The Cleveland Browns - JFF isn't lobotomized by the Pittsburgh Steelers. - JFF does JFF things all season long and fucks with the old white men in the press. - JFF clowns the league and wins OROTY. - Josh Gordon plays Wally Bear and the No! Gang and learns to say no to illegal drugs. - The defense plays up to its top 5 talent. - WRs as a whole step up. - Isaiah Crowell turns out to be as talented as he was at Georgia, makes the roster, and becomes a nightmare for defenses. - Ben Tate and Terrance West turn out as expected. The Ohio State Buckeyes - Beat Sparty in East Lansing because gently caress Mark Dantonio and his boring rear end offense. - Don't loving lose in a hilarious fashion to Navy's bullshit offense. - Don't loving lose to Rutgers or Maryland. - Beat the new rape apologist in charge of Penn State football into the turf. - Braxton Miller stays healthy for the whole season.

Nawid posted:These expectations are hilariously low, like you never expect to actually win. The Rams have been so terrible to generally mediocre ever since Martz forced Warner off the team. We've had one of the worst winning percentages from about 2006- than any other franchise. Sure, we're not the Lions or the Browns or anything, but a glimmer of hope is really all we can allow ourselves in the face of just being so goddamn bad all the time.

Giving up two 4th quarter touchdowns while leading to Navy is like impossible. And that's not even factoring in that one of them was a long pass.

Denver Broncos - Manning has a solid season, doesn't need a repeat of last year but puts up enough points to win games. - Montee Ball holds on to the football and plays well enough to take pressure off of Manning. - The Broncos defense returns to form with the free agency signings and Von Miller playing a full season. - A worse offense and better defense leads to a more balanced team overall. - 12 - 4 Regular Season and a Superbowl appearance to give Manning his last shot before retirement. Ottawa Redblacks (CFL) - Try not to die from the embarrassment of being called the RedBlacks. - Maybe win a game?

Revising my hopes for the Saints: Win the Super Bowl. Split Carolina, Sweep Atlanta and TB. Beat SF in the dome one more time. With a fully recuperated Victor Butler and Champ Bailey, Rob Ryan produces a top 5 defense. Top 5 in interceptions. Jimmy Graham leads TEs in yards and/or TDs. Brandin Cooks has the best WR rookie season. Stanley Jean-Baptiste develops into a major contributor.

The whole Warner being forced off the team is overblown. He was legit bad once he hurt his thumb and Marc Bulger was really good when he took over for him. The bad drafting the Rams had for YEARS is what did them in. Also my expectations aren't low. The Rams would be improving from ~26th offensively to like 15th and ~15th defensively to top 7. Their schedule is difficult this year, so expecting at least .500 is reasonable.

Your list also implies that Gregg Williams is a good defensive coordinator, and I have bad news about that. Unless your metric is leading the 'opposing players knees taken out' category, I guess.

University of Kentucky Football Goals: 1. Find a QB - Since Mike Hartline captained the ship in 2010, UK's QB play has been abysmal. Here are the QB statlines from 2010 forward: Hartline (2010): 268/405 (66.2%) 3,178 yards (7.18 YPA) 23 TD 9 INT Newton (2011): 83/174 (47.7%) 793 yards (4.6 YPA) 8 TD 7 INT Smith (2011): 84/153 (54.9%) 819 yards (5.4 YPA) 4 TD 4 INT Smith (2012): 103/150 (68.6%) 975 yards (6.5 YPA) 8 TD 4 INT (injured after 3 games, out for the season) Whitlow (2012): 87/161 (54.0%) 801 yards (5.0 YPA) 3 TD 2 INT Towles (2012): 19/40 (47.5%) 233 yards (5.8 YPA) 1 TD 1 INT (injured in first game action, unsuccessfully tried to return) Newton (2012): 10/32 (31.3%) 73 yards (2.3 YPA) 1 TD 3 INT (started against UF despite practicing at TE/H for entire season) Whitlow (2013): 98/159 (61.6%) 1,035 yards (6.5 YPA) 5 TD 5 INT (injured against 'Bama, came back and played with injury sporadically) Smith (2013): 105/183 (57.4%) 1,276 yards (7.0 YPA) 9 TD 1 INT (injured his shoulder mid-way through the season, played anyway, had surgery in offseason) 2. Improve at S and CB - UK hasn't had a lockdown corner on the field since Trevard Lindley left after the '09-10 season. UK's defensive backfield produced a single interception last season (Ashley Lowrey against UT). With the addition of JUCO AJ Stamps and other talented freshman, UK may be quite a bit better in the back four this year. 3. Improve the interior of the OL - UK lost an experienced starter at C in Matt Smith and one of the best OGs in the country in Larry Warford. Their replacements were pretty bad this year. At C, a 270lb RSFR played all season. At LG, a revolving door of bodies were all pretty ineffectual. Even experienced RG (formerly RT) Kevin Mitchell didn't play very well. The interior was a sore spot in both pass and run blocking all season long. Hopes: 1. Win an SEC game - UK hasn't won an SEC game since November 2011 (UT). 2. Win a game against a BCS opponent - See above. 3. Make a bowl game - Definitely a long shot for '14.

This is the thread for ridiculous optimism, correct? If so, the 2014 Michigan Wolverines. Michigan should win at least ten games next year. At least. Last year, Michigan did go 7-6. Not a good record, but the more I look at it, the more it seems that came from zero offense after the Michigan State game (which was a combination of Al Borges' non-plan gameplans and an obviously hurt Devin Gardner) and the intangible leadership of Taylor Lewan, Senior Captain. Even then, Michigan should've won four of the six losses. Those losses were as follows: - at Penn State, where an idiotic gameplan and a kicking rapist lost a game that Penn State gave to Michigan over and over again. - Nebraska, where Michigan's gameplan of running it up the middle into a weak line led to -21 total yards rushing still ended with Michigan up with just over two minutes to go. - at Iowa - Ohio State, where Michigan basically fought Ohio State to a high-scoring draw, but an injured Gardner caused that conversion call at the very end. This year, Michigan's schedule is really favorable. 10 wins favorable. Michigan should win ten.

The Buffalo Bills - I would like to see EJ Manuel's knee remain intact - Our receivers to hold onto the ball when it lands beautifully into their hands on key possessions (this may already have been achieved) - To crush The Patriots in Gillette. I'm even ok with them squashing the Bills at home, and Buffalo having a terrible season otherwise, so long as that happens. - Unrealistic hope; 11-5, and perhaps the division, at the very least a wc spot

I think we can all agree Bielema deserves to be the guy that steals Kiffin's title for "most humiliating firing." Maybe they can leave him in Texas or Mississippi, or he could literally be torn apart by Arkansas fans after losing to UAB. Alabama Beat Auburn. Beat Tennessee BAD and have Kiffin openly smoking a cigar in Neyland. Find a way to make Muschamp's life even worse. Have last year's draft picks prove their worth in the NFL, at least all the high profile ones. Win the SEC Championship, make the playoffs or win a good bowl game. I don't expect ~undefeated~ or a title with our QB situation and Lane fuckin' Kiffin. Raku fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Jun 3, 2014 |

LSU Tigers -Beat Alabama. The Alabama game is at home this year so I think we have a good shot. -Don't lose in some embarrassing fashion to Ole Miss or Arkansas. -Get better on defense. Last year's defense was frustrating at times. We seemed to get better as the year went on so I'm optimistic.

Texas A&M - No more Aggie contributions to TDC general population - No injuries all season - A much, much, much improved defensive showing like only limiting offenses to 200 yards/game - K. Allen picks up the offense and makes everyone forget about JFF - All commits sign on national signing day - Punch LSU in the nutsack for our final game
