2015 NFL Season Predictions
NFC West
Seattle Seahawks (13-3)
I don’t know how it’s
possible, but the Seahawks got even better this offseason with the addition of
Jimmy Graham. The Seahawks have yet to have a consistent “go to” wide receiver
and I think they finally got him with this trade for Graham! Marshawn Lynch is
still in the backfield carrying that rock running like the smash mouth back he
is and Russell Wilson is still the captain leading the squad. The Seahawks on
defense are still stacked and have one of the best secondary’s in the league it’s
going to continue to be tough to pass on them. Basically there isn’t anything
bad I can say about the Seahawks, I have a feeling they will take that gut
wrenching loss from the Super Bowl and learn from it to do even more big things
this season.
Arizona Cardinals (10-6)
The Cardinals started
to build a foundation last season and look to keep building this season. I
think the Cardinals will be one of the dark horse teams this season that take
everyone by surprise. They are in a tough division so they will have to battle
it out until the end, but Bruce Arians is a strong minded coach who will have
his team ready to go. If Carson Palmer can stay healthy they should be a threat
throughout the season and everyone seems to have forgotten about Larry
Fitzgerald, but I haven’t. Not only is he still one of the best receivers in
the game, but his leadership alone makes his team better. Their defense is
suspect which is why I don’t think they have a shot at beating out Seattle for
the division, but I think they have enough fire power with Patrick Peterson to
make some big plays and get some big wins!
St. Louis Rams (8-8)
The Rams are a mish
mash of everything, well everything except a good player. They have a bunch of
decent players who will help get them some wins, but overall there is nothing
going on with this team. Nick Foles is their quarterback…..WHOOP DI DOO!!! Todd
Gurley is their draft pick who is coming off of a major injury so who knows how
his season is going to go and they don’t have one halfway decent receiver (this
includes tight ends) on the entire squad!! The defense is just as unimpressive
so honestly this 8-8 record I am predicting is being very nice judging from
this roster I just took a look at.
San Francisco 49ers (5-11)
It’s really hard to
sit here and say I have faith the 49ers are going to be anything but straight
up garbage this season. The entire team has done a complete 180 from last
season, starting with the coach and all the way down to the majority of their
defensive leaders. Also, lost some key pieces on offense. The new coach Jim
Tomsula is a complete and utter buffoon in interviews so he should give us some
good material to laugh at during the post game press conferences! Very breathy,
awkward and doesn’t make a whole lotta sense….I’m looking forward to that mess!
Colin Kaepernick struggled last year and I don’t see any drastic improvement
now that Harbaugh is gone along with the loss of some of his weapons on
offense. The 49ers have a long way to go to catch up in this division.
AFC West
Denver Broncos (10-6)
I feel like last year
was the year the Broncos window of opportunity to win a Super Bowl in the Peyton
Manning era closed. They have a new coach, Gary Kubiak who wasn’t anything
great when he coached the Texans so I’m not sure what kind of an improvement
this is? Peyton Manning is only getting older, yes he is still a great
quarterback and I believe he can still have a great regular season, but
anything beyond is a reach. The injuries are taking a toll and extending the
season through the playoffs will be tough for the Broncos. The defensive side
of the ball is what needs to carry this team. They are strong, fast and
dominant when they want to be. But like I said new coach, new system, so we’ll
see what happens with this defense. The Broncos should be a competitive team
this season, but like I said before this window has closed.
Kansas City Chiefs (10-6)
The Chiefs were
another team last year that started to build a solid foundation. On offense
they are led with their running back Jamaal Charles, one of the most consistent
running backs in the league over the years. Alex Smith knows how to manage a
game without making a ton of mistakes and he will finally have a halfway decent
receiver to pass the ball to with the offseason pickup of Jeremy Maclin. On the
defensive side of the ball is where this team is going to get ya! Justin
Houston has been one of the top defensive linemen since he was drafted, doesn’t
get a lot of hype either, doesn’t look like he needs it though because he’s
still getting paid like the best in the league! Eric Berry is coming back from
his cancer treatments and it’s obvious what a difference he made with the
defense once he was lost for the rest of last season. The Chiefs should be one
of the more competitive teams this season and I wouldn’t be surprised if they
ended up winning their division. I just couldn’t pick them because Andy fat
fuck Reid is their coach and I know he’s going to end up eating everyone’s food
at some point and that will have an effect on the outcome of some games since
the players will be starving!
Oakland Raiders (8-8)
It’s the best time of
the year to be a Raiders fan! Right now hopes are high (so are they), the talk
is loud and the Raiders are going to the Super Bowl!! Well at least to every
Raiders fan they are! The most diluted fans in the league right now got their
team winning it all no matter what is going on with this team! The rest of us
with brains all know better. I’ll admit the Raiders won’t be complete garbage
this season, but they won’t be a playoff team. There is still a ton of work to
do with this team, but they should be able to throw a couple upsets along the
way.
San Diego Chargers (4-12)
It doesn’t matter if
the Chargers stay in San Diego or move to Los Angeles….they’re still going to
suck!!
