Annual get your predictions in now so you can be laughed at later 2012 version

[52brandon]

He is short and does not have a Mathew Stafford type howitzer. Now

having said that I would love to see him in a Cardinal uniform

no? I don't follow NCAAFB much, but I was at the USC/UCLA game and he had at least a couple bombs. That game was just brutal though, they were experimenting left and right

 

[Cardiac]

Defense - Top 5 in points allowed.
Top 13 in yards allowed.
Top 5 in redzone scoring.
Sacks....improve to 6th.
Our Turnover's increase from 19 to 28.

Offense - Middle of the pack in just about every category.
Beanie gets the starts and will avg 4.4 yds per carry. Around 800 yds.
Williams will be brought along slowly, at least I hope so. 5 yds per carry, 600 yds.
Wi Po and LSH get limited touches.

Fitz is still Fitz. Similar numbers to last year.
Doucet gets fewer touches and chances as Floyd's playing time increases. Combine for 700 yds and 8 TD's.
Roberts does well in the slot and builds on last year.

TE's - I went with over 70 receptions last year as a group and they came up a bit short. Going with 100 receptions for the group this year. Add in 6 TD's.

Still can't run a screen pass this year.

ST's - 10 Blocked kicks this year. CC, PP and Bethel will have the opposition staining themselves.

PP still takes at least 3 punts for TD's. Don't care if teams try to kick away from him, they won't be able to do it all the time.

Wi-Po gets more Kick returns then LSH, at least I hope so. Utilize LSH more for offense plus he rules as a gunner.

Cards go 10-6 and win the division.
SF has trouble duplicating the TO differential as they generate less and Smith throws more picks as they try to go down field more. 9-7
Seahawks struggle with a rookie QB and do they have any WR's? 7-9
Rams will be intersting because Fisher will improve their ability to win games but he has a HUGE mountain to climb. 5-11.

 

[Proteus]

Cards go 6-10. The o-line and qb play are a big drag on the team.

The defense is top 10ish (maybe 12th).

Fitz 1200 yards

Beanie 600 yards
R. Williams 800 yards

 

[gmabel830]

We will execute a screen pass this season.. successfully.. TWICE!

 

[PACardsFan]

It's too early to say. I'll have a better idea around Christmas!

Unless about 98% of this board is missing something pertaining to our OL & QB play, we will have to win in the ugliest fashion that the NFL has ever seen. We won't kill anyone, so we will have to win 8-9 really close games! Might be tough to duplicate what we did at the end of last year. I'll give us the extreme benefit of the doubt & say we go 8-8. This from an extreme kool-aider.

I have to agree. Now that I've watched some more film from last season I'm starting to agree with those who say Skelton can't play. He'll have a terrible game Sunday and that will continue until he finally gets pulled for Kolb. Then we've got to worry that Kevin can last long behind that OLine.

Thanks to the schedule we might get to see 4-5 wins this season. But that's it.

This is an epic reverse jinx.

 

[Chopper0080]

Homerism gone wild...9-7

 

[SECTION 11]

10-6. Yeah that's right, 10-6.

 

[Chopper0080]

10-6. Yeah that's right, 10-6.

It all depends on Skelton which is why this season is driving me crazy.

 

[Shane]

Getem in folks!

 

[Mulli]

2-14. Worth it for a QB.

 

[Mulli]

In chonological order:

Kolb is out of commission by the end of game 2.

Skelton completes under 50% of his passes in his limited action. He loses the starting position after being terrible.

Lindley throws fewer interceptions than touchdowns when he plays (and starts) this year.

Ouch, so close...

 

[D-Dogg]

Kolb starts. Fails. Skelton starts. Fails. We officially founder. Lindley starts the final two games and looks like a rookie. We decide that Skelton and Lindley will compete for the QB1 position in 2013. We use our high draft pick on tackle that we could have traded back 20 spots and still picked up.


In other words, Oh No, We Suck Again!

Hmmm...

 

[MadCardDisease]

We start 4 different Left Tackles this season.

Our QBs lead the NFL in number of Sacks taken.

pretty much what i expected

 

[MadCardDisease]

I will say S!#$!!! a LOT this season!

winner

 

[desertdawg]

Ryan Williams goes 1000+ and becomes a fantasy legend.

Didn't happen.

I think this happened.. I mean, not much more than twice, but I recall one or two screen passes this year that were actually completed and gained at least 1 positive yard.
