I think his point still stands, you're taking this WAY too seriously. It's meant to be fun, no need to get hurt if people are using their "Bold Prediction" to say that the Eagles won't make the playoffs/wont win a playoff game. That's why it's bold...because the Eagles made a run last year with a team that wasn't as good as this one, so saying they will miss the playoffs is a bold prediction.

And, truthfully, "prediction" is a better word for this thread. We know about the rosters/players/schedules/divisions, etc, therefore we're not making guesses. We're stating bold predictions based on what we think is going to happen given the factors surrounding the team.
