Predict your conference champion and superbowl winner

[rmilia1]

I think you obviously are going to see Pitt vs NE in the AFC although the Chargers are a wild card. NFC there are 7 good teams so in the playoffs you look at QaB and experience which eliminates Rams, Vikes, Eagles. Carolina is doing it with smoke and mirrors at this point so I'll say NO vs Atlanta in the NFC.

NE vs Atlanta SB

Russell Wilson for MVP? He's not even the best MVP candidate in his conference.

Oh, I think he is firmly cemented in an argument for 3rd right now

Brady
Wentz
Keenum/Wilson tossup

Thats my take right now

But we all know Aaron Rodgers should be the NFC MVP and Deshean Watson the AFC MVP

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

The guy we drafted this year, Joshua Dobbs, he looked okay in preseason, but I'm still not sold that he's the guy yet.

He's not

Skinny Frail, and not even a great college QB

He's not any more skinny or frail than some other QBs. Mister Biscuits is 6'3 222 and Dobbs is 6'3 216. Marcus Mariota is 6'4 222. So IDK if the skinny/frail argument works. He set UT records for rushing yards and rushing TDs by a QB, 5th in school history in wins and passing yards, 2nd in total yardage behind Peyton, 1 of only 4 SEC QBs in history to have 50 passing TDs and 25 rushing TDs. He had 1 decent year and 1 really good year in college. He's still got a lot of work to do on the pro level though.

Wilson accounts for 85% of his team's offense. That's 20% higher than the next closest QB. Of course he is in the discussion for MVP. But, fuck the MVP. Who cares? It's not like the MVPs in baseball. In the NFL, most fans can't even remember who won last year. It's a window dressing award. Go find the QB with the highest rating on a team that won 10+ games. Odds are he will be the MVP. Fuck it.

Depends how you look at Marriotta and Brissett....Brisset has proven nothing other than he could lose every week, and Marriotta has been made of glass his entire career, missing games, being banged up, etc.

I think you're sleeping on Baltimore. I don't want them to get the 6 seed.

But look at the Titans right now. Titans have a decent QB with a decent supporting cast and they are challenging for the division title for the 2nd straight year. After losing Ben, I would be surprised if we are challenging for a division title 2 years afterwards, especially with my thought process of Bell being gone after this year and Brown soon to follow.

Thats more a product of the division they are in....The Texans and Colts are 2 of the worst teams in the NFL, and the Jags are still led by Blake Bortles

The Titans are decent, you and I know they are zero threat come January

Had Watson not gotten hurt, I think we're looking at that division in a different way. That defense is carrying that Jags team too. Blake has 1-2 good games, but it's that defense that have them at 7-4. The Titans aren't a great team and unless they host a team like the Jags or Bills in the playoffs, they likely won't win, but if Dobbs can learn behind Ben for another 1-2 years, he might get the mentality for the starter spot. IDK. I'm not very optimistic for a future without Ben.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

I agree, I see Philly making a big statement there

Russell Wilson should get serious MVP consideration

Do you know that Seattle doesnt have a 250 rusher this season?

Thats just sick

Consideration yes, actual award not in my opionion.
Gets back to is the award for league MVP or player that was most valuable to his team?
RW isn't leading any categories if I recall correctly? Maybe rushing yards for a QB? He has 8 INTs last I checked and a few fumbles. Those are two categories I put a lot of stock in, taking care of the ball.

The lack of production from the RB position is bothersome. But we all know the Oline is terrible and none of the RBs have been on the field long enough to get anything going.

Browns, Niners, Giants, Broncos and Bears disagree

Thats why Watson and Rodgers should be 1-2 in the MVP race

Depends how you view the MVP

I look at it in a way where "What does this team do without this guy"

And for me, Seattle can really be a 4-12 type team without Wilson

 

[Yo Tee]

If it's Most Valuable Player to their team, definitely.

Love their D. Hate their O. They're like Carolina with Downs Syndrome

 

[flyingelvis]

So basically you need guys to get hurt to measure their value to the team? Or does Russell Wilson enter the picture because you hypothetically see Seattle as a 4-12 team without him?

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

NFC: Eagles over Panthers

AFC, it doesn't even matter

SB: Eagles

 

[Hank Kingsley]

AFC - Patriots over Steelers
NFC - Saints over Eagles (come-from-behind win on the road)

Superbowl - Patriots over Saints

This.

 

[Gooch1034]

Steelers will lose @ Cincy next Monday
