2009 NFL Predictions

Postby Enigma869 » Sun Sep 13, 2009 10:58 pm

Okay...It's time to start talking about a real sport...the NFL! We have some great football fans on this board, so it's time to get your predictions in for the upcoming season. Here is how I see the divisions shaking out:

AFC East:

Patriots - 12-4
Jets - 9-7
Miami - 8-8
Buffalo - 6-10

Time for Miami to stop running their mouth about being "Division Champions" (As if that even matters). The Patriots win this division, EASILY, in my opinion. Miami takes a HUGE step back, in my opinion. The Jets have a VERY good defense, and SUPERB offensive line, but a rookie QB, so I'm not entirely sold on them, but I think they're good enough to surprise a few people. Buffalo has a horrible offensive line, so I wouldn't be stunned to see them win even fewer than 6 games!

AFC North:

Pittsburgh Steelers - 13-3
Baltimore Ravens - 11-5
Cincinatti Bengals - 8-8
Cleveland Browns- 7-9

Pittsburgh has a cupcake schedule and if not for Baltimore, would have this division clinched by Thanksgiving! If Pittsburgh doesn't get their running game together, Baltimore could sneak up on them, but I don't see it happening, because their defense is simply too damn good! I see the Bengals being improved this season, assuming Carson Palmer is finally healthy and Chad Jackass keeps his mouth shut and plays some football! Baltimore stays 11-5 even though Flacco has a year under his belt and their defense should be stout once again. The Browns will continue to be "The Brownies". I'm not sold on Brady Quinn and Braylon Edwards has turned into a guy who simply can't catch a football, which is a VERY bad thing if you make your living as a wide receiver in the NFL!

AFC South:

Indianapolis Colts - 11-5
Tennessee Titans - 9-7
Houston Texans - 9-7
Jacksonville Jaguars - 7-9

Peyton Manning still has some bullets in the gun. I wasn't sold on the Titans last year, and as I predicted, they folded the second they got into the playoffs. Their defense is good enough to compete and I love Chris Johnson. That said, Kerry Collins is 900 years old and their receiving core is AWFUL! I wouldn't be shocked to see the upstart Texans finish ahead of the Titans if Matt Schaub stays healthy (which isn't likely, given his history). Andre Johnson is a STUD receiver and Slaton is a formidable running back. Jacksonville spent their off-season signing the over the hill Torry Holt, and I believe they'll finish in last place and Jack Del-Rio will be on the unemployment line!

AFC West:

San Diego Chargers- 13-3
Oakland Raiders - 8-8
Kansas City Chiefs - 7-9
Denver Broncos - 5-11

The worst division in football! Even though I think the Chargers have a good team, I think they'll look better than they actually are, just given the fact that they get to play the Raiders, Chiefs, and Broncos twice! They EASILY win this division. The Raiders may surprise some people. Their defense is going to be much improved with the recent acquisition of Richard Seymour. I also like Darren McFadden to have a big season. In spite of small steps, they won't be a factor in the division, but will see a big improvement over their 2008 record. KC will see their record improve as well, but Matt Cassel won't be the savior they think he will be. Cassel will throw for about 15 TD's and it won't be enough. The Denver Broncos have the potential to be the worst team in their division, which is really saying something, given they're in a division with the Raiders and Chiefs! Marshall doesn't know if he wants to play or not. Kyle Orton sucks, and Josh McDaniel doesn't know what the hell he's doing. They are in for a long season!

NFC East:

Philadelphia Eagles - 12-4
NY Giants - 11-5
Dallas Cowboys - 10-6
Washington Redskins - 8-8

One of the toughest divisions in football. Will be a dogfight, as always! The Eagles had a great off-season, and I believe are poised to make a final Super Bowl run. In a tough division, I see them as the class of the division, with Giants a close second. Tony Romo will continue to be just okay, and Dallas will miss the playoffs, yet again!

NFC North:

Minnesota Vikings - 12-4
Green Bay Packers - 11-5
Chicago Bears - 10-6
Detroit Lions - 3-13

Even though I think Favre is a complete fucking fraud, Minnesota was a good team without him. They have a very good defense and Adrian Peterson is the best running back in football. Hopefully Favre will be smart enough to simply turn around and hand the ball off. I like Aaron Rodgers a lot and love the receivers he has around him. Because of that, Green Bay will be heard from in a very tough division and greatly improve over their 6-10 record from a year ago. The Bears get a lot better offensively with Cutler but still have a VERY weak receiving core. Their defense will be better this season, and because of that, they'll be in the mix. Detroit will improve 300% over last season. Unfortunately for Detroit fans, that means they'll still be the worst team in the NFL! Calvin Johnson is a STUD receiver, but it won't matter much with a rookie QB throwing the ball!

NFC South:

Atlanta Falcons - 11-5
New Orleans Saints - 11-5
Carolina Panthers - 8-8
Tampa Bay Buccaneers - 7-9

Drew Brees will do what he does every season....throw for over 4500 and 30 TD's. Because their defense isn't good enough, the Saints aren't good enough to win their division. Atlanta will remain 11-5 but that should be good enough to win the division. Matt Ryan and Roddy White have a year of working together, and I believe they will have a big season. Carolina takes a step back with the oft-injured Steve Smith and the inconsistent Jake Delhomme.

NFC West:

Seattle Seahawks - 10-6
San Francisco 49'ers - 9-7
Arizona Cardinals - 8-8
St. Louis Rams - 4-12

I see Seattle improving this season...enough to win the division. The Cardinals will take a step back and in my opinion, won't make the playoffs. Kurt Warner is another year older, and I'm just not sold on them, AT ALL! The 49'ers should be a much improved team with Mike Singletary being able to go through an entire training camp. The Rams will continue to suck and be competing with Detroit for the number one pick in the draft.

MVP - Tom Brady

AFC Championship Game - New England versus Pittsburgh
NFC Championship Game - Minnesota versus Philadelphia

Super Bowl - New England versus Philadelphia

Super Bowl Champion - New England

Favre's nothing but a lying sack of crap! Has done nothing but lied for the past 2 years. I'll be rooting against him every game.

20 of which will involve him spearing the interceptor, stripping the ball from them and running it in for a touchdown.

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner. That's THE PROBLEM with Favre. For all the "legend" talk...the reality is that Favre is 3-6 in the playoffs in the past ELEVEN seasons! He has finished in the top 5 for most interceptions thrown in a season an astonishing TEN times in his career! People like Favre because he comes across as a "good ole' boy" and a tough player (which I think he is a tough player). That said, he is FAR more likely to make a mistake to cost his team the game than he is to throw the winning pass, and his career statistics bear that out! He gets a whole lot of attention for a guy who really hasn't done anything in 10 seasons!

And when all is said and done, Jim Plunkett will finish with more Super Bowl rings than the legend.

That's the interesting thing about Favre...He has won ONE single Super Bowl! He's in the company of guys like Mark Rypien, Doug Williams, and Trent Dilfer! The NFL is more about winning, than ANY other sports league. There is a HUGE emphasis put on QB's who win championships. It's the ONLY reason guys like Terry Bradshaw and Troy Aikman even got consideration for the HOF, let alone got inducted. Both guys were VERY average NFL QB's, but both won when it mattered. Favre has pissed away FAR too many games over the course of his NFL career for me to ever even mention his name among the 10 greatest QB's of all time!

Re: 2009 NFL Predictions

Postby YoungJRNY » Mon Sep 14, 2009 3:38 am

AFC East:

Patriots - 10-6
Miami - 9-7
Jets - 6-10
Buffalo - 6-10

New England is back with Brady, and that right there makes them a better squad than last year, who went 11-5 to miss the playoffs with a Quarterback thats last start was back in High School. Still, we don't know how Brady will pan out, since it's a huge gap missing a year of championship football, from a serious season ending injury, esp in Week 1 of the season. Manning's injury wasn't even as close as major to that of Brady's and Manning has admitted it took him and his knee awhile to get accustomed to playing live football again, so there will be a drop off, but nothing huge. I expect N.E to win the division, but also drop some game due to their defense who has many of holes to begin with, esp without veteran leadership. Miami could be a sleeper and win the division again, esp if Pennington plays mistake free football. Plus, their D should be better, since Joey Porter had another breakout season last year sacking the QB. Buffalo and N.Y.J aren't there yet, and won't be for a couple more years. Its New England to lose and should be a nice setup between them and Miami down the stretch.

AFC North:

Pittsburgh Steelers - 12-4
Baltimore Ravens - 9-7
Cincinnati Bengals - 9-7
Cleveland Browns- 5-11

The Steelers schedule looks tougher than advertised. Their next 3 games are by no means gimme's and will be provided as tests. Chicago is a game next week I see as a potential trap game going into unfamiliar territory, tough environment, and going up against another hard nosed defense. Cincinnati should be a better squad, along with San Diego. By no means a cupcake schedule. The Steelers are a team that plays the kind of football that gives teams fits. They are intimidating, and will punch you in the mouth all season long, regardless of who's next. You will be in a dog fight facing Pittsburgh, which is why teams like Cleveland & Cincinnati are unfortunate to play in a division that provide two of the best at doing so. Baltimore's defense, I feel, is on the decline, while their offense is on the uprise. Baltimore is bound to take one from Pittsburgh in one of the two meetings, but Pittsburgh is top dawg.

AFC South:

Indianapolis Colts - 11-5
Tennessee Titans - 9-7
Houston Texans - 9-7
Jacksonville Jaguars -8-8

Besides the NFC North, East & South, this is the hardest division in football. You know what you'll be getting from Peyton Manning and the Colts year in and year out, and this year they are poised to make a fast start compared to last year. They are also a team that wins 12 games every year of their existence. Even though that stat could hold, this division is tough as nails and each team is expected to get better, esp a sleeper in Houston. Tennessee won't be as good offensivley, and they very well lose a peg if Houston pans out the way their supposed to. Jacksonville needs to stay healthy, and play better at QB. This division is up for grabs, but Indy prevails.

San Diego Chargers- 10-6
Kansas City Chiefs - 7-9
Oakland Raiders - 6-10
Denver Broncos - 4-12

John said it best. The worst division I've ever seen, and they've over taken the AFC East from a couple years back as just bad competitors besides one team. I'm not on the Chargers bandwagon, and even though they are a potential SB contender, they are always missing SOMETHING and seem to fold down the stretch, esp. in the post season. They had to battle back and finish 8-8 last season, while Denver pissed away a 3 game lead, and lost their last 3 games last year to hand SD the Division. I expect SD to dominate their division, but not the entire NFL.There are better teams than them in the AFC. Kansas City is in good hands with their new GM who knows to win, along with a great head coach who can spread the field and develop points. We'll now see how good Cassel really is, even though he's out for week one. Oakland and Denver are a MAJOR work in progress. Ask me about them in 3-4 years.

NFC East:

Philadelphia Eagles - 11-5
NY Giants - 11-5
Dallas Cowboys - 8-8
Washington Redskins - 6-10

Again, a very demanding division. You put either of these teams in sub par divisions, and they are either first ballot Wild Card teams, or a top seeded team. I think this is Philly's year they finally reach the Super Bowl and possibly win it. D.M is still a game changer at QB and is underrated in my opinion mentioned this is the best team they've had in years, and they've had great ones, talent wise. NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES are still the concern, and the monkey turned into a GORILLA on their backs. The Giants should make a nice run and could go deep in the Playoffs, but I expect Philly to win a tiebreaker. Dallas is the worst 2nd half team in football, and Romo isn't a guy that can win a football game when faced with adversity and when they need him to step up and make a play for his team in crunch time. He is a choker! Washington's QB situation is pathetic and it will show chemistry wise on the offensive side in the ball with Campbell at QB.

NFC North:

Minnesota Vikings - 11-5
Green Bay Packers - 10-6
Chicago Bears - 8-8
Detroit Lions - 5-11

Minnesota and Green Bay will battle it out all season long, but Minnesota's defense holds strong and will be a tougher team to beat in the latter half of the season because of it. Aaron Rodgers I THINK is a stud, and will put up some nice numbers this season, and will soon be an elite QB in this league. The Bears are vastly over rated. Even though they acquired Cutler, who is a stud, I feel he is immature and relies on his arm strength too much and that isn't a good combo since he has squat to throw to. That city is built on D and they will keep them in the season, but will tail off towards middle season. Detroit will win 5 games this year, losing 16 games in the NFL will light a fire under ANYBODY and that eagerness and pressure to win a game will carry on and provide adrenalin in the Rookie Stafford and coaching staff. They are a 5 win team if they can finish games, which killed them a season ago.

NFC South:

New Orleans Saints: 11-5
Carolina Panthers: 10-6
Atlanta Falcons: 10-6
Tampa Bay Buccaneers - 7-9

The Saints are poised to make a comeback, and that offense can compete with a team like N.E in style points. The jury is still out on Atlanta, and we need to see how Ryan can produce in his sophomore season. They both have defense's that keeps an opponent in the game and the defensive side of the ball will determine how far they could go. Carolina lost a fluke game against Arizona in the divisional round last year, esp Delhomme throwing 5 picks. Their defense was always stout, and that running games makes a defense's chest swell up. They will be right there at the end of the season and will compete. Tampa is in a transition year in all phases of the game.



NFC West:

Seattle Seahawks - 10-6
San Francisco 49'ers - 9-7
Arizona Cardinals - 9-7
St. Louis Rams - 4-12

Seattle will be the most improved team in the league, with Hasselback coming back and having a nice weapon in Houshmenzadah. They will make the playoffs this year and will be back in the record books of having a terrible team the year before, to making the playoffs the next year. San Francisco will be TOUGH in the next couple years, and are heading in the right direction under Singletary. Arizona was a flash in the pan, and Warner will show his age this season. St.Louis has been one of the worst teams in football the last 5 years, and Bulger is a sitting duck back there. St.Louis is in the process of re building their O-Line. They will draft a QB in this years draft to turnaround their franchise.

Tough to make these predictions in Week 1, esp since the NFL works on a Week to Week basis. But it needs to be done!

MVP - Drew Brees
Comeback Player of the year: LaDanian Tomlinson

AFC Championship Game - New England versus Pittsburgh
NFC Championship Game - New Orleans versus Philadelphia

Super Bowl - Pittsburgh Vs Philadelphia or New Orleans Vs New England

Super Bowl Champion - Pittsburgh or New England

If you would of read on, this is the reason why I predict 10-6 for New England, which isn't far fetched considering how we don't know how Brady will respond.

I expect N.E to win the division, but also drop some game due to their defense who has many of holes to begin with, esp without veteran leadership.


Again, these predictions are made before the 2009 schedule is even played, we will have multiple predictions throughout the season. Week One picks never withhold.

Dude...I read your reasoning and there is simply NO reasoning on the planet to predict a team is going to become worse with Tom Brady at QB. I don't care if the Patriots lose their entire defense. It's still an ABSURD prediction!

That was fucking NUTS! All the Bengals receiver had to do was knock that ball down and it's game, set, match! Great ending but those are two DREADFUL teams!

In all fairness...he tried, the ball was just too high.

If you would of read on, this is the reason why I predict 10-6 for New England, which isn't far fetched considering how we don't know how Brady will respond.

lol okay dude you're exhausting. I'm sticking to my prediction. Obviously the 10-6 record for my reasoning doesn't stem from Brady's play, but that of their defense that will break at times and keep teams in the ball game. Why am I even talking? You're prediction of 12-4 holds no water to my 10-6, esp since they haven't played a single down of the 2009 product. Plus, it's a 2 game difference from yours, it's not THAT big of a difference maker considering N.E could possibly slip up here or there. For all we know, they could go 4-12! We will know soon enough though won't we dickhead? I'm done repeating myself. :roll:

Boy are they ever. The NFL is lucky to have an ending like that since this game was unbearable to watch. I was expecting WAY more out of Palmer and the offense.

If Brett Favre even comes anywhere near a Super Bowl this year, I will cut myself multiple times and stream it live to this forum. God, I can't imagine anything worse than ESPN masturbating over Favre's corpse in the super bowl


Get the knife ready...great QB on a great team.

As far as the Bills...they don't have an NFL calibre QB even

The end of the Bengals game had me literally crying.

Wow.

At least the D was looking good through most of the game.

Coles had, what, 5 drops?? Ridiculous coming from a veteran starter and a former Pro Bowler.

They are without a doubt a work in progress. Chad Johnson had a good day through the air and that should atleast be uplifting after watching last season. Palmer was always an over rated quarterback, but he was a product of a mechanical quarterback. It's going to take this offense some time to get back in the groove since Chad Johnson was injured last season, the loss of Housh, and also the injury to Palmer. They should pick it up, they just need other players to step up on the offensive side of the ball. I wouldn't get too excited about the defense since Denver was as evenly bad as the Bengals showed today. Still, Cincinnati will be an improved club.

Wow. I'm at work, but from here it looks like Jay Cutler's having a pretty rough debut in ChiTown.
