KCJohnny · 07-20-2001, 05:37 PM

Just for fun...

NFC E:
Washington - Marty sentimental fave inheriting a killer D and a supreme smash-mouth attack;

NFC C:
Chicago Bears - this year's big beneficiaries of parity voo doo;

NFC W:
49ers - Garrison Hearst stays healthy and the D steps up;

AFC E:
Buffalo Bills/Miami Dolphins - can't decide; one or more of Colts' trifecta gets injured;

AFC C:
Jacksonville - I HATE these guys, but they always get cheesy schedules;

AFC W:
Kansas City - Griese, Gannon get hurt; Hasslebeck? Nah. Bolts COULD WIN THE DIVISION, but the Chiefs win because of (get ready) Rushing, defense and SPECIAL TEAMS!!!!!!!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaugh!!!!

KCJ,

You projecting the division winners or the last place teams..:D

AFC

West= Kansas City
Central= Baltimore
East = Indianapolis

NFC

West = St Louis
Central= Green Bay (Gawd this division is awful)
East = NY Giants

Joe Seahawk · 07-20-2001, 06:05 PM

AFC

West= Denver
Central= Tennesee
East = Indianapolis

NFC

West = St Louis
Central= Tampa Bay
East = Philly

AFC Champion= Tennesee

NFC Champion= Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay Buccaneers = Super Bowl Champs..

Cannibal · 07-20-2001, 06:08 PM

NFC EAST: Philly

NFC CENTRAL: Tampa

NFC WEST: St. Louis

AFC EAST: Miami

AFC CENTRAL: Baltimore

AFC WEST: Toss up, but probably Chokeland. [Denver bringing in Glock sealed their fate. The cancer will permiate the team and by the final third of the season they will be out of playoff contention. I'm not joking either.]

RedandGold · 07-20-2001, 06:14 PM

What the heck...

NFC East
Philadelphia - McNabb continues to develop into one of the league's elite QBs. This year he finally have the receivers that he desperately needed in 2000.

NFC Central
Tampa Bay - This is Dungy's year. After finally giving in to the need for a legitimate offense, the Bucs take their game to the next level.

NFC West
New Orleans - The Saints improve upon their 2000 performance and become the team to beat in the West. The Rams show their youth on defense as Kurt Warner experiences at least one concussion in 2001. Rams fans will wish that they never traded Trent Green as Joe Germaine flounders in a backup role.

AFC East
NY Jets - Vinny Testaverde comes back with a vengence and the Jets rise to the top of what will be an exciting division to watch in 2001.

AFC Central
Baltimore - The Ravens prove to be even more dominant in 2001. The league's best defense doesn't skip a beat and the Ravens offense gets a slight jump start with a healthy Travis Taylor and the addition of Elvis Grbac.

AFC West
Chiefs - the rest of the NFL will see what KC fans have known all along. Our young talent will shine under the new coaching staff, and our aggressive defense will complement a scorching offense to lead the Chiefs to their first division title since 1997. "Snoop" Minnis will shine in the Saunders offense while Donnie Edwards and Eric Hicks give KC fans flashbacks to the glory days of DT and Neil Smith.

Super Bowl Prediction:

Tampa Bay 24
Baltimore 20

Elvis chokes in the final 2 minutes, throwing an interception that kills their chances for a come-from-behind victory. This proves to be one of the most exciting Super Bowls ever as the league's two best defenses square off. Commentators will flood the airwaves with Ray Lewis vs. Warren Sapp comparisons.

2001 is going to be a good year.

Hey jq, Tui just signed...In case you didn't know that, having in camp on time will be a big plus for him. IMO, he will take over the starting job next year (assuming Gannon retires)

The only good thing about the Hawks switching to the NFC is I'll get to pull for Tui a little bit....:)

**DaKCMan AP** · 07-20-2001, 06:37 PM

NFC East - Philadelphia Eagles

NFC Central - Tampa Bay Bucs

NFC West - New Orleans Saints

--------------------------

AFC East - Indianapolis Colts

AFC Central - Baltimore/Pittsburgh
---Pittsburgh lost a few close ones last year and lost 2-3 games just because of blown calls in the beginning

AFC West - Kansas City Chiefs

hawaiianboy · 07-20-2001, 06:40 PM

Yep.... saw that Joe...

I think Gannon plays next year also to complete his 4 year contract.... It wouldn't surprise me to see Gannon sign for another 2-3 years after that to back Tui up....

I'm looking forward to seeing how Tui does in pads......

KCJohnny · 07-20-2001, 09:13 PM

These picks are WAY too conventional...

...parity, guys, PARITY.

Who picked Tenn, Ravens, StL or NYGs in the past two years???
NONE of you.

And this year will be loaded with surprises as well, and the Chiefs (conventional wisdom: 4th-5th place) will win the AFC West.

John,

Who said anything about parity? (I thought that was the topic you brought up in a different thread)

You asked us for our picks, and that's what you got. JFF remember?

I agree with keg that picking the Chiefs to win the West has more merit than being a "homer" pick.

San Diego - improved, but will still end up in the cellar 6-7 wins at the most

Seattle- starting an unproven QB and their stellar crop of draft picks won't come into their own for another couple of years when the Hawks are in the NFC.

Denver - Griese will go down (count on it) and their additions will do nothing to improve their 2000 standing. McGlockton will probably hurt them more than he will help.

Oakland - The team to beat in the West, but the Chiefs are more evenly matched with them than most would like us to believe. After 3 straight losses under the Gunther regime, look for the Chiefs to rise again on opening day.

KCJohnny · 07-21-2001, 08:09 AM

R&G:
You are right, I was blending the two threads together. This one was JFF.
That beingthe case, I'll submit my SB prediction now:

Cincy 37, Chicago 30 (OT)
;)

milkman · 07-21-2001, 08:35 AM

Keg,
I would definitely interested in your reasoning for picking the Chiefs in the west.

While it's far to early for picks, since it's just for fun, I'll toss mine out.

NFC
East-Eagles
Central-Bucs
West-Rams
Wild Cards-Redskins,Giants, Vikings
Bucs over Eagles in conference final
AFC
East-Bills
Central-Ravens
West-Chiefs
Wild Cards-Dolphins, Titans, Broncos
Ravens over Titans in conference final

Bucs over Ravens in SB.

Clint in Wichita · 07-21-2001, 09:26 AM

AFC:

West - Raiders
East - Colts
Central - Titans (Due to the "Elvis Effect" in Baltmore)

NFC:

West - Rams
East - Eagles
Central - Bucs

Not very brave pics, but pretty good bets IMO.
