Welcome
once again ladies and gentlemen to the annual MOF
Season predictions. We are currently in our 3rd
season of the brand new CFM mode and it has been
excellent to say the least. Coach Shawtypizzle
shocked the world in Season 36 as he beat Cheef,
Leet, Pauly, and Betts to win the whole thing. Very
impressive.
The off-season has been completed and we're
currently in the pre-season getting ready for
Monday's opening kickoff. Season 37 has alot in
store for us, as we see some new guys and we
continue to have our veteran staples. We're hoping
to see some new faces in the post-season, and some
old veterans get off their schnide! Remember these
are all in good fun, so enjoy fellas.
AFC EAST
Buffalo
Bills - Coach Shawtypizzle
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Buffalo Bills (10-6)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: (20-27) .426
Team's Overall Record: 271-287 (.486)
The Champ is here to defend his crown! Of course
everyone expects a Super Bowl hangover, but the
Bills made an interesting signing in the off-season.
Andrew Luck is now a Buffalo Bill. Coach
Shawtypizzle threw $103.9 million over 7 years to
Luck and he accepted. But the question is now, what
do you do with Tyrod Taylor? The QB who took you to
the crown last season? Rumors already have it that
Taylor is being shipped out of town, so we'll have
to see where he lands. The BIlls lost Kyle Williams
to retirement, and the other two of note were kicker
Dan Carpenter and safety Aaron Williams, nothing
that bad. They basically have the same team coming
back, so why wouldn't they be a force to be rekon
with? McCoy, Antonio, and Watkins in addition to
Andrew Luck, they easily have the best offense in
the division.
Miami
Dolphins - Coach Kd0tMarxs ®
Coach's Last Full Season: Rookie
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: (0-1) .000
Team's Overall Record: 284-289 (.496)
Miami yet again will be starting the season with a
brand new coach. A coach who had a very busy
offseason. With the loss of Cameron Wake due to
retirement, they also traded Darrelle Revis, lost
Reshad Jones, Eric Decker, and Barry Church. That's
a pretty big impact. They signed Datone Jones, left
end from Green Bay, but did not address their
secondary needs at all. The top rated CB is a 68.
They will have a lot of problems covering any
receivers, let alone Buffalo's. Their offensive line
is also pedestrian, with an average rating of 81.
Their running game is non existent as well, as they
have Jay Ajayi starting on the depth chart as of
right now. Zack Lewis is the starting QB right now,
and it appears Miami is absolutely in rebuilding
mode with 41 million in cap. Coach Kd0tmarxs has
alot of work to do in his rookie season, we wish him
the best with this land of misfits in Miami.
New
England Patriots - Coach Pettigrew95
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 New England Patriots (8-8)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: (120-55) .686
Team's Overall Record: 272-293-2 (.481)
The end of an era. Tom Brady went down last season
with an injury, and that was that. He announced his
retirement, sending Patriot fans to the tissue box.
Coach Pettigrew had to pick up the snot rags and
continue though, as he had a pretty decent
offseason. Sure they lost Brady, Sheard, Lafell,
Butler and Alan Branch, but they signed away Nick
Mangold from the Jets, Chris Long from the Rams,
Brandon Mebane from Seattle and Stedman Bailey from
the Rams. Their draft pick Adrian Mack looks
promising as well. The Jimmy Garoppolo era has begun
in New England and that doesn't mean good things for
Pettigrew. Of course this is still Coach Pettigrew,
who has a .686 winning percentage in his MOF career,
so he will win some games based on his talent alone,
but these guys are not looking very good. They are
hurting at RB, with Dion Lewis the highest rated,
after Julian Edleman and Gronk their receiving corps
is not very good. The strong point of this team is
the defense. Their corners are the weakest part, but
their front 7 should be very good. I expect the
Patriots to be around .500 just because they lack
the talent to compete for the division.
New
York Jets – Coach TD3322
®
Coach's Last Full Season: Rookie
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: (1-0) 1.000
Team's Overall Record: 303-273 (.526)
J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!! We saw Coach TD3322 take
over in Week 17 and win a forfeit over Cleveland, so
we don't really know what he's got just yet. All we
know is that he made the playoffs in another league
and he's a Madden veteran. So i'm sure he knows what
he's doing. However, in the offseason they lost a
intrical piece of their offensive line in Nick
Mangold, and to make it worse he went to the rival
Patriots.
Their offensive line is absolutely hurting, and is the worst in the
division. To stop Buffalo's defensive line, and the
revamped Pats line, they will need a prayer. They
still have Stafford at the helm, but Bryce Petty is
knocking on that door and we expect a full
competition in camp. Chris Ivory mans the backfield,
as Garcon and Cruz are back for the Jets targets.
Jace Amaro is the starting tight end and is getting
better every season. The addition of Terrance Cody
on the Defensive line was more of a depth signing,
but he could make more of an impact if an injury
occurs. Wilkerson and Damion Harrison are the
strongest parts of the defense as they're back in
New York. The draft pick Jayrone Elliot will make
his debut at LOLB as he joins Demario Davis and
Daryl Washington. The loss of Kyle Wilson and Dee
Milliner hurts their secondary but Jimmy Smith,
Gilchrist and Calvin Pryor look to over achieve. The
Jets are a mess on offense, and as we saw last
season you're going to have to score in this
division. They will have issues blocking, as we said
before, and that will be the demise of this team.
FINAL ANALYSIS: AFC EAST
The Jets and Dolphins are in rebuilding mode, both
teams need QBs and RB's, and even WR's.. and that
will make them the basement dwellars, in addition to
that they are both rookies of the MOF and you all
know how i feel about predicting rookies. The Bills
are the creme of the crop of the division and
barring any injuries they should win the division
once again. The Patriots could be a wild-card
surprise if
Garoppolo
can play well, and Pettigrew can show up.
AFC NORTH
Baltimore
Ravens - Coach Bubbaduran07
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Baltimore Ravens (6-10)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: (51-45) .531
Team's Overall Record: 276-292 (.486)
The Ravens were one of my busts last season. I
predicted them to be much improved, instead they
came back with the same record as Season 35, 6-10.
Since then, Joe Flacco has been benched, and Van
Parker out of Alabama was drafted in the 2nd round.
The Ravens traded C.J. Mosely in the off-season to
the Redskins for Chris Culliver and Jameson Crowder,
in a questionable move. They did sign Josh Boyd and
Kyle Wilson, but also lost Chris Canty and Daryl
Smith to retirement. The offensive line of the
Ravens are one of the strong points of this team,
led by 95 rated Marshal Yanda, i'd almost consider
moving him to left tackle if i was Coach Bubba. The
QB position is in shambles, will it be Sebastian
Jordan who was drafted last season, Van Parker, or
Joe Flacco? The competition is on, but when you have
3 QB's you have zero QBs. The runningback position i
like very much. Demarco Murray is a year older, but
the draft pick of Carlton Alden out of FSU will be
one of the steals of the draft. The speed of their
receivers is also a strong point, Breshard Perriman
and Ja'Darius Hester both have a 97 speed. Tight end
Crockett Gillmore rounds out the offense. The DLine
suffered a loss with Canty leaving, but they are
still pretty solid with Jernigan and 93 rated
Brandon Williams at DT. Besides Terrell Suggs at
ROLB, their linebacking corps is hurting. Especially
with the retirement of Daryl Smith, and the trade of
Mosely. Their secondary is also a weak spot, with
the highest rated corner being at 79. Will Hill is a
great safety, and should provide some leadership to
the rest of the team. These guys are an
average team, they really need a QB and if i was
them, i'd contact Buffalo about Tyrod Taylor
yesterday.
Cincinnati
Bengals - Coach Dpanther95
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 35 Cincinnati Bengals (8-8)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: (115-226)
.337 .337 .337
Team's Overall Record: 290-276 (.512)
Dpanther
made strides last season as he finished (8-8) and
was right there from start to finish chasing the
wild-card spot. Dpanther is still the longest MOF
veteran without a playoff appearance, and we're
hoping that maybe this season is it. They had a
pretty decent draft, grabbing LT Devae Reynolds who
should get the opening day start. They did lose
speedy RB Giovani Bernard and did not replace him.
They also lost Reggie Nelson, who had a great season
36. In addition to that, they lost LT Andre
Whitworth, LB AJ Hawk, and CB Leon Hall, all pretty
big losses. The offensive line of the Bengals is a
little below average, which is most of the league.
As mentioned above, rookie Reynolds will gain alot
of experience very fast at LT. Kevin Zeitler leads
the ratings as an 89 rated RG. Andy Dalton is the
cornerstone QB and captain of the offense, rated a
91 he's in the prime of his career. Runningback,
like we said above, they lost their speedy Bernard,
but they still have Jeremy Hill who will now get the
bulk of the carries, we still expect Cincinnati to
sign another back before the season starts. They
have one of the best receivers and tight ends in
football, with AJ Green (95 ovr) and Tyler Eifert
(96 ovr) and that definitely helps. Their D-line is
very strong as well, with Carlos Dunlap (90 ovr) and
Geno Atkins (92 ovr). They have two solid
linebackers in Rey Maualuga (86 ovr) and Vontaze
Burfict (93 ovr), so their front 7 is very very
solid. Their secondary could use some help, with
their losses it left some holes at CB. Darqueze
Dennard and George Illoka will try to lead a young
secondary to some victories. This team is solid
everywhere, arguably the most talented team in the
division. Another season under the belt, and we
think Dpanther could seriously contend for a
wild-card spot and even the division if things fall
his way.
Cleveland
Browns - Coach Kalikarpenter
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Cleveland Browns (13-3)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: (17-15) .531
Team's Overall Record: 239-333-1 (.418)
Kalikarpenter had himself a comeback season for the
ages! After going 4-12 in Season 35, he turned
things around immediately and went 13-3 last season.
He did get bounced in the playoffs, but still had a
successful season in our eyes. They didn't do too
much in the off-season, but they did lose RE Paul
Kruger who's rated a 97. You look at the Browns
offensive line, and think this has to be the
strongest points of the team. 95 at LT, 99 at LG, 89
at C. That's very good. The right side isnt as
strong, but they are still respectable. Johnny
Manziel will be at the helm once again with Derek
Hart backing him up. Manziel had a very good season
36 and looks to repeat. Their runningbacks aren't
very highly rated, but Ben Tate will be the starter
once again as he had a overachieving season 36. Josh
Gordon is the #1 WR on the team, and they have a
very speedy Adaviyan Randall and the draft pick of
Ja'Darius James should help their receiving corps as
well. Gary Barnidge will be at TE. Their defensive
line is pretty average, with 86 rated Quinton Coples
at RE, and 83 rated Phil Taylor at DT. LB Barkevious
Mingo rated an 85 leads the linebackers as Karlos
Dansby and Christian Kirksey round out the starters.
Their secondary is pretty pedestrian, with Derek
Vincent at CB and Gipson at FS. These guys are
returning just about all of their starters, and won
13 games last season. I believe they could easily
win alot of games again as he learns his team even
better than last season.
Pittsburgh
Steelers - Coach Qpeezy35
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Pittsburgh Steelers (9-7)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 205-135
(.603)
Team's Overall Record: 311-256-1 (.548)
Coach Qpeezy struggled a bit last season, finishing 9-7 and still
making it into the playoffs. That just goes to show
you, Q can have a down season, but still be a
playoff team. The Steelers made some solid moves in
the offseason, including a late trade for Justin
Blackmon which isn't pictured above. They lost Percy
Harvin to a trade, but that was about all they lost.
The offensive line of the Steelers is about average,
with a 71 rated LG that is bringing down that line.
I expect Q to make some sort of move to strengthen
that spot. Obviously Big Ben is a staple of the
offense, but he's had some injury problems late in
his career, hence the addition of Ryan Mallet.
Fingers are crossed that Ben can stay healthy,
because if he doesn't this team will be doomed.
Le'Veon Bell is arguably the best RB in the game,
rated a 98 and can pretty much do anything asked of
him. The signing of Brian Quick was to replace Percy
Harvin, and like we mentioned above , the trade for
Blackmon and a returning Sammie Coates makes their
receiving corps very dangerous. Tomas Spain at TE is
also starting to emerge as a very reliable target.
On the defensive line, the Steelers are very good.
Cameron Heyward, Tyrone Crawford, and Stephon Tuitt
are a 3 headed beast that will give the rest of the
division fits. The linebackers are also solid, with
Lawrence, Timmons, and Dupree. Their corners, also a
very solid group with Casey Hayward leading the
pack. Mike Mitchell, the ageless wonder, and
Shamarko Thomas are back in the safety position. The
Steelers have a solid team, no doubt about it. But
it all depends on the reliability of Ben
Roethlisberger. If he can stay healthy, these guys
will contend for the division. If not, they will be
a huge disappointment.
FINAL ANALYSIS: AFC NORTH
I expect the Bengals and Ravens to be more
competitive this season, giving the Browns and
Steelers some good games. I think the division will
be closer, and i believe it will be separated by 1
game. I'm leaning toward the Browns, only because he
won 13 games last season, and could've won more if
he didnt have 2 games simmed. The Steelers and
Bengals will be battling for 2nd place, while the
Ravens will be improved.
AFC SOUTH
Houston
Texans - Coach Lhu27
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Houston Texans (8-8)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 109-62-1
(.637)
Team's Overall Record: 277-295-1 (.484)
The Texans improved last season with an (8-8)
record, the season before they were (6-10) and i
think it was due to the fact that they drafted a
decent QB in Brayden Talbott. They made some of the
best moves ive seen any team make in the offseason,
and they are ready to compete for a wild-card. Their
offensive line was greatly improved when they traded
for center Max Unger who is an 87 overall. Brown and
Brooks on the left are 83 and 88 respectfully and
the right side sees Quessenberry and Newton at 82
and 78. As we mentioned before Talbott is at the
helm rated an 85, and has excellent throwing ratings
in his 2nd season. He should lead this offense to
some great numbers. No more Arian Foster as the
Texans cut him loose and signed Latavius Murray,
arguably the best back in free-agency. DeAndre
Hopkins is back for Houston, rated at 96 making the
rest of the receiving corps that much better. Tight
End C.J. Fiedorowicz starts for the Texans, and is
rated a 86. The defensive line is the strength of
this team, with JJ Watt and the newly signed Calais
Campbell, both rated 99 and 93. All three of their linebackers are rated an 86 individually in
Whitney Mercilus, Brian Cushing, and Jadeveon
Clowney. They signed Malcolm Butler in the
off-season to help their corner issues, but they are
still a little weak there. The signing of Micah Hyde
was a very good one to solidify the FS position, and
Derrick locke will be at SS. The Texans have a very
solid team, and are no doubt the second best team in
this division, the problem is beating the Jaguars,
which is hard with any team.
Indianapolis
Colts - Coach Srt4thatass
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Indianapolis Colts (2-14)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 2-20
(.091)
Team's Overall Record: 288-283 (.504)
Coach Srt4thatass won his first two games of his career last
season, while finishing 2-14. Things did not improve
with the loss of Andrew Luck in free-agency, also
Robert Mathis and Wes Welker both retired. The Colts
took a beating in the off-season, however they
signed basically every receiver that was on the
market and QB Ryan Fitzpatrick to take over the
field general duties. The offensive line of the
Colts is pretty solid with an 85 LT and 92 LG. Other
than that, they are not solid at center or the right
side of the line. As we mentioned before Fitzpatrick
looks like he will be the starter in Indy with Colt
McCoy as the backup, which is not very good. Their
starting runningback is Ameer Abdullah coming back
from last season. The addition of Eric Decker,
Brandon LaFell, Marques Colston, and Harry Douglas
at receiver gives that part of the team a complete
makeover. Although all those receivers are 30 or
older, they still give them some solid targets. They
also signed Vernon Davis to backup Colby Fleener at
Tight End. Their defensive line is in shambles as
their top rated lineman is an 83 at DT in Danny
Shelton. The signing of A.J. Hawk didn't do much to
help this linebacking corps who are all rated 79 and
lower. Vontae Davis is the lone bright spot in the
secondary as right now they only have three
cornerbacks. These guys are a mess, and it's going
to be a shock if they even win a single game. I
would do anything i can to get a young, talented QB
in here to build around.. someone like Andrew Luck?
Jacksonville
Jaguars - Coach Leetpenith
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Jacksonville Jaguars (16-0)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 52-13
(.800)
Team's Overall Record: 291-281 (.509)
The Jaguars and coach Leet are back after an
undefeated 16-0 regular season. Extremely
impressive. However, like the Seahawks in Season 35,
they fell short in the playoffs and were knocked out
by the eventual Champion Bills. The Jaguars did not
lose a single player to free-agency, think about
that for a minute. Everyone is signed. However, they
did gain an incredible cornerback in Josh Norman.
The Jaguars offensive line is probably the weakest
part of the team. 84, 79, 85, 89, and 72. I believe
their backup center will be placed at right tackle,
making things a little bit more solid, but their
line really isn't that bad, so if that's the weakest
part of the team.. yikes. Blake Bortles is back
after his qasi MVP win on the console (Charles was
league MVP). However Leet has been dangling Bortles
on the trade market, wanting to start the newly
signed Tim Tebow for some reason, so Bortles can't
be happy about that. Corey Grant is back in the
backfield, being the worst rated runningback that
gains 1500 yards a season. He's rated a 68 but has
96 speed, and that's all that matters sometimes. WR
Calvin Johnson leads a very good receiving corps,
along with Robinson, Hurns, and Stills. Tight End
Julius Thomas rated a 90 along with Marcedes Lewis
(81) gives these guys two solid options there as
well. Their defensive line, also very solid with
Tamba Hali, Dante Fowler Jr., and Roy Miller at DT.
Strong linebackers in Telvin Smith (86), Paul
Posluszny (82) and Dan Skuta (80) makes their front
7 very good. Josh Norman completes their strong
defense adding to probably the only weakness they
had on defense. Sergio Brown at SS and the newly
signed Tony Jefferson rounds up the safety positions
and these guys are ready to roll. Coach Leet is one
of the best coaches in the game, and with this team
getting better adding Josh Norman, makes them even
more dangerous. They can't be any better than they
were last season and they didn't lose anything.
Tennessee
Titans - Coach MrRoclo
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Tennessee Titans (4-12)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 106-97
(.522)
Team's Overall Record: 283-291 (.493)
The Titans did not have a bounce back season that we
thought he would as he finished (4-12). However, the
draft pick of Bradley Lewis was compensation of the
awful season. The Titans also signed K'Waun Williams
and Ahtyba Rubin. In addtion they drafted CB
Taukei Lucas who should be a blue chipper as well.
They did trade Jason McCourty to the Steelers for
cap space and draft picks as well. The Titans
offensive line is pretty decent, with no one under
an 80 on the starting 5. The 89 rated LT Taylor
Lewan is the brightest spot on the team only 26
years old. Marcus Mariota is the QB of this team,
and if he can stay healthy, is very dangerous back
there with his 88 speed. Dri Archer is the starting
back rated at 73, but has a 96 speed, as we
mentioned before, speed matters. Green-Beckham is
the #1 WR on the team rated at 85, and Kendall
Wright is a solid #2. Dorin Dickerson looks like the
starting TE with newly signed David Ausberry backing
him up. The defensive line is as solid as you can
be, with Derrick Morgan, Jurrell Casey, and Terrance
Knighton on the starting line. Their linebackers are
also very solid with Avery Williamson (90), Mychal
Kendricks (89), and Brian Orakpo (87). The loss of
McCourty hurts but the signing of K'waun Williams
will make that hurt less. Huff and Searcy round out
the safety position. Their secondary is a little
weaker than the rest of the defense, but i do like
this team. They are a solid group, and if Roclo can
get it together, i wouldn't be shocked if they
challenged Houston for 2nd place in the division.
FINAL ANALYSIS: AFC SOUTH
This is the Jaguars division to lose, no doubt. Coming off an undefeated
season, it's kind of hard to bet against him. I
don't think he goes undefeated again, since that's
extremely difficult. I do expect Houston to really
challenge for a wild-card spot, and Tennessee could
shock some people. The Colts might be the worst team
in the MOF this season.
AFC WEST
Denver
Broncos - Coach CheeferD
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Denver Broncos (12-4)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 124-86
(.590)
Team's Overall Record: 303-271 (.528)
The Broncos looked like they were in trouble early
last season, as they started 2-3. After that they
went 10-1 and finished 12-4. Of course you have to
take into consideration their final 5 games were
forfeit wins, which is crazy, never the less they
finished 12-4. They lost DeMarcus Ware to
retirement, as well as LG Evan Mathis. They didn't
really do much other than sign the best receiver on
the market in Michael Floyd but they basically have
the same team coming back. The offensive line of
Denver is hurting a bit. The best lineman on the
team is rated an 83 at LT, other than that we have
80, 67, 76, and 73 on the line. Not very good.
BARROCCKKK Osweiler is coming back as the starter
rated an 80 with 95 throw power. He can make any
throw, but he will throw picks. C.J. Anderson is
back in the backfield for the Broncos, and he's had
himself two great seasons in a row, looking to make
it three. The receiving corps of this team is crazy
good. D. Thomas (95), E. Sanders (87) and now
Michael Floyd at (85). Don't forget about Bennie
Fowler who has a 93 speed. Cheef has been trying to
trade Fowler, with no bites. Virgil Green will be
the starting TE in Denver rated an 82. The defensive
line has a hole where Ware used to be, but they
still have Malik Jackson. Von Miller leads the
linebackers, as more a hybrid DE/LB but rated a 99
overall regardless. Don't forget about Brandon
Marshall (MLB) rated an 86 overall. Their corners
are also extremely good, Chris Harris (96) and Aqib
Talib (88) with Bradley Roby in the nickel position
rated an 82. TJ Ward and Darian Stewart round out
the safeties in this impressive secondary. The
Broncos strength is their defense, no doubt about
that. They can play man, zone, blitz uncontrollably
and shatter your offense. That alone will win them
double digit games.
Kansas
City Chiefs - Coach Pauly2110
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Kansas City Chiefs (14-2)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 289-159
(.645)
Team's Overall Record: 290-265 (.523)
Another season another failed attempt at a
championship. Each season Coach Pauly becomes more
and more frustrated that he cannot win the big one.
289 regular season wins, 4 super bowl appearances,
and zero championships. It has to be weighing heavy.
Regardless, another solid season for Coach Pauly's
Chiefs last season as they went 14-2. They didn't
lose any significant players, and wound up trading
for a solid LT in Lane Johnson. Their entire
offensive line is very good to be honest, no
starters are lower than an 80 on that line. Alex
Smith is back at QB and is as accurate of a QB as
you can have for Pauly. Absolutely perfect for that
west coast style offense that he runs. Jamaal
Charles is one year older and his speed has taken a
hit, now rated down at 89, but he is still a 93
overall. Jeremy Maclin and Hakeem Nicks are back at
WR for Pauly's Chiefs as Travis Kelce sits at TE the
#1 target for Smith. The defensive line of the
Chiefs is very good with Jaye Howard (85), Allen
Bailey (85), and Dontari Poe (93). Justin Houston
has been one of the best linebackers in the MOF and
is now rated a 98. Derrick Johnson will be backed up
by newly signed Demeco Ryans. Also Aldon Smith is
back for another season under Pauly at ROLB. Their
two corners are also very good, in Marcus Peters and
Sean Smith. Eric Berry is back at FS (90), and Ron
Parker rounds it out at SS (78). Pauly could use a
strong safety to replace Parker, but it really
doesn't matter with him. He's a tactical genius. The
"Coach" of the MOF. He knows ins and outs, and will
scout you to the point of knowing what you will do
before you know. I expect Pauly to win this division
once again, and maybe take that next step and win
the whole thing!
Oakland Raiders

Sweettaz1
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Oakland Raiders (5-11)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 5-11
(.313)
Team's Overall Record: 283-276 (.506)
Coach Sweettaz1 made his MOF debut last season right
before we began the season. He had some bright spots
in his 5 victories, including a come from behind win
over Commish's Falcons. His offseason was very
involved. Losing Latavius Murray, Justin Tuck and
RG3. But they signed the top rated free-agent in
Fletcher Cox. They also signed Barry Church and
Keith Rivers. The offensive line of the Raiders is
hurting at LT and that will really mean something if
they want to protect Derek Carr. C Rodney Hudson is
the top rated lineman at 91. They will need to
improve that line if they want to compete with KC
and Denver. Derek Carr is back as the starter, as an
88 rated QB. The loss of Murray was not addressed in
the off-season, they did sign a familiar name in
Darren McFadden but we're not sure if he will be the
starter with the three youngsters behind him.
Crabtree and Cooper round out a solid receiving
corps and Zach Miller provides a big target for
Derek Carr in the redzone and short yardage
situations. With the addition of Fletcher Cox, as we
mentioned above, it makes the defensive line very
strong with Dan Williams at DT. Khalil Mack was on
his way to Philadelphia but the trade was nixed by
league offices, so he will be staying in Oakland,
and that's probably a good thing because their other
linebackers are nothing to shake a stick at. Their
cornerbacks are hurting with the top guy rated a 78
in Miguel Carey. Barry Church was a much needed
signing as their top rated secondary player. The
secondary of the Raiders is not very good, they will
really have to mix up their schemes to stop KC and
Denver. That will prevent them from taking a giant
leap forward this season.

The San Diego Chargers welcomed coach Mrosado11 in Week 17 as their
new head coach. They were one of the busiest teams
in the offseason, with trades, and signings. Coach
Mrosado did his best to improve this team as much as
he possibly could. They traded Brandon Spikes and
Ladarius Green but got back DeSean Stills and Ben
Benwikere. They also signed Tavon Austin and Dee
Milliner. They also had one of the best drafts out
of any team, with the pick of LB Duane Byers. The
offensive line of the Chargers is very weak at
center, 69 overall, and that could provide a big
problem. Other than that, they are solid 80's
everywhere else. The signing of QB David Fales,
might mean the end of Philip Rivers who's 35 years
young, and has an 88 throw power. I expect that to
be an open competition up until opening kickoff.
Melvin Gordon will be the feature back in the
backfield, with Kenjon Barner backing him up. The
addition of Austin and Stills will help Keenan Allen
who's one of the better receivers in the league.
Dwayne Allen is the starting TE and is a beast. The
defensive line of the Chargers is also very good,
with Attaochu (88), Ingram (86), and Liuget (89).
The speed of the linebacking corps, is also very
impressive. The slowest guy on the linebacking team
is at 79. Duane Byers, as mentioned above, is a blue
chipper rated 86 with 85 speed. Jason Verrett heads
the corners rated an 86, Brandon Flowers also rated
an 81 still has it at 31 years old. Eric Weddle
although he was on the block, is rated a 93 and
still starting at FS. The Chargers will be an
interesting team this season, they have alot of
talent and speed, which is what coach Mrosado
obviously was going for, but will that translate to
a winning team? We will have to wait and see.
FINAL ANALYSIS: AFC WEST
Again, the Chiefs are the favorites in the west with
Denver having the best defense. These two teams will
be right there when its said and done. The Chargers
roster is pretty good, but we don't know much about
the coach, so that always makes it tough to predict
how his team is going to fair. The Raiders can
score, but they cannot stop anyone, so that will end
up being their demise.
NFC EAST
Dallas
Cowboys - Coach Jdidd
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Dallas Cowboys (7-9)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 65-77
(.458)
Team's Overall Record: 307-263 (.539)
Coach Jdidd had a down season after a great Season 35. We didn't
see that coming. Now with the loss of Tony Romo,
they are scrambling to find a replacement at QB.
They also traded Greg Hardy for an aging Adrian
Peterson, in a questionable move. They also lost RT
Doug Free to retirement, and FS J.J. Wilcox. They
did sign Reggie Nelson to replace Wilcox, and Geno
Smith to compete for the starting job. The offensive
line of the Cowboys is absolutely disgusting. Tyron
Smith is a 99, La'el Collins is an 88, Travis
Frederick is a 91, Charles Brown an 80, and Zack
Martin a 99. That alone will win them games. QB is a
big problem here, they drafted Reid Robinson, who
will compete with Geno Smith, but this is going to
be an issue for Dallas. Adrian Peterson looks like
he will finish his career here in Dallas, and behind
that line we might be able to see a resurgence
season. Dez Bryant is obviously Dez Bryant, and
Terrence Williams is a nice #2. Malcolm Lewis will
be the tight end rated at 85. Defensive line is
average at best for Dallas, with Randy Gregory off
two monster seasons in a row starting at LE. Sean
Lee was moved to ROLB, for Rolando McClain at MLB a
few seasons ago, and that was the smart move.
Orlando Scandrick is the top corner on the team
rated an 87 and the signing of Reggie Nelson was
huge with the loss of Wilcox, Sean Samuels rounds
out at SS. The Cowboys are solid at alot of
positions, but QB where it matters, is bad. It will
really damper their progress but i still think they
could be the 2nd best team in the division.
New
York Giants - Coach TheTootsieRoll ®
Coach's Last Full Season: Rookie
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 3-9 (.250)
Team's Overall Record: 296-273-1 (.520)
The Giants made his debut last season when he took over for Coach
DC. He finished with a 3-9 record, and the Giants
finished 3-13 overall. They lost their cornerstone
at QB, Eli Manning to retirement. Then they traded
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie to the Vikings for
Jerick McKinnon. They also drafted Derek Phillip and
signed RG3 to take over for Eli. The offensive line
of the Giants, isn't that bad, kind of average. They
obviously will be putting a LT at RT, since they
have a 58 rated RT. Other than that, nothing great
and nothing bad on the line. As we mentioned above,
they lost Eli Manning so they're going to have a lot
of issues at QB. I expect Phillip to be the guy
since they drafted him, and RG3 and Nassib to back
him up. McKinnon was a big trade for the G-men, he
should start from Week 1 with Jennings and Vereen
backing him up in a pretty solid backfield. Beckham
obviously is still a threat and Randle is a good #2.
Orson Charles will be the starting TE and that sums
up the offense. Defensive line is above average for
big blue as Ayers, Sheldon Richardson, and Hankins
man up the positions. The linebacking corps is a
little weak with Devon Kennard the top rated guy at
an 82. Nico Johnson will be the MLB, and JT Thomas
will be at ROLB. The loss of DRC hurts a bit, but
they still have Amukamara and signed Antwan Cox.
Antonio Cromartie is the starter at SS, we think,
and that could be an issue. The defense is hurting a
bit on this team, the linebackers and secondary is
below average, and the QB is a big question mark.
That will really hamper their season, given a
surprise, these guys will struggle.
Philadelphia
Eagles - Bengalsonly7
Coach's Last Full Season:
Season 36 Philadelphia Eagles (6-10)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 6-10 (.375)
Team's Overall Record: 271-300 (.475)
The Eagles come into the season with Coach Bengalsonly7 who
finished 6-10 last season. They were 6-6 then lost 4
in a row which put them under for good, but they
look to be ready this season. They did lose two big
pieces of their team in LT Lane Johnson and RE
Fletcher Cox, both rated in the 90s. They did sign
SS Reshad Jones away from Miami, and traded for
Percy Harvin. The Eagles offensive line is hurting,
the loss of Lane Johnson was never addressed when
they traded him to KC. So right now, they have a 73
rated LT. Their LG is their top rated lineman at 83
and other than that, we have 70 rated guys all over
the place, this will be an issue going up against
Dallas and Washington's pass rushers. Ryan Tannehill
is the starting QB still, and his numbers were not
very impressive last season with 18 TD and 25 INT.
Ryan Matthews is a solid back, but was almost traded
in the off-season for Khalil Mack, a trade that fell
through in the league offices. They signed RB Roy
Helu who might get some looks as well. Jordan
Matthews and Percy Harvin lead the receivers and
Jordan Cameron is the starting TE. The loss of
Fletcher Cox opened up a spot and they signed
Charles Johnson away from Carolina to replace him.
They still have Brandon Graham and Bennie Logan and
Cedric Thornton at DT. Their linebackers are solid
84's and above with Woodyard, Alonso, and Connor
Barwin. Their secondary is in shambles, besides
Reshad Jones, not a single player at CB or FS is
rated above a 78. Their secondary and offensive line
is not very good at all, and that will keep them
from winning alot of games. They need to figure out
a better option at QB as well, since Tannehill is
not getting the job done.
Washington
Redskins - Coach NYRedskins35
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Washington Redskins (11-5)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 261-122 (.681)
Team's Overall Record: 345-229 (.601)
Coach Betts is officially back. Betts made his
record 7th Super Bowl last season, falling short for
the 3rd time. These guys made big trades in the
off-season, acquiring C.J. Mosely and Greg Hardy,
wow. They lost Adrian Peterson, but they have Tevin
Coleman waiting in the wings. The Redskins improved
greatly to an already very good team. Their
offensive line is headed by Trent Williams who is a
95 LT. Left guard and right tackle are a weakness on
this team, as they are rated 74 and 76. Other than
that they are pretty solid in the line. Kirk Cousins
is back at the Qb spot, and had a very good season
36 with 37 TDs and 19 Ints, i expect another solid
season from him. Tevin Coleman who was acquired from
Atlanta last off-season will be the starter with the
trade of Adrian Peterson, and the return of Matt
Jones will spell Coleman. DeSean Jackson is the
reigning MOF NFC MVP and will look to dominate once
again. The signing of Coradelle Patterson also helps
the offense. Jordan Reed is a very solid option at
TE and will cause alot of mismatches. The defensive
line is hurting a bit at DT, but i expect Betts to
figure something out with the line before too long,
but the addition of Greg Hardy is a game changer.
Their linebackers are out of this world, with Ryan
Kerrigan (90), Denario Mack (85) and , C.J. Mosely
(91). Their corner backs are a little weak, with
Adam Jones the 33 year old being the #1 guy. Their
safeties are solid with the addition of Wilcox. The
Redskins are the best team in the division, with the
least amount of holes. Their secondary is a bit weak
and that could hurt them, but with all the QB issues
in this division, it might not matter much.
FINAL ANALYSIS: NFC EAST
This is the Redskins division. Romo and Eli both
retired, and Tannehill just isnt very productive.
Kirk Cousins is the best QB in this division couple
that with Betts being the best coach, spells another
division crown for the MOF Hall of Famer. I expect
Dallas to figure it out and finish 2nd and maybe
compete for a wild-card, and the Giants and Eagles
to struggle.
NFC NORTH
Chicago
Bears - Coach Natureboy
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Chicago Bears (5-11)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 16-34 (.320)
Team's Overall Record: 333-239-1 (.582)
The Bears had a very nice draft but didn't do too much in the
off-season to improve this team. They lost Jay
Cutler, but drafted Zach Woodson. They also lost
Tight End Martellus Bennett and RB Matt Forte.
Center Will Montgomery retired as well. Nature boy
struggled a bit last season, finishing 5-11 but they
got younger and that was what they wanted to do.
Getting rid of Cutler and Forte sent a statement to
the rest of the team. The offensive line of the
Bears is solid, not great but not bad. LT will need
to be improved upon, since there is a 78 rated guy
starting. Rookie QB Zach Woodson looks to be the
starter going into the season with Brian Hoyer being
the backup. We don't know much about Woodson, except
that he's from M. Valley St. The Bears have speedy
runningbacks in Dunbar, Langford, and Taiwan Jones
which is better than what they had in Forte. Alshon
Jeffrey is still a beast at WR rated a 95. Kevin
White comes in at #2 with a 94 speed. Their TE is a
little weak in 31 year old Fred Davis with Joseph
Fauria waiting in the wings. Pernell McPhee heads
the defensive line, rated a 97 overall. Also Nick
Perry on the other side is rated a 92, very solid
one two punch. The linebackers are a bit weak, with
the highest rated guy being a 82 in Sean Witherspoon
and James-Michael Johnson. Kyle Fuller is rated an
82 as the #1 CB, and other than that the secondary
doesnt crack anyone over an 80. Their secondary is
the weakest part of the team no doubt. Linebackers
aren't very strong either. That with a rookie QB
leaves a lot of question marks for the Bears who did
get younger and a bit faster, but that doesn't
always mean wins.
Detroit
Lions - Coach Jiggajp2121
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Detroit Lions (11-5)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 37-59 (.385)
Team's Overall Record: 296-279 (.515)
Coach JP is coming off his best season in his MOF
career as he won the NFC North with an 11-5 record.
The Lions also made some great moves in the
off-season, grabbing Tight End Martellus Bennett
from the Bears, trading for Brandon Spikes, and
signing RG Louis Vazquez and RB Johnathan Stewart.
They did lose WR Desean Stills, Stephen Tulloch and
Geno Smith. Also Antonio Gates as expected, retired.
The offensive line of the Lions is average, they
have an 85 rated LT, which is solid but a 74 rated
LG, 79 rated Center, and 84 and 80 on the right
side. It will get the job done. Daryl Barker is back
in his sophmore season rated at an 89 with a 93
speed, for a QB that is just unfair. Lamar Miller is
coming off a huge season and will be back in the
backfield for Detroit and backing him up with
Stewart is a great 1 / 2 punch for these guys. TY
Hilton is back after his season ending injury and
will be the guy they go to. Tate and Moncrief round
out a very solid receiving corps. Of course as we
mentioned before, Bennett will be the starting TE
rated at 92. Ezekiel Ansah is a 99 rated RE and he
will cause alot of damage to opposing teams. Don't
forget about Haloti Ngata rated a 90 at DT. The
trade for Brandon Spikes washes out the loss of
Tulloch, and DeAndre Levy makes this linebacking
corps very good. Joe Haden and Darius Slay are at
corner, and Quin and Ihedigbo are at safety rounding
out a very solid secondary. This team is solid
everywhere, and i believe are the best team in the
division rating wise. They made some great
off-season moves and will be ready to defending the
division title.
Green
Bay Packers - Coach Trigrdan
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Green Bay Packers (10-6)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 218-174 (.556)
Team's Overall Record: 271-302 (.473)
Trigrdan always finds a way to make the post-season
as he won 10 games again last season. The Packers
lost some key parts to their team in Kuhn, Jones,
Hyde and Raji and they didn't really replace those
guys with solid answers. However they did sign
Stephen Tulloch, Delaine Walker, and drafted Deveon
Lewis and Risean Anthony. The Packers oline is
pretty solid, everywhere but LT. They have a 22 year
old 78 rated guy who will most likely get the start,
but that could spell some issues especially going up
against someone line Ansah. Other than that, they
are very good with 88, 80, 88, and 80 at LG, C, RG,
RT. Aaron Rodgers is back in the prime of his career
rated a 99 overall, and you really cannot get much
better than him. Eddie Lacy will be the starter once
again, and although he's not very fast, he's solid
between the tackles and had a huge season 36. Jordy
Nelson, Randall Cobb and James Jones prove to be
excellent targets for Rodgers as well as Delaine
Walker at TE. The loss of Datone Jones at LE hurts
but the draft pick of Risean Anthony will be
grooming to replace him. Mike Daniels is an
underrated RE at 96 overall. Linebackers are pretty
good as well, with Junior Galette, Clay Matthews,
and Stephen Tulloch heading the position. Sam
Shields and Damarious Randall are the 1 and 2 CB's
on the team, and Clinton-Dix and Burnett round out
the safeties. Defensive line is hurting a bit, but
other than that there are no real weak points on
this team. There's not a lot of speed on offense,
but that doesn't matter when you have someone like
Aaron Rodgers quarterbacking your team. I wouldn't
be shocked to see Green Bay upset Detroit and win
the division.
Minnesota
Vikings - Coach Krayzie300
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Minnesota Vikings (3-13)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 123-176
(.411)
Team's Overall Record: 236-333-3 (.415)
It's wonderful to see Coach Krayzie300 back in the
MOF and with his Minnesota Vikings! Although he had
a tough season going 3-13 he's happy to be back.
They traded Jerick McKinnon, in a questionable move
but did get back DRC. They also signed Giovani
Bernard to take the place of Mckinnon, so that could
be viewed as a wash. The signing of David Harris and
Alan Branch were big ones for the defense as well.
We start with the o-line, which is a little under
average. LT Matt Kalil is the best lineman they have
rated an 85. John Sullivan is the next best lineman,
at center, rated 84. Other than that, we have 70's
everywhere. Teddy Bridgewater is back at QB and
rated an 88, very solid QB and ready to break out.
Bernard is the starting back now that they traded
McKinnon with Ratliff backing him up. Stefon Diggs
is the #1 WR rated an 82, and other than that they
are a bit weak at WR. The draft pick of Morgan
Gordon at TE was very good, but Kyle Rudolph we
believe will still be the starter at TE. Their
defensive line is the shining spot of the team with
Griffen (93), Floyd (92), and Joseph (90) starting.
Anthony Barr at LOLB and rated a 90 is great, with
David Harris and Courtney Upshaw the other starters.
Their two CB's are also very good with DRC and
Xavier Rhodes. Harrison Smith at FS (97 overall)
arguably is the best at his position in the league.
The defense of this team is the strong point,
obviously, with some incredible talent. The offense
could use some help, and that will be what holds
them back. But i expect some upsets along the way
because of that D.
FINAL ANALYSIS:
NFC NORTH
It's a two team race in my opinion with the Lions
and Packers. Their head to head games will determine
the division champion. I expect the Vikings and
Bears to get some wins but i really dont see them as
a threat in this division.
NFC SOUTH
Atlanta
Falcons - Coach Commissioner Jeff
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Atlanta Falcons (8-8)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 293-232 (.558)
Team's Overall Record: 272-301-1 (.475)
Commish had yet another average season finishing
8-8. However this was a different route to 8-8. They
started 1-5 and finished the season 7-3 after they
found out their weaknesses. The Falcons had a very
good offseason as they traded for Darrelle Revis and
Greg Olsen. They also signed Matt Forte and Brent
Celek. They did lose Vernon Davis, David Harris, and
traded Justin Durant. Their offensive line is above
average, with Jake Matthews at LT, Andy Levitre at
LG, Samson Satele at C, Jon Asamoah at RG, and Ryan
Schrader at RT. Matt Ryan is back at QB and is
another year older but is a solid option at QB.
Devonta Freeman is a very good back only at 25 years
old and rated an 88. Matt Forte is the secondary
back and will be a very nice 2nd option. Julio Jones
is arguably the best receiver in the MOF, and with
the emergence of second year player BJ Taylor the
Falcons have a nice receiving corps. Greg Olsen was
a huge addition to the offense, as Brent Celek will
be a solid #2 TE. Defensive line is solid, with Vic
Beasley (92) at LE, Clayborn at RE, and Hageman at
DT. The loss of Durant hurts a bit, but they are
ready with young talented LB's in Andrew Cole, Paul
Worrilow, the speedy Malcolm Smith, and Brooks Reed.
The 1 and 2 CB's could be the best tandem in the MOF
with Revis and Trufant. Couple that with Jairus Byrd
and Kemal Ishmael, the secondary is the strongest
part of this team. The defense is solid, the offense
is solid. They don't have many weak spots, now it's
just up to the coach to execute and these guys could
really make a move this season.
Carolina
Panthers - Coach
WLJones228
®
Coach's Last Full Season: Rookie
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 0-1 (.000)
Team's Overall Record: 271-302-1 (.473)
The Panthers signed coach WLJones228 and we've been
hearing an awful lot of praise about this coach who
comes from alot of other different leagues where he
had success with the Panthers. The Panthers are
WLJones' favorite team, and you know our motto here,
if you're playing with your favorite team it makes
you a dangerous coach. The offseason was very
interesting for the Panthers, as they traded Josh
Norman and Greg Olsen. They also lost Charles
Johnson, Thomas Davis, and Johnathan Stewart to name
a few. They ddi sign Jabaal Sheard, and traded for
Ladairus Green. They also had a very good draft
grabbing Damond Hill, Denadre Forrest, and Taz
Gibson. The offensive line is not very strong for
the Panthers, despite an 88 rated center, and 93
rated RG, they are weak at the tackles, this could
prove costly. Cam Newton obviously is a star at QB,
and with the history of WLJones we expect a huge
year out of him. It looks like Forrest might be the
starter at RB, but we wouldnt be shocked to see
Raheem Mostert still get the call, since he has a 93
speed. Kelvin Benjamin is the #1 WR and other than
that, there's not much to mention. The trade for
Ladarius Green was a nice one as they are able to
put a speedy TE on the field. Kawann Short at DT
rated 93 is the leader of the D-line, and the pick
of Damond Hill will replace Charles Johnson. The
signing of Jabaal Sheard also makes this d-line very
good. The linebackers are very speedy, with Shaq
Thompson, Luke Kuechly, and Jordan Hicks all over 80
in that category. Their corners are a weak
spot, with the loss of Josh Norman they didnt really
address that in free-agency. The draft pick of Taz
Gibson will have to come through as he is now the #1
CB. The safeties will be Tre Boston and Heston Dean.
The secondary is a weak spot, but other than that
this team is pretty solid everywhere. It's hard to
predict how a rookie will do in his first season,
but alot of the league believe he could do some big
things in Carolina.
New
Orleans Saints - Coach
Dtroitfan
®
Coach's Last Full Season: Rookie
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: Rookie
Team's Overall Record: 309-263 (.540)
The
Saints are on their 3rd coach in 3 seasons, this
time its Coach Dtroitfan. We don't know anything
about Dtroitfan, we do know alot about the Saints.
They are explosive, and they made some moves in the
off-season. They signed FS Tyrann Mathieu, which was
the biggest contract we've ever seen given out, 7
years 174 million. They also signed DT Brockers, RB
Alfred Morris, and drafted WR Jason Riley. They
traded Max Unger, their center, and lost Mark
Ingram, Brian Quick, and Jahri Evans. The line of
the Saints is hurting a bit with the loss of Evans
and Unger, but they still have Terron Armstead and
Tim Lelito, other than that everyone else is ranked
in the 70s. Obviously Drew Brees is still a
phenomenal QB rated 89 at 38 years old. Thomas Rawls
is the fastest RB on the roster, but we're not sure
if he's going to start or if it will be Alfred
Morris, don't count out Branden Oliver either.
Brandin Cooks is an absolute threat in every sense
of the word, as the #1 WR of the Saints. Also the
signing of Jason Riley, gives these guys some
serious speed at WR. It also looks like Toilolo will
be the starting TE. Defensive end Cameron Jordan is
a beast rated 97, and Michael Brockers as we
mentioned before is rated an 86. Their linebackers
aren't a strong point, as they do have speed, but
overalls aren't that wonderful. Peters (81), Anthony
(81), and Duncan (82). The corners of the Saints are
a little weak as well, with the top guy being a 81
overall in Janoris Jenkins. Tyrann Mathieu we all
thought was going to be moved to CB, but it looks
like he's staying at FS. Along with Kenny Vaccaro at
SS, their safeties are very good. The Saints are a
good team, they are fast, all over the field. Cooks
and Riley are speedsters and going to be very hard
to guard them. We don't know anything about Coach
Dtroitfan and that will be the only reason we don't
predict them to win this division.
Tampa
Bay Buccaneers - Coach Jfon
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-8)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 163-171 (.488)
Team's Overall Record: 276-283 (.494)
The Buccaneers
are back with Coach Jfon, and another 8-8 finish.
Just like the Falcons, these guys are looking to
take the next step forward. With two rookies in the
division, this is the time to do it. The draft pick
of Max Williams will prove to be a big one, and the
addition of LB Justin Durant, and Jay Cutler should
help out. The loss of Vincent Jackson to retirement,
along with Richie Incognito and Brandon Weeden was a
solid loss as well. The offensive line of the bucs
is rated very low, with the highest guy at RG in Ali
Marpet (87), the next highest rated lineman is a 79.
Jameis Winston is the head of the offense once
again, and Jay Cutler will be his backup. Doug
Martin is the starting RB and Charles Sims looks to
spell Martin when needed. Mike Evans is one of the
most solid WR's in the MOF, and the draft pick of
Max Williams, as we mentioned before will be a big
addition to the offense. Austin Seferian-Jenkins at
Tight End is something we all need to keep our eyes
on, he's very good and underrated. The defensive
line of the Bucs is also very good, with Vinny Curry
(89), and Gerald McCoy (97) as the two beasts.
Justin Durant was a nice addition from Atlanta at
LOLB along with Levonte David at ROLB. Alterraun
Verner and Reggie Murray provide a good solid 1 / 2
at CB. But safety isn't a strong suit for Tampa as
they start a 79 and 77 at those positions. The
Buccaneers have a solid team. The offensive line and
secondary would be their weakest points, but Jfon
knows what he's doing with these guys. I expect them
to have a very good season and give a push for
wild-card.
FINAL ANALYSIS: NFC SOUTH
This division features two rookies, and that could
go either way. Either they are both juggernauts, or
they are both average. We just don't know. That's
why we have to go with the most talented team in the
division, and we believe that's the Falcons. The
Bucs are also going to be a tough team to deal with.
The Panthers we know he can score, but he also turns
the ball over alot. And the Saints, we just dont
know anything about him.
NFC WEST
Arizona
Cardinals - Coach Hovadagod_23
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Arizona Cardinals (3-13)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 77-182 (.297)
Team's Overall Record: 222-350 (.388)
The Cardinals are an absolute mess. They lost so
much talent it's just incredible. Tyrann Mathieu
could have been resigned, but they decided to let
him go. Carson Palmer and Larry Fitzgerald both
retired. Then they lost Calais Campbell and Michael
Floyd as well. They currently only have 39 players
on their roster, and i dont know what they're going
to do to fill those spots. The left side of their
offensive line is very good, 94 and 99 rated.
However their center is rated a 65, that's going to
be an issue. They drafted a QB in the draft,
Jamerson Collins who will get the start, and
hopefully he can make a difference. Mark Ingram is
the top rated RB as they just picked him up from
Philadelphia. David Johnson might get the start
though. John Brown is the top rated WR at an 85,
other than that they are weak at that spot. Jermaine
Gresham is also a solid TE rated at 86. Their
defensive line is atrocious with no one rated over a
77. Their linebackers, also very poor with no one
higher than a 75. They have Patrick Peterson at CB,
nothing more than that. And they have Antonio Allen
and Deone Bucannon at safeties. These guys are
hurting, as you can see. They need to fill their
roster, and improve it, which i dont think they can
do with just free-agents. I would start shopping
Patrick Peterson for some picks or a package of
players.
St.
Louis Rams - Coach SoSickin432
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 St. Louis Rams (5-11)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 5-11 (.313)
Team's Overall Record: 275-300 (.478)
Coach SoSickin is ready for his sophomore campaign
as he finished 5-11 with the Rams last season. Tough
season and a very tough division is cause for their
record. They didn't do much in the off-season,
except draft 3 pretty good players. They did lose
Brockers, Chris Long, Tavon Austin, and Stedman
Bailey, which is a lot to lose for a 5-11 team.
Their offensive line has a lot of below average
players, after Greg Robinson at LT, they are no
players rated above 78. Zac Parker looks to be the
starting QB once again, with Nick Foles as the
backup. Which isn't very appealing. Todd Gurley will
be the man once again, probably getting 75 to 80% of
the offensive touches. Kenny Britt is the #1 WR in a
lackluster receiving corps that lost Austin and
Bailey in the off-season. Jared Cook is the starting
TE which should be the #2 target after Gurley.
LeVeon Morgan was drafted to replace Chris Long, and
was a very nice pick. Robert Quinn is a 99 rated RE
and Aaron Donald is a 99 rated DT, that's just
unfair for opposing offensive lines. Their
linebackers are also very good with Ogletree,
Laurinaitis, and Russell. Their corners are average
with EJ Gaines and Erick Hubbard as the 1 and 2.
McLeod and McDonald round out the safety positions.
The Rams have some question marks on offense, but
their defense is extremely impressive. Their front
seven could compete with anyone, and in this
division that could help.
San
Francisco 49ers - Coach BigDre245
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 San Francisco 49ers (13-3)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 150-73 (.673)
Team's Overall Record: 316-258 (.551)
Coach Dre finished 13-3 last season, and had a huge
season. It was a bit overshadowed by Beast's 14-2
season, but it cannot be overlooked. The 49ers had a
decent off-season after losing Nick Folk to
retirement. They signed Dan Carpenter, who is a very
good veteran kicker. Also signed Kurt Coleman and
Eric Kendricks. The left side of their offensive
line is very strong with 85/87 rated LTs and LGs.
Their right side isnt as great, but they are average
to say the least. Sam Bradford looks to be the
starter once again, and he's a big below average as
Dre is looking to make some moves to upgrade that
position. Carlos Hyde is the starter once again, and
is a very strong back. Casey Guy was drafted as a
speed guy, so we might see some of him too. Brandon
Marshall is back and a year older but still a very
good #1. DeVante Parker is their slot guy and speed
guy and will be a threat once again. Their tight
ends are very good too, with Craig Stevens and Vance
McDonald. Don't forget the signing of Ed Dickson
too. Their defensive line is hurting a little, with
their highest rated guy an 81 in Ian Williams.
Linebackers are good, with Novorro Bowman, Eric
Kendricks, and Aaron Lynch. Their corners are pretty
weak, and they will need to upgrade that asap to
defend the Seahawks amongst others. Eric Rieid,
Bethea, and Kurt Coleman very good safeties. The
49ers are the 49ers, Coach Dre knows what he's doing
and will have these guys right there when its said
and done.
Seattle
Seahawks - Coach Beast10790
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Seattle Seahawks (14-2)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 145-56 (.721)
Team's Overall Record: 305-265-1 (.535)
Coach Beast is 30-2 in his last two regular seasons.
That is just incredible, he is the model of
consistency and his team is absolutely insane. The
addition of Paul Kruger, which they didnt even need,
was impressive as well. They lost Kevin Williams,
and Brandon Mebane so i'm sure they're going to look
to put Kruger at DT. Seattle's offensive line is
very very good, with 92, 91, 78, 85, and 84 as the
starters. Russell Wilson is a 95 rated QB, and they
drafted Ronald France who is coming into his rookie
season as an 80. I'm sure he will be shopped next
offseason. Marshawn Lynch is back for most likely
his last season, but CJ Spiller will be the starter
as he is just faster. Their receivers are the
weakest part of the team, and that's saying alot
because Kearse and Doug Baldwin are very good.
Durham, Lockett, and Richardson provide some speed
after the 1 and 2 WRs. Jimmy Graham is a 95 rated
TE, and had 17 touchdown catches last season. Their
defensive line looks like a fantasy team with
Bennett (94), Avril (93), Kruger (90). Their
linebackers, rated KJ Wright (91), Wagner (94), and
Irvin (88). Their corners, Sherman (94), Gilmore
(88), Thomas (96) at safety, and Duke Williams as an
(80). These guys are unfair to say the least. Beast
is arguably one of the best MOF Coaches of all time,
and he has easily the highest rated team in the MOF.
He's going to win alot of games.
FINAL ANALYSIS: NFC WEST
Seattle might go undefeated again, but it's kind of difficult to predict that.
I think its his division, and 49ers will definitely
be the 1st wild-card team. The Rams are just in a
tough division to compete, and the Cardinals could
lose every game..
