NFC East
Cowboys Stay On Top
This may be Tony Romo’s final shot at getting to the big game surrounded with the talent Dallas has on its roster right now and he knows it, so I expect the Cowboys to come out hard and fast by putting some distance between them and the Eagles early on. Dallas may finish the season with two 1,000 yard rushers in Joseph Randle and Darren McFadden.
Chip Kelly can wheel and deal all he likes, but at the end of the day if his defense cannot stop anyone, who cares what the offense does. Plus he better hope quarterback Sam Bradford can stay healthy all year.
The Giants cannot afford to have Eli Manning lead the league in interceptions again, especially with a defense that has yet to find itself. They’ve brought back Stevie Brown, but with Jason Pierre-Paul still not signed, it might be a long season for the G-Men.
This offseason, Washington might have reached a new low by replacing Oakland as the worst run franchise in the NFL. The decision to not only bench, but drop Robert Griffin III to third string may be Jay Gruden’s worst mistake.
Wow. Some daring predictions there. Like most of it though. Just hope the Bills beat the Cowboys if that’s what it comes down to.
Looks like you had some help from a prediction sheet in that?
Any chance of us getting a taste of one this year?
Sleeping on the Dolphins! I agree it’s a big year for Tannehill, but I think he’s above average. The WR group is much better than at any point during his tenure and the defense looks nasty. They’ll be getting a lot of pressure on QBs during the season and that’ll be huge, against the Pats in particular.
Bills? Really?? I’m all with them improving, and they could get to playoffs and even win division, but no way 12-4, and no way to SB50. And that’s with them losing Week 1 challenge game!
NFC as expected – Cowboys fandom, down on Eagles (and therefore by extension Foles ;-p), but the rest is possible.
Hey! Finally getting to read through this. I am astounded! Especially since you seem convinced the Colts will win this Sunday. I have the Bills finishing 12-4 this year, too (and I have NOT predicted that many wins for a LONG time) and I also think—because I love DEFENSE—that this team could be the AFC rep in the SB as much as any other AFC team. (I’m still surprised you agree, though!)
I’m with you on most of the other predictions, too. I think Atlanta’s offense it too good, though, to finish as low as you had them. Dan Quinn has to have some influence on their D. We’ll see. Also, I think the Bengals could possibly end up with one of the worst records in the AFC this year (based on my predicting their schedule game-by-game)
Anyway, good thoughts. Can’t wait for the first Sunday tomorrow!
