NFL Football 2006-07 thread

Those of us who are not fans of European-style football tolerated the World Cup discussion this year. Are those FIFA fans so insecure as to attack the NFL so aggressively?

To the point, I like Indianapolis to finally shake off the playoff curse this season. I think that Joseph Addai will prove to be an adequate, but not necessarily equal to Edgerin James, which does not really matter because Indy likes the pass.

I suspect that Seattle will continue the streak of the Superbowl loser hangover, and I expect them to go perhaps as low as 9-7 this year, as I do not like their defense. I actually think that San Francisco might win the NFC West this year, but I still haven't taken any of their players for my fantasy team. I'm crazy, not stupid.

As for the toughest division in football, the NFC East, I like Washington to win the division and be out in the first round, as they will be bruised and battered after playing two games each against Dallas, New York and Philadelphia.

To answer the question: Yes, my Philadelphia Eagles will be better than they were last year, and I think they may take a Wild Card spot. The addition of Donte Stallworth gives speed and depth to their aching WR corps, they finally have a credible RB by committee approach with Westbrook, Buckhalter and Mahe in the backfield, and their defensive line has finally been overhauled to compliment the consistantly high-performing secondary. If they were in any other division, I would take them further into the playoffs.
