I'd like to open the thread by wishing a happy father's day to all of the dads here on the board!:cool:
Enjoy your day of appreciation!:beer:
It appears that there hasn't been much activity on the board in the last few days, so I figured we could have a fun prediction thread for next season.
Here's my prediction
AFC West
Kansas City 9-7(I think they win the division by default because the rest of the division is some sort of rebuilding mode. Yes, I think San Diego is re-tooling and their window of opportunity to contend for a title is close to closing. I don't see them running over the rest of the division like some of the "analysts" think.)
Denver 7-9(I really want to put an asterisk by our record because I think our season will be dictated by when the lockout ends. If we miss games this season, I don't see us winning more than a couple of games, but if we have a full training camp and pre-season, I think we'll be better than what people think. We now have two edge rushers on D, Bailey's return along with Moore joining him in the backfield, Ayers will move back to his natural position and our overall coaching for the defense will be better. Team that up with a more consistent running game and regardless of who the QB is, I think we'll win a few more games than last year.)
San Diego 7-9(I think they're pretty overrated. They're probably going to lose a few key players(ex. Sproles) and most importantly, they lost their DC. We know first hand how drastically a defense can change without a good DC. We went from 7th in 09 with Nolan to last with Martindale last season with nearly the same roster on D. I think an inconsistent running game with San Diego's D taking a step back will hurt them this season.)
Oakland 6-10(I'm surprised that so many people think that they're going to kick ass this year. How so? New coaching staff, 29 FA'S that they need to re-sign and a more competitive division. I don't see them winning a whole lot next year.)
