I think the Bears played over their head last year. They'll come back to Earth this season and be even more of a disgrace. That's basically your argument against the Packers.

As for Favre, I'm just saying that either you admit he's a great quarterback and was helping the team a lot and he's a big loss or he was not very good (like you said) and he won't be missed very much. Pretty simple, he can't be both terrible and a big loss.

The Bears played over their heads? Seriously? They still have a top flight defense, but they had a LOT of injuries. They played well below their potential. They could very well bounce back and be a major contender in the division this year.

Well he could be both, according to my statements.

Favre is a bad playoff quarterback.

The Packers will miss Favre.

Those aren't contrary statements. Favre proved himself to be a good regular season quarterback last year, and has consistantly been a better player in the regular season than the playoffs. So Favre would likely get them back to the playoffs and then throw 3 interceptions again whereas they wouldn't make the playoffs at all with Rodgers, or make the playoffs and win it all.

But for the record, no I don't think the Packers will miss Favre. I never said that was a reason I thought they'd take a dip next year. I think it would be best for the Packers if Favre had a heart attack and died quite honestly. He's nothing but a terrible distraction now.

Oakland 8-8.

Rob S · 07-10-2008, 03:27 PM

hmmmm....torn but I will err on the conservatism and put the bills at 8-8. I want to say 10-6 or 9-7, but u always tend to overate ur own team.

Hines · 07-10-2008, 03:38 PM

Steelers 20-0. They will rule the Pro Bowl and win...But in all seriousness, I say between 11-5 at least and 13-3 at best.

Bills2083 · 07-10-2008, 03:42 PM

I think the Bills will go 8-8, but I'm really hoping for a playoff birth :D

leroyisgod · 07-10-2008, 03:42 PM

Please explain how the Steelers are going to be 13-3 with that crappy o line.

LonghornsLegend · 07-10-2008, 03:47 PM

I like the Cowboys to go 12-4, I would actually prefer us having to win on the road this time around in the playoffs.

BaLLiN · 07-10-2008, 03:47 PM

Giants 10-6, i thought 9-7 but our schedule doesnt look that hard.

And please dont call me a homer :)

Skill positions. Defense. Their oline isnt as bad as you guys make it out to be. It is the weak link, but it is clearly not crappy.

I dunno...the Steelers have the most insane schedule ever this season. They've got the Jaguars, Giants, Colts, Chargers, Patriots and Cowboys, and that’s before the Steelers even play a division game!

fenikz · 07-10-2008, 05:34 PM

Cardinals - 10-6

I'm an optimist

BrownsTown · 07-10-2008, 05:35 PM

Browns 10-6

The Dynasty · 07-10-2008, 05:37 PM

Vikings: 10-6 looks possible

The Jags game I think we actually turn one against them this time and beat them hopefully. Colts, Patriots, and Cowboys will and could be our three loses. Chargers and Giants scare me, but not enough to make me believe they will beat us. Could go either way.

The Bears have a good chance of bouncing back, just look at their schedule.

See I think the Colts and the Patriots are our only REAL problem but I still think we can beat both of them. Jags hells yes, it is going to be a game, just like it always is. Dallas, sure they are good and high powered offense but I think we can beat them. Chargers and Giants are the Chargers and Giants. We can get them.
