View Full Version : Which *NFC* team is most overrated and overhyped going into 2006?

You know how every team has high hopes going into the season, yet somehow half the teams end up being losing teams? Which teams in the NFC with high expectations do you think will end up winning 7 or less games?
I did not include 49ers and Lions because I don't think they really expect to win any games. HA!

According to Pete Prisco it is our beloved Washington Redskins. I can't believe no one started a thread about his comments on the Brian Mitchell show today. He singled out all of our Marquee signings and blasted them.
Archuleta- Liability in coverage
Randle El- 30 mil for 3 catches a season
Carter- Flashes but inconsistant
Lloyd- Called him a locker room cancer that the 9ers were glad to discard.
He ripped the organization and you could tell he has a chip on his shoulder.

I know. They act like it's business as usual. If Herm Edwards had replaced Mike Shanahan at Denver do you really think that they would still churn out running backs like they do now? Plus the problem with KC has been their defense the last few years and that is the portion of the coaching staff they chose to retain.

Pete Prisco is an idiot. Earlier this offseason he said that we had to field 15-20 rookies just to get under the cap. Prisco = Jackass.

A close second is the Indianapolis Colts ... I do not believe they will be as good as many think simply because they lost Edge and lost some key people on defense.
Secondly they were exposed by the Chargers and The Steelers that is the blueprint to beating them.

I could really see the redskins underachieving this year.
No offense, but prior to making that end of the season run, you were 5-6. And the peices you added should be fine, I think the rest of the O will take time to gel with the new O-coordinator. Defense should be good though, so if you can stay away from the injury bug early on, and give the O time to gel, maybe you'll do ok.
The biggest problem with you guys would be depth. Not that every team doesn't have these issues, with the exception of WR and RB, there is very little depth on your team.
Its just the nature of the NFL in todays game though. Pay money to you're starters and hope for a healthy season.

I agree.
In the NFC, it has to be the Cowboys. ESPN is all over Bill Parcells funbags because he worked for them and won 2 superbowls. They think Parcells himself will take the Cowgirls to the SB. They think the addition of TO means its a no-brainer.
Dallas will probably make the playoffs this year, but look for an early exit, probably in the wild card round.

dont you mean you really HOPE to see the Skins underachieving this year? good lord we had the best record in the division for Gods sake and beat your boys twice.
your logic of "No offense, but prior to making that end of the season run, you were 5-6" makes no sense. what you are in essence saying is the fact that we slipped midseason due to some key injuries but had the guts and grit to win 5 in a row when it counted is somehow a weakness. and that is plain rediculous. if that is an indication of the Skins underachieving in the upcoming season what does the boy collapse when it counted forbode for you?

You went the furthest in the postseason, but the Giants had the best record in the division.
I'm not going to get into a debate about last season right now, because it really doesn't matter and will never go anywhere, but there really wasn't a any point in the season where observers thought "Damn, those Redskins are impressive. Look out." I'm not going to tell you whether or not that should matter, but basically, I think the Redskins looked beatable every week.
To me, a team that was never incredibly impressive and went on to make a series of overrated acquisitions, yet is still picked by many as a 12-4 Superbowl contender is an over-hyped team.
But like I said, I still see the Redskins in the playoffs. I just don't really understand the prevailing notion that they were world beaters last season and brought in a team of Hall-of-famers in the offseason.

you are the classic uninformed (on the Skins) individual. other than the one giants game we looked as if we could win every game as much as we could lose. we were in most every game of the season.
overrated acquisitions? ever hear the saying, "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts"? i bet you thought the same about Santana last year right? even if you didnt, id rather be on or for a team that made it to the playoffs with a RB, a TE and one WR and MADE moves to improve their softspots in the offseason than a team that lost thier only O threat and remained stagnant going into 06.
personally im quaking in my shoes thinking of the incredible offense the iggles are going to field this year. with your "almost a running back" staley and your WR, wait who ARE the iggles WR"S again?

Since you clearly didn't read my thread other than to momentarily gloss over it and decide "more Eagles fans hating on the Skins, what a moron," I really don't know how I can respond.
I didn't mention the Eagles in my post, so there really is no need for you to mention them in your reply. I said I expect the Redskins to make it to the playoffs, and yet, you act as though I've imagined them as a bottom dweller.
I said only that they looked beatable last season and followed that up with what I perceive to be overrated acquisitions. You say they were in every game last year; I agree. My point is they never had the look of a dominating team, and in my opinion, didn't add overwhelming pieces to speak of. The combination of those two factors, compared to the attention they receive from various analysts, in my opinion, qualifies them as one of the most overrated teams in the league.

The truth is NO team last year was dominating. It remains to be seen if the players we got this year will pan out as well as we hope but I have a REALLY good feeling about them. Most of them were hyped by the media in a NEGATIVE way just because it was us that were signing them.
I'm not crying about it. I could care less what the media says but any reasonable peron knows if Dallas had signed the very same players there would be comparisons to the 72 Dolphins.

When he/she claimed we had the best division record, i think he/she meant against divisional teams. We were 5-1 against other teams in our division. But then again, I could just be hoping a fellow skins fan doesn't think an 11-5 giants record is worse than a 10-6 redskins record.

I picked the Cowboys too for similar reasons. There really aren't many teams to pick from though since most of the NFC is real bad. My preseason mag only picked 4 teams to have winning records in the conference (Cowboys, Skins, Seattle and Carolina). I think the Bears and Eagles will do well this year, especially if the Bears keep Jones at RB.

First things first, good to hear from you onedrop, I haven't seen you around here much lately.
Now, let me tell you (again) just how incredibly wrong you are.
"Best record in the division" true, but by the same token, you haven't beat a team in from the AFC in what like two years. So really who cares?
Look at your last 5 games.
You beat Arizona by only 4 points.
Dallas rolled over. Our O line was BAD after Flo went down.
Philly almost beat you with thier 4th stringers.
Now you won the games, so congrats, but its not like you beat top tier competition. Arizona, Injured Dallas, and Philly.
But yet you think all this will carryover into next season? C'mon. This isn't hte NFL of 15 years ago, where a team would get better, and better and better, eventually contending for a championship. This is a parody league, and what you did last year means absolutely zero. Especially going on a 5-0 run to end the season.
But if you want to call it "Guts and Grit", go for it. Remember Miami ended the season with a 6 game winning streak. I don't hear anyone commenting on their "guts and grit"
Get over it. It was last year. It means nothing.

How many people are actually picking the Eagles to be a division winner, though? Go look in the playoff prediction thread, they're barely mentioned. Mainstream outlets say we didn't add as much as the other teams in the division and are a 3rd-4th place team, by and large.

There were games the skins played like :pooh: but hey they won the important ones. Even if you feel that they were beatable they came out winners. Not losers. In my opinion they have an even bigger appetite than any other NFC East team. They have the urgency to prove not just to themselves but also to all the haters that they are SB contenders this year.
Even though I know you didnt say they wouldnt be in the "playoffs" you make it seem like they were lucky every week in the win column? I'd say they earned all there wins and also there losses.
The Redskins looked beatable every game last season? What logic is in that statement above? It can go either way. You ever hear "Any given Sunday"? Well look what the Redskins acomplished last season. Lets see what your judgement on this season is after week 6. Hope your singing the same tune about your team.

You need to get over too and who did the Cowboys beat? You didn't beat any world beaters either so once again your argument is lame. You struggled against a forty niner team that we totally destroyed and you talking about an injured Dallas team where they injured then ? of course not they were healthy. You can face the fact that they are no more than a mediocre team let me see who else did you beat oh yeah The Chargers minus Antonio Gates it would have been a completely different game if Gates would have played because we all know your weak secondary couldn't handle Gates if he played.

I gotta say that the team with the most pressure to move forward is my Redskins. The team getting the most hype without proving anything yet is the Cowboys.
The Redskins and the Cowboys are the two NFC teams that everyone will be watching closely and waiting for to fail. It's all about the offseason acquisitions, too.
We brought in a ridiculous amount of big names and Dallas brought in the most ridiculous big name in football.
The pressure is on 2 teams that can't freaking stand eachother.
(BTW- I voted for the Cards.)

First things first, good to hear from you onedrop, I haven't seen you around here much lately.
Now, let me tell you (again) just how incredibly wrong you are.
"Best record in the division" true, but by the same token, you haven't beat a team in from the AFC in what like two years. So really who cares?
Look at your last 5 games.
You beat Arizona by only 4 points.
Dallas rolled over. Our O line was BAD after Flo went down.
Philly almost beat you with thier 4th stringers.
Now you won the games, so congrats, but its not like you beat top tier competition. Arizona, Injured Dallas, and Philly.
But yet you think all this will carryover into next season? C'mon. This isn't hte NFL of 15 years ago, where a team would get better, and better and better, eventually contending for a championship. This is a parody league, and what you did last year means absolutely zero. Especially going on a 5-0 run to end the season.
But if you want to call it "Guts and Grit", go for it. Remember Miami ended the season with a 6 game winning streak. I don't hear anyone commenting on their "guts and grit"
Get over it. It was last year. It means nothing.
you were the one to bring it up, last year that is. im merely saying if you conclude that the way the Skins ended last season indicates that we will underacheive this season you must be ready to kill yourself when the same is applied to your girls. whats good for the goose.....we won when it counted, your team collapsed. nice try on the "an injured dallass team" by the way. all teams played last year with injuries. so by that argument the Skins did show "guts and grit" our entire O, other than Moss and Cooley was inhured down the stretch and we still won. because our D carried us through. good teams find a way to win, not collapse, when the playoffs are on the line.

I see WeOwnU conveniently left out the games against the Rams and Giants that we won by 15 points each.

This is a parody league...
Am I the only one who finds this damn funny?
Like it or not, the skins are hyped. Some negative, some positive, but there is hype. Personally, I think there is a lot to be excited about; Saunders, new offensive weapons, Carter and Arch, building on chemistry of both lines, 5-0 to end the reg season, winning a playoff game in way too long...
Lots to build on.
But the cowboys take the prize.
Every day I have to hear about how TO's hamstring is, how he and bill will get along, whether he remembered to courtesy flush...
Dallas is way overhyped this year. Let's see how much protection statue has.

I think it's damn funny myself but then again everything he says is a joke. Consider the source where it's coming from.. I agree is certainly the most overhyped and overrated this year.
