2012 Season Predictions...

[Risen Star]

The offseason's over, the preseason games are completed and the rosters are set. Time for season predictions.

Here are mine. Probably not worth the time to even put them together, the NFL season is so unpredictable, but I love to look back on what I got right and wrong.

-

NFC East
Eagles 10-6
Cowboys 8-8
Giants 7-9
Commanders 7-9

No disrespect to the world champs. I still think they're the best team in the division but I'm expecting a Super Bowl hangover. The Commanders make some noise.


NFC North
Packers 12-4
Lions 10-6
Bears 10-6
Vikings 4-12

The best 1-3 in the conference but the Packers are still the cream of the crop.


NFC South
Saints 11-5
Panthers 9-7
Falcons 8-8
Buccaneers 6-10

I don't buy the Saints are gonna fall apart. I need to see it first. The Falcons get a lot of love but they always seem to underachieve.


NFC West
49ers 12-4
Seahawks 7-9
Cardinals 5-11
Rams 4-12

Worst division in the conference by a lot.


Playoff Seeding
1) Packers
2) 49ers
3) Saints
4) Eagles
5) Lions
6) Bears

5) Lions over 4) Eagles
3) Saints over 6) Bears

1) Packers over 5) Lions
2) 49ers over 3) Saints

1) Packers over 2) 49ers

----


AFC East
Patriots 12-4
Bills 9-7
Jets 7-9
Dolphins 4-12

Nobody really capable of competing with the Patriots.


AFC North
Steelers 11-5
Ravens 10-6
Bengals 8-8
Browns 5-11

I could flop flop daily on Ravens/Steelers or Steelers/Ravens. I'll stick with the better QB.


AFC South
Texans 11-5
Titans 7-9
Colts 6-10
Jaguars 2-14

Luck will win more than people think. The Jaguars are on the clock.


AFC West
Broncos 11-5
Chargers 9-7
Chiefs 8-8
Raiders 6-10

I'm counting on Peyton being Peyton and Norv being Norv.


Playoff Seeding
1) Patriots
2) Texans
3) Steelers
4) Broncos
5) Ravens
6) Chargers

4) Broncos over 5) Ravens
3) Steelers over 6) Chargers

4) Broncos over 1) Patriots
3) Steelers over 2) Texans

3) Steelers over 4) Broncos


Super Bowl XLVII
Packers 31 Steelers 27

Anyone, not just you RS that picks the eagles is just pure homerism...they have a great DL but pretty avg after that..with their biggest weakness being at the most important position on the field where they have glass, then a rookie, then someone they pulled out of retirement.

 

[EvilJerry88]

Danny Coale as Offensive Rookie of the year? No.

 

[dadymat]

RS you made a mistake.....you accidentally put D Ware as DOPY....that goes against everything we know about you.....

[CowboysFanSince88]

Eagles only win 10 games if vick plays most of 14. Not very likely

if Vick plays 14 games the Eagles lose atleast 7 of them since he has stuck to his nickname which is "Mr. All or Nothing"

He will either throw a 90yd TD pass or a INT that will be returned for 90 yards

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

Oh I forgot to name my Super Bowl winner.

Cowboys win 30-27 over the Broncos and Romo wins MVP with a three TD, 300 yard, 0 picks performance.

And then you woke up

 

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

And then you woke up

No I was wide awake when I made that prediction. I'm optimistic because we heavily upgraded our defense by adding two terrific players in the secondary in Morris Claibourne and Brandon Carr. The days of teams marching right down the field against us are over. Our offense will be very explosive because we have one of the best quarterbacks in the world in Tony Romo, a borderline elite running back in DeMarco Murray, and plenty of weapons at Romo's disposal in Miles Austin, Dez Bryant, Jason Witten, Kevin Ogeltree, Dwayne Harris, and Cole Beasley. Our offensive line is shaky, but so was the Giants last year and the Packers the year before. We have a mobile quarterback so we can get by with a shaky offensive line.

Describing our OL as "shaky" is being nice.

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

Describing our QB as one of the best in the world is INSANE



BTW: I just realized Romo was injured in 2010 so I can't fault him for not making the playoffs that season

Only 2008 and 2011

Lmao...it's "insane" to say someone in the top ten of their profession WORLD WIDE is one of the best at his job?

Interesting.

He can't be considered top 10 if the team was not in the playoffs last year

No it's not insane. Last year Romo had a TD/INT ratio of 31/10. That's phenomenal not to mention throwing for over 4,000 yards and yet again having a QB rating of over 100. To say he's not one of the best quarterbacks in the world is insane.

Maybe, but they're not any worse than the Giants OL last season or Green By the year before.

 

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

Absolutely ridiculous statement. You refuse to take into account that he had a below average offensive line and a defense that couldn't hold leads if their lives depended on it.
