A little later than normal, but thats certainly not my fault.
Buffalo Bills (Will win 6 games): This is a very young and very talented team. Two very solid WR's, an explosive RB, a serviceable O-line, and a bunch of impactful rookies on the defensive side of the ball. I LOVED their draft, but at the end of the day... they have nothing but a massive question mark at the QB position. I have been a fan of journeyman signal caller Tyler Thigpen, and would love to see him get a shot. Marcell Darius, Aaron Williams and Kelvin Sheppard could be a foundation on defense that could lead to great things for Buffalo fans and bad things for Jets fans. But without an established QB, they are nothing to worry about in 2011. Imagine if they would have had the guts to take a chance on Mike Vick... or the balls to bring in Vince Young. Late news... They trade away Lee Evans for a 4th round pick. Great work -roll eyes-
Miami Dolphins (Will win 4 games): They were developing an identity with Sporano and Henne. They have all but given up on both of them, and now they are hitching their cart to another highly drafted, former New Orleans RB. How did that work out last time? One final note... they quietly picked up QB Matt Moore. They have let about 500 different guys line up behind center since their favorite son (and superbowl winnless) Marino stepped down, why not give Moore a shot? I like that guy.
New England Patriots (Will win 10 games): DESPERATION anyone? Hanesworth, Ochocinco, Sean Ellis??? They have questions regarding their O-line, and their "little engine that could" backfield is not very intimidating. At some point Brady needs too hit the wall, and Belichicks rings are starting too lose their luster. We need to beat them and go into the playoffs as the AFC East winners.
New York Jets (16-0 fool!): More to come...
Baltimore Ravens (Will win 10 games): I have no idea why they didn't land Braylon Edwards. Edwards and Boldin with Mason in the slot would have been all Flacco would need to dominate. They let Mason walk as well as Heap. As I have said before 2011 is their year. Lewis and Reed are quickly approaching their expiration dates. Their shelf life is almost expired. Two words... Now/Never.
Cincinnati Bengals (Will win 1 game): Oh the many opinions I have expressed about this team. Their owner has been universally recognized as the worst in pro sports. Here's a microcosm: Your QB releases a statement that he refuses to return, and that he will not play another down for your team. You have months upon months to come up with a trade scenario that will benefit your team and your cause the best. In the draft you land a 1st round QB to start a new era and move on. What happens when the lockout is lifted? You give a horrible speech stating that you are disappointed that Carson is not keeping his word and honoring his contract, and you refuse to trade him. He even said "we won't reward him" with a ticket out of Cincinnati. You already have a replacement. Why not work out a deal like Philly and Arizona made where you can land a talented player and a solid draft pick. Arizona would have preferred Palmer over Kolb, and maybe even have given up more. Sad Sad Sad. Oh, and BTW... they drafted that kid because his hair is orange. I am sure that is the extent of their scouting.
Cleveland Browns (Will win 6 games): Make your next move your best move! They off'd Mr Mangini and thats a step in the right direction. They also gave Delhomme his walking papers. They are an old-school football team with guys like Hillis and Cribbs. Colt McCoy is the type of guy you would like to root for. Every team needs a true #1 WR, especially when you are developing a young QB. They have a bunch or #3's and 4's. There was no excuse to not land a game changer at that position considering who was available in the draft and free agency. Maybe they just don't get it.
Pittsburgh Steelers (Will win 11 games): I hate this team and their bratty players. James Harrison said he "wouldn't piss on the commissioner if he was on fire". How is this guy not suspended... for at least 4 games? If a player on any other team would have said that there would be consequences and repercussions. But of coarse they always have and always will get special treatment. I hope we take their two cast off WR's and beat their ass in the playoffs this year.
Houston Texans (Why not 8 games?): I won't waste time on this. Look at my pre-season analysis in 09' and 10'. Nothing ever changes there. Apathetic doesn't even say it well enough.
Indianapolis Colts (Will win 12 games if Manning plays all 16): The next 3 or 4 years will have its ups and downs regarding Mannings' performance. He will have one more shot at the big game, even after people write him off and resurrect him. With the right mix of players he can have one more championship in him. Keep an eye out for my guy Jerry Hughes. He was injured last season. He's primed for a break out in 2011.
Jacksonville Jaguars (Will win 3 games): Rookie QB, same old coach, same old empty stadium, and MJD in career prison. Some teams make decisions regarding players and coaches much too hastily... and some are like fat girls with low self-esteem. They just stick with the same loser. Who do you think the Jaguars resemble more? They signed the oft-injured Poslusnzy from Buffalo, and former NY Jet Drew Coleman. Well those are the missing pieces to a championship puzzle if I have ever seen them. Ummm sarcasm anyone?
Tennessee Titans (Will win 7 games): I think they will pay CJ2K, but is that the right choice? He is amazing... and I use that word sparingly. BUT, he is also very tiny. He already has a lot of milage on him. RB's are like cars. As soon as you drive them off the lot their value plummets. He is a game changer, but with the lack of talent surrounding him, he is going to get beat up really bad. He will probably become disgruntled and start crying as well. So what's the solution? There is none. They suck. As for Hasselbeck... He hit the wall 2 years ago. One good post season game and he gets paid. Crazy.
Denver Broncos (Will win 5 games): When they were flirting with trading Orton and starting Tebow I thought Elway had received one too many blows to the head back in the 80's. Orton is 10 times as good, and he also happens to be a REAL QB. Josh McDaniels absolutely destroyed that team, and it will take a few years to recover. Von Miller #2 overall when you have a swiss cheese D-line... and this may have been the best draft in history for D-line...?? I don't get it.
Kansas City Chiefs (Will win 14 games): How does this team not land Zach Miller? Breaston was a nice add, and Tony Moeaki did a great job at TE last year, but Miller is the missing piece. Imagine McCluster, Bowe, Breaston Moeaki and Miller with Charles and Jones in the backfield, and a solid O-line. They are young and explosive, and their energy is amazing. Hats off to Scott Pioli... maybe he was the brains in New England. Anyone who isn't afraid to take Parcells daughter face down, ass up gets kudos from me. LOL
Oakland Raiders (Will win 5 games): A HA HA HA HA HA LMFAO ROFL HA HA HA HA HA HA. They declined to vote on the CBA. Love it! I will say this... if they move back to southern California I will buy mad Los Angeles Raiders crap. It would be such a throw back to my childhood. That being said, the fans in LA had started to lose interest in the Raiders in the early 90's anyways. What makes them think they will embrace them if they return? Only the Raiders chase random rookies with 4.25 40's and old washed up castoff's and then let a guy like the afore mentioned Zach Miller walk for nothing. They should take down the "commitment to excellence" banners and replace them with "WTF" in bold silver and black.
San Diego Chargers (Will win 8 games): I believe that Rivers is every bit as good as Brees and Brady. How do they not land Braylon Edwards to work with Jackson? Their GM is losing it. How do they let Sproles walk? 4 years and 16 million was not in the budget for an all purpose guy like that? I thought they had the room to spend some cash and get back in the playoff race.
NFC to follow...
