2012 NFL Season Thread

I will be proved right....

about what again, remind me?

Might as well bite the bullet on this one before it gets to be too late. Bears are going to be very good this year.

Cutler to Marshall looks like it hasn't missed a beat. Bears going to be scary now that they have a legitimate offense instead of "No O-line? Fuggetit, Moar 7-step drops!"

[King Nud]

Yeah the 7-step drop is a thing of the past.. Bears will be many people's outside tip for the SB

I still have the Texans as my favorites, too talented and getting all their guys back healthy will make them almost unstoppable.

[Armchair Revolutionary]

Pittsburgh Steelers...what chances do my American experts here give them? For some reason I've always supported them.

[the_mango55]

They should be good. Likely playoff team.

[therussian]

AFC North is hard to predict this year.


But then again, now that I think about it, it seems that almost all of the divisions this year are toss-ups.

[Scipio Afracanis]

Teams to make the playoffs:

Pats
Bills

Ravens
Steelers

Denver
Texans

GB
Bears

Hawks

Cowboys
Giants

San Fran

[therussian]

Patriots

Steelers
Ravens (can't decide which ones the wild card though)

Chiefs
Broncos

Texans

--------------
Packers
Bears

Falcons
Panthers

Eagles

49ers

The only 2 teams that I can see sneaking in are the Cowboys and the Bills (MAYBE)

[King Nud]

The Lions?

Yup. Okay.

[therussian]

Haha oops. Meant Bears, I swear. I was just thinking of the Lions as I was typing

[King Nud]

No worries.. The Lions have had what, 20 players arrested this summer?

[jukeness]

I wouldn't be surprised if the Lions didnt make the playoffs, I dont think they've improved much or any. I dont think the Panthers would be the 4th seed either therussian.

[therussian]

I don't either. I was just going by the divisions. Panthers would get in with the wild card

[jukeness]

I should've known that, my bad.

[Angrychris]

houston is injury plagued

[Scipio Afracanis]

Who is gonna win that division?

Jags?

Titans?

Indy?

Yuck to all, I would like to see the Indy win it but then if I picked them everyone would call me a closet Indy fan.(I say Luck You!)

They're not completely gone. I think we used a few in our preseason games already.

[mrmouth]

The first pass to Marshall simply wouldn't have happened with Martz. It was Cutler seeing Marshall in single coverage, changing the snap count to let him know he was keying on him, and Marshall running right by the coverage.

And Alshon Jefferey is a beast. I almost like watching him more than Marshall. Love the way he uses his body to take the coverage out of the play. That one pass would have been an interception without him bullying the coverage. And he has absolute glue-hands. Throw it anywhere near him.

First time in my life that the Bears might have a plus WR corps. I could cry.

I was SO mad you guys drafted Alshon Jeffery, kid is going to become a superb #2/Second #1 for you guys. He's learning from the guy he's closest to in the NFL talent and skill wise in Brandon Marshall. Big bodied kid with amazing control and who runs good routes. If it wasn't for the poor QB play in USC and his weight problems, he would have been a first round pick.

If he's motivated and sheds the excess weight, the bears might finally have the best WR corps they've had since Willie Gault hung em up. With the packers D not being nearly as good as it was two years ago, and the talent the Bears added to both sides of the ball, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if you snuck the Division out from under the Packers.
