It’s finally here, the 2011 NFL Prediction Show. Steven and Jeff share their thoughts before the season starts, going over all eight divisions in the NFL. First, the guys discuss the situation with the Jacksonville Jaguars as they release QB David Garrard just days before the start of the season. Steven calls it bush-league as the Jaguars did this to Byron Leftwich back in 2007.
During the predictions, Steven guarantees that the Houston Texans will make the playoffs for the first time in franchise history, otherwise head coach Gary Kubiak should be out of a job. Jeff likes one team in the AFC West a little too much for Steven’s liking. Steven also has the Browns making it to the playoffs and leaves the Colts out of the playoffs for the first time in 7 seasons.
In the NFC, Jeff’s love for the Buccaneers makes Steven wonder about his Bucs prognostication, and gives Jeff some heat for leaving the Philadelphia “Dream Team” out of the mix. Jeff is surprised that Steven has the Jets at top the AFC and the Saints atop the NFC.
Jeff definitely said “10 and 6” for the Redskins, at least 2 or 3 times before he caught himself. As far as me not thinking much of this team, not true. I think the Skins could very well win 10 games (so I guess I’ll need to seek some psych eval) but they could also be horrible. I don’t think Grossman is the issue, I think the Skins season depends upon how well the offensive line holds up, how we are in the defensive backfield (no Landry for at least week one) and if Hightower runs well and doesn’t fumble. If the running game can operate, it’ll open up options for whomever is under center.
I am looking forward to the Ravies-show. I am already up one and the season hasn’t even started yet.
Colts => “Championship”
Question was: What should you expect for next season (or something close)
I would like to know how the browns are going to win 11 games with no receivers? Also, their defense is shaky. And, I do think the bengals will surprise some people this year, and win more than 2 games this year.
Guys, psychiatric help? :P The Redskins will have a winning season this year, mark my words! (Hightower, it’s all on you!)
