Official 2012 NFL Season thread

Here we will talk about the NFL season...

And the team with the toughest schedule is the Broncos. I just want to make sure people see this. Also what do you think of this video?

Vikings win it all!juden41

Kinda (very) early.Silverbond

Obviously I want the Chiefs to go all the way since I'm a Chiefs fan. Now that that's out of the way I'm betting on SanFran to make another strong run, with their biggest threat being the Packers in the NFC. I'm calling the 49ers to go to the superbowl. In the AFC I'm still somewhat undecided. I wouldn't be suprised to see the Chiefs make it to the playoffs but to make it through we need a better QB. Just for the sake of evening things up I'll call the Ravens in the AFC.

If the Vikings win 7 games, I will die of shock. OH WELL they will not be moving.:P

Well, because this thread needs to get on track, and I have nothing better to do, let's start with the playoff predictions. Here are mine.

Division Champions:

AFC:
AFC East- New England Patriots
AFC North- Baltimore Ravens
AFC South- Houston Texans
AFC West- Kansas City Chiefs
AFC Wild Cards- Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh Steelers

NFC:
NFC East- Philadelphia Eagles
NFC North-Green Bay Packers
NFC South- New Orleans Saints
NFC South- San Francisco 49rs
NFC Wild Cards- Chicago Bears, New York Giants

Championship games:
AFC: New England Patriots vs. Houston Texans
NFC: Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears

Super Bowl:
New England Patriots vs. Green Bay Packers

Perhaps a little vanilla on my part, and will almost be certainly wrong in many aspects, including the ones that for the moment seem safe, for the moment anyway. It also made me realize how much the power has swung from the AFC to the NFC, who in my projections will have good times like the Lions, Falcons, Panthers, and Cowboys miss the playoffs.

Super Bowl:

No big shockers I know, especially with the Super Bowl pick, which despite being slightly homerish, feels like it's been trending for the past 4 years or so.

I suppose I'll do mine too.

AFC:
East - Patriots

North - Ravens

South - Texans

West - Broncos

Wild Cards - Bills, Chargers

NFC:

East - Eagles

North - Packers

South - Falcons

West - 49ers

Wild Cards - Bears, Saints

AFC Championship - Patriots vs. Chargers

NFC Championship - Packers vs. Falcons

Super Bowl - Patriots vs. Packers

I have proof that they were able to beat the Texans.

[QUOTE="sherman-tank1"]

[QUOTE="GameboyTroy"] The AFC East will have a 3 way battle between the Patriots, Bills and Jets. For the AFC the Titans can win the division their O-line looks scary right now. Their WRs are set for the next few years, their 2 TEs are good and Cook wants to take his game to another level, their OTs are great and they have 2 QBs that can play. Move over Texans. The Titans can beat them, they did it last season.GameboyTroy

I'm predicting my Colts will be 1-15 no I'll give them 2-14. I don't even want to see what is going to happen haha. xXDrPainXx

Hard to find 5 wins, even teams like the Vikings, Browns and Jacksonville could be tough for them. I don't see it.

[QUOTE="GameboyTroy"][QUOTE="sherman-tank1"]They have a chance against the Vikings, Browns, Jaguars (twice), Jets, Chiefs, Phins, Bills, and I see them winning against the Texans in Week 17 because if the Texans play to their potential it will be a meaningless game for them.

Seahawks have a chance this season, 9-7 or 10-6 definitely not out of the question. If Flynn ends up being what he has the potential to be, with a top ten defense, a nice winning season and maybe eeking out a playoff spot could be in order.monkeytoes61

[QUOTE="sherman-tank1"]I want you guys getting to the playoffs but I don't see it. All the other divisions in the NFC are STACKED.

[QUOTE="sherman-tank1"]

[QUOTE="The-Apostle"] I can see the Seahawks getting to the playoffs. I still say the Packers should've got something for Flynn that would've counted for this season...

The-Apostle

[QUOTE="The-Apostle"][QUOTE="sherman-tank1"]I don't. You got the Saints, Panthers, Falcons, Cowboys, Eagles, Giants, Packers, Bears, Lions, and 49ers all with a legit shot at making the playoffs. Flynn has to be really good if the Seahawks want to squeeze in.

[QUOTE="GameboyTroy"][QUOTE="Boston_Boyy"]Honestly you'd be better off hoping for the 49ers to fall back to earth and hope for the division crown. Would seem easier than betting on having a better season than the Lions, Cowboys, Falcons, Panthers, and Bears.

AFC North: Steelers- It's close between the ravens/steelers, but ...I'll take Big Ben over Joe Flacco as my tiebreaker.
AFC South: Texans- Colts are rebuilding, jags suck, and the Titans are going to get rocked early and often. Oh and they have a top 5 defense and run game.
AFC East: Patriots- Tom Brady still a NFL QB? They win the division unless he gets hurt or something.
AFC West: Broncos- I'm homering for Peyton Manning. My head says it's the Chargers, but my heart wants to go with Peyton.

Wild Cards: Chargers and Ravens

NFC North: Packers- Best QB in football, plenty of talent on defense to improve from the sh1tty play in 2011. People forget that same defense was legit in 2010
NFC South: Panthers- Saints could be shaky this year, and I'm sick and tired of seeing Matt Ryan in the playoffs. Lets go Cam.
NFC East: Cowboys- Wouldn't be shocked if the Eagles beat them out, but I think the cowboys should pull it off. Giants lose out because of the schedule
NFC West: 49ers- Best defense in football. F*cking love watching that defense play.

Wild Cards: Saints and Giants

You wanna make a bet on this? The Packers have bigger competition this season, as Da Bears and Lions improved.

One more thing about the Giants. They were 1 of the 2 only teams to beat the Packers last year but in the playoffs.
