AFC East Delay

Date: Jul 19, 2004

Are you doing the playoffs or Awards after the AFC East?

Date: Jul 22, 2004

W-A-L-T!

Walter · Status: Offline

Playoffs and Awards will be done after Fantasy Football is complete, which it almost is.

Date: Jul 26, 2004

Great, do you have Dallas making it past the first round this year?

Walter · Status: Offline

Not sure yet. I didn't even figure out who is playing who yet. All my fantasy rankings are complete. I just have to color coat them now.

Date: Jul 28, 2004

I figured you would have Washington v.s Green Bay and Dallas v.s Seattle. Then I figured you would have Washington v.s Atlanta and Seattle v.s Philly. Then Atlanta v.s Philly and Atlanta win. In the AFC I thought you would have Jets v.s Tennessee and Jacksonville v.s Kansas City. In the 2nd round Titans v.s. Patriots and Jaguars v.s Ravens. In the Championship I figured Pats v.s Ravens and since your biased you would have Ravens winning and then beating Atlanta in the SB. But thats just what I thought you would do.

With Jamal Lewis' Kobe Bryant like court appearences, it's going to be hard for me to have the Ravens winning the Super Bowl. Atlanta probably doesn't have the defense to advance to the Super Bowl either. I'll have the playoffs posted soon. What do you think will happen, given the playoff setup?

Date: Jul 29, 2004

I would say in Wildcard weekend, the Cowboys will go into Seattle and do to the Seahawks what Carolina did to the Rams last year, beat a hometeam that was undefeated in their home during the regular season. Then the Skins go into Lambeau and embarass the Pack, Redskins by 18. The Jags will go to Kansas City ( The Jags wont even be in the playoffs.) And be destroyed by the Chiefs, Chiefs by 32. Titans would put up quite a fight but the Jets would win by 3 in Overtime.

In the divisional playoffs, the Redskins would beat the Falcons by 4 by intercepting Vick, and keeping him off of the field. The Cowboys would get a win with another Overtime over the overrated Eagles, Cowboys by 14. The Jets would lose to the Ravens by 1. After having a late lead of 6 but the Ravens get a TD. Then the Patriots will destroy Kansas City, 45-0.

In the Conference title games, the Patriots will beat Baltimore by 14, Patriots to the Superbowl again. Then the Cowboys will beat the Skins by 18 in Washington. Cowboys to the SuperBowl.

In the Superbowl, the Cowboys will beat the Pats, because this time the Cowboys defense is better than New Englands, plus Dallas finally has a running game and Quincy Carter has solidified himself as an NFL Quarterback. Cowboys by 5. Cowboys are Champs again.

I dont think Dallas' defense is better than New England's. They have trouble getting to the quarterback.

Also, I see Jacksonville as this years' Carolina. When I had the Panthers going to the playoffs last year, no one thought I'd be right about that.

The Houston Texans are last year's Carolina I see them only making the divisional playoffs.

I don't think Houston has the defense to be this year's version of Carolina.

Date: Jul 31, 2004

They have made some great draft picks, on defense. They have the weapons to be a top ten defense.

I think their defense is okay, but they have a questionable defensive line and no depth anywhere. Also, their linebackers are nothing more than average.

Joey · Status: Offline

Fine. OK their Defense is not great, but their offense is great.

Walter · Status: Offline

Their position players are great, but their offensive line is still weak.

Joey · Status: Offline

I agree. And that O Line hurts them more than anything else. Without an O Line Domanick Davis cant run all over the Defense. But, I plan for them to attempt a monster of a trade.

Walter · Status: Offline

Who do you think they'll acquire? Big trades usually don't happen in the NFL

Is Strahan an Offensive linemen, or a Defensive lineman?

Joey · Status: Offline

TENNESSEE V.S SEATTLE! That would be a superbowl that I wouldnt watch. So when McNair had a Supporting cast you didnt pick them to win much, but now that he does, you pick em to win it all. Tennessee though, they will always hover around .500 they will never make it as far as the Divisionals again.

Strahan is a D-Lineman, why do you ask?

I had the Titans going to the AFC Championship last season. McNair still has support. He has 1,300 yard receiver Derrick Mason and a great offensive line. That's actually more support than Tom Brady had on offense. He lost Eddie George, but George's 3.3 yards per carry can easily be replaced. The Titans still have one of the better defenses in the NFL, and Jeff Fisher is definitely one of the best coaches in pro football.

I was wondering about Strahan because Iwas thinking that the Texans would try and get a trade for him, but I guess they wont be able to.

With Mason, it is just like Philadelphia you cannot bet your entire season on a reciever who will catch the ballonly about 8 times a game. McNair is a great QB but Tennessee is not strong enough for the postseason.

Antowain Smith is a fraud waiting to be exposed the only reason he was good with New England was because of a great supporting cast.

Walter · Status: Offline

Smith is a fraud, but Chris Brown is the Titans' starting running back. How can the Titans not be strong enough for the playoffs when basically the same cast went 12-4, despite McNair being hurt the second half of the season? I mean, Billy Volek was 2-0...

Joey · Status: Offline

You will see just how much Eddie George helped the Titans this season. I have them finishing with a 9-7 record, but I just think the AFC is too strong right now for them to make the postseason.

Walter · Status: Offline

Eddie George helped more as a leader than anything. Steve McNair and Keith Bulluck are still there, so George may not be missed that much. Besides, I still believe that Chris Brown is a better running back at this stage of George's career.

Joey · Status: Offline

I believe that Tennessee is the 7th best team in the AFC, behind, NE, IND, KC, BAL, NYJ, and HOU.

The Texans ahead of the Titans!? I doubt it.

Walter · Status: Offline

Maybe the Texans will be ahead of the Titans in 2005, but not now. Not with that offensive line or defensive line. Not with mediocre linebackers. Houston will be in playoff contention but I think they'll fall a bit short.
