Defensewins 05-07-2004, 10:22 AM Redskins vs. New England in Superbowl.
New England on paper is a better team this coming year than last year. With the additions of Corey Dillon, Vince Wolfork, Keith Traylor, Marquise Hill and the return from injury of their best Linebacker Roosevelt Colvin, the Pats should be a better team. Colvin missed most of last season with a hip injury, Colvin is to the Pats like Lavar Arrington is to us. He is their playmaker LB.
Being a big fan of great defense, I am most impressed with the young defensive line they have put together: Richard Seymour, Ty Warren, Vince Wilfork, Marquise Hill, Dan Klecko and the only vet Keith Traylor. Their defense (and in turn their team) is going to be good for a long time. Snyder needs to learn great defenses win championships. If the Pats can get disgruntled Ty Law to show up this year, they will have the best defense in the NFL...period.
The Pats will beat the Colts, who lost their best Linebacker and did not replace him. They drafted two OLB's with the 69th and 107th pick. Rookies drafted that late are unlikley to be immeadiate starters. The Colt's slightly better than average defense is worse than last year.
cpayne5 05-07-2004, 12:23 PM Looks like the Jets are falling under a lot of people's radar.
I'm not saying they're the best in their respective division, but I don't think they're the worst, either.
I think they could be better than the Bills and the Norvless Dolphins.

MOST OVER RATED TEAM COMING INTO THE SEASON: BENGALS - I'LL BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE IT.
MOST UNDER RATED TEAM COMING INTO THE SEASON: BUFFALO BILLS - I THINK THEY WILL BE GREATLY IMPROVED!!! (ALTHOUGH I PICKED THEM TO GO TO THE SUPERBOWL LAST YEAR BEFORE LAST SEASON STARTED...)
Oh, this Iraqi POW issue... STOP ALL THE FRIGGIN APOLOGIZING ALREADY --

the jets have a lot of holes on defense still but they won't be as bad as last year with a completely healthy pettington leading them this entire or atleast majority of the season. the bills r a question mark for me cuz of bledsoe, will he revert back to his probowl status or not, and who's gonna take the place of winfield. but i do think they'll be a strong team this year. plus did they lose sam adams? the dolphins with the addition of boston have vastly improved on offense and i think feeley will do a good job for them. and their defense will always keep them in games but they do have a weakness on the offensive line.
i think a big sleeper this year is houston. houston came close to some very big wins last year and they beefed up their d-line and secondary. plus people shouldn't be looking past the chargers to win some games cuz with a player like tomlinson, u r always in the running for an upset. and rivers is gonna be in the running for rookie of the year.

What about the Lions? They had one of the best drafts this year, and if their rookies live up to expectations they're going to have a dominating offense... imagine if Barry was still there...

i do think they will have an incredible offense...next year. that offense is now going to be extremely young and untested in the nfl so i'm gonna give them a year to gel together. plus i'm not too sure about their o-line or their defense. they definitely r a team on the rise though.

silent1903 05-08-2004, 09:50 AM SuperBowl: two classic superbowl opponents meet again for the third time as miami faces washington. miami starts off strong and have the lead going into half time, but with perfectly placed adjustments the skins offense wreaks havok in the second half as the defense shuts down williams and knocks out the starting qb for miami. MVP goes to portis who breaks the old record held by timmy smith with 214 yards and 3 tds.
this is of course biased, but i firmly believe we have a stronger chance than we have in over a decade to make an impact this season.
And don't tell me, breaks a 4th and 1 for a long TD run deep into the 4th quarter?
daddio3 05-08-2004, 11:07 AM I'd have to beleive that the Skins will make the playoffs. Of course, I ALWAYS think they have a chance this early; if I didn't, my heavy drinking would begin in Sept.

that wouldn't be too bad of a way for him to close out his first year as a redskin. of course it wouldn't be as impactful to the game as riggins run cuz i see the skins winning by more than 7, but it would launch him into the discussion of great redskin runningbacks after only one season if he could pull out something like that.
