TartanTeddy Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 So the NFL kicks off next week! Thoughts for the season, beyond knowing that the Jets and Dolphins are going to suck As a Bears fan, it's looking good for the new season. The defence has been revamped, Cutler has the pocket protection he needs and there are a couple of new options for him on offence. Pre season went well first two games with the majority of first teamers getting a decent amount of time on the field. Last two games have been more second string but still a few positives from the Browns game last night. I'm predicting a playoff berth as a minimum for the Bears this season.

Geed Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Cant wait, being a Packers fan we kick of our new season at Seattle on Thursday night, going be a real test for us. Whats predictions for 8 league winners? AFC West - Denver Broncos AFC South - Indianapolis Colts AFC East - New England Patriots (But got sneaky feeling Jets could do it this year) AFC North - Cincinatti Bengals NFC West - Seattle Seahawks NFC South - New Orlean Saints NFC East - Philadelphia Eagles NFC North - Green Bay Packers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Giant Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 AFC East - New England Patriots (But got sneaky feeling Jets could do it this year) I suppose the Jets have to win it sometime, its been 12 years. But I reckon that they will need 11 wins to topple the Patriots this season, and I'm not sure that their offense can provide that. They look like an 8-8 team to me. I think the Steelers will win the AFC North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Steelers will win the AFC North. If they can get there QB position sorted they could do well, the signing of Eric Decker is a class one, and with defense probably even better and RB's pretty good, think they have a good season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Bongo Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Glad to see the optimism for the Jets - unfortunately i dont see it If New England can keep Gronkowski fit for most of the 16 weeks then they should go far I'll start believing in Geno when he delivers regularly ...and the jury is still out There have been a lot of changes - i think the Packers could be a good bet in Seattle. They had loads of injuries last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Bongo Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Famous last words but The Packers at home to the Jets giving Geno 7.5 pts of a start at 10/11 looks a standout bet Obviously i hope i'm wrong but you should never bet with the heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Bongo Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Haha. Ally Bear trying the famous reverse jinx! lol - seriously i have them on a line with Man Utd minus 2 goals I have a line on for the earlier games - all are stoating including the Pats and the only one beating me is the Giants ! I only took them because i keep getting the Chiefs and the Cardinals mixed up. The Chiefs are rotten so i took the Giants then i realises it's the Cardinals they are playing ...if that makes sense.

Geed Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Terrible result for Seahawks last night, cannot believe they lost at home to the cowgirls, Romo must be due a meltdown sooner or later, hasnt had one all season, cant see cowgirls form continuing for to much longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geed Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 The Jets very unlucky last night not have beatn the patriots, if they keep playing like that defo win alot more games. Predicitons for this week Falcons at Ravens - Ravens Win Titans at Redskins - Redskins win Seahawks at Rams - Seahawks win Browns at Jaguars - Browns win Bengals at Colts - Colts Win Vikings at Bills - Bills Win Dolphins at Bears - Bears Win Saints at Lions - Lions Win Panthers at Packers - Packers win Chiefs at Chargers - Chargers win Cardinals at Raiders - Cardinals win Giants at Cowboys - Cowboys win 49ers at Broncos - Broncos win Texans at Steelers - Steelers win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bongo Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 The Jets very unlucky last night not have beatn the patriots, if they keep playing like that defo win alot more games. Ive been saying that for the last 30 years Geed We have too many average players in crucial positions and not having a recognised number 1 Corner Back never mind 2 is killing us. Any QB worth his salt will beat us deep every week. When you are missing quality mistakes happen and last night was evidence of that. Its happened every week since the start of the season and Geno's lack of consistancy is always going to haunt us He is inconsistent as he is still a million miles away from being a top QB One thing i will say is that i doubt any other coach will hurt and care as much as Rex does so i hope we dont get rid of him. If we can get a few top players after this season through the draft & free agency we could be a really good team under him. As you seen last night we are close but still a bit away from that A gutting loss - a typical Jets loss I already gave up on this season last week so the performance last night was a bit of a surprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Giant Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 if they could only get a top QB The holy grail for every crap team! Easier said than done. I'm off to Wembley next week, I am optimistic it will be a decent game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have stayed off this thread. Have taken to the NFL like a crack addict this season. I understand the rules now and really enjoy the strategy. I tape the Monday (Eurosport) and Thursday (Sky) night games. Then watch one of the Sunday games (generally the late one, once the kids are in bed).

Parklife Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Cowboys are playing outstandingly well right now. 6-1 for the first time in years. And with 3 of the next 4 games looking like very favourable match-ups ('Skins, Jags & Giants), the Cowboys should be in a great position before December even starts. After that, it's 2 games in 3 weeks vs Philly. If either teams manages to win both they're likely to take the division. We''ll be in December by the time the 2nd Philly game comes around, and we all know what happens to Romo in December..... Maybe it'll be different this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolhibby Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Just finished watching the taped Texans @ Steelers game. Good game. Steelers rocking the Texans in the 2nd quarter scoring 3 TDs in about 3 minutes. Very enjoyable. Texans had a defensive linebacker who was a beast.
