Message: [QUOTE="ckingriches, post: 1931580, member: 58784"] Your analysis isn't too bad... I just have a couple of comments. I agree the 49ers should win their division, but I'm not so sure about locking things up by week 10. Despite having an excellent defense and a good offense, they could easily be 0-2 with games against Green Bay and Detroit to start things off. They also play the Giants in week 6 - two of those are home games, which should help. Then there's Chicago, New Orleans and New England in the 2nd half, the last two of those on the road - yikes. I don't think New Orleans will sink to the bottom of that division. They have a monster offense that most teams will have trouble keeping up with. And they've had plenty of time to get accustomed to the idea of their coaching absences. I'm not sure if you realized that MJD is on the Jacksonville Jaguars, not the Carolina Panthers. In any case, Carolina has too much depth at RB, including DeAngelo Williams, Jonathon Stewart, and now Mike Tolbert. Anyone expecting Cam Newton to match or exceed last years numbers should think again. I can't see him rushing for all those TD's with that group of backs. What they really needed was a reliable WR to take some of the heat off Steve Smith, and I don't see any improvement there except another year of age on his part. I agree with your assessment of the NFC East, except that I'd put the Eagles ahead of the Giants. Then again, I live near Philly and hear all about them all the time (way too much, since I'm not really a fan). The Giants have a brutal end to their season, with Green Bay, Washington, New Orleans, Atlanta, Baltimore, and Philly all after their Week 11 bye. It could easily come down to the final game of the season between them. I also think the Bears may not jell as well as you hope. In any case, the Lions offense is very, very good - Stafford is the real deal, and I expect them to put up big numbers. Pettigrew is gonna have a big season in complement of Megatron. Perhaps the Bears defense isn't on the decline and they can finish ahead of the Lions, but I don't expect them to approach the Packers at all. And Frankly, I think Stafford has a significant edge over Cutler, but getting back Marshall and having finally signed Forte should help. [/QUOTE]
