The Homer Playoff Prediction ~


Cat Fanboy

Recommended Posts

LOTS of people on the Falcons bandwagon. IMO they are lucky to be in the show. Maybe it's just me, but I see the Cardinals as much better than their record - certainly good enough to beat the Falcons. Their loss to the Patriots reminded me eerily of our loss to Tampa. The loss does not define them.

Chargers have been playing out of their minds - but they just aren't good enough to get past the first round.

Ravens are scary now - next year they are going to be nasty evil.

Titans/Steelers - So many holes I have no idea how they got where they did.

Giants - 2nd best team out there.

Vikings - Jackson sucks. Stop AP and its game over.

Eagles - Get on em early and rattle McNabb and wipe em up with a Shambo towel.

Dolphins - Good balanced team...nothing to be scared of though.

This Week:

Cardinals stomp Atlanta. Ryan remembers he is a rookie and Warner remembers how to throw.

Eagles murder the Vikings. The world remembers Jackson sucks.

Colts squake by the Chargers.

Ravens hurt the Dolphins really bad.

Next Week:

Giants hurt the Eagles. McNabb to Chicago stories start again.

Panthers destroy the Cardinals.

Colts beat the Titans.

Ravens beat the Steelers.

Championship Time:

Panthers beat the Giants easily.

Colts beat the Ravens for one of the best games of the year.

Superbowl:

Panthers beats the other Manning finally in a close game.

I kinda like the idea of a Steelers v Panthers match. They are similar to us. A defense that can bite you at anytime while giving up big plays...a running game that is one missed tackle from a TD...even a QB with issues. Ben holds on to the ball too long and Jake is doing too much 'heave in the air near Smith'.

Which is 'OK' since as I read in another article "Smith couldn't be covered in a phone booth".

I just don't see Steelers winning the AFC. They will be lucky to get past their first game.

idk... the steelers i think match up well against us. they have probably the best defense since the 2000 ravens, and if anyone can stop dwill and stew its pitsburg. theyre pass defense is damn good too, and if they stop the run game, im not sure that jake can win it all by himself.

Agreed.

I can actually see them knocking Smith out of the game if Jake throws a floater, or into double coverage.

Besides, Panthers, like all teams I go for, tend to believe the hype about other teams. That's why the Giants had success running the ball, because the Panthers allowed it because people said they had a good one.

If people are loving the Steelers defense, the Steelers defense will win the game for the Steelers, because the Panthers will allow it to be successful because it's supposed to be.

I think the Falcons/Cards game is a tossup. Falcons pass defense is not good and they will need to get to warner a lot, or else Cards receivers will tear them up. But I don't think the Cards defense can stop the Falcons running game. Could end up being a relatively high scoring game.

But if I had to pick, it would be the Falcons. And the Vikes will beat an inconsistent philly team.

    • I think Morgan has had the right general idea. The problem has been in execution.    Bryce year 1, there were myriad issues from roster talent to coaching and scheme, but the offensive line was particularly glaring. So they went out and  fixed the o-line by signing Hunt and Lewis.  That fix actually seems to have been at least moderately successful.    Last year, pass rush was a major issue. So they invested along the defensive line and at edge. The problem is, they either expended too many resources over correcting—partially because in free agency, when you’re a shitty franchise, you have to overpay to get talent in the door—or they didn’t make the right picks. It’s probably too early to pass judgment on the free agent class or draft picks as it’s only been one game. So we’ve got a small sample size and rookie edges may take time to develop. But if game 1 is any indication, they didn’t solve the problem. 
    • This is getting out of hand again. I swear some of yall just look for reasons to call out the QB, in an extremely thinly vieled "OFFENSIVE CAP HIT" statement.  All of that is offensive line. It was an overreaction to how horrible the guards were in 2023, where guys were starting multiple games that will never take a snap in the NFL again. Speaking of 2023... where did the offensive cap rank then? Where are those WRs playing in the league now? How much are the WRs, TEs and RBs making compared to the rest of the NFL? We have two, 1st round WRs on the roster. And they are the only WRs on the roster picked before the 4th round. One shouldn't have been a first rounder, he's only in his second season, AND he was literally outplayed by an UDFA rookie WR last year - that is currently on IR. The other WR picked before the 4th round has only played one game as a pro.  QB play needs to improve. Absolutely no friggin doubt about that. But, come on. That dude has not been dealt a fair hand, no matter how many ways you try to spin it. Let's hope he figures out how to make chicken salad out of the chicken poo this team has served him his entire time here. Hoping that this org finds another Cam Newton is not really a realistic expectation. 
    • Put Young on any team and they would still have to run a limited scheme for him. Put any talent around him and they still have to carry him.  IDGAF if we trade him inside the NFCS next year. That is how little I fear ever playing him.
