These are my predictions for the END of the season. Enjoy!
32. Indianapolis Colts (currently 0-8): Their franchise quarterback (Peyton Manning, duh) is injured with no incentive to return this season, starting running back (Joseph Addai) is aging and unable to stay healthy, tight end Dallas Clark appears to be lacking explosion and their defense is the worst in the league. I don't see any potential for improvement.
31. Denver Broncos (2-5): I don't know about you, but I believe professional defensive players when they call an opposing quarterback an "absolute joke." Tim Tebow obviously isn't the answer for this hapless franchise, and I doubt Brady Quinn will be either. Kyle Orton gives this listless bunch the best chance to win, but I'm not sure he'll reclaim the reins this season.
30. Arizona Cardinals (1-6): I can't believe they blew that 24-3 lead against the reeling Ravens. When they had the opportunity to put their collective foot on Baltimore's throat, they held back and allowed a struggling team to regain its confidence. Bummer for my Jets in the wild card race. Now Kevin Kolb is injured (not that he's any good, really) and Beanie Wells is always struggling to stay on the field. On the other side of the ball, they miss former CB1 Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. All things considered, the Cardinals are a mess.
29. Miami Dolphins (0-7): For a winless team, they're really not that bad. Matt Moore has done a very admirable job filling in for Chad Henne (he might be better anyway), Reggie Bush is coming off one of the best games of his career, and they still have quality players in Brandon Marshall, Cameron Wake and Yeremiah Bell. Tony Sparano is a good football coach. I'm sure he'll help another franchise after the Dolphins let him go.
28. Washington Redskins (3-4): A mess at the quarterback position (John Beck and Rex Grossman), RB1 Tim Hightower done for the year, WR1 Santana Moss and TE Chris Cooley hurt, and a head coach (Mike Shanahan) who can never seem to make up his mind. Veteran linebacker London Fletcher is still a beast, but he's their only reliable standout.
27. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-6): Their offense is certainly nothing to write home about, but their tough, relentless defense is enough to keep them ahead of the teams ranked 28 to 32.
26. Cleveland Browns (3-4): They can't keep Peyton Hillis or Montario Hardesty on the field, so their offense lacks the balance necessary to be even the least bit effective. They are tough and physical defensively (like the preceding Jaguars), but overall they don't have enough going for them to stay around the .500 mark.
