Predictions

Well we have decided to start posting our predictions and this year just start at week 4 (since the other ones have already happened). So I will try to bring them out as soon as possible.

Pennington On IR, Dolphins trade for Chiefs QB Tyler Thigpen (Alex)

The Miami Dolphins put Chad Pennington on IR and traded for Kansas City's 3rd string QB for a undisclosed draft pic. The Dolphins second string QB Chad Henne will start instead of Thigpen but the Dolphins use the Wildcat formation alot so Thigpen may start when the play the Wildcat. Thigpen has alot better stats then Henne but Henne has never started in a game. Last year the Chiefs starting QB was injured then the second string QB was injured and Thigpen played most of the season. He threw 420 times and completed 230 of them(that's good considering that his receivers dropped 50% of them) . He had 18 TD's and 12 INT's. He threw for 2,608 yards. He ran for 386 yards and 3 TD's.

Jon's Thought's

Well I am going to start posting my predictions for each week but I will go ahead and give you my record in each week

Week 1: 14-2

Ones I was wrong on: 49ers beat Cardinals and Packers beat Bears.

Week 2: 10-6

Ones I was wrong on: Texans beat Titans, Bengals beat Packers, 49ers beat Seahawks, Bears beat Steelers, Broncos beat Browns and Giants beat Dallas.

Week 3: 11-4 (so far, I am predicting Dallas to beat Carolina tonight)

Ones I was wrong on: Jaguars beat Texans and Patriots beat Falcons.

So far I am 35-12 and a clue to getting a good prediction record is just pick the no brainers and don't be like those announcers and pick dumb ones just to get attention:-)

An example is Chiefs against Eagles this week. A lot of people picked KC to win but Kolb is playing well and KC looks like it has one of there worst teams in a long time. Another one is Ravens against Browns. Quinn can't get anything going and the Ravens are red hot and in this one around 50% of people guessed Browns to win. Now there is times where the no brainers turn out to be a loss on your record but that is only about one or two a week, save your dangerous guesses for the close games.

Now for the close ones like Washington vs. Detroit and Chicago vs. Seattle this week it's just a matter of luck.

Injury may again end Chad Pennington's Season

The news came today that Chad Pennington's injury may end the season for him as well as end his career in Miami. Pennington is up for free agency next season and I don't think the Dolphins would want to pay some good money for a QB that has had two seasons in his career ended with injury and a guy that is seeming more injury prone by the minute. Pennington started his career in New York with the Jets before being released in the 2008 off-season. The Miami Dolphins then picked him up and he led their team from the previous years 1-15 season to a AFC East Division title and an 11 win season. He won 2008 comeback player of the year but has not played well this season and as I said my not play again till next season. I still think his career as a starter is not over. I think a team that needs other things besides QB in the draft but the QB position is still quite weak would love to have a one or two year stick in at QB as they rebuild although the chances of him leading another team to the playoffs is highly doubtful. He is in his tenth year in the NFL and has only played a full 16 game season twice (one with the Jets and one with the Dolphins). Well I think we will see with in the next few days what and where Chad Pennington's future will be.

Winless Bucs bench Leftwich, promote Johnson

The news came today that the Buccaneers have decided to bench starter Byron Leftwich and promote 2 year QB Josh Johnson to the Starting QB position. Leftwich in his 3 games as starter only had 594 yards 4 TD's and 3 interceptions. Most of you might say that isn't bad but it isn't just his stats but he is not making the plays when he has too and his balls are not coming out very smooth. Also he only had 22 passing yards vs. New York Giants last week. Meanwhile Josh Johnson had a good preseason and what better time to test a QB. I personally think they should start Rookie Josh Freeman, they did use their first round pick to get him and he had a great preseason. But lets see how Johnson does as the season goes on.
