Hello fellow SRK members, thread readers, and non members alike! I hope everyone is doing good and ready to enjoy a new season. I’ll try to post in this thread more often this season, I’ve been very lazy the past two years. So, to try to earn some good will back, I present to you CapMaster’s 2011 NFL Preview Spectacular!
I think the past few years, to win in the NFL you need luck with injuries and schedule more then ever. Because football is so hard to predict, I’m going to try something new this year: give a win total range for each team. The higher number could represent an “if all goes right” type of season. The low represents more of a steady, not spectacular season. Again, no disrespect to anybody or their teams in this thread. If one of my predictions goes horribly wrong, so be it.
AFC East
New England (10-14 wins)- They weren’t even supposed to be as good as they were last year. Now their young guys get another year to develop. Ochocinco is not Randy Moss, but they always know how to use their weapons correctly.
Jets (9-12 wins)- The defense will be there, but I’m not convinced they are better then they were last year.
Miami (5-9 wins)- They have some elite players at some positions, but I don’t like the sum of the whole. Pretty much your definition of a mediocre team.
Buffalo (5-7 wins)- They won’t roll over, and I like some of the young guys they have. May not win a lot of games, but will be a fun team.
AFC North
Pittsburgh (10-13 wins)- Maybe the most balanced team. Their receivers could be even better this year.
Baltimore (7-11 wins)- They will be more explosive on offense with Lee Evans and Torrey Smith, but I don’t know if that means they will be better. I thin they might miss McGahee, Heap and Derrick Mason.
Cleveland (5-8 wins)- New coach, new system again. I don’t think Peyton Hillis has that kind of year again, but they are building something. They just have to wait and have another year of solid drafting and free agency.
Cincinnatti (3-6 wins)- With a better QB, they could be a much competitive team. Still some talent at the skill positions and on defense. Why don’t they let Gradkowski start for the year, as opposed to just throwing the rookie in there?
AFC South
Houston (7-11 wins)-Now or never. Loaded at the skill positions, have enough talent on defense to not totally suck like last year.
Tennessee (6-9 wins)- If Houston can’t play up to their potential, this may be the next team left. I’d like to see how Hasselbeck does for them this year. He’s aging, but CJ and Kenny Britt are light years ahead of anyone he got to play with in Seattle the past few seasons.
Indinapolis (4-9 wins)- Even if Peyton comes back, their talent level and especially coaching has eroded a bit.
Jacksonville (4-7 wins)- I didn’t think they were going to be good with David Garrard. Thin at receiver, the secondary, and the pass rush? They over-achieved a bit last year. A possibe worst team candidate.
AFC West
San Diego (8-10 wins)- Every year I feel these guys are massively overrated, but nobody else is really any good in the division.
Kansas City (6-9 wins)- They have a couple of big time players, but they are not a deep team. I think the loss of their offensive coordinator and the young tight end is going to be a problem. If they play to potential, still have enough talent to win the weak division again.
Oakland (5-10 wins)- Big variance. They have some upstart players, but after losing their two best players in free agency I don’t know how they can be any better. If they put it together, Ewing Theory style, it wouldn’t shock me if they won the division.
Denver (5-8 wins)- If John Fox can settle the defense down, might win some ugly games. They don’t quite have the personnel yet to play the Fox style that he likes. Success depends on what he can get out of Josh McDaniels’ remaining players.
NFC East
Philadelphia (10-12 wins)- Elite in some areas, poor in others. Hopefully the offensive line and linebackers don’t ruin what could be a special season.
Dallas (7-9 wins)- My least favorite team, but you can’t deny their talent. If they can’t figure out a way to get to 9 wins, they maybe aren’t as talented as everyone thinks they are.
N.Y. Giants (5-9 wins)- The injuries are a problem, but it seems like the Giants come through when they appear headed for doom. If they rally and the offense has a great season, could sneak into the 6 spot.
Washington (5-7 wins)- They should be a little better then last year, but still lacking at receiver, offensive line, and especially quarterback.
NFC North
Green Bay (10-13 wins)- I buy into the belief they will be better this year, with adding Ryan Grant and Jermichael Finley back as well as another year for their young guys to develop. Top to bottom, a deep and talented team.
Chicago (6-9 wins)- Everyone is down on them, and there’s some good reasons for it. They should still have a very good defense, and last year they beat some good teams despite how “lucky” TV talking heads thought they were. That has to count for something. The defense will keep them in games, how much they can score and not turn the ball over will bump or decrease their win total.
Detroit (6-9 wins)- Everyone is on the bandwagon, but on offense they are built around three injury prone guys. I hope it works out for them, but this could almost be like the Yao and T-Mac Rockets. They may still need another year of drafting and free agents to become a real contender.
Minnesota (5-10 wins)- I don’t think they are as horrible as everyone thinks they are. They still have some good talent. If Donovan has a good year, they can be a surprise team to sneak into the playoffs. He’s never played on a run-first team like this with a guy like AP.
NFC South
New Orleans (10-13 wins)- They somehow got lost in the “best offseason” hype. They reworked their running game as Ingram and Sproles can be the new McAllister and Bush. They beefed up their defensive line big time. This is a loaded team that if they can generate a few more turnovers like in their Super Bowl year they’re going back.
Atlanta (8-12 wins)- I have a feeling they may slide back a bit. I like their offseason additions, but they may have over achieved a bit last year and got exposed in the playoffs. I don’t know yet if they are a championship worthy defense. If that defensive unit and/or Matt Ryan jump another level, this is a major contender.
Tampa Bay (6-10 wins)- A tough team to call. Metrics say they will regress, but all of their young guys get another year to play together. They have good talent at a lot of positions, their season depends on how fast it clicks. Possible playoff team.
Carolina (3-6 wins)- They should be fun to watch, especially if it’s true they are going to let Cam run some trick plays. However, fun may not translate to wins until either Cam learns to pass or the defense gets built back up. It’s a shame their second receiver (David Gettis) got hurt in training camp, I felt he could be a breakout player.
NFC West
St. Louis (7-10 wins)- A hard schedule in the first half of the season can screw them big time. Top to bottom, they seem to be the most solid team in the division. If Bradford’s rookie year turns out to be an aberration however, they fall back down.
Arizona (5-9 wins)- Kevin Kolb isn’t an elite quarterback, but he IS better then what they had last year. The defense might be ugly, but their win total will be dependent on how good their running game can be and if using their good homefield advantage, they win a game or two they shouldn’t that puts them over.
San Francisco (4-7 wins)- In desperate need of a quarterback, and I don’t like some of the pieces they lost on defense, which was their most talented unit. With a good quarterback and offensive line, they all of a sudden could jump to 9 or 10 wins.
Seattle (4-7 wins)- They improved at other positions, but maybe the worst QB situation in the league. They have some good individual players but it doesn’t quite add up yet. A worst team candidate.
AFC Playoff teams- New England, Pittsburgh, Houston, San Diego, Jets, and a tie between Baltimore and Tennessee for the last spot
NFC Playoff teams- Green Bay, New Orleans, Philadelphia, St. Louis, with a huge cluster/tie between Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, Detroit, and Tampa for the two wild card spots.
Final Four- New England, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, New Orleans
Super Bowl XVI- Green Bay beats New England
Enjoy the season everyone!
Rodgers puttin’ in work.
