I'm a huge Giants fan, but I work in Philly. You won't believe the amount of abuse I put up with.

I think the Vikings will royally suck this year. Culpepper no longer has Moss. Williamson is a rookie..can't bank on him. Also, Mike Tice is still your coach. I can honestly say he is probably the worst coach in the NFL. He has no control over his players.

They won games without Moss last year. The rest of the offense is still good, Moss wasn't their only receiver, and Culpepper is still a great QB. WR's have the easiest time transitioning to the NFL of any player so Williamson could feasibly have a good year, especially with such a solid team around him. Plus you can't deny how much better their defense will be.

WRs have the easiest transition? No way. For every Roy Williams there are a dozen Reggie Williams. WRs have the toughest transition besides QBs and it usually takes them 3 years to produce up to their potential.

Yes, but the top of draft WR's usually are the ones who contribute early. See Boldin, Calico, Branch, Williams etc...

Plaxico was a HUGE part of their offense. Plaxico and Big Ben worked on "secret plays" where Plaxico would abandon the route, and run a different route. This was HUGE in helping out Ben. The offense will be easily be worse without him. They might make the playoffs next year, but they aren't a contender.

you have no idea what your talking about. ben has denied having any "secret plays" with burress. and no, plex was not that huge in helping ben. he normally dropped half of the passes that went his way or tripped over his own feet instead of running into the endzone.

the steelers got a stud of a tight end from the draft who can still give ben a big target and they picked up a speed guy from the 49ers that can stretch the field.

if ben plays like he did last year, they should be better then ever.

Finally a man of reason! I mean come on Vikes in the Super Bowl? And let me remind you the last time they made it to the NFC Championship game was with Moss and Carter. NO WAY this young Vikings team is going anywhere but DOWN!!!!

GO BEARS! NFC North Champs! (If they can stay healthy)

 

[Saulbadguy]

I think DE's and DT's have the easiest transition, followed by WR's.

What idiot pothead. Got kicked out of UT for it. This is his third violation in the league. Some people are just plain dumb.

Don't underestimate the Ewing effect when it comes to Randy Moss.

NFC:

East: Eagles
North: Green Bay
South: Atlanta
West: Seattle

Wildcards: New York Giants, Detroit Lions

AFC:
East: New York Jets
North: Cincinatti
South: Jacksonville
West: Kansas City

Wildcard: Indianapolis, Buffalo

New England loses both coordinators, has a rough year. Pittsburgh, Roethlisberger suffers from a sophmore slump.

I like your pick of GB taking the NFC North but they have toi win this superbowl too so Farvre can go out in style

Bennet can flat out run.

Oh..and the Titans will finish the season first in the division and make the AFC Championship.

Just kidding! We'll end up 7-9 and I'll be at every game cheering them on. Or crying a lot.

San Francisco 49ers>>>>>>> all

Oh wait, that was the 80s, now its the other way around

BTW, I just had a brain fart. What's the name of the cable package where you get all the NFL games? I totally forgot what it is.

While I'm a Jets fan at heart, I live in Pittsburgh right now and I must say the Steelers are quite good!

You must be right, that's why it is the most popular sport in the U.S. with the largest T.V. contract (I'm guessing on that one).

He's probably a Canadian

and do you REALLY expect Ben to say "Yes, I ignored the coach's drawn up plays, I decided mine were better." ?

You do realize that Plaxico was only our 2nd best WR, and we ran the ball like 68% of the time? A #2 WR is not going to cost them the playoffs.

He does. But now he has a legit deep threat, which he did not have last year, and he may actually have more than a fraction of a second to throw it.

Too lazy to write up a reason for each...

AFC
North: Baltimore
South: Indy
East: Buffalo
West: Kansas City
Wildcard: Pitt, New England

NFC
North: Minny
South: Carolina
East: Philly
West: St Lous
Wilcard: Green Bay, Atlanta

Champs: Duh...

Oh and my Buffalo pick is kinda silly, but I wanted to be like one of those cool sports commentators who makes edgy picks.
