How were your preseason predictions from last year?
Its about time for TC + Preseason. As we all make our predictions for the upcoming 07-08 season, i was wondering how peoples predictions for the 06-07 season turned out.
For example, i remember getting caught up in the hype of the dolphins. I definitely thought they were bound for a deep playoff run. I was way off on that one.
However, i thought the cardinals would be bad, and i was right on that. I didn't get caught up in that hype machine.
I also remember some general predictions about how the two worst teams would be the 49ers and bills from this site. Both teams i think were predicted to pick 1+ 2 in the draft here. They just forgot to add a 1 in the beginning of both teams as the niners picked 11 and bills 12. Two teams predicted to be terrible whiched exceeded expectations. (On a side note, i believe these are the top two teams on the rise, in no particular order).
Did your predictions from last year come true or fizzle out?

Don't remember much but i do remeber predicting the Redskins having a sub .500 season correctly when everyone in the media was hyping them making a deep playofff run and identifying them as a superbowl contender.

A friend of mine went through our respective teams schedule during the pre season, and we concluded that the chargers would go 13-3 and the packers would go 9-7..
i suspect both teams won't be as good as their records were last year.. but i wouldnt be surprised if they were

I was a little bit off.......
I believe I said Superbowl Champs would be Carolina, I nailed the AFC Champs though I said Colts would be AFC Champs but I said they would beat Cincinnati in the AFC Championship.

Mine... (I didn't pick records, just standings)
AFC division champs
South - Indy
North - Pittsburgh
East - New England
West - Denver
Wildcard
1. Jacksonville
2. Cincinnati
....Not too bad in the AFC, the NFC is where it gets bad.
Division Champs
East - Washington
North - Minnesota (WOW)
South - Carolina
West - Seattle
Wildcard
1. Tampa Bay
2. New York Giants
Notable screw-ups... Saints/Eagles were picked to finish last in their division. I was all but sure the Titans would be the worst team in the league (I was right until VY showed up).

Lol.
I remember that I didn't buy into the Carolina and Miami hype, but I thought the Raiders would make the playoffs, and I thought the Bills would win the AFC East. I thought the Jaguars would win the AFC South (Colts a wildcard). I did the whole league, but I don't remember much more than the previous.

All I remember is predicting big things for the Panthers. I'm sure I made predictions on this board, I just have no idea where I'd find them.

Let's laugh at the wrong!- The Baltimore Ravens earn a Top 5 pick and Billick gets the boot to his mind-numbingly annoying ass.
- Picked the Washington Redskins to win the NFC East, buying into the hype of Al Saunders (seriously, lol @ me). More over, I picked them to represent the NFC in Miami.
- Didn't have the San Diego Chargers as a playoff team.
- Both the Carolina Panthers and the Atlanta Falcons get into the playoffs.
- The Denver Broncos and Jacksonville Jaguars get back to the playoffs for a consecutive year.
- Actually thought the Arizona Cardinals would win the NFC West.
But wait, there's some good!- Direct quote: "With a cakewalk schedule, a team of returning starters, and every single other rival dealing with new coaches/regimes/players, da Bears will have the number one seed in the NFC."
- Thought the Indianapolis Colts would get to Miami and win SB XLI, albeit against the Redskins (see above). Obviously I picked both the Colts and the England Patriots to win their divisions.
- The Seattle Seahawks break the string of Super Bowl losers and get back to the playoffs.
- Didn't buy the hype of the Miami Dolphins like so many others (nice SB prediction, Sports Illustrated! What idiots, lol). Said they were at least one year away under Saban.
- The Kansas City Chiefs would get back into the playoffs with Herm Edwars aka the RB Killer.
- The Tampa Bay Bucs weren't going to make the playoffs, despite winning the division in 2005.
- The Buffalo Bills were going to improve for the better by a good deal.
If you'll remember, I also put up the sig after SB XL that Peyton Manning and the Colts would win 3 (or was it 2? I'm pretty sure it was 3) Super Bowls in the next 5 years. Obviously, few if any agreed with me at the time and more laughed at the idea. A third of the way there, boys.

Right
Eagles bouncing back and winning the division
Chicago representing the NFC in the Super Bowl
Giants falling apart
LT finally being recognized as the best RB in the NFL
Wrong
Reggie Bush for ROY
Texans grabbing a wild card (don't ask, please)
Colts not making the SB
Falcons going 5-11

I thought Oakland was going to be the one bad team to make a jump and make the playoffs. Unfortunately, that ended up being the Saints, and Oakland blew baby chunks.
