Whoever the big surprise team is, it will be because of a QB playing at a high level.

So I don't see it being Buffalo, Manual isn't ready yet. It could be Miami, Tannehill looked good to me last year. Outside possibilities are TB and Carolina, if their young QBs step up. I think Bradford has a better shot than all of them.

I'd go with the Palmer-lead Cardinals except climbing over those three incredibly physical teams they share a division with will be a tall order.

So I'll say the Dolphins.

Plus The Dolphins are helped by being is a lousy division. They have a much easier schedule than the Rams.

True. Just got that one hurdle to clear.

I think TB could surprise. They have a lot of potential but just seem very inconsistent. They could make the next step forward with better D and more consistent play or continue to be a tease so to speak.

LTNS Fox......

The issue that the Bucs have I think is QB. Freeman is so up and down and he is one of those guys that has the cannon arm that too often thinks "I can't get it there" and it gets knocked down or picked off.

I hope they beat WASH though....of course.

I think the Bucs have a possibility of making the POs due to the additions of Goldson and Revis. Plus, they have a decent team already. Going to be interesting to see how Schiano acts this season vs last season.

We are thinking the same way.

What is the matter with Y'all?? It's the Rams of course! Sure people ar predicting them to "improve" .... but they are still predicting them to be THIRD in the NFCWest. I predict that we WIN the division! :cool:

.... I'll say the Jets. I think they will surprise a lot of people. I dont think they make the playoffs, but I think they're in the hunt and finish around .500

QB is there weakness. I think their D will be better, and they are getting their WRs back healthy. Plus they added Ivory which will provide a boost to their running game

But you were always a genius, FP. Why would I have to reinforce that fact?
And, you know, it's not very geniusy of you to want me to do that.

Agreed. Tis my insecurities and overwhelming need to feel loved that gets the better of me. My sincerest apologies. Oh, and I also agree with those who mentioned the Chefs. I see them winning a lot more games this year as well. Totally Forgot about them.....
