Who will win the next Super Bowl

[JIMIKURTJIMMY]

I know its early but I can't resist...Who do you think will win Super Bowl XXXX

I know its finally gonna be the Philadelphia Eagles year

[Illmatic]

Even though their two most important offensive players are holding out, right?

Hah.

Until someone beats the Pats, it's them.

[JIMIKURTJIMMY]

T.O.'s bluffing, he just wants to see if he can get more money. Hell will freeze over before he leaves when they're this close to winning it all.

[Illmatic]

If TO didn't want to leave, he wouldn't rip into McNabb the way he ripped into Garcia when he wanted out of San Fran.

Facts are facts: When you gamble on a headcase, it's a race against time to win until they flame out and start becoming a detriment to the team (like Sam Cassell and Latrell Sprewell in Minnesota)

[JIMIKURTJIMMY]

Where else would T.O. wanna be: The steelers or Pats won't take him, everyone in Philly worships him and The Eagles are a great team

[BassVirtuoso]

I hope the Eagles, how much more can they possibly lose?

[CombatRock]

How bout' dem' Cowboys baby!

[Bushkrieg]

The San Diego crunchers baby! :thumb:

[Black Ink]

As far as I've seen, the Eagles are the only team in the NFC East that haven't improved. I don't think they'll make the Conference Championship.

Pittsburg is going to be hungry next year, they're the only team I think that could give the Pats a run for their money, but I don't think eithert team will win the Super Bowl. One of them will be there though.

Winner is gonna be a team no one expects from the NFC.

[3074326]

Baltimore

They've improved on both sides of the ball, and that's impressive.

[The Stapler]

Steelers, because they're my favorite team :cool:

Ben should be even better than last year with a full year of experience, including playoff experience, under his belt. Even though the loss of Plax hurts, I truly think 4th rounder Fred Gibson can become a very reliable target for Ben. Plus he actually CATCHES balls. Heath Miller should help the passing game as well. The defense is intact from last year and with all of the young players gaining experience under Dick Lebeaus system, it could be even better than last years.

Besides, Cowher is 0-4 in AFC Championship games. He has to win eventually

[Master guitarist123]

eagles!

[Illmatic]

How should I know?

The man is a natural douchebag. I think it's a chemical imbalance.

Baltimore

They've improved on both sides of the ball, and that's impressive.

They're going to have to clinch Home Field Advantage to even have a shot at winning the AFC--you never want Kyle Boller to have to win you playoff games in the road. Can you imagine the Ravens having to go into Foxboro to beat the Pats? That would get ugly. Hell, we stomped the Ravens at home this season, and that was without Deion Branch.

Hmm, looks like someone didn't watch Gibson in college :-\

[Reaganista]

Hah.

Donovan McNabb isn't holding out.

[Illmatic]

I meant TO and Westbrook, and I meant to say two of their three most important offensive players.

[Against Miik!]

Even if T.O. is bluffing, he's creating problems in the locker room.

If Boller can have a slightly better than decent year, the Ravens will be one of the best teams in the NFL. That's a big if, and I'm not putting any bets down.

But if Boller can pull it together, Baltimore has what it takes.

The Pats will be tough again. I don't see many teams giving them a run this year.

[Reaganista]

I'm not worried about Westbrook for the upcoming season. He's required to sign with the Eagles by June 15 and he'll be looking to have a huge year so he can cash in on free agency.

[MattSharpIsCool]

The Raiders......just kidding.

I'll take the easy pick and say the Pats or Steelers. I dont really see anyone else with a real solid chance.

[Illmatic]

But if Boller can pull it together, Baltimore has what it takes.

But they'll have to clinch HFA to have a shot, because when it comes down to it, shaky quarterbacks bomb in the playoffs on the road.

[3074326]

Boller isn't the only part of that team. They have one of the best power backs in the game, one of the best defenses in the game, and some great receivers. Even if Boller has an average year throwing the ball, the Ravens will be tough. Tough enough to win a championship.

Once again though, I'm not putting any money on Boller.

I don't think Pittsburgh will be as good as they were last year. They were losing steam at the end of the year. Barely won a few weeks in a row..

[ThePatient]

Baltimore

Any references to the teams from the last few years are irrelevant. This team has a chance to produce offense. I have faith in Boller that he can do what it takes to step up and play. If Lewis, Ogden, and Heap don't all get hurt at the same time again this year, we'll be ok. I think the release of Boulware could come back to haunt them though. If Cody doesn't play well, his clinical depression could prove to be a huge problem.

[Illmatic]

Well, yeah, the Ravens obviously have a good enough team to power their way through the regular season, but the postseason's a different story. What if they go up against a team that can neutralize Jamal Lewis and force Kyle Boller to win the game for them? He obviously can't do that. That's why guys like Brady, Favre, Elway, Starr, Montana, Bradshaw, and Staubach have multiple Super Bowl rings. They can take over a game if need be. Boller can not.

Their defense can make plays for them, and massively help out their offense.

Sure if they get behind by 14+ points in a game, then they're screwed. But if their defense can keep the scores close then they can win any game.

They said Elway couldn't win a big game too.

You have to have a team around you to use to be able to win a game. You could the best QB on the field with 3rd string talent, and he's not going to get very far. But if you can balance out that talent, you'll have a much better shot.

[Illmatic]

Elway, however, was still a much, much better quarterback than Boller.

Elway to his credit single-handedly took the Broncos to the Super Bowl three times in the 80's. Elway, unlike Boller, proved that he could at least win games on his own.

[paco999]

Go Seelers my fvt of course


PS: To the thread starter "XXXX" is incorrect its written as "XL". Nothing personal good thread tho :thumb:.

[ThePatient]

Elway proved it over a 16 year span. You're writing him off after 2 seasons, one and a half considering injuries, and a lackluster supporting cast.

Vikings \m/

[Illmatic]

Elway was better to begin with. He was a better prospect in college. Kyle Boller is not a great or even a very good NFL quarterback, and had no business being a first round pick. He will most likely turn out to be a serviceable quarterback, but one that will need lots of help to win.

[Bushkrieg]

How 'bout no, baby! (http://www.chargers.com/team/coachbio_schottenheimer.cfm)[/QUOTE]

its called a joke jerky. I'm a cowboys fan.

[rjf385]

eagles without a doubt.

[G00b3r]

i dont think pats will have a chance, they're losing both their off. and def. coordinator. my top 3 picks for the afc are the chiefs, colts, or steelers. chiefs are my hometown and fav. team. hopefully they can get something done with the boosted defense. my top 3 picks for the nfc would be the eagles, seahawks, or the rams. those are the only teams in the nfc that i see that have potential. the falcons recievers are just rediculous and mike vick cant do it all himself. i think the eagles and seahawks will duke it out in the championship. i cant really choose who would win tho, but for sure i would choose one of those teams to go.

[Illmatic]

Are you KIDDING me?

You do know that Bill Belichick held quite a bit of influence over Weis and Crennel, right? And that Weis's and Crennel's replacements are in-house guys who take after them, right? And that just about every meaningful starter from the defending Super Bowl is returning? And that Peyton Manning is their bitch? And that the Chiefs are far from a top 3 team in the AFC?

Actually, you know what? Keep on truckin'. Y'all didn't respect us last year, and if you didn't learn your lesson, that's a-okay with me.

[Illmatic]

Hah, you quoted the one I used to diss the Chargers.

But my point is this: Watching Drew Bledsoe will make you die a little inside.

God won't it. I've been a pats fan forever and my mom's family lives in Rochester, NY so they follow the Bills...

Pats all the way, they're on a hell of a roll and I see no reason why it should stop, they're solid as a team instead of a leader and a bunch of lackeys.

[MadSeasonAbove]

Steel town baby!

[3074326]

Yeah, the Patriots only have one of the best teams of all time, and arguably the best coach of all time. Count them out!

They lost their coordinators, but they still have their team. And Belichick. Brushii might be gone, but they signed Chad Brown. They lost Branch, but they still have one of the best offensive lines in the game, one of the best running backs in the game, and one of the best QB's in the game.

Their secondary isn't too bad either...

They don't have a chance in hell.

To the best of my knowledge, Branch is still on the team.

[3074326]

Yeah, I checked the roster and he was on there, but I could've sworn that he was released..

I know the roster is updated because Chad Brown was on the roster. Maybe they worked something out, and it wasn't publicized at all.

aye yi yi... new yorkers...

I agree with half the other people in this thread, it's going to be the Ravens this year. They've improved all aspects of their game and they can win it all.

And to the guy who said that cowboys... :lol:

[ThePatient]

Leave the 'Boys alone. :upset:

[Simple Man]

I agree with Chris, The Ravens have improved on both sides of the ball and getting a wide reciever like Mason will help out Boller alot.

[Joe]

Leave the 'Boys alone. :upset:

Wait... you live around me. You're a Cowboys fan?! :upset:

[ThePatient]

I love the Cowboys. I used to go with my dad to playoff and Super Bowl parties when I was little, and since they were always there, I liked them. But don't worry, the Ravens will always be #1.

[TheDMV]

I live so close to Philly, I have to say the Eagles. I'm ridiculously into that team. I don't want ot say that this is "their year" because that's cliche, and it's probably a jynx.

Go Eagles!

[radianteclipse]

Well, as long as the Pats keep holding together to core of their magnificent team, they are always going to be Super Bowl favorites. I could honestly see them doing it again, and although I am not a Pats fan by any means, I respect them immensly. It's not like the Yankees where they have loads more money than any other team to get exactly what they want and buy championships. They earned it with the same salary cap as every other team, and they did it working as a team, something that in this day and age of selfishness is almost unheard of. The Patriots, as long as they continue to do what they are doing, they will continue to win more championships.

[Red Stripe]

San Diego
they need a kicker, unless kaeding got better

[Illmatic]

Kaeding is a perfectly good kicker.

He shanked the FG against the Jets because he had to do it from 40 yards (thanks to Marty Schottenheimer's typically crappy playcalling) on bad field conditions.

He hit 20 of 25 field goals last season.

Leave it to a New Yorker to be an uninformed moron.

if boller does bad this season, he should seriously consider a career change. Mark Clayton and Mason should be enough as for weapons go.

[3074326]

He'll play for the Eagles.

[NS_Joker]

dolphins. i say it every year and this year is no different. i don't actually think they will win but meh. i love nick saban and i really think he's gonna turn this team around and give them an 8-8 or 9-7 season.
