Based on Cutler's performance against the Raiders, i'm going to predict 4300 yds and 35 TD's.
Cause you know, the preseason is a good indicator of performance in the regular season.
I'm not sure if his turnover's will be closer to 15 than 25 though...

+1 on the creepy rodger's 70's biker cop/porn stache. He's from California and works in Wisconsin, maybe his warped sensibilities makes him think that's a good look? Like grizzly but clean cut at the same time? Lol...

Michael Vick ... Reggie Bush..... Vernon Davis....Chris Johnson.....Calvin Johnson....CJ Spiller..

I cant wait till the season starts... all of these Dudes are going to Explode this year...

Sorry Jerry Rice... Madden Curse Killer MegaTron is going to break your yards records and Randy Moss... Say Goodbye to your TD record :)

Andrew Luck is going to be the best QB in the league this year... Adding DHB to the WR group is going to be pay off HUGE.... Don't you love contract years

Two of those guys play for the Lions!!! :biggrin:

Passing and receiving records don't really mean much any more.

The game is different now.

Teams aren't allowed to play any REAL defense anymore.

Imagine Dan Marino playing today!

He passed for 5000 yds. in a season, when it was unheard of.

Manning looks like a old man w/ a beer gut... from all the pappa johns pizza he eats....
Rodgers NEEDS to SHAVE... ASAP, needs butt-less biker chaps and a leash for hes outfit...
Brady has reached the end of hes' dynasty... he'll just play catchup, and blame everyone-else......

time for the youngsters to stepUP, and begin the New Era of youthful Quarterbacks....

Blah, Blah, rings are still rings.

I'll take the Broncos or Packers this year over the Redskins, Seahawks, or Niners! :moon:

Pats have too much going on, too many distractions.

They'll play well no doubt, but they lost A LOT in the off season.

My favorite team is the one who covers the spread. On the bright side for us Dallas fans Dez Bryant is looking really good and they seem healthy. Can't help but think they do no better than 8-8 and miss the playoffs as usual, but maybe with monte as D cord and Callahan as running the O Garrett can maybe acutally pay attention and coach a decent game. I am so excited for football I even catch myself watching the 4th quarter of these preseason games.

Dont discount the young guns. Any one of these QB's and their teams catch fire late in the season, a la the Ravens last year, Giants before that and Packers before that, they could make a run to the title easy...
I should have laid some money down on the superbowl bets. I guess the broncos are favored, at what, 5-2 odds?

my niners looked ready, liked how they kept kap in the pocket and got seneca to do the pistol. ez

Seneca played the last few mins of the game, makes sense since he joined the team like 3 days before. That kid BJ Daniels got a lot of run, showed he's got some speed. How was his arm?

right on azez! I'm over the Jets and have decided to make SF the team I'm rooting for.

This might be Jon Gruden's last year in the MNF booth, maybe he'll take the Jets job for next year.
Rex Ryan, his mouth and one-dimensional coaching ability just couldnt last in NY...

Yeah, maybe this is the year Romo puts it all together, maybe goes on a lucky/hot streak that ends in playoff success.

What are the early lines for week 1? Time to get my overseas betting account active again, if those bastids havent eaten my balance up with monthly fees and shite...

I will never be a cj2k believer....that guy has got to have the lowest IQ in the nfl...vick's old and injury prone but is VERY likely do well in CK's offense...throwing for his life! also i think calvin johnson will see a drop in production, reggie gets the rock a lot this season and johnsons touches will drop...he's just gonna peel the top off the d's and make teams open up the front for reggie...deadly combo....

i otherwise agree with you SS...spiller will be even more deadly with manuel under center.

I hope your right about luck, he was the best remaining option @ qb in that league by the time i got a qb....he's been looking really good all preseason and he's got weapons everywhere around him, ty hilton will have a big year...just gotta hope that o-line toughens up a bit....

Titans O-Line looks way better plowing holes wide open... Kenny Britt is looking explosive again... Shonne Greene is going to be Lendale White and keep CJ2K highly motivated

I think he goes for 2,000 all purpose rushing/reciving yards

Vick if you can add his stats over preseason and add it to one game... like 385 yards passing and 100+ yards rushing... with Rg3 coming from injury and Cam Newton trying to play more of pocket passer this season..Vick will be the best Rushing QB.... I see Vick if he stays healthy...which is a big IF easily jumps into the top 5 QB's... a couple of seasons ago...he was the #1 Fantasy Football Player

Calvin owned the league last year with Zero Help in the running game and only ended up 5 total touchdowns while racking up 1900+ yards... Reggie looking primed to explode like Marshall Faulk in his prime... I see Calvin getting way more 1 on 1 coverage... and we all know how that's going to end... He's like Shaq... 1 on 1 your never going to win...

T.O even has a lower IQ than CJ2K and was one of the best to ever play the game hands down...not to mention you ever listen so Adrian Peterson Speak?

Football IQ for a Running Back is not needed ... That's more for the QB.. Backs just need to be physically gifted and being that CJ2k has the fastest 40 time ever at the combine... 4.24 and has had a 2,000 yard season under his belt... I cant see anything indicating this guy doesn't go off this year... he always stays healthy too...

In PPR Reggie and CJ2k are primed for Top 5 RB's..

Now Andrew Luck...that's Football IQ for that ass... he's got the chance to the Numero Uno QB this year... With Bradshaw in the backfield and Hayward-Bey looking sick in his contract year... I see big things from Luck... once in a generation type of Talent

lol yep who can forget about terell...your absolutely right. it just goes to show that if your dumb you better be a good athlete or your screwed. I'm not sayin cj2k can't do it, just that i have a hard time jumping on board the short bus even if its pullin 10 second quarters.

fwiw, i feel that reggie is more of a passing threat than an actual rb, but yeah...better not leave calvin alone...thats why im saying calvin draws doube coverage, reggie gets the gouda....just throwin that one at ya cuz i got reggie in my flex slot and i know your rockin calvin ;)

cant wait for wk 1. the pack is goin down! aldon will have 3+ sacks reid gets an int, kaep throws for 300 & 3td's runs for one 45-14...make the cheeseheads remember the divisional rd again and again lol

Any 9er fans still missing Alex Smith? LOL....I TOLD you guys Kaep was the real deal!

I picked up Jamaal Charles for my fantasy league because...

1. He's a beast.

2. Alex is Alex, no matter what team he's on. He'll be handing it off to Charles to avoid getting sacked or throwing picks.

HB.

Im still wishing alex was around....our backup qb situation is a mess....although still better than any qb the jets name as starter! BURN! lol alex has been looking great in kc....not sure if you've been watching the preseason at all but he's looking like he's playing as good as he was when the concussion happened...top 10 qb in the leauge. hate on hater!

don't get me wrong, not saying that having kaep as the starter is a bad thing just that alex is MUCH better than people give him credit for....brees, rodgers, mannings, etc. would look like assclowns playing for singletary too...that guy would make montana look like sanchez.

deez, you know my stance on Smith, I think he is a bum. I guess we'll see how he does with Andy in KC but I doubt big money he puts up numbers anywhere near top 10 qb status. I think he'll get his 2,800-3,200 pass yards and 15-18 TD passes but he is no better than that, even when he played for Harbaugh. The difference IMO between guys likes brees, manning, rodgers, etc and the Alex Smiths of the NFL is that that they would make Singletary look good. Not for nothing but Smith only passed for more than 3k yards in a season 1 time, he ain't close to a franchise lifesaver. Example Andrew Luck in his rookie season passed for more yards(by almost 1200 yards) and TD passes than any season Smith has played in the NFL.

P.S. Smith hater right here, lol.

I drafted smith in my 2 qb league as my 3rd qb (rodgers and wilson are my starters).
he's been more game manager than anything else but reid will have him pass more often than his previous coaches did, ie more chances to pile up stats. Plus he's still accurate, has a low turnover rate, and can run some, so upside is there, in an Andy Reid offense with Dwayne Bowe and Jamaal Charles to throw to.
can he get 4k yards and 30 td's? maybe not, cause he'll have some ugh games as well as good ones, but i think 3800 yards and 28 total td's is within reach for him, making him a serviceable qb2...

I like Vick and want him to do well but i think his turnover problems continue, limiting his success as a starter, probably limiting his career as a starter as well. man is absolutely fearless for a qb, but that hurts his awareness in the pocket and exposes him to injury on scrambles.

Woody Johnson (<----Still sounds like a porn stars name) Rex Ryan & Mark Sanchez = The Axis of Stupid.

I've got no idea what dirt any of them held over one another in order to keep their jobs while making the same fucking mistakes week after week after week & season after motherfucking season.......


I've been a diehard fan since '67 when I got to see my first NFL game @ Shea stadium. Dad was a huge Giants fan and I was a kid who liked the name 'Jets' so dad got Jets tickets for us.

When I was back in NY for work in the 90s I attended most every home game I could, I even sat through the entire Monday Night Miracle game back in 2000, down by 23 points going into the 4th (they scored a total 33 & finally won in OT) the stadium was emptying fast, I moved down to a better seat :).

I cheered and suffered through good n' bad with them but to hang my hopes on a franchise that's self destructive from ownership on down is ridiculous, last year they sucked my football spirit dry, they suck/sucked.

Besides I've been looking for an excuse to visit SF, now I'll have to catch a Niner's game live. The Niners are my new team.


OK Booey, what do you consider 'playoff success' in regards to Romo? Let's make a friendly bet, loser makes a charitable donation to the Humane Society.

I say that if Dallas gets there with Romo @ the helm into the playoffs that he won't get past the 2nd round. He won one game in the '09 season playoffs so I'm suggesting that success means 2 playoff victories.

$50 bet if you dare, loser donates 50 cash and gets a receipt marked 'anonymous' & then provides photo proof. Your neck o' the woods or mine some homeless pets will benefit.


Romo of course would have to be the QB of record starting each of the playoff games, this bet rides on his shoulders.

Hmm, interesting proposition, but Romo has to win two playoff games in order for me to win this bet? That means the 'Boys have to make it to the Superbowl if they get a 1st round bye...
Oooo weee, that's a tall task for any team, much less one with as many flaws as the Cowboys. They have an elite offense but their defense can be stinky poo poo, and im not sure Kiffin and his cover 2 is going to solve that problem in one offseason.
I would think i should get some odds on that bet...

Dez Bryant is going to lead the Cowboys into the Playoffs... He already looks unstoppable in the Pre-Season...not to mention he had a injured finger towards the end of the season when he lit everyone on fire...

Cowboys need a real RB.. Im not sold on Murray..


Serious though Bryant is going to Be challenging Calvin Johnson for #1 WR this year
