Here's a thread that perhaps we can resurrect at the end of 2003. What football predictions are you willing to go on the record about? No matter how risky or safe they are -- for example, Palmer takes over from Kitna and throws up 18 TDs. That sort of thing.
Here's a few I think will happen:
1) St. Louis will be back in the playoffs, but is stiffled by TB in the second round. Warner will return to the 30 TD plateau. Faulk will get 1200 rushing yards, 800 receiving yards, and 16 TDs total. Bruce and Holt have better than their average seasons, both having over 1300 yards and 8+ TDs.
2) Holmes will be fine starting the season, but will get dinged up throughout the season, and Johnson takes over admirably.
3) "Fragile" Taylor continues his streak of being healthy "every other year" which basically means this year will be a bust.
4) D Jackson will outscore K Robinson.
5) Hasslebeck will do decent, but will get banged up, and give way to Dilfer.
6) Harrington and Carr, the top two rookie QBs last season, will both continue to improve. Both will approach 20 TDs in 2003.
7) Gannon and Co. will do well in 2003, but not quite as well as least season. Brown continues to be phased out of the offense, and we continue to see the rise of Porter, who will get 10 TDs.
8) Price will struggle early on in the season, as he continues to learn the Atlanta offense and how to work well with Vick -- not to mention those pesky double teams! But the second half of the season will see him settle down and make the year worthwhile -- 1000 yards and 9 TDs.
9) Speaking of Vick, he will continue to try and be more of a pocket passer, but still gives in to the urge to run all over the place. He'll have at least one concussion in 2003. But even then, he should have a great season -- 2900 passing yards, 18 passing TDs, 725 rushing yards, and 7 rushing TDs.
10) Arizona will win a measly 2 games in 2003.
11) Tim Couch will begin the 2003 season as the starter in Cleveland, but will choke, and give way to Holcomb....for good. Couch is let go after the season.
12) The Bungles, Lions, and Texans all win 5 games in 2003.
13) The Raven defense will emerge once again -- Lewis will dominate again and show why HE is the #1 LB in the NFL. Suggs will have an excellent year for a rookie lineman.
14) Speaking of the Ravens, their offense will be a bit more....exciting (?) than previous years and show some signs of life. The defense will do it's usual and help carry some games, but with the help of the offense, the Ravens will make it to the second round of the playoffs.
15) Edgerrin James will bounce back and be a top 7 back again.
===============================================
Ok, there are a few. I could go on, and on. Maybe i'll post some more later on. Perhaps one of the admins could sticky this if enough people participate, so we don't have to go back 68 pages just to dig this back up...?
Let's see how good you are!

Suggs11) Coach of the Year: B. ParcellsHey. Anybody can make predictions.
Hehe, keep 'em coming guys! It'll be reaaaaaal interesting at the end of the year, because we have several where people are on the exact opposite ends of the fence on. Will be interesting to see who's right and who's wrong..
)Holmes is held out of all preseason games despite being declared 100% healthy. Starts the season and plays below expectations. Is replaced early in the season by LJ and a few months later retires due to hip injury.Rams and Cardinals win same amount of games(6)Plummer suprises in Denver and puts up huge fantasy #'sand last but not least........BILLS WIN SUPERBOWL!!!!! 
:rotflmao:
(Huge '04 numbers for Rogers) 1550 and 10. I know '04 is a long ways off, but get this kid on your roster!Ahhh, the Holmes-LJ debate. 2 words, Faulk-Trung. Same thing here as LJ watches Holmes rip up the NFL for 2 or 3 more years.Bold: Jurevicious puts up 1100 and 7 as he supplants Keenan as the #2 in TB.FF'ers that draft Ahman Green around 8th or 9th overall get a great pick as he will post better numbers than Tomlinson.S. Davis gets 350 carries and goes off for 1435 rushing with 12 TD's.What's with all the DJax will beat KRob talk? All signs point to KRob putting up better numbers. I'll take a stab at these two. DJax, 88 catches for 1040 yards and 8 scores.KRob, 75 catches for 1250 yards and 7 scores.Ron Dayne will suck.
4. Chambers lives up to last years hype5. Giants win Super Bowl..over Pittsburgh 
7. Jets suck again 
9. Dallas still sucks..press talks about Parcells 3 year plan..Parcells says "hey its better than the politicians four year plan"...ol' Jerry gets busted for running a drug enterprise 
10. Miami makes it to the playoffs..then lose 
11. Cincy makes it to the wild card12. Foster does great after taking over for a injured Davis13. Fred Taylor stubs his toe and is out for the year again...Terry Glenn calls him his b....well you get the point.14. Speaking of her....Terry Glenn has a remarkable year..and is glad at the end of the year to be joined by Keyshawn once again after a high stake trade15. Hilliard does better than Toomer16. Anthony Thomas wonders why he was doubted after a killer year.17...Quentin McCord has 12 tds from Vick as Price carries all the dbl teams18. The Zebras will be full time at the end of another "accurate" year19. Manning is horrible..Harrison breaks a leg...(I hope not btw)20. Oakland finally retires..
