The Official 2004 Prediction Thread

Tommy Maddox (holding a place for Ben Roethlisberger) and Carson Palmer (never thrown an NFL pass) good QBs?

The teams to watch for are Carolina, Seattle, Pittsburgh, Jets and Cinncinati. Theses teams have good QBs and coaches and are a year away from being serious contenders.

by week 8 Bill Parcells slips on a noodle on the ground of an all u can eat Chinease buffet and is unable to finish coaching the season, thus solidifying the cowboys dismal year of 4-12.

Skins sweep Dallas and NYG, go 1-1 against Philly, Skins final record is 12-4, superbowl champs over the Colts

Cowher is fired in Pittsburgh after another losing season, as is MIke Tice in Minnesota.

Cardinals, under Denny Green, make the wild card

Robert Gallery = Tony Mandarich

Colts (13-3): James and Harrison will be motivated with the lure of new contracts

if harrison has been playing as well as he has being unmotivated then holy *$#! cuz thats a scary ass thought.(well not too scary since he's on one of my fantasy football teams :D )

While I have seen many people saying Taylor is a lock for DROY, I'm gonna take it a step further and say he wins the overall Defensive Player of the Year award as well.
OROY goes to Matt Schaub(qbs almost always win this) while the overall Offensive player of the year(atleast I think there's also a offensive player of the year award, lol) goes to L. Tomlinson who somehow has an ever better overall year than last year.
NFC division winners:Minnesotta, Washington, Seattle, and New Orleans
NFC wildcards: Atlanta(schaub comes in for a dinged up Vick and steals the team from him) and Green Bay
AFC division winners: Indiannapolis, New England, Pittsburgh(reclaim their old swager), Kansas City(who romps their way to the SB)
AFC wildcards:Oakland and Jacksonville

skins finish 10-6 and win the division, but lose in the confrence championship game to Minnesotta who beat the Chiefs in the most explosive offensive SB ever with multiple SB records falling in that game.
Dallas finishes behind the Giants and the eagles don't even make the playoffs after Mcnabb gets hurt again near the middle of the season.

Coach of the year goes to Jack Del Rio, league MVP goes to Daunte Culpepper who also wins SB MVP.

The suprise teams of each confrence will be the San Diego Chargers who have an 8-8 season with a couple key spoiler upsets while also having a couple very close loses(and they use the pick traded to them from NY to select Mike Williams) and the Falcons who under the leadership of Matt Schaub make the playoffs after being left for dead halfway through the season which causes the unthinkable, a qb controversy involving the most explosive offensive player in the league aka Vick.

Gruden comes very close to losing his job this year, while Mike Shannahan and Wannstead do lose theirs.

Key Redskin achievements are:Portis rushes for over 1700 yards and 18 TDs(plus 450 receiving yards and 3 receiving TDs)/ Brunnel earns another Pro Bowl visit with over 3300 yards passing and a better than 2-1 ratio of TDs to ints/ the defense has roughly 15-20 more sacks than last year/ all of our starting lbs(washington, arrington, and peirce) make the pro bowl with wash. and arr. named as starters and peirce as an alternate/ Coles plays through the pain and has a similar statistical year to last year except with an improvement of 4-5 TDs/ and our entire WR group plays well with Taylor Jacob slowly emerging part way through the year and by the end of the year he has been pushed up to 2nd or 3rd on the depth chart.

Ade Jimoh leads team with 18 TDs! :cool-smil

i meant to add in mine that we once again become the last team to beat the eventual SB champs as we defeat Minnesotta in our season finale after having sealed the divisional crown the week before.

Ade Jimoh leads team with 18 TDs! :cool-smil

You mean 18 TDs allowed right :D

Skins 10-6 after starting 1-4, then going 9-2 over the last eleven weeks of the season. Wild card berth and they will travel to Seattle for the wild card game where Gibbs defense totally shuts Alexander down (less than 30 yds rushing in the game) and the skins win big. Then travel to Philly and get beat by a horrible pass interference call on Ade Jimoh (in for the injured Springs) with 5 seconds to play in double OT!

my only prediction, the Panthers win no more then 8 games.

Redskins 12-4
Sweep of Cowboys and Eagles

Opposing players cry when they have to go through the Redskins secondary, some bring notes from their Mommy.

Redskins beat the Broncos in the SB. Champ Bailey asks for a trade.
