I don't see Indy returning the the SB. In fact I think New England is the favorite in the AFC. Baltimore has way to many injuries and a old defense. I'm not buying the Jets yet simply because I don't trust Sanchez.

I like the Colts as a team, but I think the AFC rep is going to be Balt or NE( maybe the Jets). Both are hungry and the Colts are aging. Throw in Cincy and Tenn in the mix and you will get a fun AFC race this season, but I don't think the Colts are SB bound. Of course I can be wrong, but the Colts have already hit the zenith of their power. Tennessee??? That's not happening GMScud 08-20-2010, 12:18 AM I don't see Indy returning the the SB. In fact I think New England is the favorite in the AFC. Baltimore has way to many injuries and a old defense. I'm not buying the Jets yet simply because I don't trust Sanchez. I think it's going to revert back to the way things were a few years ago, and it will be Colts/Pats. Brady's knee injury is a full two years behind him now, and they've gotten younger in some areas including key spots on D. If I had to pick my 6 AFC playoff teams right now, I'd say Chargers, Pats, Colts, and Bengals, with the wildcards to be claimed by two of these three teams: Ravens, Jets, Texans. Lotus 08-20-2010, 12:19 AM Colts are #1 in ESPN polls. That HAS to mean if we destroyed the Bills and the Bills are beating the #1 team, we are by definition, the new #1 team in the NFL. Super Bowl. Ship it. Lol. Why preseason results should never be trusted. :) GusFrerotte 08-20-2010, 12:22 AM Tennessee??? That's not happening Tennesee isn't bowlbound, just might be a monkeywrench to someone's season though. The thing is they are not on anybody's radar screen, which is good for them. skinsfaninok 08-20-2010, 12:26 AM As long as tenn. Has 28 they will be solid. Vy has to make some throws for them to be a playoff team. GusFrerotte 08-20-2010, 12:45 AM As long as tenn. Has 28 they will be solid. Vy has to make some throws for them to be a playoff team. He(VY) showed promise last year so I think they will be a good team. They aren't going to the SB, but might sneak in for a wildcard, which knocks one of the preseason favs out. All the preseason hype about the Jets isn't going to help them out, now that the Pats have regrouped and the Ravens have retooled their offense. Sanchez is going to be a solid QB, but last season he was more of a game manager than a real genuine QB. If he continues to develop the Jets will be indeed a force to be reckoned with, but I think the hype is going to mess them up. Ryan put a target on him and his team. gafinfan 08-20-2010, 05:18 AM Serious question, do you guys really put any faith in preseason games as far as the whole team goes? Sorry but I don't, which is not to say that preseason games aren't instructive, but more so in indivual battles and camp time should count too imho. Case in point, if one only goes by 1 preseason game then the Redskins win the SB by default and Rex Grossman is MVP. Now I think Shannhan has the Redskins headed in the right direction and imho there is a SB in your future I think a year one appearance is asking alittle to much. I can't see any moves that weren't a positive for you and injuries have been held to a minimun and luck always plays a part so with that a 10/11 game win season would be great, don't you think? As for my AFC East: Most media outlets have had a love crush on the Pats since they started winning and thru the 2006 season I think they were right in their assessment. Since then they've lost their core group both on offense and defense. What you've seen with Fred Taylor in preseason will disappear once the real bullets are flying and could very well be on IR by mid season yet they still have Brady and its his arm they will ride off into the sunset. My personal feeling about the rest of the AFC East is that it will be a dog fight between all four teams with the Bills ending up as the bottom feeder but only because of their lack of a good QB and the injury bug. While I hate the J-E-T-S with a passion Rex will have his team playing hard yet Sanchez is going to be the key and I feel he will have another up and down year. I also think he will implode at home in Nov./Dec. when the winds blow and the cold weather hits. As for my Dolphins I feel Mike Nolan was our best pickup of the off season and for a team ranked 20th in defense in 09 we surely needed a Mike Nolan type change. I wish I could say glowing things about Chad Henne with conviction but he still needs to show it on the field and imho he hasn't so far, he is still lacking in feeling the pressure and reacting quickly enough and although B. Marshall was a great pickup and should make the whole offense better. If one only goes by the first preseason game then the Henne -Marshall connection is a sham, btw I'm not one to use weather, mud, or wet balls as an excuse. If one pays a Marshall type player top #1 money then he better catch the dang ball! So there you have my honest opinion on the AFC East and my prediction as to the winner, it will be desided during the last two or three games of the season, quite possibly the very last game, we shall see. rbanerjee23 08-20-2010, 05:19 AM Colts are #1 in ESPN polls. That HAS to mean if we destroyed the Bills and the Bills are beating the #1 team, we are by definition, the new #1 team in the NFL. Super Bowl. Ship it. That is the most irrefutable logic I have ever seen written on Warpath. Were it not for 2 or 3 gaping holes, I would submit that to be written into law. :) aceinthehouse 08-20-2010, 06:12 AM fell asleep and missed the game. I'm sure they play it again on NFL network. NFL showed they scored 21 pt's in the 1st qtr though...Hmmm...trent edwards for a TD pass to Lee evans and Spillar for a TD... 2 things struck me by this info... I'm not insane for predicting us to go 14-2 (at the moment) My bet with an eagles fan that we will drop 40 on dallas opening night is a bet...I may actually win..lol |
