NFL- Eating Crow Thread

[100027]

Alright all,

With the season almost over, it's a good time to stop pointing out each other's bad predictions and own up to our own that turned out to be horribly wrong.  What did you guess before/after preseason that you now regret?

For me:

-Tannehill would have a Blaine Gabbert-esque first season.

-Peyton/AP aren't quite the same after injuries, both struggle to stay healthy.

-Carolina/Bills as playoff contenders (I know this was a common mistake.  I don't blame it on Cam...  Panthers just don't have the talent yet.  Buffalo needs to fire their coach, though)

-Rivers shows last year was basically an aberration and returns to being a good QB.

After a couple weeks:

-AZ legit playoff contender because of their defense.

-Eli's first MVP season?

Let's hear it...  Anyone else willing to own up?

Thought the Eagles were Super Bowl contenders

I don't know what I said the Eagles would do, but it wasn't this. Absolutely pathetic. Mailed it in early.

guilty

i also downplayed russell wilson... wrong asa bit

 

[mpire]

Thought Adrian Peterson would never return to his original form.

P.S. NT owes the man in my avy a huge apology

 

[checks grossman]

Remember when Philly and AZ were 4-0?

Yeah,

they got me...

 

[do be doo]

thought the jets had a chance.

Still not wrong on the houston team. they wont win the a SB.

Will bump thread if they do. They wont tho.

Agreed, I definitely doubted Dez but no doubt he has shut a lot of people up this year. Dude is balling.

 

[Nike Still Sux]

I said the Rams would make it as a Wildcard in the playoffs.
I was damn close

 

[mmg]

thought the colts would be terrible.

dez bryant.

had the chiefs pushing for the division.

had the bills pushing for the division.

other than that i was pretty much right on

 

[mr marcus]

Mines was correct...patriots still an elite team

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Thought the Raiders would compete for the division to the end. Now I fully accept that it will be another couple of years (at least) until things get better.

 

[Trey Bantz]

-Tannehill would have a Blaine Gabbert-esque first season.

 

[cdonwashisname]

Just Andrew Luck, I thought he was gonna be terrible

 

[CJ616]

-I also thought that the Chiefs would compete for the west
-Thought Philly would compete in the NFC
-Thought CIncy would miss the playoffs
-Thought Blaine Gabbert would be a competent QB

Damn dude, talk about some bold predicting right there.

thats my team man...

but besides them I was telling folks here in NC all summer that the panthers were gonna struggle like hell this season

which they have but they've been looking decent lately tho

 

[nazdrowie]

all my **** talking aboot the Packers and vikings, ehh 

 

[651akathepaul]

My bold prediction was Seattle winning the NFC West. Still can happen.

 

[dmxfury]

I was right on with the AFCN and what I thought would happen.

However I did think SF was going to drop off to a 9-10 win season. Didn't think Sea would be any good. Definitely didn't see the Colts doing this. Also thought Philly would be a huge threat

 

[jthagreat]

Any rookie qb doin anything over 5 wins. i have no faith in rookie qbs and these dudes are Ballin

 

[AZwildcats]

Thought Russell Wilson was too short to be any good in the NFL
Thought the Titans would compete in the AFC South
Did not see the Eagles, Chiefs, Lions, and Giants all having the seasons they are having. Disappointing on all fronts

 

[hugebird]

I thought the Eagles would go 6-10 and they were even worse than I expected
