***LAST COMMENT ON THE SUBJECT***
I pity the fool who takes week 1 stats too seriously

It's been one week, remember, the skins beat down on the giants last year in week 1, look how the season turned out for both teams. Talk to me in week 15.

anyway the Chargers seem to be doin all right up in oak.What do you west coast playas think about that?

I think it's adorable.

Eddie I have avoided posting in this thread for that same reason all along, I'm with you bro. I'll get fired up and infracted myself lol
 
Just to change the conversation a bit, here's what I'm thinking for the playoffs for this season:

AFC
AFC East: New England Patriots (z)
AFC North: Baltimore Ravens (*), Pittsburgh Steelers (y), Cincinnati Bengals (y)
AFC South: Houston Texans (z)
AFC West: Denver Broncos (z)

NFC
NFC East: Washington Redskins (z)
NFC North: Green Bay Packers (z), Detroit Lions (y)
NFC South: Atlanta Falcons (z), New Orleans Saints (y)
NFC West: San Francisco 49ers (*)

*= Clinched Division & Homefield Advantage
z= Clinched Division
y= Clinched Wild Card

These predictions are barring any major injuries, especially in the case of Peyton Manning & the Broncos.

IMO, not much has really changed from last year as far as what teams are playoff contenders & which still are not contenders. Three divisions still lack any real competition amongst themselves (AFC East, AFC South, & NFC West) & the leaders in said divisions are pretty much guaranteed (Patriots, Texans, & 49ers, respectively). Four other divisions tend to beat up on themselves (AFC North, AFC West, NFC East, & NFC North), but two of those still have the ability to produce multiple playoff teams (AFC North & NFC North). It's also worth noting that the NFC East is pretty well balanced, so the division champion could really go to any of the four teams although I'm feeling the Redskins have a good chance this time around; I figure that Eagles will get screwed by injuries, the Giants will have a case of the Super Bowl Slump, & the Cowboys will miss the cut right at the end of the season. Lastly, the NFC South is pretty much guaranteed to have the Saints or the Falcons as its division champion considering the other two teams.

And, just to make it more interesting, I thinking that it's going to be the San Francisco 49ers vs. the Baltimore Ravens for the Super Bowl with the 49ers winning it all. I also think that such a game would be very interesting to watch due to how brutal the defenses would be; there's nothing like some good old-fashioned football after all! :D

So, uh, let the debate begin. :grinno:
 
I can't say I disagree with your picks. From a week 1 perspective it looks good on paper, however in the NFL things never seem to pan out they way you think it will or should.

I would have never picked the Giants as Super Bowl champs last year, comming from a life long die hard fan I didn't see that comming.

The 49ers are a very good team with argueably the best D in football so we'll see how they hold up, I like their chances this year. I said last season who ever wins the Giants 49ers game would win the Super Bowl. I think the Pats are headed down hill their time has past. Jets could be a force in the AFC East and if they can keep from impolding have a shot at a playoff berth. As far as Dallas goes, like I said before they put so much effort into gearing the team to beat the Giants, not being the Giants might give Washington the edge it needs......time will tell. I don't follow all the other teams close enough to make an educated guess on where they will end up. One other note I'm not sure about the Saints being the NFC wild card. I'll go out on a limb here and predict the NFC wild card will come from the East this year. We'll have to revisit this on week 8 and see how it's holding up. Decent picks, we'll see.
