Opening Weekend

Tomorrow is the opening weekend of the NFL season. Every Sunday for the past decade, I couldn't wait for kickoff. The Bucs were always moving forward, or atleast had experience at the head coach position who we as fans believed were moving the team towards a playoff birth at the minimum.
This year, the Bucs have crossed over into another realm. Richard Williamson might make this team look good. I see none of the quality running backs crossing over the 1,000 yard mark, Antonio Bryant not repeating his breakout season last year, and TE's Stevens and Winslow will combine for 900 yards receiving and 5 touchdowns. Anything over 4 wins for the Bucs this year will be a surprise in my eyes.

Aside from the Bucs, here my my other predictions for the upcoming NFL season.

Tom Brady returns. He throws 38 touchdowns, 4200 yards. Contract year, new wife pregnant.........again. Posts big numbers.
Kurt Warner doesn't play the entire season, he goes down about week 10 after another 5 fumbles. Leinert fills in looking like the draft position he was taken.
Drew Brees wins the NFL MVP after throwing 45 touchdowns and 5500 passing yards.
Brett Favre finally sits a game and breaks his consecutive game streak this season.
Andre Johnson, WR HOU, will break the single season reception record.
Tony Gonzalez, TE ATL, will catch 15 touchdowns for 1000 yds.
Michael Turner, RB ATL, does not repeat last years production, ends up with 8 scores 1100 yards.

NFL Rookie of the Year- Mark Sanchez QB Jets
Comeback player of the Year- Carson Palmer QB Bengals
Defensive Player of the Year- Mario Williams DE Houston.
