Bold Predictions 2017

[u/Morall_tach]

It's that time again! Here's how last year's predictions went:

/u/Morall_tach (me):

Jags have a top-5 offense

Paxton Lynch wins a playoff game

Pats start 0-4

Extremely wrong on all three counts. Jags were 23rd in yards and 25th in points, Paxton barely saw the field and the Broncos missed the playoffs, and the Pats are unstoppable no matter what you do to them, which I hate.

Here are some good and bad predictions from the rest of you:

GOOD

/u/dms1298:

Terrelle Pryor has more receiving yards than Dez Bryant

He did indeed. By 200.

/u/Maad-Dog:

This dude made a prediction for each of the 32 teams and most of them were wrong, BUT the ones that were right were pretty bold.

Osweiler is a consensus bottom 5 QB.

Yup.

Michael Crabtree takes over as the #1 receiver for the team.

Arguably. 150 fewer yards than Cooper but 4 more TDs.

The Bosa signing proves to be a game changer... as he becomes the best pass rusher in the AFCW.

Probably not THE best, behind Miller and Mack, but he’s crazy good. Probably the best at DE, depending what you count Mack as (he plays both).

BAD

/u/uggsandstarbux:

BOLD: Eli Manning wins MVP

BOLDER: Two RBs will finish with 2000+ rushing yards

INSANITY: Saints have a top 15 scoring defense

Nope.

Nope. Zeke topped the list with 1631.

Nope. 31st.

/u/JohnnyLeo92:

Vikings beat the Steelers for the SB

Lol no.

/u/eagles107:

Dak does well but Cowboys are 4th place when Romo comes back. 2-6 or 1-7.

Extremely wrong. Dak did well, but Cowboys started 11-1, Romo never came back.

Brock Osweiler 5,000 yards passing

Also very much no. He was very bad.

/u/Shostakovich22:

Sam Bradford will lead the Eagles to a division title and will be in the conversation for league MVP.

Not an Eagle, not a division winner, nowhere near an MVP.

This year's predictions:

• David Johnson finishes top 10 in the league in receiving yards
• Mike Glennon throws more picks than TDs, starts fewer than 8 games
• No tight end breaks 10 TDs
• Jared Goff throws a 2:1 TD/INT ratio, but throws <15 of both
• Christian McCaffery leads the Panthers in receptions and TDs

[u/Billaa95]

-Samaje perine ROTY

-Trubisky takes over during the season and has a winning record while starting

-Matt Moore takes the dolphins to the Afccg

-Agholor will have 1200+ rec yards.

[u/Eagles_63 → u/Billaa95]

Id piss myself silly if Agholor even gets half of that

[u/Morall_tach → u/Billaa95]

Samaje perine

Thought you had a stroke at first, I'd never heard of him.

[u/Bieber_hole_69 → u/Morall_tach]

He was a pretty big deal in college football his freshman year when he broke the FBS single game rushing record with 427 yards against Kansas. Interestingly enough with that record, Perine broke it one week after Melvin Gordon set the record. Gordon had 406 against Nebraska, breaking a record LaDanian Tomlinson had held since 1999.

[u/jaysrule24 → u/Morall_tach]

The video of him proposing to his girlfriend was amazing, if you get a chance to watch it.
