with the addition of mcnair

jamal lewis has 1500 rushin yards

Fiction
I think he'll be in the 1100-1200 range. With McNair, defenses will be less prone to crowding the box and daring the Ravens to beat them deep, cuz Mcnair can do that! This will open up the running game more for Lewis but I think 1500 is a stretch.

Fact or Fiction SD chargers lose their 10/1/06 game

Fact - Rivers will still be going through some growing pains in his 4th start, and Ray Lewis & Co. aren't going to be a friendly sight coming off the Chargers bye week. With McNair slinging the ball, Jamal Lewis could finally see some defenses not stacking up against the run.

[BrentJones84]

Fact or Fiction

The run of the NE Patriots is over, much like the other winners of multiple Super Bowls in a short span of time (IE: 49ers, Cowboys, Steelers), even with retaining many of the "star" players that got them there.

Fiction. Allthough the odds are against them, and without Vinateri, they can't win the close ones, the fact that the Jets and Bills are stuggling give the Pats a good chance at winning the division. Once in the playoffs, their defense can still hold off opponents. They won their first SB with very little offense.

It's a very, very small chance, but I wouldn't quite count them out yet.

[PsychoZombie]

Fact or Fiction:

Fact or Fiction

The Lions surprise everyone with Kitna at QB and win the weak NFC North.

Kita may surprise, but overall, fiction. The team is too weak in too many areas that even if Kita magically becomes Montana part 2, the rest of them lacks toughness. After this season, I expect them to blow out thier roster, and them maybe they can make noise in another year or two.

Culpepper turns Chris Chambers into the next Steve Smith.

While I think Steve Smith is a bit excessive, I'll go out on a limb and say Fact, the change of scenery will do Daunte good and he'll bounce back to Pro-bowl form.

Fact or Fiction:

Due to a miserable Raiders team, Randy Moss does not get voted for the Probowl.

[PsychoZombie]

Fact or Fiction:

Due to a miserable Raiders team, Randy Moss does not get voted for the Probowl.

Fiction - Due to the fact that ALOT of votes are based on pure household names rather then ouput during the season, Moss will continue to go in on name alone

Fact or Fiction

[BrentJones84]

Fact or Fiction

Chad Johnson's Mohawk is gone by Week 6

Fact or Fiction:

Brad Childress is the only ROOKIE head coach to win at least 8 games this season.

[BrentJones84]

.

Fact or Fiction:

Michael Vick has one more oppurtunity to show he's not the next Kordell Stewart.

Fiction. the Falcons have too much invested in Vick to only give him one more year. If he falters again this year, Mora will be made the scape goat, and they'll try one more time for Vick to live up the hype with a new coach.

Fact or Fiction:

the Cowboys surprise the critics and end up at the bottom of a very tough NFC East.

[PsychoZombie]

.

Fact or Fiction:

Fact or Fiction

The Baltimore Ravens WIN the AFC North, with the addition of McNair

Fact.

The Steelers lost too many key players, and will be sleeping off their SB hangonver. The Browns are improved, but have questions at QB, and other issues. The Bengals could still win, but the Raven's have the better overall defense, while Palmer is still recovering from a major surgery.

Fact or Fiction:

Fact or Fiction:
The Rams will continue to have a defense in the bottom 5 of the NFL, in terms of points given up. (they were 2nd worst last season).

Fact or Fiction

Aaorn Rodgers is named the starting QB of the Packers by Week 10.

[BrentJones84]

Fact or Fiction

Aaorn Rodgers is named the starting QB of the Packers by Week 10.

Fiction. Although by that time the Packers season will be over, and Farve will 1/2 way out the door to retirment, and starting Aaron would be the logical thing to do, it would be a PR nightmare to deny Brett a goodbye tour.

Fact or Fiction

Gruden may be looking for a new job if Simms doesn't pan out.

[BrentJones84]

Fact or Fiction

Gruden may be looking for a new job if Simms doesn't pan out.

Fiction. Although I think Gruden has been over rated, he won the NFC-S last season with a respectible 11-5 record. He also has ''Cadillac'' Williams to take the pressure off of Simms. But I don't seem him taking them to the another SB any time soon.

Fact or Fiction:

[PsychoZombie]

Fact or Fiction:

[BrentJones84]

Fact or Fiction

Seahawks still have one of the best O-Lines in the NFL, even with the loss of Hutchinson.

Fact. An O-line is 5 people, and the loss of one gard won't bring the whole line down. Rather, the other 4 will be bring his replacement up (assuming zero injuries, or course).


Fact or Fiction:

Jake Plummer is out in Denver if he doesn't go deep into the playoffs this year.

[BigB_85]

Fact. An O-line is 5 people, and the loss of one gard won't bring the whole line down. Rather, the other 4 will be bring his replacement up (assuming zero injuries, or course).


Fact or Fiction:

Jake Plummer is out in Denver if he doesn't go deep into the playoffs this year.

Fact or Fiction
Billy Volek gets the nod over Vince Young as the starter

Like what if's? I agree theres some question though.

[BrentJones84]

fact. i dont know any other way to put it. fact.

fact or fiction: vince young has a better career than michael vick when its all said and done.

Fact, assuming Jeff Fisher is kept on as head coach. Jeff knows how to develope a QB for the long term, and how to surround a QB with the players he needs to do well. Vick was drafted onto a team that didn't bother to surround him with decent players for years, and laid their entire franchise on Vick (which was evident by how fast they crumblled when Vick was injured). Now that issue has been fixed, and the Falcons have a great running game and defense, Vick is held back by a terrible OC and a coach who spends more time trying to change Vick rather than helping him build upon his strengths.

Assuming no coaching changes with the Titans, Young shouldn't have so many problems.

fact or fiction

reggie bush will have more recieving yards than rushing yards in 06

Fact. Despite the hype, Bush isn't a tough brawler for getting yards between the tackels, and he was never used that way at USC. Deuce will still be the featured back for the most part, while Bush will be used for more for catching balls out in the flat or quick dump offs where his speed and cutting abilty will make him more dangerous than running at the DL.

Fact or Fiction: Eric Johnson has a better season over Vernon Davis.

I'm going to say fact. Defensive players will buy into the (valid) hype on VD and keep him well covered, leaving EJ wide open. Also, in two TE sets, VD will be used as a decoy, going on deep routes to draw the safties, leaving EJ wide open for the important 1st downs.

VD may have some more spectacular plays, and may make more high light reels, but I see EJ end up with more receptions and more 1st downs.

fact - fiction

Chicago will make the playoffs again?

Fact.

They're not that good, but compared to the Lions and Packers, they will win by default. The only challange will be the Vikings. But the Vikings have a rookie head coach, and it's questionable if the Vikes have enough offensive fire power right now to overcome the Bears defense. Bears win, just because the rest of their division will mostly suck.

Fact or Fiction:

Jim Mora Jr is out in Atlanta if they don't win the division in 2006.

[BrentJones84]

fact or fiction

Curtis Martin will bounce back from injury and will have his usualu 1000+ yard season?

Fact. The Jets have invested a lot in their O-line, and with a shaky QB situation, they will rely on their running game more than ever.

fact or fiction:

AFC Probowl QBs: Manning, Palmer, & Brady

fact or fiction:

AFC Probowl QBs: Manning, Palmer, & Brady

Fact: Three of the best in the business, and who honestly can take their place?

Fact or Fiction:
Donovan McNabb throws for more than 20 touchdowns and less than 10 interceptions.

[BrentJones84]

Fact or Fiction:
Donovan McNabb throws for more than 20 touchdowns and less than 10 interceptions.

Fiction. He will come very close, but that's a tall order.

Fact or Fiction:

Peyton Manning breaks his own record for numer of TD's in a season in 2005.

[BrentJones84]

fact - fiction

Fred Taylor will play in 13 or more games this year.

I'm going to go with fiction. He's 30, an 8 yr vet, with an ankle that just won't get better.

fact or fiction

The Colts running game will be horrible this year.

[BrentJones84]

complete fiction, they have one of the best o-lines in football and the passing game will always be the focal point, i doubt much drop off in the running game this year from the Colts.

fact - fiction

Jamal Lewis will run for 1400+ yards

Fiction. He's only gone over 1400+ once.
I think over a 1000 will be fact, but 1400 is a tall order.
Although I just looked at the Raven's schedule, so it might be close.

fact or fiction:

The Steelers win 8 or fewer games in 2006.

[BrentJones84]

fact - fiction

Ronnie Brown will run for more yards than Cadillac Williams this year

Oh tough one.

I'm going with Fiction. Tampa is still feeling it's way with thier QB situation, and will rely on Cadiilac more to take the pressure off the QB.

The Phins have Culpepper, who's never been one for handing off the running game, even when he should.

fact or fiction:
Aaron Brooks throws more INTs than TDs this season.

[BrentJones84]

fiction, with the weapons around him, even Brooks will throw for more TD's than INT's.


fact - fiction

Mike Martz will turn around the Detroit offense?

If you mean in 2006, fiction. They need a better roster of dedicated football players.

If you mean over the next several years, yes, Martz won a SB as a pure OC, and once they have some new blood in Detroit, things will start to look up.

fact or fiction

Without Brees, San Diego total scoring for the 2006 season is under 350 total points.

bj84 thats a hard one, i say fiction though.
fact or fiction...culpepper has a better season (statistically) than carson palmer

[Optimus Prime]

Fiction... Carson and the Bengals have already established good chemistry in Cinci and will only improve.

Fact or Fiction: The Niners AREN'T last in the NFC West in rushing yards next season.

Fact or Fiction: The Niners AREN'T last in the NFC West in rushing yards next season.

tough question,
I wanna say no we will not be last in rushing yards but maybe its only because im a 49er fan..

uhh with the new weapons on offense we may be throwing more,
still I think St. Louis will be last in rushing total.

Steven Jackson may have more rushing yards than any one of our RB's,
but when you add Barlows, Gores, and who ever elses yards together,
we may surpass St. Louis.

Fact or Fiction
Terrell Owens has better hands than Randy Moss

[Downnotout]

Fact The new line will open up running lanes. Gore and Barlow will have very good years. I say 8 or9 hundrend a piece.


Fact or Fiction Matt Lienard will start after 12 games into the season.

[Dinuba49erfan]

Fact or Fiction Matt Lienard will start after 12 games into the season.

I think so,
unless Arizona is doing real well with Warner,
like well enough to almost wrap up the NFC West and get a spot in the playoffs.

Fact or Fiction
Terrell Owens has better hands than Randy Moss
(when was the last time you saw either drop a pass? its not a rhetorical question)

[Dinuba49erfan]

Fact, well sort of I think they will play alot better. Moss and Jordan should have better numbers than last season.

Fact or fiction, Eli Manning will beat his brother this season.

I think ittl be a close game but Peyton will probably slowly pick apart the Giants defense.
So I say fiction.

Speaking of the Colts,
Fact or Fiction
At the end of Week 17, the Colts have the best record in the league

[BrentJones84]

Speaking of the Colts,
Fact or Fiction
At the end of Week 17, the Colts have the best record in the league

Fact. They still have one of the best overall offenses in the league, and a decent defense, playing at least 1/2 their games against really weak teams.

Fact or Fiction:
The Colts air attack will open enough runing lanes that who ever they plug in at RB will have 900+ yard season.

[The Jerm!]

i say fact. edge was the product of the system and not the reverse.

fact or fiction:

joey harrington will present a strong case to be the starting QB for the dolphins in '06.
FICTIONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN x 50000.



Joey Harrington will turn into a FA QB that joins 1 team every year till no teams want him.

[BrentJones84]

FICTIONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN x 50000.



Joey Harrington will turn into a FA QB that joins 1 team every year till no teams want him.


Jerm, you forgot to leave a Fact or Fiction!

I say Fiction: Cullpepper will do well enough that Miami will trade Harrington to someone else after this season.

Fact or Fiction:

Jon Kitna has a good season in Detroit: passing rating in the high 90's, 16-20 TD's, 10 or less ints.
