AFC & NFC East Predictions

NFC East

Philadelphia Eagles (11-5)

The NFC East is once again going to be a tough division this year, not only are the NFC East teams going to be beating up on eachother throughout the season but they have to face two other tough divisions the AFC North and the NFC South! It pains me to say it but unfortunately I think The Eagles will be the best team in the division this year. If Michael Vick is able to stay healthy their offense is going to be tough to stop and on the defensive side of the ball they have the corners to lock you down and the pass rushers to keep your quarterback down. They made a big upgrade at the linebacker position by trading for DeMeco Ryans and also on their defensive line by drafting the rookie lineman Fletcher Cox. Overall The Eagles have a solid team and should be competitive this year!

Dallas Cowboys (10-6)

It's hard for me to believe in The Cowboys because every year they start out with these high hopes and then there's Tony Romo to dash all my dreams! I know he isn't the only reason why they've been terrible the past million years but he definitely has not been a help! The Cowboys have a talented squad but that don't mean shit unless they actually stop with the stupid penalties and bone head plays. They took care of the biggest problem from last year which was the secondary, they drafted the top cornerback in the draft, Morris Claiborne, and also picked up free agent Brandon Carr. But once again did absolutely NOTHING to improve the offensive line. It's tough for a qaurterback to make decent plays when he's running around and has no time to set up a play and that's been a huge problem of theirs for awhile now and just refuse to even fix the problem! The Cowboys should be a better team than last year and should be competitive throughout the season, but I don't have my hopes set on a Super Bowl...maybe they can surprise me.

New York Giants (9-7)

The Super Bowl Champs are practically the same team they were last year just with a few players rotated out and the only player they lost to free agency that even mattered was Mario Manningham who wasn't that great to begin with. With that said The Giants did not play that well all last season, they were just able to get it together at the right time of the year and make a run to The Super Bowl, there is nothing wrong with that because hey they walked away with The Championship, but I don't think they will be as lucky this year! They have a tough schedule and offensively they don't really impress me. The defense will be what carries them through the season like it has over the past couple of seasons. But I don't think they will come close to repeating as Super Bowl Champs!

Washington Redskins (6-10)

The Redskins made a huge improvement to their team by drafting Robert Griffin III as their quarterback, I think he is the real deal and is going to take The Redskins in the right direction in the future. But for now outside of that who else does Washington have on their team?! They have a weak ass offense, with a mediocre receiving core and ground game. On defense there isn't much to write home about either. I don't expect much from The Redskins this year.


AFC East

New England Patriots (12-4)

The Patriots piss me off because they will probably always be competitive every single season until Tom Brady retires. The Patriots focused most of their off season bulking up their defense since that was their biggest weakness last year. They also added Joseph Addai in their backfield to give Tom Brady yet another weapon to work with. The Patriots do have a weakness though and that is their offensive line, for the most part The Patriots can get by with a weak offensive line because they have Tom Brady at quarterback but it will cost them some games. But outside of that I'm sure it's going to be yet another year of Tom Brady ripping apart each and every defense he faces.

New York Jets (10-6)

Well the most glorified backup of all time Tim Tebow has arrived in New York and of course ESPN is all over it! They just can't get enough of this douchebag for some reason, dude looks like a ballerina everytime he tosses up the ball that barely has any zip on it and he's lucky if it catches a spiral! One thing I will say is I don't believe at any point he will take over in place of Mark Sanchez unless he happens to get injured. Sanchez is not a great quarterback, but he is most definitely better than girlfriend Tebow! The Jets should be dominant on defense like they usually are, but I still think they will have problems on offense. The offensive line is pretty weak and the receiving core isn't deep at all. If Sanchez is running around he has been known to throw interceptions, so if they don't keep him comfortable in the pocket The Jets will go nowhere!

Buffalo Bills (8-8)

The Bills made a big move this offseason by signing defensive end Mario Williams, but they're still The Bills! They are a mediocre team in a division with The Patriots and they have no shot at winning anything this year or ever. The End!

Miami Dolphins (6-10)

The Dolphins are such a God awful team I can barely name three players from their roster. Who knows what they're going to do at quarterback, they have nobody to throw to, the ground game is also suspect, but hey at least they have Jake Long on that offensive line so he can block for....some loser! The Dolphins suck and I'm sure will have a different quarterback starting each game this year!
