The 2012 Nostradamus Contest There is a game that my co-workers and I play where each of us make three predictions for the upcoming season. The winner usually takes a dollar but the fun is seeing your predictions come true. The rules are simple. Make three predictions as specific as you want. Of course, the more specific, the more pressure you put on yourself. Truthfully the game is more satisfying if you reach in your gut and pull out the boldest statement you can come up with. The winner is the person whose predictions have all come true, regardless of how many other participant's have come true. Also, you may, at any time, demand that a participant clarify their predictions whether to differientiate from your own predictions, or just to have the parameters of the prediction more clear. If you win, you have the privledge and honor of having the "2012 Nostradamas Contest Winner" title under your avatar. Here are my BOLD predictions which I actually have had since before the draft. 1. Sanchez will remain starter throughout the season. In fact, Sanchez will flourish under the new system and finish in the top ten using the traditional QB rating system. 2. Peyton Manning will not play the entire season and will struggle mightily in Denver. 3. RG3 will win rookie of the year. What are your predictions?
1. Tebow takes over the starting QB role by the bye week 2. Broncos make the playoffs off of Manning's steller season 3. Luck wins rookie of the year Note: I don't necessarily believe any of those things but just thought I'd do the complete opposite of you so one of us is bound to be right on something :smile:
1. New York Jets win the AFC EAST 2. Revis wins Defensive Player of the Year 3. DeMarco Murrary wins Rushing Title.
1. The Jets will be in the top 5 in field goal attempts. 2. Peyton Manning will retire after the 2012 season. 3. Trent Richardson wins rookie of the year.
1. Aaron Maybin racks up 12+ sacks and fans will still complain about him. 2. Bryan Thomas doesn't finish the season and the Jets defense continues to struggle setting the edge without him. 3. The Bears will play in the superbowl.
1. Tebow will have more passing yards than rushing yards this season. 2. Coples presence will increase the NYJ sack total from last season. 3. Jets will make the playoffs.
1.tebow replaces sanchez at one point in the season as a starter, but sanchez comes back and brings a top 5 QB preformance throught the end of the season and the play offs. 2.landry/bell gets hurt and lionheart replaces them at the end of the season on, stays healthy, and brings back our top 5 defense. 3.RG3 gets juxed out of his Roty title by luck from a small margin. SB prediction Jets VS 49ers
1) The Patriots miss the playoffs 2) tim tebow starts in place of Sanchez, in week 17 because the jets have locked up a playoff spot 3) Rex Ryan says nothing controversial to the media
1-Mark Sanchez will get hurt, Tebow will play well as his replacement, Sanchez will come back as the starter and play well, but we will miss the playoffs 2-Coples will have a bad rookie(Vernon Ghoston bad) and everyone will call him a bust 3-Santonio Holmes will lead te team in catches & reception yds and will be a pro bowler
... neither hunter nor vlad are our RT week 1 ... ... sanchez is #1 qb all season and solidly improves his game ... ... green flourishes under new blocking scheme ... 1200+ yds ... ... add in mcknight 3rd down runs & tebow runs ... ny jets lead the league in rushing ... ... coples has very solid impact as a rookie ... opening up sack numbers for lb's moreso than huge total on his own ... but respectable ... maybe 5 sacks for his season total ... ... jets and pats meet in post-season again ... (wait for it) ... ( wait for it) ... this time in the meadowlands ... with jets winning ... ... jets take home their first lombardi trophy since broadway joe ... l_j_r
1) S. Greene rushes for over 1300 yards qualifies for the pro bowl, Mcknight owns the 3rd down back title 2) M. Sanchez qualifies for the pro bowl 3) We have problems at Safety, but not at RT Btw I think NostrAdamus was a fraud lol
1. The jets and bills finish ahead of the pats in the AFCE. 2. Sanchez leads Jets to playoffs. 3. Quinton Coples wins defensive rookie of the year with double didget sacks.
1. sanchez throws over 30 touchdowns, and has 15 or less interceptions 2. shonn greene rushes over 1200 yards 3. sam bradford will have a 70 or less qbr
Pats win the AFCE Obama gets re-elected Bills will suck. The first two are 'cloudy', but the 3rd is a sure bet
1) Calvin Pace has 10+ sacks 2) AP has another season ending knee injury by commming back too soon 3) Davis is in the starting linup by week 8
1) Stephen Hill has 50+ catches and 8 TD's 2) Landry and Bell both miss 5+ games each 4) (Reach prediction) Hayden Smith starts opposite Dustin Keller in two TE formation and puts up a productive season.
