Sunday, August 9th, the 2015 off season will officially end with the 1st of the pre season games. This will be between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings at the Pro Football Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio, as noted in the 2015 off season thread.

It is time we started thinking about our picks for that game. This exhibition shouldn't pose a problem for the steel curtain. I'm picking:

Pittsburgh Steelers over Minnesota Vikings

Please post your choice before game time, Sunday.

Last year about this time was when I finally decided to improve my very surface understanding NFL Pro Football. I owe a lot of thanks to the more experienced NFL fans here on the BSN as well as my real life friends and other Seahawk fans. I'm sure I'll learn more each season.
Last year, I wasn't real clear on the significance of the preseason games in the overall scheme of things. I've since learned that they are not a huge indicator for regular season success. These exhibition games are used to try out newly acquired players, acclimate rookies to bigger crowds and generally experiment and raise morale. The time 1st string players spend on the field during these games is usually kept to a minimum. For the audience, the tickets are the same price as regular season tickets, but statistically, they have no significance for the teams or players. But it sure will be good to watch football again...

There are a lot of NFL fans on the BSN, many of whom are more football savvy than I am, so please feel free to share your wisdom, like so many wonderful folks did last year. Or just boost your team, it's hard to have too much of that.

I remain a humble scribe as needed.

And Go Seahawks!!!  

[Degenerate Rakia Time]

well, i expect AP to play the full game so he can shake off the rust which means the Vikings will destroy the Steelers

[themikefest]

Be afraid. Be very afraid. The Carolina Panthers will make you tremble in fear. hahahaha

or die of laughter

 Yeah they will when they see the other teams run away from the Panthers awesomeness

[Degenerate Rakia Time]

if Cam can stay upright the Panthers are in the run for worst offensive line in the NFL.....lolmichaeloher....

 

and the defense isnt that much better, there's Kuechly, Lotulelei and no one else

[Swaggerjking]

I think he will just play in a quarter there is no reason to leave him out to get hurt.

Yeah but what about Michael Oher?

[Master Race]

Oakland Raiders will be the surprise superbowl winners. You heard it here first.

Believe what you want. I say they make it to the playoffs and to the super bowl

but the Raiders wont play in the Super Bowl, they will play the Buccaneers in the Pirate Brawl

[Degenerate Rakia Time]

im sorry but it will be Packers, Cowboys, Saints, Cardinals, Vikings and Eagles going to the playoffs in the NFC

 

in the AFC it will be Patriots, Ravens, Colts, Chiefs, Texans and Steelers

[themikefest]

I'm sorry, but it will be the Panthers, Cowboys, Buccaneers, Lions, Giants, Bears, Rams and 49ers in the playoffs for the NFC

 

In the AFC, it will be the Jets, Broncos, Ravens, Raiders, Chargers, Bills, Dolphins and Titans

I got to disagree with you. Here are my predictions

     A.F.C                               N.F.C

1.Steelers                           1. Packers

2.Colts                                2. Cowboys

3.Miami                               3.Seattle 

4.Cheifs                              4. NFC south winner(I have no idea I feel like they are a really lackluster division and will probably have the Worst records in the playoffs)

5.Patriots                          5. Cardinals

6.Ravens                             6 Rams

 

My super bowl predictions are Steelers beating the Cowboys 31 to 28 in a Superbowl rematch

now i know you're joking also you picked 8 teams...

[themikefest]

now i know you're joking also you picked 8 teams...

about  8 teams instead of 6, sure.

 

I'll remove the Rams and Bucs from the NFC and leave the rest

 

I'll remove the Jets and Titans from the AFC and leave the rest

[Torgette]

 

What about him?

 

[themikefest]

Is that suppose to mean something?

[Torgette]

He doesn't stop anybody very well. 

[themikefest]

He doesn't stop anybody very well. 

He was good enough to help Baltimore win the super bowl in 2013

[Swaggerjking]

He was good enough to help Baltimore win the super bowl in 2013

that was then but is he still good enough

[Degenerate Rakia Time]

that was then but is he still good enough

even then he wasnt good

[themikefest]

that was then but is he still good enough

When the regular season starts, you can watch to find out

[Fidite Nemini]

I want France to win.

 

It's always the US that wins the Superbowl, it's boring ... you already know how it's going to end.
