The always fun lookback at how terrible the preseason predictions were.
Playoff Teams
5 for 8 on Divisional Champs (Colts, Chargers, Pats, Seahawks, Bears)
7 for 12 on Playoff Teams (Divisional Champs + Giants & Cowboys)
Misfires - Bucs, Panthers, Bungals, Steelers, Dolphins
Had the Colts Pats in the AFC Championship game, whiffed on that. Seahawks Bucs, not a solid NFC prediction, but hey did you know Chris Simms was going to lose his spleen?
Awards Predictions
MVP: Tom Brady, Didn't know they were going to dump Branch and leave Brady with no one to throw to, and yeah who had LT scoring more points than whole teams.
Offensive Player of the Year: Carson Palmer, he had a good year but not Brees or LT worthy.
Defensive Player of the Year: Troy Polamalu, missed a couple of games and the Steelers were in the tank early on.
Offensive Rookie of the Year: DeAngelo Williams, got hurt and didn't get enough touches.
Defensive Rookie of the Year: DeMeco Ryans, Ding Ding Ding we got a winner 1 out of award pick is a hell of a percentage.
NFL Comeback Player of the Year: Daunte Culpepper, follow that one up with the whiff's of all whiffs. Hey I wasn't the only one.
Kicker of the Year: Shayne Graham, ya I made that one up, Graham didn't help his case by shanking the final field goal of the season that would have put the Bengals in the playoffs.
