With the NFL season fast approaching....

Question

What are your expectations for your team this season? Also what would you grade your teams off season moves thus far?

Answer 1

Packers fan.  Rogers will play well, along with the running game, and defense.  The tough games I see are Jax, NO, Ind, Dal, and maybe Minn.

predicition: Win the NFC North at 10-6 on a tiebreaker.

Answer 2

Dallas Cowboys Vs San Diego Superbowl

Answer 3

patriots win it all, 2 years ago lost in final minutes of afc champion ship last year lost in the final minute of the SB this year win it all

Answer 4

Chicago Bears are gonna win it all

SuperBowl Score Vs. Patriots

46-10

Answer 5

Chiefs Fan:  I expect a 5-11 season.  As far as the offseason goes, I give our free agency signings a D and our draft a B+.  

Answer 6

Our first round draft pick is hurt already. Go Chiefs!!! Looks like it's gonna be another "rebuilding" year!

Answer 7

I'm a Raiders fan, and with Denver and Kansas City slipping a little, I think we have a shot at atleast going 8-8 maybe 9-7.

Answer 8

As a Bengals fan, I'm a little apprehensive about the season, with a brutal schedule and Chad Johnson soiling his diaper every other day.

And please don't ask about our offseason. We've released more criminals than a drunken parole officer.

Answer 9

Being that the Steelers have the toughest schedule this year I am hoping that they can top the AFC North if not than I will settle for a wild card bid

Answer 10

Go MN Vikings.

I think they have been one of the most active team during the off season by getting Allen, Berrian, Williams, and Tapeh. I expect them to be better than last year. We are playoff conteders but I don't think we'll make it to the Superbowl. We still need a little help at QB. I'd give us an A- during the off season because we needed a QB and we drafted Booty for QB, but that's not an upgrade.

Answer 11

saints really picked up some nice players on defense with vilma mcray and ellis also cornerback got stronger and deeper shockey should add another dimension to the offense mcallister will play but will not get 1000 yards reggie and pierre thomas will split most of the carries and will be a top 15 rushing team marques colston and rovert meachem start and drew brees continues to produce add that the play in one of the weakest divisions in football id say they have the potential to go 11-5 and win the nfc south

Answer 12

Well, as a packers fan, I think my team will do pretty good, even with all the Favre sh*t going on. If Rodgers is QB, which i hope he is, I think he will at least get us 7 wins this season. And that would be pretty good for a rookie QB. But we might not make it to playoffs this year.

Answer 13

Being a Vikings fan, I expect them to get a wild card spot and lose in the divisional round. They're off season has been exceptional and I'd give them a regular A for that, picking up Jared Allen instead of probably useless rookies, picking the right players for the right situations, and that is assuming that Favre doesn't end up in purple. Which would be a mistake. Tarvaris Jackson isn't going to kill us every game like he did last year, and I think we have a good shot at the division, should Brett stay in retirement. If not, then that's going to be the team to beat. Here's a position by position.

QB - T-Jack is going to hold his own. No Manning or Brady, and he won't single-handedly win a game, but if he can at least establish somewhat of a passing game, AP will be wide open. And Brett won't be a Viking. Brad Childress would never do that.

RB - Adrian Peterson. Chester Taylor. Enough said. If T-Jack gets a passing game going, these two will explode like an Iranian missile.

WR - With Berrian, Wade and Rice, the receiving corps will fit in perfectly with Tarvaris. As long as they don't drop too many, they'll hold it down.

TE - Visanthe Siancoe is overpaid and underestimated. He sucked last year, but granted, he's catching more in training camp. He still is taking up WAY too much cap room, but he'll be a factor this year.

OL - Decent, not great, McKinnie's having trouble and Artis Hicks won't really do what he did. McKinnie is an idiot though, and Hicks knows a little more about the game.

DL - Jared Allen. Pat Williams. Kevin Williams. I'd quiver if I was under center too. The dark horse in this case is Ray Edwards/Brian Robison. Whoever gets that job will be wide open, since all of the attention will be on the other three.

LB - The one weak spot here. Against the run, they're like Rosie O'Donnell in front of a Boston Market, but they lack cover skills. If Greenway, Leber and Henderson can get some quickness, Tight Ends won't eat us alive.

CB - Cedric Griffin is going to progress wonderfully, and thank God Antoine Winfield is still here, he's a good, reliable corner. Nothing spectacular, but we'll be all right here, especially with the D-Line going crazy up front.

SS - Darren Sharper is old, but capable. If he stays healthy (which hasn't been a crazy problem so far), he'll still cut the field in half.

FS - Madieu Williams is a newcomer from the Bengals, I'm not sure what to think. He has high expectations because he stood out in Cincinnati, but it's the Bengals. The only pass defense in the league that was worse was... well... ours. But he should be able to hold his own and not be the guy to pick on.

P - Chris Kluwe was best in the league last year, and he'll be up there again.

K - Ryan Longwell is getting old, but I believe his range (53 yards) is adequete.

ST - With a battle between Aundre Allison, Adrian Peterson and Bernard Berrian returning kicks, Special Teams will be fine with any of the three. On the other side, opposing teams average starting position on drives was about the 25 (may want to check that stat)

With the only weak spots being adequate at the worst, I think the Vikings can be good this year. Pressure's on Tarvaris Jackson, and if he can at least be decent and not kill the team, we have a good shot at a divisional title and maybe even better in a weak NFC.
