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.

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 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 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.
