(2007 Thread) Which team will be the worst? (1 Viewer)

[flufhed]

Oakland will be the worst, but watch out for Tennessee. They will make a serious bid for next season's #1 pick.

You mean the team that went 8-8 and just missed the playoffs with a rookie QB and one of the youngest teams in the league? Ok...

In all fairness, they did lose their leading rusher, receiver, and best CB.

Henry's stats last year had alot more to do with Vince, and even more so with the OL coming together, than most think. Huge upgrade at center with Mawae (we Titans fans said "told ya so" ab out Hartwig, who after one year has already forced the Panthers to go C early in the draft) Roos in his second year. Stewart coming in to play RT. Pillar FINALLY being replaced full time by Bell. I expect the OL to be even better this year after having a year to gel. And Ahmad Hall was a beast as a blocking FB in his first year. Look at Henry two years ago - he was putrid. Henry really fit the bill last year, but can be replaced. I will admit downgrade there, but honestly think his production can be replaced.Bennett is a non-issue. The only people in love with Bennett are fantasy football players that had him during that magic Volek to Bennett four game stretch. Bennett was a decent down-field threat, but not fast enough to scare anybody. He was a nice big target, but without consistent enough hands to be considered a legit possession receiver. Pacman is a HUGE loss - no doubt about it. Harper helps a little bit, but is no Pacman. I do think the S play will be better this year with Thompson out of the lineup, and the pass ruch will be improved, which will help the whole defense. Look at it this way, the defense was ranked at 31 or 32 in almost every single category last year. It literally cannot be worse, and that terrible defense got us to 8-8.

Who do you have taking Lamont Thompsons place? Scott, Lowry, Fuller?

Whoever it is, it will be an upgrade.

You know Griff is playing CB, right?

I didn't know the depth charts had already been released.I don't expect Griffin to stay at CB.

Some of the rationale in this thread on playoff teams from 06 being the worst team in the league one year later is so beyond comprehension and so incredulous........does anyone think objectively anymore?When is the last time a playoff team was the worst team in the league in year N+1, where N denotes a playoff season.Think people.My money would be on one of three teams.1. Miami2. Atlanta3. MinnesotaAll three were bottom-10 teams last season and did little to get better in the offseason IMO.

This is why I think Oakland is going to be in the top 3 picks for the next... 2 or 3 years. I think they'll repeat as the worst this year. The addition of Michael Bush and JeMarcus Russell definitely helps. And their defense isn't horrible. But they still have a lot of holes to fill, and I don't think they have enough ammo to bounce back anytime soon. Russell and Co. need a year or two at least to learn the system, get accusomted to the NFL, etc. Will be a rough year for them.Other than that, I'd also say Miami, my Lions still, and a few others will be bottom dwellers...

Hey Sinrman, you don't think the Lions can pull out 6-7 wins this year? Detroit plays GB and Minny twice, and the offense should be improved with Calvin playing opposite Roy (I think RW has a huge season). If Kitna can stay in one piece, I think the Lydowns are good for at least 6 wins. Am I crazy here?

 

[ILUVBEER99]

KC

The only thing keeping them from being the first team to go winless in a season is that they get Oakland at home.

They will break the record for lowest points scored in a season, that offense is the biggest joke in football.

Houston

Oakland

Washington

Green Bay

Tampa Bay

St. Louis

Houston/Washington splitting for worst record in the league.

I will give you credit for refusing to toe the company line but the Ravens go from first to worst?

In all fairness, they did lose their leading rusher, receiver, and best CB.

Henry's stats last year had alot more to do with Vince, and even more so with the OL coming together, than most think. Huge upgrade at center with Mawae (we Titans fans said "told ya so" ab out Hartwig, who after one year has already forced the Panthers to go C early in the draft) Roos in his second year. Stewart coming in to play RT. Pillar FINALLY being replaced full time by Bell. I expect the OL to be even better this year after having a year to gel. And Ahmad Hall was a beast as a blocking FB in his first year. Look at Henry two years ago - he was putrid. Henry really fit the bill last year, but can be replaced. I will admit downgrade there, but honestly think his production can be replaced.Bennett is a non-issue. The only people in love with Bennett are fantasy football players that had him during that magic Volek to Bennett four game stretch. Bennett was a decent down-field threat, but not fast enough to scare anybody. He was a nice big target, but without consistent enough hands to be considered a legit possession receiver. Pacman is a HUGE loss - no doubt about it. Harper helps a little bit, but is no Pacman. I do think the S play will be better this year with Thompson out of the lineup, and the pass ruch will be improved, which will help the whole defense. Look at it this way, the defense was ranked at 31 or 32 in almost every single category last year. It literally cannot be worse, and that terrible defense got us to 8-8.

You know Griff is playing CB, right?

I didn't know the depth charts had already been released.I don't expect Griffin to stay at CB.

It isn't at all uncommon for the Titans to have safeties play at corner during camps, just to learn more about the position and how they'll have to support it when they take their position at safety. Griffin will take over at FS and we'll all gladly say goodbye to Lamont "Give up the Big Play" Thompson.

 

[The Kansas Comet]

I think Miami is a real good candidate here. Cameron seems like another Norv Turner to me, a good coordinator but not the right guy to be a head coach. QB is still a major headache - Culpepper? Lemon? Green? They made the right call in cutting the Ricky saga off before it could become a major issue, but they are still short on playmakers. The defense is getting older and Houck couldn't work any magic with the o-line last season, and I don't see any additions that would be a cause for excitement. And no more Olindo? If they don't win at least 3 of their first 6 games, they will waltz to the #1 pick.

 

[hutchins929]

Seattle finishing worst in their division!?!?!?

Either Seattle or Arizona will finish last. Arizona is young, up and comming... While Seattle will begin the rebuilding process, I believe.

Detroit second in the NFC North?!?!?!

Detroit is getting better. Green Bay needs to relize that Favre should go. Minnesota has a good O-Line and I think the can run the ball ok, but too many questions in the passing game.

St. Louis to the superbowl?

The Rams will be this seasons version of last years Saints. IMO

Come on....I know Steven Jackson is on your fantasy team....but put the kool-aid down.

No, I don't have Steven Jackson on my fantasy team.I think your panties are in a bunch, cause your #####ing pretty hard!

 

[Slingblade]

Lol at people thinking Bennett was the Titans most talented receiver.

 

[Reservoir Dog]

Lol at people thinking Bennett was the Titans most talented receiver.

I'm not sure how you define "talented", but he was definitely the most productive.Drew Bennett led the team in receptions (46), and receiving yardage (737).The next most productive WR was Bobby Wade (33-461-2).

[nygiants56]

the worst team in the NFL this season, will be the Cleveland Browns. Joe Thomas notwithstanding,that O-line is a mess, the QB situation,whether with Frye or Quinn, is a mess, and until either proves himself worthy as a starter,this offense will sputter. Jamal Lewis isn't any better than Droughns was, in fact, he might be worse. He leaves behind a relatively good line in Balt., for a swiss cheese-like line in Cleveland.

Winslow is good, and Edwards look promising, but he needs to take a quantum step forward this season.

might not be THE worst team, but Ny Giants will be close- the defense was terrible last year, and doesn't look that much better in 2007.

this team was listless towards the end of 2006, I think Coughlin has lost the respect of his players. Tiki retired,partly due to Coughlin remaining as HC..

Kevin Gilbride's offense will start off the season in good form,and quickly slow to a halt once the cold winds of November start blowing..you cannot play a chuck-n-duck offense in Giants Stadium , November thru January..you have to be able to run the ball effectively, but without Tiki, this will be a hard task to complete..

I wouldn't bank on the Giants winning more than 4 or 5 games in '07..they can't stop the run,can't stop the pass, and how is Eli going to handle all the added pressure of having to carry the team without Tiki Barber here to bail him out, and playing in NYC when the fans begin to turn on the team!? he should approach 20 ints in 2007..

Moving Kiwanuka to LB is a recipe for disaster..teams will always look to run at him...

 

[Domination]

1) Tampa Bay- they are an older team that hasn't done much to improve themselves this offseason.

2) Tennessee- they have done nothing to help that team and VY can't do it himself

3) Kansas City- LJ is great, but he can't help an OLD team that is still trying to add "pieces" to win now

I think that none of these teams have addressed the needs of their respective teams this offseason and will therefore suffer the consequences.

 

[Reservoir Dog]

I know Vince Young had an incredible finish to his rookie season, but he is severely lacking in surrounding talent. they lost Henry and their best WR. they also lost their best CB and punt returner.Young will probably need to be superhuman for that team to win more than 4 or 5 games.

Not to mention, Vince Young is the Madden coverboy.

I'll give you the QB situation, I'll even give you Lewis (though I think he's gonna surprise everyone), but I'd really like to hear your logic on the Offensive line being a mess. The only question mark is Joe Thomas because he's a rookie. But we have enough depth to sit him on the bench for the entire year and not miss a beat.I thought your Giants analysis was pretty good though.

 

[The Man With No Name]

Oakland will be the worst, but watch out for Tennessee. They will make a serious bid for next season's #1 pick.

Really?

 

[oddball]

I'm going to say the Miami Dolphins. No stable quarterback, aging and possibly disgruntled defense, bad o-line and mediocre skill players on offense, new coach, 2 good teams (Jets, Pats) and 1 mediocre team in division...I'm betting 3-13 for them.edit: and they have to play the NFC East, the most solid NFC division top to bottom

I'll chime in and pick the Giants. Eli is going to have a coronary trying to lead the team without Tiki. He does put up nice TD #'s, but the rest of his stat line blows. Peyton finally got rid of the "choke artist" moniker, but he didn't remove it from the family.

Here is the winner and the loser of this thread. I said it would be either Oakland or Washington. I didn't fair too well.

 

[Our Gang]

[oddball]

This thread is from the 2007 season. I bumped it because I like seeing what people thought before the season started. I'll start a new thread for this coming season.

 

[maxwelledison]

Chicago is my pick

Came in here to post just this. I would honestly not be shocked by a 3 win season. The perfect storm of poor drafting, questionable free agent decisions, overrated coaching and a deceptive Super Bowl appearance combine to sink this team for at least three years starting in 2008.Let's look at the scheduleColts - Loss@Panthers - Loss. John Fox is a fool but even he wins this one under early season pressure to succeed in Carolina.Bucs - Possible winEagles - Loss. Philly is just a solid organization even in down years. Bears in down years are the Lions.@Lions - Possible win@Falcons - Possible winVikings - Loss. I like the Queens to have a big year.Lions - Possible win.Titans - Loss. Lovie gets outcoached and VY makes a big play to win this one.@Packers - Loss@Rams - Loss@Vikings - LossJaguars - LossSaints - Possible winPackers - Possible win. Very doubtful but Lovie has a good record against the Pack.@Texans - LossThat is 6 possible wins and I really believe that is generous. I have no idea how this team is going to score points and I think the organization still holds a candle for Rex Grossman (I don't know if that aspect of it is more pathetic or creepy at this point). Weak.

I don't deny the possibility, but to act like it's a foregone conclusion that a team with 28 INT and 5 rushing TDs from last year is an automatic loss struck me as pretty odd.

The Giants were definitely a team that could have gone either way. Midway through the season, after the Vikings game, people were calling for Eli's head. They barely squeaked into the playoffs as a wildcard team.Their Super Bowl run is all that more shocking since there was a greater likelihood that they'd end up completely tanking as there was they'd be champs.

I know I predicted they'd be terrible. The thing I didn't count on was how much their rookies would contribute.

 

[bucksoh]

Seeing that they are my team and no one has said them yet, I put

the Steelers has being one of the worst teams. They did nothing to

improve the OL or there DL not to mention there DBs. Tomlin is not

a very good coach and it will show this year. Last years schedule was

a joke(look at Cleveland's record for Ex. They unfortuantely will be drafting

top 5 next year, at least I will be able to pick up their players relatively cheap.

If Tomlin had a clue he would have addressed the Special teams (fired the Coach) but

he doesn't also he would have addressed the OL more and DL.

That's a fair analysis. Care to comment on your Seattle prediction? They won the division for the fourth year in a row and got to the second round of the playoffs. I was pleasantly surprised with that because I thought the defense would totally cave with the loss of DT Marcus Tubbs before the season started.

I believe we will continue to see Seattle and St. Louis (they had to have been the most injured team in the NFL last year) do well because they are well run franchises whereas the 49ers and Cardinals are being continually run into the ground by their front office with little hope of recovery until they adopt a better overall philosophy. To me the NFC West is being won and lost by management well before the seasons starts.

Not sure what I was thinking with Seattle. If I remember right, I had serious doubts about the offense. I expected Hasslebeck to not bounce back, Alexander to continue to decline, and the receivers to give them nothing. I also thought their d-line would underachieve. More than that, though, I overestimated the rest of the division, especially the Cardinals and 49ers. Heck, I thought the Rams were going to the Super Bowl, so I whiffed on the whole division. I hated to predict bad things for the Seahawks since I've been a closet fan from the Steve Largent/Kenny Easly/Curt Warner days.

Right. St. Louis may have its own issues but the beloved are looking historically bad. Plus, that game is on the road.

The Bears still have a good defense, and it should be even better in '08 with a healthy Vasher, Brown and Urlacher. Plus Chicago still had Devin Hester. The Bears offense should be bottom 5 bad, but that doesn't mean Chicago can't be .500. And the running game, almost by default, will be better in '08.

[bcr8f]

I want to say Miami. The offensive line is shuffling a RT to LT, the QB is shaky and they just lost their safety valve TE.But I'm going to say the Packers. I don't think they're the worst team, but the schedule is brutal. They could be 1-5 before the bye and then have to go to Denver and to KC.First half of GB schedule:

Sep 9 Philadelphia 1:00pm Sep 16 @N.Y. Giants 1:00pm Sep 23 San Diego 1:00pm Sep 30 @Minnesota 1:00pm Oct 7 Chicago 8:15pm Oct 14 Washington 1:00pm Week 7 BYE Oct 29 @Denver 8:30pm Nov 4 @Kansas City 1:00pm

Put down the crack pipe and slowly step away. That looks like 6 wins to me. Anyone who says Detroit and Chicago will finish better than Green Bay has lost their way.I say Kansas City.

 

[Mik789fl]

I'll go out on a limb and say The Cowboys. TO,Tank,Pacman an immature QB and Wade in his second season,to me, add up to an implosion.

Sep 9 Philadelphia 1:00pm Sep 16 @N.Y. Giants 1:00pm Sep 23 San Diego 1:00pm Sep 30 @Minnesota 1:00pm Oct 7 Chicago 8:15pm Oct 14 Washington 1:00pm Week 7 BYE Oct 29 @Denver 8:30pm Nov 4 @Kansas City 1:00pm

Put down the crack pipe and slowly step away. That looks like 6 wins to me. Anyone who says Detroit and Chicago will finish better than Green Bay has lost their way.I say Kansas City.

Dude. That quote was from 2007. Seriously, someone needs to start a new thread.
