Skins24 Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 As the season begins, there are high expectations for more than a few teams. There are bound to be dissapointments. So, Which NFC team do you think will be the biggest dissapointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Easily the GMEN. Sorry Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 what exactly did Seattle prove last year to put pressure on them to show 'it' was not a fluke? :laugh: I don't remember seeing them in the playoffs or finishing with 10 wins. So the Seahawks proved by the end of the year they were a .500 team, big deal. With parity that just puts them in range of the top 22 or 23 teams in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathByLinebacker Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 The Seahawks proved that they had a good offense and a bad defense and I think they're getting ready to prove it again. Certainly Shawn Springs going down didn't make their defense any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why people are so high on them.... But most predictions have them as the "surprise" team, go fig. (8 of the "experts" on espn have them in the playoffs - 2 even have them winning the west) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gridironmike Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Tom, what makes a person a Giants fan as opposed to a Jets fan? Are Giants fans Mets or Yankees fans, Rangers or Islanders, Knicks or Nets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Washington Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 well they have a pretty good players at wr and rb and they put up huge numbers last year. alexander in the beginning of the year and hasselback later in the year. their defense should be improved with ray rhodes (imo the best DC in football). i don't see them dominating but they could easily be 10-6 or 6-10. kinda reminds you of us.

Tom [Giants fan] Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 I am a Giants, Yankees, Islanders, Knicks fan. My one brother is a Jets, Mets, Islanders, Nets fan. My other brother is a Steelers, Mets, Islanders, doesn't watch basketball fan. My nephew is a Rams , Mets, Islanders, no basketball fan. I don't think there is a set criteria.

SonnyJ Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Seattle has been a trendy pick for the last 5 years or so, it seems. I think it has something to do with Holmgren. It's probably the same thing that makes people pick the Broncos to do well, even though it has been clearly demonstrated that they aren't much different than the Redskins since Elway has retired. And they spend just as much, if not more, money. Shanahan's glow mesmerizes the pundits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Seattle seems like the new-aged Cardinals from the late 90's. They were pretty good and made it to the playoffs that one year, and for the next couple of years the "experts" didn't want to let go of the fact that it was a one year wonder deal. I think the Seahawks are much better than that Cardinal team, but I still wouldn't put any money on the SeaHawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Either Holmgren is a great coach, Favre is a great QB, or both. I think we find out the answer this year, and I'm going to go with door #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orlskinsfan Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 i said the giants because they seem to always have a good year followed by a poor year...and last year they made the playoffs so this year should be a downer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redsk58417 Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Originally posted by Tom [Giants fan] Don't be sorry, the more doubters the Giants have the better they will do. Well until the G-men can prove that a Fassell coached team can have good back-to-back season's, most will pick them to flop behind a playoff year. Check his history. Never two consecutive good years in New York. I see 7-9 in NY's future.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom [Giants fan] Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 The Giants get the same amound of votes as the Seahawks who have already suffered a couple of serious injuries and a suspension? That is just not right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurent Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 The Giants success will hinge on how well that patchwork OL holds up. While they did a great job getting the maximum out of their OL last season I think New York will be in for a rude awakening in 2003. Their situation reminds me a lot of the Redskins of 2001 where our collection of mostly rejects on OL held up well only to crumble the following season. Collins won't have much time to throw the ball this year and we all know how he plays under pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is a set criteria. Its Jets and Mets together, that seems to be the real correlation. Of all the NYers I know its those two teams that seem to be paired together. And, begging the pardon of your obviously Islander-loving clan, my experience is that the Rangers usually are included with Mets/Jets. Not a NYer myself but my wife, her 7 siblings, and their assorted mates and offspring are from Long Island, I mean from The Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
