Annual "Eat your crow" thread. - Page 3

Tampa bay winning the division makes me eat a big bowl of crow.

Carr sucking as bad as a lot of people predicted gives me a second course. I didn't say he'd be good, I just said he'd be serviceable as a back up. I was wrong.

Peppers making the probowl.

Saying McNabb would be back to full force.

Randy Moss certainly didn't bring his troubled past to New England. At least I'm not the only one who thought he would.

Dam8610 · 02-05-2008, 01:33 AM

Has anyone owned up to their "Giants will have a top 5 pick" talk yet? This is not gloating, I'm just curious because I just remembered it.

Bigbadbob72 · 02-05-2008, 01:51 AM

pretty much everything this year except the fact that Matt Leinart would suck and the saints would be average at best. Everything else was wrong so I had a pretty terrible year.

02-05-2008, 02:11 AM

I thought David Carr would be good this year when given the chance.

Boy was I wrong. He is one of the worst quarterbacks I have ever seen play the game.

Vikes99ej · 02-05-2008, 02:18 AM

I thought both the Bills and Giants would be terrible this year.

zoinks · 02-05-2008, 02:32 AM

I had the Giants, Packers, Bucs, and Browns picking in the top ten.

I had the Colts winning 9-10 games, with the Jags winning the AFC South.

Broncos and Saints.....who knew?

As a side note, I love seeing threads like this. So often we see people stating their own opinions and predictions as fact, and it just cracks me up seeing how wildly inaccurate they usually are.

You don't have to believe everything you think.

Jakey · 02-05-2008, 07:43 AM

I thought Randy Moss wasnt worth a 4th rounder...boy was i wrong! ;)

Addict · 02-05-2008, 07:46 AM

I could not believe the Giants would stand a chance in the bowl.

well...

yummie.

i'll admit it i though they were gonna be terrible. i though jacobs couldnt get even close to filling the void that tiki left. i though they had lost just too much to be that competitive. i was wrong, although i still dont believe eli is that great yet. he played hot in the playoffs but i question that he is now a great qb.

also i thought the browns were still gonna be the browns.

Mind if I eat out of the same bowl of crow as you? I too thought Tampa would be horrible this past year, in the bottom 5 teams in the entire league. It looks like Garcia might buy them the couple of years they need until their youth movement gets their footing under them. I still think they will be terrible next year tho, I'll keep banging my head against that wall until it breaks one day. lol....

And I don't think anyone thought the Bengals would be that bad....I thought they would end up possibly knocking off one of the top two seeds in the AFC. Yikes...

A good portion of this board needs to own up to their prediction of the Ravens winning their division, same goes for the Broncos.

I'll own up to my thinking that the Titans and Browns would not do anything this year, both were in the playoff picture till the end.

Also, I just want to say thank god all the Raider fans that clamored for David Carr and for us to draft C "Jesus" did not get their wish, because we'd be picking #1 if that happend.

Ward · 02-05-2008, 08:14 PM

Honestly I was very high on Tiki Barber and what he meant to the team, and didn't understand how suddenly they would just improve without him.

I was also high-fiving every Cowboy fan when we got the Browns pick, because we were talking about a top 10 pick at worst...

I thought the Packers were weak at every position on the field, and while I still do, they clearly didn't play like it.

I thought the annual late-season meltdown by the Cowboys was over after last year's snap debacle.

I'm sure there's more, but those immediately come to mind.

How about we all make fun of Ewing?

I believe I said the Giants would be in last place in the division and had little shot of making the playoffs...

SenorGato · 02-08-2008, 04:34 PM

JP Losman
Panthers
David Carr
Wimbley (thought he'd enter Ware/Merriman territory)
Ravens

etk · 02-08-2008, 04:50 PM

I said the Giants would go 4-12

but then I manned up and said they would win the NFC before the playoffs started!

Go_Eagles77 · 02-08-2008, 05:30 PM

I obviously thought the eagles were a playoff team. Wrong there.

keylime_5 · 02-08-2008, 06:51 PM

I thought the Giants would be worse than they were last year when they had Tiki and a supposedly better LB unit. Turns out they were the best team in the league.

But everyone better be eating crow about the Browns, especially a couple of those cowboy fans who were trash-talking us all summer about "thanks for the top 5 pick." Turns out is was a 22overall for a 22overall.

Splat · 02-08-2008, 07:25 PM

Homer picks

Bernard Pollard would have a break out year.

Surtain would play at a pro bowl level.

Huard would keep up his play from last season.

Non Homer picks

The G-Men would fall a part late in the season.

Dallas would make it to the SB.

The Cards would make the playoffs.

yourfavestoner · 02-08-2008, 07:31 PM

I was wrong about the Titans. I thought they'd easily be at the bottom of the division and fighting for the top pick in the draft.

I thought JP Losman would direct Steve Fairchild's offense to a top 10 ranking. I was expecting a huge breakout, as the development of Losman (which never happened), coupled with Lee Evans, Marshawn Lynch, and a top LT in Jason Peters would make this unit very, very good.

I was wrong about David Garrard. When Leftwich was cut right before the start of the season, I was worried that we'd miss the playoffs again, Del Rio would get fired, and the whole thing would get blown up. I never forgave Garrard for his collapse down the stretch at the end of the 2006 season, but it was probably the best thing that could have happened to him. He improved tremendously over the offseason and became the most efficient quarterback in the league.

I thought the Broncos were going to be one of the best teams in the AFC. Unfortunately, one of the worst run defenses I have ever seen negated that.

yodapoop · 02-08-2008, 07:44 PM

I was right on everything.

Yeah, I said they would have a Top 5 pick. I thought that with Tiki gone, their 2 LT's leaving and Strahan potentially retiring they were going to have a huge letdown. Shows you what I know. :P

I was definitely one of those who thought Denver would seize on San Diego's stupid hiring of Norv and take the division. Clearly I had no clue how bad their D could be.
