^ I disagree with AP being the entire Vikings offense. sure, he is carrying most of the load since Favre doesn't have a major downfield threat, but Brett Favre always starts off slow in the NFL season. if you watched the NFL season opener, you would have seen that he was just a tad early on his throws. these are things he usually corrects as time goes on.

he doesn't have a downfield threat, but he will still hit some miracles downfield no matter what. because that's what Brett Favre does.

I'm looking to going undefeated in my Pick Ems this week, and hopefully winning a decent pool of much needed money.

Percy havrin is a legit deep threat though, they need to place him in the slot use him like wellker
 
Percy Harvin was definitely missing something. Maybe those migraines were more serious than suspected?
I don't understand how anyone of the "experts" that get paid to talk continually discount the Saints. They looked so complete, Brees is as great as they come, Pierre Thomas is a real threat out of the backfield especially in tandem with Reggie Bush; Colston, Meachem, Shockey, and Henderson are serious targets all over the field. They only improved from last season, they didn't get worse or get injured anywhere that really matters. They are absolutely the favorites in the NFC until the 49ers can find a quarterback or Green Bay can protect theirs.

The Vikings are worse off than they were last year, the Cowboys still have the same coaches so that means that they will beat the hell outta teams that every serious team should beat, and lose against anyone who is slightly competitive (I'm a Cowboys fan so I'm used to disappointment.) I don't think the Cowboys are even remotely serious until they demote Wade Philips to Defensive Coordinator and fire Jason Garret. They win games IN SPITE of those two coaches, not because of them.
The Cowboys are not made up of Champions except for DeMarcus Ware, Jason Witten, and maybe Miles Austin and Tony Romo, until Dez Bryant can prove that he's not just another punk diva wideout.
The NFL is so much more fun to watch than college!
I don't care if they don't do a trick play as often, the caliber of every team is so much better,

Also watch out for the Lions now that they have a serious deep threat in Calvin Johnson, a tough young QB with a rocket for an arm in Stafford, and now a monster of a DT in Suh. I think they can be most improved this year unless the Raiders win that honor instead.

I agree.The Saints are looking very good.Brees is a good Qb and shockey,henderson and such are only getting better.
Im new to football,jus got into it last year so sorry for my newbish statements.

I too am cowboys fan,despite me being from WI.My friends are like "WTF MAN YOU LIKE THE COWBOYS TRAITOR!!" lol.
I like Tony Romo.I really would like to see the cowboys go somewhere.
But my favs are Saints and Packers.
The packers finally have a good team,from what i heard,possibly championship team this year. Is this true?
And Rodgers,is getting the hang of things and I think Rodgers can be as good as Favre[or better] if he tries.
I think he handles pressure better than favre.When favre gets to close to getting sacked it seems he kinda panicks and just whips the ball to a random teamate rather then according to my friend "throw it out of the sidelines/outta danger' which makes perfect sense because that rpevents interceptions and starts the next down,right?

Go Saints and Go Packers!
I think the Saints deserved winning last year after all the shit their city/state has went through in the past incidents.It made me happy to see them win.

The vikings are a good team.I dont know much bout them but my friend whom got me into football and has bein schooling me loves the vikings and says they have a good team.
Although,Im not big on the Vikings.
Favre cheated on the packers with the jets and then finally the Viks,but that was because of Ted Thompson my friend said.IDK the whole story.
 
well, technically the Packers decided to move on with their new QB, Aaron Rodgers, and Favre still wanted to plays o he took a good job at the New York Jets - and then a better one with the Minnesota Vikings. it's hard for a football fan to hate Brett Favre, I think he's a swell enough guy.

however, if the guy can't win a SB with the Minnesota Vikings (great defense and run game) - what team can he win one with?

I agree CoffeeDrinker, NFL is much more entertaining than college football. and this is coming from a fellow who lives on the biggest college campus in the world.

my favorite team, the Steelers just played a rather sloppy and low-scoring defense battle of a game against the Atlanta Falcons. offense came few and far between with the starting QB out, but the score was low and the Steelers made the Falcons play their kind of game (defensive battle) - and won
 
Thank god the fins played the bills the first game of the season. It's kind of the equivalent of the Canes playing Florida A&M. A lot of tuning up to do, but at least we came up with a win. Henne looks like an average QB, which isn't going to cut it for us to go anywhere this year, but the defense looks good. Given, it's Florida A&M.. I mean the Bills, but it still looked good.

do the Philadelphia Eagles wish that they had kept Donovan McNabb, or what?

I'm going to say yes and farewell to Andy Reid if they dont make the playoffs.



And the Steelers......thank the lord for Troy Polamalu being back and healthy. One game down, 3 to go without Big Ben.
 
a win is a win is a win!

nice to see you back for this year's excitement of being a Steelers fan, Wyld

I agree with this.Favre is passin his prime,he can throw but half the time it is an interception[when it counts].

Rodgers will pass him up one day,I hope.
 
my buddy was watching the bills game on my new 50 inch plasma while i watched the bucs on my laptop.
ill take a win on the small screen any day though
 
I know it's early, but there doesn't seem to be a dominant team this season.

Gonna be a lot of parity - a lot of close games.

No one's gonna do any better than 13-3, and 10-6 will probably make the play-offs in both conferences, which should both go down to the wire.

Seattle might be unexpectedly good.

I think the Redskins might be pretty good, too.

The Saints and Colts remain the teams to beat, imo, but they're definitely both beatable.

Should be a fun season to watch.

As always. :)

I am willing to be anything that if Favre would have put more effort into training camp he wouldnt have been so off in the season opener and probably would have beaten the saints.

The redskins are not good. Well they have a good defense but they will short on offense all year. I dont think they will do any better than last year. They are the New York Giants Lite.
Th
Colts are not a threat to anybody this year. Keep your eye out on the pats. They could have put up 45+ against the bengals if they wanted to.

Also dont count the steelers out. That defense is back to superbowl form and they might even have a better running game than they did two years ago when they won it. If they go 3-1 before Ben's suspension is over they will easily win their division.

95% agree with you, except for that I think the Packers and the Jets (if Sanchez plays well) will also be team(s) to beat, but then again I do love Green Bay and always think they're gonna do well.
