I did this on FPM. I'm copy and pasting it here. I know I have too many teams with good records, but w/e.I just did this, it took me a lot of time. Make you own predictions and talk about mine. I thought it was about time to do this. Almost NFL time.NFC EastEagles 13-3(Definetly #1)Cowboys 9-7(Made some good changes, Could be a Super Bowl contender, or could miss the playoffs)Giants 7-9(A little better than last year)Redskins 7-9(A little better)NFC NorthVikings 11-5(Lost Moss, but had a good off-season)Packers 9-7(Aging, not much defense, still good)Lions 8-8 (Good young recievers, not sure what to expect from the team)Bears 7-9 (Sorry menace Very Happy )NFC SouthPanthers 11-5(Injury free, finally)Falcons 10-6(Amazing defense, but not much offense)Buccaneers 7-9(Should improve, good overall team)Saints 7-9(Just not very good)NFC WestSeahawks 9-7(Were #1 last year and have improved some)Cardinals 8-8(Had bad luck against the 49ers last year and have greatly improved their team)Rams 8-8(Not many changes, not sure why people think they will win)49ers 3-13(Will find a way to win some)AFC EastJets 11-5(The best team there, good overall team)Patriots 10-6(Lost important players and don't have the coordinators to fix it up for them)Buffalo 8-8(Good team, but the division is too tough)Miami 4-12(They still suck, but Ricky's back...yay?)AFC NorthRavens 12-4(Maybe the best defense in the league, and Boller won't do bad with that good offense around him)Steelers 12-4(Lost Burress, Roethlisberger won't be as amazing as last year)Bengals 8-8(Maybe a little better, the division is too strong for them to do much)Browns 4-12(They are just bad...)AFC SouthColts 12-4(Best team here, great offense, but average defense)Texans 9-7(Improved)Jaguars 7-9(What happened to Taylor?)Titans 7-9(They aren't that great, but if McNair stays healthy they will be a bit better)AFC WestSan Diego 10-6(Not going to be as great as last year but still very good)Broncos 10-6(Good team, but Plummer is so inconsistent)Chiefs 10-6(Holmes is back, and their defense is much improved)Raiders 6-10(Got Moss but won't do anything in that division)NFC PlayoffsEagles(Bye)Vikings(Bye)PanthersSeahawksWild Card:FalconsCowboys(Cardinals will just miss it.

So Lets see who the Patriots lost<u>Lost</u>Ty Law<u>Got</u>Chad ScottDuane StarksEllis HobbsTyrone Poole (back from IR)----------------------------------------<u>Lost</u>David Patten<u>Got</u>David TerrellDeion Branch (back from IR)P.K Sam (back from IR)Tim Dwight-----------------------------------------<u>Lost</u>Joe Andruzzi<u>Got</u>Logan MankinsNick Nazcur------------------------------------------<u>Lost</u>Tedy Bruschi<u>Got</u>Chad BrownMonty BieselDan Klecko (back from IR)Mike Vrabel------------------------------------------<u>Lost</u>Romeo Crennell/Charlie Weis<u>Got</u>Eric Mangini/N/ASo as you can see there biggest losses was at Offensive Coordinator and LB. Mankins looks amazing in traning camp and could be one of the best lineup man on the team next year! People say "Oh the Pats got worse this off-season" how? I already told you the loses (above) but they got better in the WR position, with the people listed and got better at TE with Watson coming back! Oh yeah and they still have Tom Brady "Quite Frankly that's all you need"And for the Patriots losing to the Jets in round 1 of the playoffs..haha that's funny. Brady's record in playoffs 12-0..3-0 in superbowls..same record as belechik in the playoffs even though Bill is 3-1 in the superbowl..thanks Cleveland I don't want to start at war with Jets fans like Venom but I'm saying when people say they got worse, I don't see it. Note: Venom, the Jets look good but when beat the Pats I will have respect.
You lost in CB, and Defensive Coordinator also. I just think the Jets ar ebetter, especially if they add Law to the team.I think your coordinators were a big part of your success.And it doesen't matter what Brady's record is in the playoffs. You aren't going to win every Super Bowl with Brady. It will end sometime.
Okay did you read my post..CB'S lost Ty Lawokay, what game did he get hurt..against the Steelers in week 7. He never played again, we won a superbowl without him! That's not a big lose, the guy really can't run. Like I said we got Ellis Hobbs, Chad Scott, Duane Starks and a healthy Tyrone Poole. Yeah we lost Romeo Crennel but we promoted Eric Mangini who was in the system for ever and knows what's going on. Look what he did with the CB's last year, TROY BROWN to CB com'on on now, I bet you no other WR could play CB in the NFL. And you said it doesn't matter what Brady's record is in the playoffs, look at Peyton's in it and Brady's and tell me the better QB in the playoffs..Brady. And in the NFL it's only about the rings, not 50 t/d passes in one year.
Jets beat PatriotsOkay? So Lets see who the Patriots lost<u>Lost</u>Ty Law<u>Got</u>Chad ScottDuane StarksEllis HobbsTyrone Poole (back from IR)From what you said I'd rather get those 4.----------------------------------------<u>Lost</u>David Patten<u>Got</u>David TerrellDeion Branch (back from IR)P.K Sam (back from IR)Tim DwightHere it's pretty much no difference I think.-----------------------------------------<u>Lost</u>Joe Andruzzi<u>Got</u>Logan MankinsNick NazcurI would rather have Andruzzi here.------------------------------------------<u>Lost</u>Tedy Bruschi<u>Got</u>Chad BrownMonty BieselDan Klecko (back from IR)Mike VrabelYou had Vrabel... and I would rather have Bruschi the #2 LB in the NFL.------------------------------------------<u>Lost</u>Romeo Crennell/Charlie Weis<u>Got</u>Eric Mangini/N/ABoth of those guys would be better than Mangini. You don't know the Mangini would do better. He's not the one that got the head coaching job.It's just my opinion but I really think this off-season hurt you guys.
I know it's your opinion but you have to give an edge to the WR's position. They lost Patten and got 2 WR's and 2 back from injury, that will only help Brady and the Pats.
Panthers beating Eagles in NFC Championship? I'm not even sure Carolina will show up in the Championship after losing one of their best receivers (Muhammad) and seeing how they played last season.
Last season they had so many injuries. The year before the last they were in the Super Bowl. They lost Muhhamed but got Steve Smith back, and their starting and back-up RB's. I really like the Eagles, one of my favorite teams, but I think the Panthers are better.
I don't even think Stephen Davis is participating in traning camp, I don't think the Panthers will make it either, Delhome isn't that great either.
They are my sleeper pick. They had a great team until they got those injuries. They will be a surprise. I think Delhomme is decent. Mediocre numbers, but usually gets the job done. LIKE BRADY! lol

And they got Deshaun Foster too. So, one of their best WR's from the Super Bowl year, and their best RB. Stephen Davis should be back too, but they have a lot of good RB's.

He's getting older now and if Carolina even has a chance being better than Philadelphia, Foster will be the man to lead the rushing game.As for Delhomme, yes he is very productive but he had like 11 more passing yards than Donovan McNabb but McNabb had more TD passes and is easily a better rusher. May sound biased, but I still think Eagles are the better team and will go farther in the playoffs.

My cousin is friends with McNabb btw, that's how I became a half Eagles fan. lol
I think the Pats are going to be fine. I think Starks is good enough to replace Law. Poole is pretty solid. Scott is gonna be a guy you'll get mad at, cause he gets beat left and right.I also think Chad brown will be a solid replacement for Tedy.But, David Terrell is not as good as Patten. And, the Andruzzi thing is bad for the Pats. Also the coordinator situation is iffy.But they still have Tom Brady, quite frankly...thats all you need
Okay I dont have time to write it all up now but I'll do it tomorow but one coment. ASF why do you think Pit will be that bad? I except them to be undefeated probly. And why will Big Ben get worse? Exprince useally does nothing but improve a player not hurt it so I dont see why Ben will be a diffrent story.
I dont agree with you having Tennesse with that bad of a record.I know its my team but im being realistic.Mcnair is healthy and you know what he can do.He has Bennett to throw to as a #1 option and he can go to the young Tyrone Calico as his second option.They also got 2 of the best young backs in the league (henry and brown)
