Ten NFL Midseason Questions

Killswitch

Now that every team except two (the ones playing tonight) have hit the eight game mark it is officially the middle point in the NFL season. So I thought I’d create a thread, pose some questions and we can all answer them in our own way while also probably being incredibly biased towards our favorite teams of course. For each question, feel free to write as much as you want, but try to give a direct answer too.

Copy and paste the following when you reply. Have fun.

2. What team do you feel is the best defense in the league?The Best Defense goes to the Chicago Bears they are playing very well save the Miami game

This is a great thread. REPS.



1. What has been the biggest story in the NFL so far after nine weeks of the 2006 season?

The biggest story has to be the Dallas Cowboys. You have Terrell Owens "attempting suicide", getting called out for sleeping in class, but still scoring. Drew Bledsoe getting benched for Romo. The Defense lacking while the offense moves along. Some predicted the exact opposite. Will Parcells hang em up at years end?

2. What team do you feel is the best defense in the league?

Tough call. Baltimore has been very impressive as well as San Diego, Chicago, Minnesota and the Jags. I am going with the Ravens.

3. When will the 8-0 Indianapolis Colts lose this season, if you feel they will even lose at all?

You made me go and look up their schedule now, didnt ya? They lose to Philly.

1. What has been the biggest story in the NFL so far after nine weeks of the 2006 season? The Bears were the biggeswt story, but now it's Peyton Manning and how great he is.

2. What team do you feel is the best defense in the league?
I still think the Ravens are the best on defense. I think their defense can actually shut people down, good teams..

3. When will the 8-0 Indianapolis Colts lose this season, if you feel they will even lose at all?They will lose at Jacksonville. The Jags always play well against them.

4. What was the best free agent acquisition and/or trade in the NFL this year?No doubt, Drew Brees. He's been solid for the Saints and they are 6-2

5. What team has been the most surprising (in a good way) this season?
Saints

6. What team has been the most disappointing this season?
Steelers, no question.. 2-6?

7. Who do you think is the Most Valuable Player in the NFL this season?
Manning.

8. Who will represent the AFC in Super Bowl XLI?
Colts

9. Who will represent the NFC in Super Bowl XLI?
Giants

10. Who will win Super Bowl XLI?
The Manning bowl! Peyton finally gets his ring against his brother..

Since it's a very slow at college today I will answer...

1. What has been the biggest story in the NFL so far after nine weeks of the 2006 season?
I think the Steelers being 2-6 at this point is pretty huge. I didn't see that coming at all. The other big story is that there are actually other players in the NFL not named Terrell Owens. Who knew?

2. What team do you feel is the best defense in the league?
The Denver Broncos are my pick. No offense to the Bears, who I feel are great obviously, but they haven’t played the quality opponents that Denver has played and the Broncos have impressed he hell out of me all year. I think the Giants defense is pretty great at this point too. So that’s my top three.

3. When will the 8-0 Indianapolis Colts lose this season, if you feel they will even lose at all?
I guess December 10 @ Jacksonville, but I’m not really sure. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was a shocking thing like losing to the Titans, though.

4. What was the best free agent acquisition and/or trade in the NFL this year?
I think the Saints signing of Drew Brees is first while the Broncos trade for Javon Walker would be second. Both moves have paid off huge for both teams. The Daunte Culpepper acquisition by Miami would rank as the 1,437th best move of the offseason.

5. What team has been the most surprising (in a good way) this season?
The New Orleans Saints are the clear choice here. I thought they had built a good foundation, but I didn’t see them sitting at 6-2 at this point in the year. Sean Payton is probably the coach of the year while Marques Colston is clearly the steal of the draft. Who would have thought that the best Saints rookie wouldn’t be Reggie Bush? Crazy.

6. What team has been the most disappointing this season?
The Dolphins. Yes, the Steelers are disappointing at 2-6, but they’ve had a tough schedule. Miami is a team that I thought would be a playoff contender especially after ending last year so well. (EDIT: Fuck it, the answer is Pittsburgh. I just had to mention the Miami thing too.)

7. Who do you think is the Most Valuable Player in the NFL this season?
A month ago I thought McNabb. Two months ago I said Brady. I’m wrong on both counts. The correct answer is…yes…Peyton Manning again. In second would be LaDainian Tomlinson while I’d probably put Larry Johnson in third at this point.

8. Who will represent the AFC in Super Bowl XLI?
Before the year I said New England and I’m going to stick with that. However, after this Sunday I’m thinking maybe the Colts have what it takes to get over the proverbial hump this year.

9. Who will represent the NFC in Super Bowl XLI?
The New York Giants. Again, I picked them to go all the way and I still believe that. I think they’re the class of the NFC along with Chicago, but the difference is this team has the better offense.

10. Who will win Super Bowl XLI?
I’m going to say the Giants. I just think they’re the most complete team on both sides of the ball. They run well, they pass well, they defend well against the run and their pass defense is getting better because their front four is able to pressure the QB’s into making mistakes.

I did if you read my Draft Blog after the draft I said Colston was the steal of the draft along with Tony Scheffler!
