    Thanks Anjin!

    I can't edit my posts, nor post quickly, but here we go!

    AFC Playoff Predictions:
    Chargers, Ravens, Patriots, Jets

    Why? Well, the colts would be up there, but they just lost too much at defense. I am not going to know them, they did well last year in scoring more points than their opponents, but I just don't see it happening again this year. Baltimore's defense is too good, Jets are up and coming, Chargers have LT (enough said!?) and well, let's just look at the Pats receiving corps.

    NFC Playoff Predictions:
    Bears, Saints, Eagles, Cowboys

    The Bears will dominate the NFC North once again. Kitna and the Lions can predict as much as they want, but they'll still suck. Saints will rule the South with Reggie Bush, Meacham, and Colston dominating. The NFC East will be a strong division, with the Cowboys and the Eagles both putting up strong showings. It all depends on how well the QB's perform; a health McNabb could very well bring the Eagles back to the Superbowl, but if he goes down, the Cowboys and Romo could very well do the same.

    Agree? Disagree?

    Let me know!

    Jets are up and coming but they also had a really easy schedule last year. I like Mangini though, I'm interested in seeing them.

    I don't think San Diego is going to going to be able to repeat from last year, next to none of the major coaching staff coming back poses a problem.

    Pats are scary because of Bellichick alone, that's not even considering the ridiculous amount of weapons they have now.

    I'm expecting the Saints to go to the Superbowl

    Bears will do worse than they did last year.

    Eagles will be a top contender in the NFC if McNabb stays healthy.

    and I'm expecting the 49ers to turn some heads in the West and possibly upset Seattle for their spot

    San Diego was such a waste of talent. I have a hard time picturing first time coaching staffs it to the Super Bowl. The only time I think that's happened was with Switzer and the Cowboys but that's entirely different.

    Mangini is a good coach by the looks of it, and he's got the Pats playbook. Whether or not that will be enough to beat them out is a tough question.

    San Diego has some new coaches for sure, but the talent on that team is insane. With Shawn Merriman, LT, Rivers, and Gates, it will be tough to beat the Chargers.

    The Saints are alright, but I don't see them playing as strong as they did last year. Admittedly I'm a die-hard Eagles fan, but I really feel that if we had a bit better defense and didn't lose Andrews late in the 4th quarter last year, we would have been playing in the Super Bowl. And this year, we get Kearse back, as well as Spikes and Reagor and Scott.

    Who the fuck knows what's going to happen in the West; that shit is up for grabs. Every team in the division has weapons, and it really comes down to who gets injured and plays as a team.

    Seattle is such a gamble these days.

    I won't deny that it fucked with my head so bad to see the Seahawks in the Superbowl after so many shitty seasons...

    However, if Alexander's foot is OK, and Hasselback is back in business, the Seahawks could rule the West. However, I just don't see them coming out into the postseason completely healthy, or at least healthy enough to get themselves to the Superbowl again... Also, the Cardinals, the Rams, and the 49'ers all have the possibility of posting excellent seasons. I think it will all come down to who remains healthy in the West this year.

    I enjoyed Hassleback winning a coin toss in overtime and saying, "We'd like the ball and we're going to score"

    Then he threw an interception to Al Harris (I think) and they lost.

    I laugheled.

    I like Hasslesack though, seriously.

    Really, Shaun Alexander is a beast and is nothing to be laughed at, especially if he's healthy. However, the Seattle O-line has lost a couple key contributors over the years, and might not be able to create the gaps Alexander is hoping for. Only time will tell...

    Man, I'm an Eagles fan, and believe me when I say that Garcia did a god damn fine job leading our offense this year. However, full time starting position in Tampa? I just don't see it happening.

    No idea my friend. I'm too drunk to look that shit up, by the way. But as far as Tampa goes, I watched the Bears kick the shit out of them in person last year. Galloway was the only receiver who posed a threat, and Chicago's defense was able to eat them up no problem. Relative to the Saints in the NFC South, the Bucs don't stand a chance.

    I hate Adalius Thomas isn't with Baltimore anymore. I watched him a ton in college. I don't really have an AFC team so I didn't mind cheering for Baltimore when he was there, that and I've met McNair before and he was real nice to me so yeah, liked them more.

    But now Thomas is with the Pats.

    While I respect what that team can do, I can't cheer for them.

    Everyone keeps gushing over the Pats, but as far as defense is concerned, I'm far from convinced. Thomas was surrounded by other Pro-Bowlers in Baltimore. Will be be able to perform at the same level in Foxboro? I doubt it.

    Go Chiefs! I like the niners and the saints in the NFC. I'm totally over Dallas and Philly though.

    Even though i'm a Chiefs fan I don't think they will make the playoffs this year. Not with a 2nd year guy or a career back-up at the helm, but they will turn some heads. That and their schedule is BRUTAL! However if anyone from the West makes it far I want it to be the Chargers. I have a serious hate on for the donkeys and oakland just sucks ass. Fuck the Yankees...I mean the Pats. I am over them as well. I hope Tom Brady and Peyton Manning get caught making a gay porn video.

    Vick has millions in the bank, in addition to whatever gambling winnings his dogs have earned him (just saying). He's due in court on the 26th, and the court has not taken his passport or otherwise restricted his movement, as it would be its right to do (given that he's a flight risk).

    If he isn't sitting on a beach in the Bahamas by Wednesday, he's an idiot and deserves to spend a long time in PMITA Prison.

    I was just spouting off teams that I think have the best chance to win a Superbowl from both the NFC and AFC.

    For example, I do not think that anyone in the NFC West is going to be a Superbowl contender this year.
