Last chance predictions

[bobblehead]

OK gang, give me your last predictions before the season starts. I don't care how big or small. ONE prediction even if its "Jennings gets 1000 yards"

I'm going to make my startling prediction of....Jermichael Finley starts by week 4 and has a MONSTER season...I'm talking 700 yards and 8 TD's from our starting TE.

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

Rodgers wins MVP.

[BallHawk]

AJ Hawk makes the Pro Bowl.

[3irty1]

The public opinion of Cutler by the end of the season is that he's a huge douche. Even among the majority of Bears fans.

[Tony Oday]

Grant hits 1500 yards and 10 TDs

[boiga]

Packers have three 1000 yard receivers.

Leinart starts for Cards by the end of the season.

Medium-sized douche. And sweet-smelling, like lilacs.

Here's a loot of predictions; gotta give the bumpers some reason to go back and find a thread to prove somebody wrong

GREEN BAY PACKERS 10-6

OFFENSE

Average Points Per Game is 28.66
AROD 30 TD's and Pro Bowl Alternate
GRANT 1250 yards and 8 TD's
Jennings 1300 yards
Driver 1000 yards
Finley 50 receptions and 7 Touchdowns


DEFENSE

Overally ranking ends up at 14, which is greatly improved
GB gives up 19.9 points per game
Dom appears Genius Like, party because MM hired a moron before DOM
Kampman finishes with 9 sacks and GB struggles with the decision to resign him
Woodson excels in this defense and heads to another pro bowl
Harris continues to be solid
Coming off a torn ACL, Barnett starts but doesn't get back to true form this year
Collins is solid and a Pro Bowl Alternate
Bigby is again just a guy
AJ Hawk has a solid but unspectacular year leading some to call for more Bishop

[Partial]

Packers can finally run on third and short. The running game has big time holes and keeps the offense balance by averaging a buck twenty-fifty on the ground per game.

Bretsky, re that last point about Bishop, not that you're saying you like him or don't: remember when he played last year, quite a bit? He was awful in coverage, awful. Do you think he's better? OR do you think the 3-4 covers up his limitations better? In short, what do you think of Bishop?

My own feeling is that backups are often more popular than starters.

Bishop is a going to be a pre season story every year; he plays very well against backups and will make the occassionaly highlight play against starters. But IMO he's not a starter. His game has too many limitations and the 3-4 does help cover them up. But like Poppinga, he's a guy Offensive coordinators can scheme to expose. He might be an effective situational player but I don't think his game is well rounded enough to consider playing him every down

[oregonpackfan]

By week 13, Brett Favre will no longer be the starting QB of the Minnesota Vikings. He will "peter out" because of nagging injuries and/or lagging recovery time for those injuries.

Tavaris Jackson will take over as the starter and try to lead the team to get a wild card position for the playoffs.

[MJZiggy]

I predict that by the end of the season, folks will stop trying to replace Crosby and Kapinos.

[MJZiggy]

I further predict that Dom will tighten up the run defense pretty quickly.

[Bretsky]

I predict that by the end of the season, folks will stop trying to replace Crosby and Kapinos.

Crosby has loads of talent
Kapinos upside is what it is; he'll be replaced within two years
