3. Here are four for San Francisco:
Edited on Mon Aug-31-09 05:55 PM by Auggie
Terry Donahue, GM from 2001-2005. The team is still reeling from his miserable draft choices and personnel decisions.

Mike Nolan, Head Coach from 2005 to 2008. Two words: Alex Smith.

Scott McCloughan, Director of Player Personnel 2005 to 2008, current GM: See above.

John York: Worst owner in football.

19. Here's more: No QB.
Insistence on running a 3-4 despite not having the personnel to be successful.

No pass rush.

Fifth offensive coordinator in 5 seasons.

Philly is going to be really good.

4. Ok, let's see.
A questionable secondary.
The 3rd toughest schedule in the NFL this year.
An aging O-line that doesn't protect Brady as well as they used to (though still better than many).
A lot of other good teams.

umm...

that's all I can think of.

5. I got this, Pats fans.
1. Brady's knee fine. Right arm held on with staples and rubber bands.
2. Moss exposed as leader of NFL's "bad eggs". Drummed out of league in disgrace.
3. Bruschi forced to come back for playoffs due to injuries to all Pat's LBs. Proves unable to play every down. Pats lose in first round in high scoring game.
4. Belichick says "Screw it!" Goes on tour with Bon Jovi as his guitar guy.
5. Hell freezes over. Belichick buys insulated hoodie.

8. I'll give it a try.
1.Jason Campbell
2.Clinton Portis has take too much punishment over the last 5 years to be reliable for 16 games.
3.Jim Zorn is in over his head.
4.The O-Line, particularly the RT spot, will continue to have problems.
5.They play in the NFL's most competitive division. I honestly believe they could go 10-6 in any other division, with the possible exception of the AFC South.

9. 1) No NFL team has ever played the Super Bowl on their home field...
...and Super Bowl XLIV is being played in Miami.

2) Sophomore slump for Coach Sparano.

3) New owners prowl the sidelines distracting players.

4) @#$% refs.

5) We lose on purpose so we can draft Tebow!!1! (drunken excuse)

10. Phin fan
Hardest schedule in the NFL
Second year in a 5 year rebuild---still hungover from Wannstedt.

Oh---and if we draft Tebow I'm becoming a Lions fan.

Fuck the Gators

16. That's funny. They wouldn't seriously draft Tebow...

Mark my words, he will be a bust of magnificent proportions...

I know it's bad, but as a life long lions fan, don't jump off the ledge yet, lol...


It's much worse over here. Although Stafford could be, finally, our franchise qb for more than a year...

Good coaches, finally, and they started to draft for size. Things are looking up for Detroit, but again, they're the Lions...

13. Cowboys fan
1) no depth
2) a "celebrity" quarterback
3) coaching
4) meddlesome owner
5) playing in the NFL's toughest division

But other than that, I'm optimistic and expect a play-off run.

23. That's easy
1- 5 years of Matt Millen

2- Charles Rogers, Roy Williams and Mike Williams. All wide receivers,1st round draft picks in the 90's. Only Roy Williams is still in the game. This was done in three successive years.

3- Joey Harrington. Our 1st round franchise QB.

4- We play Green Bay, Chicago and Minnesota twice.

5- Did I mention Matt Millen?
