Gotta love that Seattle defense. Epic. Also I heard they were the least penalized team in pre season, even though the change in penalty calling was caused by Seattle! Talk about adjusting.

I'm not really sold on anyone in the NFC east. While I would be fairly surprised if Dallas wins it, it's pretty wide open to me...mostly because of ineptitude. And as I said...needed to shake up my picks. Can't go with the obvious all the time...and there usually is a good turnover with teams making the playoffs from year to year.

Also...I picked the Gmen to win last year and they started 0-6. Not jinxing them like that again.

Lynch is a beast, such speed, power and just doesn't stop. Freak. 
That said, I have long thought Green Bay covered up issues with the play of Rodgers and co. but Seattle are champs at exposing weaknesses. 

OK, I'll go with this for predictions:

NFC East:
Eagles
Giants (We got Eli, and that is better than RG3. I also think a better defense)
Skins
Cowboys

NFC North:
Packers 
Lions
Bears
Vikings

NFC South:
Saints
Falcons
Buccs
Panthers

NFC West:
Seattle
Niners (though I expect a lesser than usual year due to 3/4 of their defense being in jail/not sure if Kaepernick steps up)
Cardinals (good year for them, strong division)
Rams


AFC East:
Pats
Jets (I'll be bold, Geno improves and their front 7 is just sick)
Phins
Bills

AFC North:
Tough one...I see the big 3 as pretty equal, and all with many ?s this is just a guess really
Bengals
Steelers
Ravens
Browns 

AFC South:
Colts
Titans
Jags (Apparently Bortles is legit, unlike that over hyped Manziel)
Texans 

AFC West:
Broncos
Chargers
Chiefs 
Raiders

I think the Raiders may be looking OK, time to start the Carr! Who is replacing Schaub who replaced David Carr :O

Percy Harvin adds so much to that offense with his dynamic abilities.  And he's so FAST!

I don't think Manning will get injured, but he is always prone to the usual wonderful regular season, fall down/woeful performance in the playoff syndrome. But still...too much talent to bet against at the very least making it to the AFC championship game.

Surprised to see a prediction which claims the Texans will win the AFC South.

The G Men have gone 5-0 for the preseason.
Let's pray this doesn't result in 0-16 like when the Lions went undefeatedLOL

Aaaaand all we have learned is:
Eli and co will need some time to iron out the new offense
The O line is not looking terribly improved yet
"The JPP of Tight Ends" Adrien Robinson may be a bust

...All of which we knew already! 
Only nice thing is this Washington kid may be a good WR, which is always great. Especially since he's Hakeem Nicks-like

May real football begin soon gents!

That seems to be the common consensus, that it's been a "message" and will subdue once season starts. 
Least I hope! 
Despite a lot of crap in recent years, the NFL is still very enjoyable to watch but this indeed makes it unwatchable.

Maybe the players should stop committing penalties?

I haven't watched any preseason games though. I have no clue if penalties are up, or if they're just being caught/called more than before.

No, very much they are up. NFL has stated that they want to enforce defensive penalties more. Ya know, Seattle had that epic hard hitting defense that shut down the Denver offensive machine, and they can't have thatLOLCry
Just hope they tone it down.

I am not sure what is more horridly boring.....watching pre-season NFL or the NFL Pro-bowl??

Yea the Seattle fans are already in...heck here in my office people are wearing Hawks shirts on Friday's already...sheesh!

Hey, not complaining though as long as they can walk/walk and talk/talk.

This year has been more about the injuries even before first game. And the penalties thing...we are getting closer and closer to NFL becoming NFFL (National Flag Football League).
