NFL Football General Discussion Thread (2006-2007)
I’m going to start off the discussion with a little preseason top 20.
--------------------------------------------------------
1 (2) Seahawks 13-3-0 Super Bowl losers have struggled in recent years, but the Hawks appear equipped for another run.
--------------------------------------------------------
2 (6) Steelers 11-5-0 Obviously the injuries to Ben Roethlisberger weren't as serious as they could have been. But as much work as it sounded like he needed on his face, it's not going to be an easy road back.
--------------------------------------------------------
3 (1) Colts 14-2-0 With the versatile Edgerrin James now in the desert, Dominic Rhodes and Joseph Addai have big shoes to fill.
--------------------------------------------------------
4 (3) Broncos 13-3-0 Between Jay Cutler and Javon Walker, they've brought in their QB-WR tandem of the future.
--------------------------------------------------------
5 (9) Panthers 11-5-0 There's some question about how Keyshawn Johnson and Steve Smith will get along. As much as both guys want the ball, they also want to win and the Panthers should do enough of that in '06 to keep both WRs happy.
--------------------------------------------------------
6 (4) Patriots 10-6-0 Yes, the Pats lost some key players this offseason. But are you really ready to hand the AFC East to someone else with Brady and Belichick still at the wheel?
--------------------------------------------------------
7 (16) Cowboys 9-7-0 Dallas' offseason was all about T.O. If Owens is the player he was in his first season in Philly (77 receptions for 1,200 yards and 14 TDs), Dallas could be very good.
--------------------------------------------------------
8 (14) Dolphins 9-7-0 If Daunte Culpepper is as healthy as it sounds, the Dolphins got a steal in getting him for a second-round pick.
--------------------------------------------------------
9 (10) Bengals 11-5-0 Tough offseason for the Bengals with all the off-the-field issues. On the field it's pretty simple -- Cincinnati's season rests on the health of Carson Palmer's left knee.
--------------------------------------------------------
10 (12) Redskins 10-6-0 Will this offseason's free-agent spending spree be the one that finally pays off for the Redskins?
--------------------------------------------------------
11 (10) Giants 11-5-0 A WR (Plaxico Burress) and his QB (Eli Manning) don't have to get along. That said, it'll be interesting to see how Burress responds the first few times he's open and Manning misses him.
--------------------------------------------------------
12 (11) Jaguars 12-4-0 A little more production from the passing game and they could become serious contenders in the AFC.
--------------------------------------------------------
13 (5) Bears 11-5-0 The Bears gave up only 12.6 points per game last season and the defense might have to be just as good this year if they want to go back to the playoffs.
--------------------------------------------------------
14 (13) Chiefs 10-6-0 Larry Johnson is the real deal, but we're curious as to how that aging O-line will hold up.
--------------------------------------------------------
15 (7) Buccaneers 11-5-0 Chris Simms was solid last year, but the Bucs will need a few more big plays from the passing attack in 2006.
--------------------------------------------------------
16 (20) Ravens 6-10-0 If he can stay healthy Steve McNair will make the Ravens a better team. But that's a pretty big if.
--------------------------------------------------------
17 (15) Chargers 9-7-0 A huge part of their success depends on how the offense flows through Philip Rivers.
--------------------------------------------------------
18 (21) Eagles 6-10-0 With a healthy Donovan McNabb the Eagles should be right back in the mix in 2006. That said, it's hard to see them being as good as they were in 2004 without T.O.
--------------------------------------------------------
19 (17) Vikings 9-7-0 Steve Hutchinson will obviously help the Vikings. But man, that was a lot of money (7 years and $49 million) to pay for an offensive guard.
--------------------------------------------------------
20 Falcons 8-8-0 We can't imagine that Michael Vick would be benched, but there will be calls for Matt Schaub if Vick continues to struggle.
--------------------------------------------------------

Please converstion flame free. We know everyone has a favorite team, but please don't flame another person for like a team you dislike.

I agree that the Steelers will drop down a few spots on the list. They lost a few key players this offseason. I don't see them leaving top 10 though. I'm not too sure about the Redskins. Seems like they're going to have a few problems offensively this year. Maybe it's just preseason bad luck for them though.

On a note about the Lions, I could see them coming close to .500 this year. They've been preforming well so far this preseason. Although they did lose the last game against the Browns, the defense was just great. Rookie LB Ernie Sims was awesome, he's really been shining this preseason so far. Also, the DE Bill Swancutt has been doing well this preseason in the absence of a few key players in our DL.

Hey man, you gotta put Arizona ahead of Minnesota, Philidelphia, and Baltimore. Arizona has 2 of the most explosive wideouts in the NFL, and new big time back in the edge, and a veteran QB w/ a rook behind him with warner and lienart. I am really feelin Arizona.

Two great Wide Recievers will not win it for a team. The rest of the team has to actually play decently for anything to happen. As far as the Redskins go, Their preseason work is awful but that may just be preseason. Joe Gibbs is the kind of guy who relizes this and having a pre season win is the last thing on his mind.

I LOVE what they said about Falcons! I hate Vick with a passion. How the Cards aren't on the top 20 is beyond me, sure they didn't have a good year last season, but I see them atleast getting a Wild Card. Seahawks and Broncos are both over-rated I think. Actually, ALOT of teams aren't where they should be.[/blabbering]

Bucs
Tampa Bay has a decent assortment of wide receiver threats now, Simms has a great arm. What he needs is the time and protection from the O-Line. Defense will be fierce as long as Kiffin is wearing the Headset.

Steelers
No Bus
Cower's rumored departure will either distract or inspire the team depending on how they start off the first regular season games.

Giants
Tom Coughlin is going to destroy the Locker Room himself for fining a player $ 1,000,000.00 for farting 5 minutes into a team meating. He's his own worst enemy.

I never thought I would ever say I can't wait to see how the Cardinals do this season.

I'm going to give you some time so you can think about what you're saying. Broncos are my AFC prediction for the Superbowl. And the Seahawks are my NFC prediction for the NFC Championship. Both of these teams are big time playoff contenders. You can say they are overrated, but when the season comes, you'll see what I'm talking about.


Cowboys ranked 7th? That sounds just about right, it just depends on whether our offensive line holds and Terry Glenn and T.O. connect this year. Our defense has been solid for the past few years, I see them even better this year. Its always been our offense that has struggled, this year, I see that changing.

You may call me crazy, but I don't think the Patriots will be seeing the playoffs this year.

First of all Broncos WILL NOT win their division, Chiefs will. Seahawks may make playoffs, I doubt it but they might. I've been predicting Cards to win their division, but I don't see Seahawks making the playoffs.

Don't go into hiding and avoid this thread at the end of the season;)

Broncos are the best AFC team right now. They will win their division. Chiefs are horrible, what, they have like Tony and Larry and thats it. Pathetic team.
