Football Is Back

I just thought that I would let everyone know in case they didn't already, that this Sunday will be the first game of the year in Canton, Ohio. It's my beloved Dallas Cowboys vs The Cincinnati Bengals. Now this isn't even a preseason game, it's being done for the Hall Of Fame as it is HOF weekend. There aren't any real stakes on the line, and there is no guarantee that most of the starters on either team will even play but that's not the point. The point is, that FOOTBALL IS BACK!!!! I don't know about all of you, but waiting for some NFL action has been painful to say the least. I'm not a huge basketball fan, I'm not a huge baseball fan, and whatever other sports are going on in between football seasons don't cut it for me. I love football and I am excited for this game. Next week will be the first preseason games as well, so everybody gear up, we are in for one hell of a season.
 
To make this easier to respond to I will pose some questions.

1. Are you very excited or looking forward to this NFL season now that it is about to start?

2. Who's your favorite team and player, and how do expect them to perform this season?

3. Who do you think is going to win their respective divisions(NFC/AFC north,south,east,west)?

4. Who do you think goes to the Superbowl this year based on improvements in the off season?

5.(realistically) Who do you want to win the Superbowl?

6. Of the rookie QB's this season who do you want to do the best, and who do you think will do the best?

I already told you in my OP how excited I am for the football season to finally be coming.

My favorite team is The Dallas Cowboys as I also stated previously. My favorite player is probably Tony Romo but I really really like this RB Felix Jones quite a bit too, and I am hoping that Dez Bryant makes me a fan of his.

Another player I am going to be keeping a close eye on is none other than Tim Tebow. I am hoping that he has a successful rookie year. For that matter I am hoping Colt McCoy, Sam Bradford, and Jimmy Clausen all have good rookie seasons too but Tebow is the one I want to see excel the most.

I will be expecting the Cowboys to win the division and the Superbowl this year. I think it's their time and so do the odds makers in Vegas who ranked them as the #3 pick to do it(not bad odds). We saw the Dallas defense improve dramatically last year after Wade Phillips took over the "D" and things were really starting to click for them. They've had the off season to get their routine down and if they've improved even in the slightest they should be going to the NFC championship at the least. Philadelphia hasn't improved much if at all over the off season, NY is in slow decline, Washington has got better players than last year but we don't know if they'll be able to get it together on the field. If we can't win out division this year than something is wrong.

As far as the AFC goes I have high hopes for the Bengals this year who I thought were a pretty legit contender last year. They've picked up a lot of talent and have a pretty solid roster when you look at the names, once again like with Washington though, we don't know if they'll be able to get it together and play as a team. With Dallas being my pick for the NFC, to me at least the AFC is a toss up. There are so many good teams there I can't pick just one. You always have the Colts and Peyton Manning, who knows if the Jets are going to repeat their success? The Patriots might be back too, you never know. The Steelers might surprise everyone again, that's a possibility, on and on the list goes and who is the best nobody knows(at least in the AFC, everyone knows the Cowboys own the NFC this year, LOL.)

Division picks.

AFC North - One of the toughest to decide, but I have to go with Cincinnati

AFC South - With the Colts in the fray you know they are always a threat but I think the Houston Texans are going to take this division.

AFC West - Probably the Chargers, but since Tim Tebow is with the Broncos I am hoping they have a good year.

AFC East - Buffalo is shit so forget them. We've got Miami, New England, and The Jets. I think Tom Brady is coming back this season to wreck shit so I have to take the Patriots.

NFC North - This is a pretty good division. A lot of folks I hear are predicting that the Bears will have a resurgent season and win the division, but I think Green Bay is going to be going back and forth with Minnesota now that Favre is going to play, and ultimately that Minnesota will probably win this division again.

NFC South - Tampa Bay and Carolina are probably out of the picture which leaves Atlanta and New Orleans. Atlanta has improved over the off season so they might be a serious force to watch out for. Still, the Saints are the Saints, the defending Superbowl Champions, and Drew Brees is awesome so Saints, enjoy one more division title.

NFC West - Arguably the weakest division in football. There's San Fran, St.Louis, Seattle, and of course Arizona. I really couldn't say who is going to do what in this division except suck really bad. The rest of the teams are crap and Arizona just lost Warner. Arizona has to be the pick here, but that's only if Matt Leinart doesn't yuck it up. Otherwise, screw it, I'll take St. Louis, they are due for a recovery.

NFC East - How Bout Them Cowboys!!!!!
