Steelers
OFFENSE (Skills): We're fucking awesome. Receivers: Hines Ward, Santonio Holmes, Limas Sweed, Heath Miller. RBs: Willie Parker and Rashard Mendenhall. QB: Big Ben
OFFENSE (Line): Scares the shit out of me. One injury and our season is over. We did nothing to replace Faneca. Hope the younger guys are finally bred.
DEFENSE: I hope our linebacking core can get better now that Lamar Woodley and Lawrence Timmons have a year under their belt. I like our Safeties and backups. Our DBacks will be good if McFadden comes to play. Ike is the man. Our D line got real shitty after Aaron Smith got hurt...we gotta stay healthy.
Okay there's my rant for the next month.

The O-lines play last year was a product of the system, not because they are good individual players. Our OT's are garbage and Gallery is a penalty machine. Kwame Harris is no upgrade over Sims and we are still shaky at center. Im not confident they can protect Russell against some of the better pass rushing teams. Lets just hope they can run block as good or better than last year to take some pressure off JR.
our d-line should be as good or better then last year after losing 2 starters AND a execlent depth guy (we lost 16 sack in three players)....but this is a bold prediciton...kvb will be NEAR the leader of sacks this year....haynesworth will be near the leader of sacks for DT....
i expect us to go 9-7 or 10-6 and compething for one of the last playoff spots...(the afc south is still the best divison in football)
concerns are: wr of course...we did hardly anything to improve this area except justin mccarines (who did well under dinger as a titan).....and lavelle hawkins (who is lookking good out there)
alge crumpler if healthy will get the bulk of titans receptions

I'm always optimistic about my squad(Redskins)! Don't really know to be honest, this is the 1st year in the Snyder era that we haven't made a splash in the free agent market(MAYBE a positive) BUT with a new coach are chances aren't that great...... I like the draft picks we aquired thru the draft and our team for last season is still intact but everyone in our division as well has stepped it up big time compared to us. We'll see how the season goes!
The Colts...got 2 win it all or else its going to be a failure....I think that the Chargers will be their main competition as I see the Patriots taking a step backwards this year...I expect the Colts ground game to be at the top of the league and their defence to improve even more.....The main concerns I have for the Colts is their depth at certain positions...we've lost a lot of backups and I can see some of our "star" players entering their twilight years...Football is a physical game and the Colts offense really lays it all on the line. With that being said, it could be a great season and I expect big things.
as far as concerns are with the cowboys, i'm concerned about the lack of depth at the wide receiver position. other than terrell owens, there's not much. if terry glenn is healthy, then i'm not worried. but as of now, i don't trust patrick crayton as the cowboys #2 receiver. i don't understand all the bullshit the cowboys coaches are saying about him having the best hands on the team. plus, the younger receivers like sam hurd, miles austin and isaiah stanback should step up soon if terry glenn won't be able to play.
as far as expectations go, i don't see the cowboys' offense missing a beat. if anything, they should be better because tony romo has new weapons with rookie rbs felix jones who finally gives the cowboys a homerun threat, and tashard choice, an underrated player who i think was a steal for the cowboys. he's a good back in between the tackles, and he should provide adequate depth behind marion barber. rookie tight end martellus bennett from texas a&m is a pretty good receiver, and will help the cowboys as soon as he polishes his blocking skills.
on defense, i think defensive end chris canty is a player who could have a breakout year, after having a solid season last year. tank johnson says he's more comfortable and finally has a grasp of the defense, so he should provide nice depth at nose tackle behind jeremiah ratliff. with zach thomas coming to the cowboys, i expect to see him to get his teammates in position to make plays. with demarcus ware, greg ellis, and anhony spencer providing a pass rush, i could see the newly upgraded and finally healthy secondary taking advantage of this.

If my Bears stay healthy on Defense, I expect the Beard to be 11-5 and be in the mix for the NFC North title. I think G. Olsen has a big year, I also expect C.Williams and M.Forte to give the Bears a boost on offense. I think Boker plays better than Mohammad did at any point in his Chicago career, and Hester replaces Berrian as the deep threat. Orton will be our qb, but if Sexy Rexy is, we go 19-0, Grossman gets MVP, a perfect passer rating and the Bears win the SuperBowl by forfeit because the Patriots don't show up because Brady is too scared to duel with Sexy Rexy in a SuperBowl. "You gotta unleash the dragon!!!!!!!!"
A single game 4 years ago? Very convincing.
I'm hoping he can be a threat at WR, to help keep the defense honest and help the rest of the offense, but he's been injured, come off major surgery, quit on his team after one game, seen a close friend shot and die in his arms...it's all tough to recover from.
