you cant get 50 yards on an out-of-bounds punt
I wasnt saying Oakland was that irrational a pick, just saying all your other choices made too much sense, but i like your lateral thinking on the chiefs offense.
Its kind of like Anquan Boldin, Domanick Davis and even Nick Barnett last year. Things are gonna happen, players are gonna emerge and whole teams are going to play way below or way above what (on paper) they should.
My predictions then..
Philly to the superbowl, especially if Brian Westbrook carries on from where he left off last season.
Browns emerge as the new Chargers -- great player (Winslow) on a crap team.
Bills get a winning record
Everyone's been tipping Jacksonville to improve drastically, so it wont be a surprise, but the AFC South should be loads and loads of fun. It should be the most competitive division this season.
Gotta ask, when is Tomlinson's contract up? Only a fool would re-sign with the Chargers, and that would be the biggest free agent windfall in history if he keeps up his form.
Talk about helter skelter predictions. I think New Orleans have too much talent now to be out of the playoffs. Vick being alive and well should be plenty of fun for all of, uh, two games. I predict he swallows his tongue in game 2 when Leonard Little hits him from the blindside.
Ooh yea, predictions for first pick in 05 draft! It's between Giants and Browns for me, and guess what.. its the direct result of them having complete ****heap drafts this year. The only way I would give away that many picks to get Manning would've been an ironclad guarantee that Manning will get me 20 TD passes/3000 yards a year for the next decade, it was absolutely ludicrous.
Now to pull some statistical leaders for next season out of my backside:
Most rushing yards: Jamal Lewis.
Most sacks: Jevon Kearse.
Most solo tackles: Takeo Spikes/Keith Bulluck (tied on 97).
Most cheesy half-sacks (i.e. falling on a downed QB): Warren Sapp.
And the superbowl goes to, hmm.. well.. anything I put here is gonna be wrong, so.. it's a tie between the Eagles and Steelers and they decide to share it by reuniting into the Steagles.
Alright, enough random predictions from me.
