Yeah I made this because I felt talking football and I misslead by that "other" thread lol. Tell us about your team.

Anyways I'm a big Jags fan, I like our chances this year, even without Leftwich. Our defence is looking stonger than ever, with our top pass rusher Reggie Heyward and our MLB Mike Peterson coming back from injures. We also hoping that our #1 draft pick Reggie Nelson can give us more playmaking ability in our secondary besides just Mathis. On offence we have the best trio of running backs in the league, Fred Taylor, MJD, and coming back from injury Greg Jones. As far as our QB David Garard, he's solid, mobile, but sometimes can make some really bone headed mistakes. Hopefully he can protect the ball better this year. We have a trio of big recievers, with Reggie Williams being the most physical, he is fearless and an excellent blocker. Ernest Wiford is MR dependable, has the best hands of the three and is a hard worker. Matt Jones is the wildcard, he is the slacker, he will drop an easy pass one play and make an amazing catch the next. We also added speed to wr core with Dennis Northcut, who seems to be making a new start and 7th round pick John Broussard. We lack a true number one reciever, but this is a run first team anyways. As for TEs we dependable pass catching George Whrister and have got back Mercades Lewis from injury who is also a good pass catcher. As for the O-line, our starting center Brad Meester is injured, we also signed Tony Pashos at RT Guard. Our O-Line is excellent at run blocking, but horrid at pass protection, hence the mobile QB.

Our team is physical and nasty, we play with a ball control style offence and if you give us a chance we will run the ball down your throat.

I am a big Giants fan.  I have been one for quite some time now.  Im hoping we can pull through and lead the nfc east and make it to the playoffs.  We took a blow with tiki leaving us but I think we can still have a strong running game.

And this season damnit pass the ball to Jeremy shockey.

Steelers fan. Out of all the problems last year (8-8 season), the only one that still worries me is the offensive line, which may or may not come together. The return game may be a problem as well, but I don't expect it to be the disaster it was last year. But Ben Roethlisberger has avoided near-death experiences, Santonio Holmes is flashing some greatness, the running back situation is looking good, and the pass-rush has been upgraded considerably. (Anyone who thinks that losing Joey Porter is a blow obviously did not watch Joey Porter play last season.)

Thankfully, we play five weak teams to start off the season, so there's essentially a second preseason to iron out any problems.

Panthers all the way for me. Yea i think we won't be that good because our QB is struggling really bad and he can't get the ball to Steve Smith aka the best WR in the NFL. Our defensive line is struggling eventhough J Peppers is a huge stud and should of had defensive player of the year. F off Jason Taylor you don't deserve it. In my opinion since Micheal Vick is out, Julius Peppers is easily one of the if not the most athletic Players in the NFL.
For the sake of the season after going 1-3 in the preseason is not good at all but i think we can get atleast 8 wins out of this no so hyped season, because last year we all know the Panthers were preseason picks to go the super bowl and yes they went 8-8 very disappointing.
GO PANTHERS.

Life long Vikings fan, and I am hoping the whole team goes out for a cruise before the season starts this week =P

Seriously though we have the Falcons for week 1 and I am hoping the whole scandal they have going right now will give us a nice edge. As for the team as a whole I am unsure where we stand right now, there were a lot of changes from last season so I am expecting a rough season.

PS - I still feel completely robbed from the '98 season....that was our year man...god damn Gary Anderson....

EAGLES FAN HERE. I don't know about the team this year. At least not until Mcnabb is healthy. Hoping for a good season without too many key injuries. But right now I'm scared because Sean Andrews injury isn't looking to good.

Everyone is hyping up the Pats this year and while right now they are the clear and away favorites. I personally don't think they're going to be able to "buy" there way to the bowl this year.

With that being said I don't know who from the AFC can stand up.

This has got to be the most even football season that I can remember on all fronts. There are no teams really in my mind that stick out head and shoulders above all teams in either conference. But I prefer not to have playoff or contendor conversations until midway through the season or at least after 5 games.

E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!

Season Predictions: This is in terms of whether I expect a team's play to improve, decline, or remain rouhgly the same. This doesn't necessarily correlate with record.

AFC East:

Buffalo Bills: Improvement. This is a tough call. I expect the offense to improve - Losman took big steps at QB last season, and Marshawn Lynch is a huge upgrade over Willis McGahee, who was packed off to Baltimore. But the Bills also lost a slew of starters, includng their best CB, Nate Clements, but they also picked up the second-best ILB of the draft in Paul Posluszny. Should be in the wild-card hunt.

Miami Dolphins: Now that the Saban/Culpepper Era is over, I expect Improvement from the Dolphins, but given the quality of their division I don't expect them to be able to get a playoff spot. Trent Green has obviously declined as a QB, but he can't be any worse than Culpepper was last season, and I actually consider John Beck, the rookie, to start at some point during the season. I'm not happy with how high they took Ted Ginn Jr., to me merely a less-versatile Antwaan Randle-El, but Welker's production needed to be replaced somewhere - Chris Chambers is terribly overrated and not to be depended upon. They overpaid for Joey Porter, but Jason Taylor's a star, and the defense overall is good, but not great.

New England Patriots: Same. The Pats were the most active team this offseason, so it may seem strange that I don't expect any major improvement. The slew of new receivers, most notably Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth, and Wes Welker, probably won't make a huge difference. Tom Brady's passing noticeably declined last season, but not as much as expected given the scrubs he was throwing to. He's going to be good no matter who the receivers are. Adalius Thomas, for similar reasons, isn't going to make a huge impact because his role - a veratile utility-player - isn't unique in New England, which has built a dynasty out of such players. he's just another cog in the machine, But losing superstar DE Richard Seymour (the one for at least six games will hurt. Still, they're the favorites to win this division.

New York Jets: Same/Decline. Inertia is the byword for the Jets this year. They didn't make any noticeable improvements (as a Pitt alumnus, I can tell you that rookie CB Darelle Revis is not the star they think he is, and their atrocious run D is the main problem anyway). Jonathan Vilma is the standout of a below average defense, but if Chad Pennington can stay healthy, the above-average offense will keep them in games. This team played above its level of talent last season, so regression to the mean may catch up to them, especially given that they have a theoretically tougher schedule this year. That and the forecasted improvemnts of two divisional rivals means that they'll have a tough time returning to the playoffs.

AFC North:

Baltimore Ravens: Same/Decline. They did little to offset their offensive anemia from last season. As mentioned above, McGahee is not an impressive back, and will struggle behind the questionable Ravens OL. They actually do have an impressive receiving corps in Clayton, Mason, and Heap, but they're reliant upon Steve McNair, the 34-year old "Captain Checkdown" who managed only 6.5 YPA despite the targets available. McNair, though clearly on the down-slope of his career, is a hefty upgrade over either Boller or Troy Smith, however, and has had a knack for slicing apart the Steelers ever since he was a Houston Oiler. The defense should be as stout as ever (Haloti Ngata in particular is a beast), but the departure of ulitity-man Thomas and Samari Rolle's decline last season may mean a slight step downwards. Should be either division-champion or a wild-card team.

Cincinatti Bengals: Same. The most consistently over-hyped team in the NFL apart from the Arizona Cardinals (the Bengals have 8-8 for 3 of the last 4 season, for crying out loud) didn't make any improvements, and had one key loss. The passing offense is the best in the division, with QB Carson Palmer throwig to Chad Johnson and TJ Houshmanzadeh. However, the third member of their talented WR trio, is out for the first 8 games of the season, and starting RB Rudi Johnson is average at best (backup Kewnny Irons is probably better). One of the two best O-linemen departed (Eric Steinbach), but the other remains (Levi Jones). LB Odell Thurman is suspended for the season, and their marquee addition to the porous defense is CB Leon Hall, who got burned in college every time he faced a quality receiver. The team did make a few below-the-radar FA acquisitions, and dumped safety Kevan Kaesviharn, so the defense should be no worse than last year.

Cleveland Browns: Same/Improvement. Let's start out with the good: OT Joe Thomas is worth the #3 pick they spent on him, and should provide some badly-needed strength on the line along with new acquisition Eric Steinbach. And - that's about it. I was unimpressed with this year's QB draft class - neither JaMarcus Russell and Brady Quinn would have gone as high as they did in a normal year, and may have been second-rounders. Quinn won't be a star, bt they're starting Charlie Frye, who is far worse. They picked up old, slow, and lame Jamal Lewis to be their RB, which symbolizes the offensive ineptitude this team will have to struggle through. When Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow are legitimate team leaders, you know you're in trouble. The defense is inconsistent, but capable of putting together tough performances. Orpheus Roye and Kamerion Wimbley are the only true threats on that side of the ball, but neither is skilled at run-stuffing, which should be a key weakness again. Overall they should do slightly better for a few reasons: Quinn, who will be the eventualy starter, is at least average, and the OL is definitely improved. Nothing else inspires confidence. It's going to be a long season again.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Improvement. Out of all the trouble spots last year, only two still worry me: the offensive line and the return game. Both may still come together, as Willie Colon is a definite improvement over Max Starks, and Kendall Simmons has been playing better in practice and preseason this year. Rossum, an Atlanta safety, was brought in to provide depth at return, where Willie Reid has been having trouble. If Ben Roethlisberger again sustains three debilitating injuries in the space of five months, the offense may be in trouble again, but I doubt that will happen. The emergence of Santonio Holmes as a depp threat will help enormously. The pass rush will be improved thanks to James Harrison, LaMarr Woodley, and (eventually) Lawrence Timmons, who may be moved to the inside. Your pass coverage is only as good as your pass rush, so the improvement there should make life easier for the secondary: Ike Taylor struggled last season, and Troy Polamalu played much of the early season injured. The run defense should be its usual stingy self, matched by a potentl running attack, where two promising new guys, Gary Russell and Carey Davis, have been added to the roster behind Willie Parker. This team played below its talent level last year, and should compete with Baltimore for the division title - the loser gets a wild-card spot. The O-line depth will still be a priority next year, when Alan Faneca leaves. 

How about them Cowboys?!

I actually have no clear cut favorite but have many preferred teams. Cowboys being the main. I like Tony Romo and TO's matchup together. And Julius Jones and Marion Barber are great switch offs, the only other in the league matching is probably Reggie Bush and Deuce McCallister.

I also prefer the Chiefs (going to suck this year, terrible QB and defence) and Falcons (also going to suck, new QB and they lost their number 1 weapon in Michael Vick).

We'll see though, BTW is anyone doing fantasy football this year? Im in two leagues on Yahoo sports with semi-Good rosters :D I love football

No I couldn't get any friends together to do Yahoo fantasy and I totally forgot about ESPN's fantasy league. I so wish I was in one right now =(. I love football also =D
