    Who's your disappointing team this year?

    I thought i'd pick up on slickdtc's question at the end of the darkhorse team thread and ask who's your disappointing team for 2012?

    I don't know if they count but it seems everybody in the media at least has high expectations for them but I think the Cowboys are in for a bad year. A lot of the players on the roster are on the wrong side of 30 and while Romo has been very good I think the defense just isn't consistent enough.

    As for a disappointing AFC team? I can't really think of one off the top of my head. I don't know how realistic some people's expectations of the Jets are but that team is headed for a huge fall. In fact, I could see Rex Ryan possibly losing his job at the end of the year.

    Pittsburgh.

    Between failing lines, aging stars and guys bitching over contracts, not to mention Ben's duct taped together body and the lack of any good RB, I don't see anyway they make it through the entire season.

    The NFC?

    Um, I guess I'll pick the 49ers, but they won't be disappointing, they'll be about 9-7. Alex Smith will come back down to earth and Gore will miss some time.

      It's hard to say disappointing. But I wouldn't be shocked if the Giants finished 3rd in the NFC East. I still think San Fran is the best team in the West, but I have them one and done in the play-offs if they don't host a game.

      Baltimore's defense is older and without Suggs early on I could see them slide back. Cincy could miss the play-offs. Until I see something different still don't like New Englands defense, but they have a lot of promising rookies. They could be one and done in the play-offs too.

                I got the Bucs. They broke the bank but I think it's gonna take a bit to gel together.

                I also see a major slump for the Bengals on the way. Very young team that was mor fortunate than good last season.

                  I don't think it's possible for a team that won 4 games last year can be considered disappointing (the Bucs).

                  I hate to say it but the Ravens are in this discussion. I'm not that worry about what the loss of Suggs will do to the defense (they should still be good enough to make the playoffs and he SHOULD be back by then). I'm worried about the offensive line. A lot is expected/needed of the offense and it will stall if the line can't pull together. The schedule is brutal too.

                  I also think Cincy will fall back record-wise. I think they'll be a better team this year but I think they overachieved a bit last year with the help of an easier schedule and a little luck.

                  In the NFC, the way the Cowboys are being pumped up AGAIN I have to say they'd be the one... again.

                    Are people expecting them to be good? Everything I've heard is that they're projected to finish last in the division lol.

                    Anywho, my picks are:

                    NFC: Falcons, 49ers, Lions

                    I think the 49ers are the only one in the group that may win their division. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Atlanta and Detroit both finish 3rd in their divisions and I think it'll be a tight race in the NFC West between San Fran and Seattle.

                    AFC: Broncos, Bills

                    Don't think the Broncos will win the division, and I think the Bills will finish 3rd in the division again, but we'll see. If Fitz plays as well as a friend of mine has said he's been looking at camp (he's been there every day), they can contend for a playoff spot, but I have little faith in Fitzy.

                      They were coming off a ten win playoff berth the year before so its fair to think they have optimism going into this year. Plus they signed a whole lotta pieces to plug up many holes. So Im sure everyone in that camp is ready to make big noise this season and I dont see it happening. If they are going into the year expecting bad things like some fans are expressing well, oh well to them. If I were Bucs fan anything less than 10 wins would be disappointing to me for what we(they) did in the offseason.

                      And I dont see the Ravens slump that some do. Guys make it sound like Suggs was the entire defense.

                        As a Bucs fan, I'm expecting around 7 wins this year. Most experts don't even expect them to do that. The defense is still a huge question mark. They looked dominant for a few weeks and then went straight to the ****ter once injuries set in, but it was like 2 games where they looked great. The other 14 games they looked like a bottom 5 defense.

                          NFC: 49ers

                          AFC: Pitt

                          Alot of Cincy's, just don't see it. One of my darkhourses to reach the AFC Championship goes as prediction wise is concerned.
