthers just can't match last seasons performance and live up to the hype. The Bucs are just going to suck this year, its hard to explain...


NFC NORTH:
Vikings - 11-5 (seed 3)
Bears - 9-7
Packers - 8-8
Lions - 3-13

nfc north summary- the vikings are still on top, but not for long, they're about to go into a period of being a bottom-barrel team. The bears will improve with Cutler, but he won't have the weapons on offense he had with the broncos. the packers are about to become a great team. The lions.... well, they improved!

NFC WEST:
Cardinals - 10-6 (seed 4)
Seahawks - 8-8
49ers - 7-9
Rams - 1-15

nfc west summary- the cardinals deserve a lot more respect now, and they STILL don't get it. The seahawks are better if Hasselbeck is healthy, but not a playoff team. The 49ers are on an upward trend, they start out 5-3 and finish 2-6. the Rams take the lions spot as the worst team in the league.


NFC EAST:
Eagles- 13-3 (seed 1)
Giants - 10-6 (seed 5)
Redskins - 9-7
Cowboys- 5-11

nfc east summary- the eagles will be monstrous this season, i just know it. the giants are always a good team, and they actually manage 10 wins without burress. Bradshaw steps in nicely for ward with 7+ touchdowns as a backup. The redskins are improved with big al, but it doesn't show in the win loss column because of a few close losses. The offense needs a little push in the offseason. The cowboys are about to have an off-year.



NFC PLAYOFFS
Giants at Cardinals- Giants win 27-21(OT)
Saints at Vikings- Vikings win 44-42

Giants at Falcons- Falcons win 28-14
Vikings at Eagles- Eagles win 14-7

Falcons at Eagles- Eagles win 23-20

nfc playoff summary- The giants win because of a costly interception by kurt. and the vikings beat the saints in a shootout, the surprising mvp of the game is tavaris jackson, who throws for 2 touchdowns and rushes for 2. The Falcons shatter all hopes of a manning bowl with a great performance by ryan. the eagles beat the vikings because of some great running by westbrook, who runs for over 125 yards and receives 8 passes for 100+ yards. The Eagles head to the superbowl after The falcons commit 6 turnovers, two by mat


I live and breath Texans football, I have been by there side since day one. I finally feel that the time has come for Houston to make that next step. The reason I say this is that the Texans have an easy schedule this year and seeing how they beat the Jags (almost twice) beat the Titans and came so close to beating the Colts. Now that we have a better defense going into this year with last years third top offense. What do ya'll think?


Just want to know some opinions. Here's mine.

AFC East: Patriots. This all comes down to Brady. The supporting cast is better and deeper than it was in '07 but will Brady be able to successfully return at 100%? Even if he doesn't this division is pretty weak since the Fins have a very tough schedule. I think they will be be a better team with a worse record than last year.
AFC North: Steelers. I predict a sophomore slump for Flacco.
AFC West: Chargers. Not a great team, simply better than the rest. Hopefully the return of Merriman will spark the bolts defense.
AFC South: Colts. Manning's comments on the coaching does not concern me. After all who is really calling the plays on offense. I'll give you a hint, he is not on the sidelines.

AFC Wildcard #1: Baltimore Ravens
AFC Wildcard #2: Houston Texans

NFC East: Eagles. The giants without Burress just has not been the same team. The cowboys will continue to be a disaster and don't even get me started on the skins.
NFC North: This Division could be very interesting. I know Da Bears are a popular pick with the addition of Cutler, but who is he going to throw the ball to? Vikings have QB instability but who cares who is throwing the ball, they are all about the backfield and they have the best in the business. Vikings win the division again.
NFC West: The luck of the Super Bowl Losers is very low. The chance of a Cards repeat trip is very unlikely. My riskiest pick by far, I think the Singletary-led 49ers will take this division.
NFC South: The Saints. History shows that the loser of the NFC South of one year wins the division the next year. If the Saints defense can become even half-decent, this becomes one of the best teams around.

NFC wildcard #1: Giants. Even without a legitimate vertical threat the Giants remain a contender.
NFC Wildcard #2: Packers: Rodgers is the real deal with numbers to back it up. If the Pack's conversion to the 3-4 defense is successful this team should be a contender. Look for Ryan Grant to make an impact or take a pay cut.
Well, thanks for the responses. I can't understand why anybody would think the Dolphins could win the AFC East this year. They have the toughest schedule in the NFL this year and unlike the Steelers they don't have the ability to overcome that hump. Don't get me wrong, I like what Parcells is doing down there, they are a young, talented team but let's face it the Wildcat worked in one game against the Pats. They could not even use the formation with success for two games against the Pats. Additionally the Pats best cb is probably Leigh Bodden, Ellis Hobbes is with the Eagles now.


AFC East
New England 12-4 (as long as Brady is healthy)
Buffalo Bills 9-7 (T.O. and Evans lead great air attack)
Miami Dolphins 7-9 (hard to live up to last year with hard schedule)
New York Jet 5-11 (no receivers)

AFC North
Pittsburgh Steelers 12-4 (hard not to pick the super bowl winner)
Baltimore Ravens 8-8 (will miss Ryan on defense)
Cincinnati Bengals 7-9 (ochocinco and Palmer comeback)
Cleveland Browns 4-12 (quarterback and receiver drama with a bad coach)

AFC South

San Diego Chargers 10-6 (good offense in bad defense division)

Dallas Cowboys 13-3 (have lot of pressure)
New York Giants 10-6 (need better help to replace Plaxico)

Chicago Bears 12-4 (Cutler pushes them back to first)
Minnesota Vikings 10-6 (good running game but no QB)

The vet just came and did a general checkup on both my horses my mare and gelding. And she thought that she might be pregnant so she did some tests and found out that my mare is heavy with foal. I wasn't aware of this as her previous owner never told me i thought she was just a little overweight or something. I don't know if its a colt or filly and i don't know how far along she is boy do i feel stupid! She's scheduled for some more testing but i've never had a pregnant horse before. What should i do! Any help is greatly appreciated!Rose says thank you!
i don't have children
