    Who will be the Cinderella team this year, JETS? CARDS? RAIDERS? CHARGERS? REDSKINS? FALCONS? BEARS? GIANTS? LIONS? who???????

    Who will be the Big Dissapointment? PATS? EAGLES? COWBOYS? PANTHERS? CHIEFS? TITANS? COLTS? RAMS? SEAHAWKS? RAVENS? who????????????

    1. FALCONS-If they stay healthy, consider them on the train into Januarary.

    2. PANTHERS-They're going to have a hard time if the rest of NFC south is healthy.
    tie TITANS-No Jevon No Eddie. If any big players get hurt consider it done.

    Giants are the suprise


    Cowboys will peak at 5 wins.........maybe 6 because of there lasck of offense ( lets get real EDDIE is done) Quincy is okay but cant arry a team and KeyShawn is a girl and wont get the ball. a D can only take u so far and there only a top 5

    The Redskins will be a cinderella story while the Eagles will be the big dissappointment.

    That's interesting. Who did we lose off of our roster that would dictate the slide? I agree completely with the Quincy comments, but the offense will be better this year than it was last year.

    I have to say the Eagles will be the biggest disappointment only because they have the most hype to lose. I don't necessarily have a strong case as to why they will fail, and maybe the won't. But I think that because of expectations, they are the leading candidate for disappointment.

    Based on the last half of the season last year, I think the Vikings could qualify for the Cinderella season. However, since their first half almost put them into the playoffs, I don't think they do qualify.

    I think the Lions and the Redskins make some major improvements, but I'm not ready to call them the Cinderella story by any means. I gotta see some training camp before my annoint my shot-in-the-dark.

    I hate saying this but a team that really could be a cinderrella story is the Bills. They have so much talent but have not been able to put it together. Though I don't really think they will win the east but I'll admit they are a possibility.

    As for disapointment it would have to be where the hype is ...New England and Philly. One or the other will disapoint and I truely believe and have been saying it since they signed TO it will be the eagles.

    I think bears win the Super Bowl, but i dont think it would be a cinderella story, i think it will just be the first chapter of a book known as DA BEARS: "A dynasty - 04 - 14"

    Eagles are the cinderella, no1 expects them to do anything(here at least) and will prove you all wrong when they go 19-0. 23-0 If you count preseason

    If not Eagles, Texans

    I think the suprise team in the nfc will be seattle. In the afc im gonna rally around the miami dolphins who now will have to step it up one more notch to show themselfs and the world they do not need ricky.

    Sometimes players and coaches need a kickstart. This is miam's time.

    Seattle and miami cinderella storys in both nfc and afc.

    come on gentlemen. We watched the falcons take a serious downfall last year, and kind of picked back up with Vick leading. I don't know but with their new additions, returning vets, and of course new coaching. This team defenitley has a shot at the big one. Vick might not have the numbers, but he'll have the wins.

    Cindarella = Chicago / Pittsburgh

    Disappointment = Carolina / Baltimore

    Grrr, chicago is not cinderella, no one expects cinderella and a lot of people think the bears will be very good. Pittsburgh is cinderella, but with cowher i dont know how much of a surprise it would be if the won. Baltimore will win division with ease(no competition) i think carolina is too good on D to fall back to far

    How can Chicago not be a Cindarella? How many wins did they have last year? New Coach, new QB, new system.... Yes, their defense was good / decent last year, but it would be amazing to see them finish out this year with 10+ wins and a playoff berth...

    We'll see about Baltimore. They dumped Anthony Wright and he was part of the reason they were winning. Boller wasn't doing anything special as the starter.

    Carolina was underestimated, but won't be this year. With Tampa & Atlanta rebounding and New Orleans should be better, it will be no cake walk for the Panthers to repeat.

    Chicago won 7 games last year, but when kordell didnt start they were 6-3. Thus, not a cinderella.
