Upcoming Football Season

I know it is only early July, but with hockey and football still months away, and baseball not cutting it for me, I need to get some real sports talk happening. What are you Super Bowl picks for the upcoming year?

I have Green Bay and Denver, though I am not sleeping on Seattle from the NFC or Indy from the AFC.

    I've got my money on the Texans being Super Bowl contenders, if we can get rid of Matt Schaub... or he miraculously becomes Tom Brady's equally as great twin. I'm a huge Texans fan so I cannot wait for the season to start! Super happy with our draft picks as well!
  • I am a Packers fan, so I am happy we went out and drafted a solid running back, because we have zero run game. We need something other than Rodgers. I like Houston. Great team. I think Schaub can do it. Just needs to stay a little more patient. Then he can take Brady's place.

    Go packers!

    Can't wait to see Randall Cobb get more opportunities this year. He's a phenomenal talent and an all around great guy too.

    But, my bengals will suck as always! Assuming any of them are not in prison by the time the season starts...

    I don't take the time to pay attention to other teams (so selfish!) so I have no idea what the Packers have going on right now. I will pay more attention this season and see how you do! :) As far as H-Town goes... Schaub has the POTENTIAL to do it, but I've yet to see it! I would love for him to all of a sudden be AMAZE-BALLS and win us a ring!

    As someone who bleed blue, I am rooting for my GMEN to get their **** together again this year!

    I'm pretty impressed with the Packers right now to be honest though.

    It's only 57 days till Ravens/Broncos kick it offfffff

    i love all sports but there is something so special about the NFL. its no wonder its the most financially well off league in the world. its so successful that all 32 teams are in the top 50 world wide most valuable teams.

    The way Fox and Elway have built up the Broncs this off season it'll be really interesting to see what they can pull off. I am really sketchy on their run game without Willis McGahee in the back field though. Knoshow Merano has yet to finish a season, Lance Ball and Johnson have hardly any real play time same with Roni Hillman. They're wide out core though hell yeah! Manning is going to have a lot of field to through to secondaries will be extremely busy with that core of WR they have.

    That is where I am going with it. You can never sleep on Manning, and he was so phenominal in Indy with a minimal run game, that what they have added at the WR slot has them beating our Houston and New England for my pick in the AFC.

    I'm really out of touch with it so I have no idea what has happened to other teams in the off season but it looks like a rebuilding year for my Steelers, so I'm not too excited. But it's a long season and anything can happen.

    Here we go Brownies, here we go!

    That is, if we don't suck yet again, or our new owner doesn't lose the team, or the curse doesn't finish us off, etc...

    I'm a college football fantatic.
    And I'd basically give a boob for a non SEC team to win the NCG.

    Any team.
    BYU
    Texas-who I hate
    Miami-who I hate

    ANYBODY.

    Packers with their newly aquired running backs got the Super Bowl in the bag this year! Over the Texans.
    Cornhuskers are going to win the Rose Bowl cause I don't think they'll have enough to beat Ohio St for the Big Ten. Ohio St loses to an SEC team in the championship(as usual)

    Please refer to my ticker to see who my team is! :) I work 1/2 mile from the stadium and the flyovers go over my house. I read there won't be any flyovers this year, which is very sad.:sad:

    I'm more than ready for the season to start! Less than a month until Family night and then Preseason starts after that!!

    the thing that the NFL does better than most other leagues is parity. Every year, it seems, a bad team makes a tremendous leap to being decent.

    The other thing I am curious about is if/when defenses will catch up to the zone read offenses. Griffin, Kapernik, and Wilson seemed to usher in the offensive style with decent success, but defenses usually catch up in a year or so. I am also interested in Griffin's return from injury. Not so much about how he'll perform, but the injury seemed to cause some issues between Griffin and Shanahan (and Snyder to a lesser extent).

    I am a Lions fan, so I hope the move to pick up Reggie Bush turns out well for them as they need a little boost to their running game. But Schwartz is trying to solidify that defense, and the recent signing of Idonije will help that as well as signing a solid FS. Almost as important as the pickups was getting rid of Titus Young and all the baggage he brought.

    I'm not a Falcons fan, but I wouldn't be upset if Tony Gonzales got a Super Bowl win. I think he's much more likable than the circus that was Ray Lewis' Last Ride (on deer antler spray) last year.

    I am also curious about Chip Kelly's transition to the NFL. For some reason, people are expecting the same Oregon offense - but I think he's smarter than that. I don't particularly like the Eagles, or Mike Vick, so I hope they fail...but I have liked Chip Kelly.

    I'm a Ravens fan, been one since 96'. With our last SB win and the loss of so many free agents I am not looking at having a great season but I will still be watching every game in my purple and black.
