(1st post
)
AFC Champions: Baltimore Ravens - never know but i wouldn't say so
NFC Champions: Green Bay Packers - same deal
Superbowl Winner: Green Bay Packers- same deal again
"Surprise" Team: Detroit Lions - tbh not far off, things have picked up in the motor city, 4 straight to end the year. Real winner of this has to be Kansas
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Team: would say Chicago but they're not really overhyped this year.... San Diego/Dallas would be my pick - Got myself out of a spot there and nailed my two underachiever picks... boom!
Off MVP: Chris Johnson again -Nope
Def MVP: Troy Polamalu, if he stays fit - Nope
Regular Season MVP : Aaron Rodgers will be more deserving but because Peyton Manning is Peyton Manning it'll go to him... again - Nope
Off Rookie MVP: CJ Spiller - Wrong, but Chan Gailey actually giving him the ball might have helped his case
Def Rookie MVP: Suh - certainly a contender
"Surprise" Player: Kyle Orton - fair to say, played very well for 2/3s of the season and surprised many. slipped late on though and lost the job to Tebow, has to be vick though
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: Cutler, another 20+ INT season in the pipeline for him - Nah, he did throw his fair share of them but he has worked well as a game manager in the Martz offence. Still not sold on him as elite though.
Your Own Team : Denver Broncos (seems I'm the 1st here!:D)
Regular season record: 9-7/8-8 - Oh GOD
Best rookie: Perrish Cox - to be fair, his performances have actually been dead solid when he has played and he looks to have potential. Not that it matters, he's probably going TO JAIL. Also, answers on a postcard for who the real most impressive bronco rookie was this year, even if it was only 3 starts...
Most looking forward to seeing: Kyle Orton, if the preseason is anything to go by, he's looked to have improved considerably. Also interested in seeing what we'll do with Tim Tebow, if anything.- pretty fair, Orton was dead solid and Tebow has looked exciting and promising in limited playing time
Meh, mixed haha0 -

Hey,quite possible for above three
"Surprise" Team: Detroit Lions They did very well but Chiefs probably take this title
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Team: New York Jets, great on paper and sure they did well last year but they won't repeat it, not even close
Off MVP: Aaron Rodgers Nope, he did fine
Def MVP: Patrick Willis Still an amazing player but he won't be considered
Off Rookie MVP: Ryan Matthews If he played every week like he did in Week 17, he'd be MVP. But a bad prediction from me
Def Rookie MVP: Ndamakong Suh Dead cert :cool:
"Surprise" Player: Chad Henne, one year after being made starter will have a massive season. He's not even the best QB at the Dolphins!
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: Jay Cutler, predictable choice. Mike Martz brought in but it won't help here, not with the offensive line they have, Cutler will do badly, is over-hyped:o:o
Your Own Team Ravens
Regular season record: 11-5 12-4, better then expected!
Best rookie: Sergio Kindle, we don't have any one rookie becoming an instant starter, Kindle will do well in rotation, This waste of space? He got great support and sympathy yet fecked up yet again with another DUI incident. It's possible he'll never start in the NFL
Most looking forward to seeing: Ravens aren't known for explosive offense but Flacco can go for over 4,000 yards this year Not quite, the Ravens ran more in 2010 then in 2009, the offensive isn't fantastic but it's good0 -
-AFC Champions: Indianapolis Colts - Doubt it.
NFC Champions: Minnesota Vikings(With Favre) - lol @ me, how embarrassing.
Superbowl Winner: Indianapolis Colts - Doubt it.
"Surprise" Team: Detroit Lions - Well I was suprised, there's a few others that deserve this title.
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Team: Green Bay Packers - Well they didn't win the division so that's kinda underachieving..I'm trying hard to make my predictions seem less silly..
Off MVP: Payton Manning - No
Def MVP: Darrelle Revis - No
Off Rookie MVP: Ryan Matthews - No
Def Rookie MVP: N*mumble* Suh - Correct, and now I can spell him name
.
"Surprise" Player: Johnny Knox(Let me have this, Bears aint doing s**t this season. - Suprised that he came really close to 1000. And I was wrong about us not doing s**t this year
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: Aaron Rodgers - Wrong.
Your Own Team - Bears
Regular season record: 7-9 - Wrong
Best rookie: Major Wright..the only one that has a chance of playing. - He was decent but I have to give it to Corey Wooten, he ended Favre's career.
Most looking forward to seeing: Jay Cutler in the Mike Martz offense. It could go horribly wrong or it could be beautiful.
Also a healthy Urlacher. Started off horrible tbh but it got better. Also great to see Urlacher healthy again.
God, I'm bad.0 -

"Surprise" Team: Kansas City Chiefs Bang on
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Team: New York Jets Not in the Cowboys/Vikings league but they will be one & done in the playoffs
Off MVP: Chris Johnson No
Def MVP: Patrick Willis No
Off Rookie MVP: Montario Hardesty Ryan Matthews No
Def Rookie MVP: Eric Berry No
"Surprise" Player: Alex Smith Hell No
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: Rashard Mendenhall No
Your Own Team: New England Patriots
Regular season record: 12-4 Close enough
Best rookie: Rob Gronkowski Turns out there was no wrong answer to this question
Most looking forward to seeing: Tom Brady and the offence returning to 2007 form (and Laurence Maroney rushing for 1200+ yards) Brady is back, Maroney gone thankfully!!
So to summarise, I suck at individual predictions but I'm about average at team predictions.0 -
AFC Champions: NY Jets Meh we'll see, not likely.
NFC Champions: NO Saints Meh also. Easy enough run there tho.
Superbowl Winner: Jets see above
"Surprise" Team: Bucs (hopefully)/RaidersNot bad?
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Team: Chargers Not bad.
Off MVP: Drew Brees Nope, stand up Mr. Brady
Def MVP: Darelle Revis Nope, stay sitting Revis
Off Rookie MVP: Ryan Matthews :eek:
What was I at? Mike Williams with his 11 TD's anyone, or LeGarret Blount with 1,007 yds an an avg 5yds per carry.
Def Rookie MVP: Gerald McCoy Nope, didnt generate nearly enough sacks, but looks a good prospect. Suh on the otherhand... beast!
"Surprise" Player: Tim Tebow (for the craic) He wasnt bad. A little surprising, but i'll give props to the boy Freeman here. Josh was super this year.
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: Adrian Peterson Didn't look himself all year, with no O-Line.
Your Own Team: Bucs
Regular season record: 7-9 Better then expected, and I thought i was being ambitious!
Best rookie: Gerald McCoy Nope, ok, but Williams was awesome. Special mention to the 10 Rookie Starters the Bucs had during the year. Grimm, Williams and Blount really impressed.
Most looking forward to seeing: The mixture of youth and experience this year with the Bucs. Maybe spring a few surprises. I think with the defence looking more solid, a few wins might be on the cards. Plus looking at the stats for the division, the bottom team has topped the Division the next year on a number of occasions. Why not this year? :P
Why not? Close losses twice to Atlanta, stupid loss to Detroit... thats why
Good year for the Bucs all things considered (13 on IR, 10 Rookie Starters, 2nd Yr QB, 39 yr Old Head Coach) Would have loved to see us play the Eagles in Philly and bring back memories of old glories. Draft another few D-Linemen and a Big Strong MLB, move Rudd and we have ourselves a team.
Revised Playoff Predictions:
AFC: Pats
NFC: Eagles
Superbowl: Pats- Highscoring QB shootout. 41-340 -
ReacherCreature wrote: »Taking the leap
AFC Champions: Patriots (:P) Could still happen I guess.
NFC Champions: Packers Same with this.
Superbowl Winner: Packers If it's this matchup, Brady could repeat it although with Rodgers healthy, that's dangerous.
"Surprise" Team: Falcons or Raiders? Sort of right here.
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Team: Jets I hate the Jets, but more specifically, Rex Ryan.
NFL MVP: Aaron Rodgers Brady should win.
Off MVP: Aaron Rodgers Doubt it.
Def MVP: Patrick Willis Had a poorer statistical season than last so no.
Off Rookie MVP: CJ Spiller Nope
Def Rookie MVP: Eric Berry Could do
"Surprise" Player: On a whim: Bengals' WR Jordan Shipley. Had a nice season for a rookie but no one's talking about him
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: Mark Sanchez maybe. Nah.
Your Own Team - Patriots
Regular season record: 11-5 I'll gladly say I was wrong here!
Best rookie: Devin McCourty. Although I'd like to see Spikes and Price do well. Correct with Devin. Savage player for us.
Most looking forward to seeing: Tom Brady firing passes. Seeing Edelman do good and have Welker back to health. Lot of excitement. All of these happened and importantly, Brady played well!
...0 -
This is how I did..... :rolleyes::D
AFC Champions: Texans (ehmmmm)
NFC Champions: Cowboys(ehmmmm)
Superbowl Winner: Cowboys(looks away)
"Surprise" Team: Texans (surprisingly eratic)
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Team: Chicago- Martz will help but they have a poor receiving corps and a poor O Line (Like politics- its matter of opinion- but I think I was close)
Off MVP: Aaron Rodgers (Brady deserves it and Rodgers is looking nervy in Post season.)
Def MVP: Darelle Revis (Off Co-ord designed gameplans to avoid him so I guess it was to be expected) I hope Clay Matthews gets it. That dude is relentless)
Off Rookie MVP: Ryan Matthews(who?) ( I would go for Blount - NO one saw his season coming. Congrats to him, folks wanted to see him explode at folk and he is keeping his head down. Head Coach to thank fo rthat. Bucs look like they will be a good for a few years to come.)
Def Rookie MVP: Eric Berry(Suh for sure)
"Surprise" Player: Michael Crabtree (still right on this one for wrong reasons)
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player:Jay Cutler (Nail on Head)
Your Own Team: Pittsburgh Steelers (I hope we don't meet the Pats. Brady's Dink & Dunk offense was too much for us before.)
Regular season record: 10-6 (12-4) better than expected but we need more offense.
Best rookie: Steelers tend to ease their rookies in but Pouncey is a beast.( I am gonna gloat on this one) :cool::cool:
Most looking forward to seeing: Troy Polamalu - The guy is just simply the best safety in the league... Run stopping - Picks - Tackling - Coolest hair.0 -

this is how ive done
AFC Champions: Indianapolis Colts Still possible
NFC Champions: New Orleans Saints Still possible
Superbowl Winner: Indianapolis Colts Still possible
"Surprise" Team: Seattle Seahawks Im claiming this as correct
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Team: New York Jets
Off MVP: Drew Brees Jinxed him but he still had a great year
Def MVP: Troy Polumalu Ok so not MVP dut still damn good
Off Rookie MVP: Ryan Matthews Did ok but expected more
Def Rookie MVP: Nate Allen Ok so this is wrong but he was great before getting injured
"Surprise" Player: Jamal Charles Think he has surprised many
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: Anaquin Boldon Nailed this one
Your Own Team: Eagles
Regular season record: 8-8 I love being wrong here
Best rookie: Nate Allen Without a shadow of a doubt
Most looking forward to seeing: Kolb v McNaab twice. lol neither are even starters anymore haha:D 0 -

Who are these people???
Bit of strange response from someone assuming someones identity.
I cannot, nor do I want to, list all the analysts, pundits, fans etc who have said Cutler has the potential to be an MVP. I was merely saying that I don't think he has shown the temperament to be an MVP.
So to answer your question - everyone I heard. Hope this helps with your confusion Mr. Tom0 -

At no point did I state that I or anyone predicted that Cutler would win the MVP this year. I merely said that a lot of pundits prior to the season and even today rate Cutler as an elite QB. And usually MVP votes tend to lead towards QB's. And to base a case on someone having a 'few' cracking games in a season brings me to the thought that one swallow makes not a summer especially if its raining when you see it. Or 3 good games don't make you an MVP regardless of a poor O Line. Surely this is something you Mr Tom. having lost your receivers and developing rookies and still managed to put together an MVP year. I voted for you.
14 QB's have won the MVP in the last 20 years. Two won it in 2003.
The original point of my argument (which seems to be getting 'chest beaten' to death by more knowledgeable 'true' fans) was that IMHO Cutler hasn't lived up to the hype he has gotten. In the same way I think Rodgers is a quality QB but has done nothing in the post season, Romo and the Cowboys similarly. In m y mind an MVP has to have the ability to rise above the hype they create a show a genuine humble leadership qualities and I don't believe Culter has that - yet.
Regardless of whether or not you agree with my opinion is irrelevant. It seems to touched a nerve.
So, because of your interjection I feel like the light has dawned and I now subscribe to your way of thinking. Cutler Rocks!!!
I bet he throws 2/3 picks in his first post game of the post season. And if I am wrong I welcome all the people with 'superior' knowledge and higher post counts then I to come and highlight my flaws in trying to be a 'true' fan.
Here is my fav pundit to follow
5 pts - AFC West Winner - Chargers @ 4/9 (extrabet)
They say there's no such thing as a sure thing in gambling, but trust me - betting on the Chargers to win AFC West is akin to printing your own money. The Broncos are the only real challengers0 -

Are you capable of having a discussion without playing the victim card?
LOL, I will try
Horrible reading?
Then don't read or reply....
Let me quote a pundit who's opinions I don't care for
5 pts - AFC West Winner - Chargers @ 4/9 (extrabet)
They say there's no such thing as a sure thing in gambling, but trust me - betting on the Chargers to win AFC West is akin to printing your own money. The Broncos are the only real challengers!!!
I guess we all get it wrong.
Clearly incapable of having a discussion when you resort to repeating your cheap shots. I go on record with my bets, I have no problem with that. I clearly didn't have a problem when I more than doubled my money.
You're really painting yourself in a great light here, please continue.0 -
At least I've got the balls to put my money where my mouth is and I have no problem admitting when I get a prediction wrong. Really pathetic move out of you there tbh, no I know the type of character I'm trying to engage with which makes me wonder why I bother. Pathetically cringeworthy.
I put my money where my mouth is everyday my friend, but anyway you are making remarks about me when I never commented personally on your character only your judgement. And I invited all the online criticism people can bring should I be wrong in predicting 2/3 picks in Cutlers next game. So maybe you have more money or just a bigger mouth.
Now I will assume you disagree with my opinion on Cutler so the floor is yours to have the last word or final say. View it how you wish Mr Tom.0 -

You're the one who got incredibly defensive when I said that any knowledgeable fan would know what to expect from Cutler. Considering he took 10 sacks when he was only on the field for 37 pass attempts in preseason, people knew what to expect. You took that as a dig at you, it was no such thing. It was a dig at the pundits and fans you claimed rank him as elite and an MVP candidate. If you weren't so defensive, we wouldn't have this problem.
You're also the one who went looking through my betting log in a different forum looking for something I got wrong as a "nah nah nah nah" jibe. People will draw their own conclusions from that. It being pathetic was the conclusion I drew myself tbh, I reckon Im not the only one.
Put it this way - I'd rather get a prediction wrong and admit it rather than try and save face and claim it was right which is what you're doing. Were there a definite statistic that could indicate whether Cutler has underachieved, no bookies in the world would payout on you being right in that case.0
