The Official 2012 NFL Thread v. All aboard the Kaepernick bandwagon!

Colin Kaepernick played the best game of his life tonight. Gives me some faith that he might actually be the QB of the future for the 49ers. Hes a total beast athleticaly but hasnt showed much development as a passer until recently, if he can just throw the ball like he did tonight for the rest of his career he could be the next Steve Young.
 
The start of the season is so close I can taste it.

Oh gawd i cant wait, 49ers vs. Packers week one, should be epic! The sky is the limit for both teams, and this game will set the tone for the whole season.

Also, my least favorite team, the jets, look to be in the shitter, exactly where they belong.

ugh please avoid using epic to describe the result of an upcoming football game, please...for me? ;)

and set the tone for the whole season? care plz

i do respect your enthusiasm though, props
 
I was saying epic before it was cool dawg.

And it will set the tone for the whole season for both teams. Its one of the hardest games on paper on both sides. That being said, the 49ers dont have good history in Green bay, so I am definitely worried.
 
I think the 9ers take a step back this year

still make the playoffs in that division, but maybe like 9-7 or 10-5 but not 13-3 like last year
 
I think the 9ers win the Bowl this year.

The Dolphins sure as fuck won't. I have never gone into a season with less hope for my team. They are an embarrassment every single offseason.
 
so care you think if niners lose they could end up like 6-10?

i hope that's the case

i don't think they win more than 10 games this year

nfc west is a top 5 division, fuck the haters
 
The only games that really worry me are the giants bears, saints, patriots, lions and packers. The rest of our schedule is pretty soft on paper other then the seahawks which we may split games with. I think we'll win 5/6 division games and maybe drop a random one to a team that im underestimating. Even if we lose to the pack in week one and lose to the lions in week 2, I wont be too worried. Those are 2 of the hardest games this year. Im predicting an 11-5 or 10-6 season at worst.

Its not that I think the 49ers will go 6-10 if they lose to the packers, but it could be important for postseason seeding and power rankings ect.

Im not a huge fan of night games, and the Eagles are in 5 of them this year

1:00 games are by far the best
 
SO MJD is back, I thought he was gonna hold out the whole season.

As far as the divisions go, here is how I rank them.


Tier 1
NFC East- Three very competitive teams, and one that may be on the rise. Won the superbowl last year.

AFC North- Pretty much a tie for first. Three playoff teams last year speaks for itself.

NFC North- Three very competitive teams last year. The Packers nearly went undefeated.

Tier 2
NFC South- The Saints and the Falcons are playoff calibur teams, The Panthers are also on the rise and the bucs, while having a disappointing year were 10-6 a couple years ago.

Tier 3
AFC East- Patriots went to the SB last year, but IMO are on the decline. I think every other team will be below .500

NFC West- 49ers are a contender, Seahawks are middle of the pack and the cardinals may be good if they can get someone to throw the ball to fitzgerald without throwing the game away.

Tier 4
AFC West- No team really jumps out as a contender, but none are really that bad either.

Tier 5
AFC South- IMO by far the worst division. Texans will probably be the only team worth talking about.
 
I dont see the Seahawks being much better than 500 this year

and Id say the AFC west is betterthan the NFC West

Cards and Rams are top 5 picks next year in the draft id say
 
Rams maybe, I think the cards will surprise. People forget they had a 7 game winning streak last season, a legit defense, and they managed to take out your iggles.

I think the AFC west is one of the hardest divisions to gauge. Like I said they dont have any bad teams, but none of them are top 10 either. The fact that they dont have any obvious contenders bumbs them down IMO.

Anyone else love the bearded guy in the football commercials this year? I think he is hilarious.
 
last year nfc west crossed over with the nfc east and afc north

i'm 99% sure nfc west defeated both of those divisions overall

three....three is the number

there will be three teams that over achieve and three that under achieve(based on last years performance)
over achieve: seattle, buffalo and st. louis
under achieve: san fran, pittsburgh, new orleans

all biases aside....
 
hmm... Pittsburgh's got it tough, already, without the season even officially starting. the Steelers have MASSIVE O-line woes, which was supposed to be in part mended by their first round-draft pick... until he tore his MCL. so, they're right back to where they were last season (patch-work O-line)

I don't think the Steelers will be making it to the SB, but I do think that they will win a playoff game this year, therefore besting last year's effort
