Steelers = Bettis isnt as motivated and nearly retired, Plaxico is gone leaving only Ward to get double teamed and Randle El to get abused at the LOS...we'll see what Roeth is all about this season, face a little adversity...if he leads them back to the playoffs this year he's the real deal...Ravens and Bengals both make a push for that division this year
Patriots = lost Romeo Crennel, Charlie Weis, Tedy Bruschi...the two driving forces that have made them champions, and the spiritual and emotional leader on the field....those scrub DBs and WRs are going to come down to Earth this season, we'll see the wheels on that bandwagon officially fall off...Jets and Bills both make a serious push to win that division this year
Chargers = one hit wonder in a divison that improved all around them, if Brees doesnt have another one of the best NFL QB seasons of all-time, the Chargers don't get **** done....8-8 at best...Raiders or Broncos take that division this year
Seahawks = their RB doesn't want to be there, their top WR just got cut, they still dont have an edge, and their division also improved all around them...the Rams bolstering that run defense and putting 2 LBs at safety are going to force teams into a shootout every game, exactly what Martz wants to see...Seahawks don't win the divison, and they don't win the wild card...they don't even finish second, Cardinals pass them this year...
Packers = another season with Brett Favre, but their top WR is holding out, their stud RB got arrested and had all sorts of off the field issues this offseason making football a lower priority, their defense is still dog **** and actually got worse, and they didn't use the draft to address their immediate defensive needs. but hey, atleast they got Aaron Rodgers...Vikings and Lions both finish ahead of the Pack this year
