2015 Broncos Season — Pre-Camp Predictions, Pt. 2



Camp begins next week, so it's time for some fearless predictions about finish. Yesterday I picked the AFC, today it's the NFC. Below, I put teams in my predicted order of finish with their 2014 record in brackets. Look for final season predictions the week before the regular season begins.

NFC East:
1. New York Giants (6-10) I like ODB and Eli. Coughlin is usually good in odd years.
2. Dallas Cowboys (12-4) They started something last season.
3. Philadelphia Eagles (10-6) Too many gambles. The wheels are coming off.
4. Washington Redskins (4-12) Too many questions.

NFC North:
1. Green Bay Packers (12-4) Could be NFC's Best.
2. Minnesota Vikings (7-9) Could be playoff bound.
3. Detroit Lions (11-5) Not enough juice.
4. Chicago Bears (7-9) About the same as last season.

NFC South:
1. Atlanta Falcons (6-10) They have the best talent.
2. Carolina Panthers (7-8-1) Still hanging around
3. New Orleans Saints (7-9) Lost too many weapons.
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-14) They'll be better on offense.

NFC West:
1. Seattle Seahawks (12-4) Still the best.
2. St. Louis Rams (6-10) I believe in the defense.
3. Arizona Cardinals (11-5) Defense could fall off.
4. San Francisco 49ers (8-8) This team's going in the wrong direction.

Playoffs:
1. Green Bay Packers (North Champs)
2. Seattle Seahawks (West Champs)
3. New York Giants (East Champs)
4. Atlanta Falcons (South Champs)
5. Dallas Cowboys (Wild Card)
5. Minnesota Vikings (Wild Card)

The Burial a courtroom drama with heart

Image
Willie Gary (Jamie Foxx) is a brash trial lawyer who is good at rallying a jury to his cause. Jeremiah O’Keefe (Tommy Lee Jones) is a quiet grandfather who is trying to ensure the business his family built remains viable after he’s gone. These two don’t appear to have much in common on the surface. But when they’re brought together by young lawyer Hal Dockins (Mamoudou Athie) brings them together, a connection is formed over their shared background of working hard to become self-made men. And it turned out that Willie was just who Jerry needed in his corner to win the fight of his life. The new Prime Video film The Burial, which opened in theaters October 6 and started streaming October 13, captures that trial against the Loewen Group that changed the course of their lives. The film is based on the true story and covers the trial, but more importantly captures the relationship between the men. The film plays out like a traditional courtroom drama. Foxx is solid as Willie Gary, while Ju

Broncos Draft Targets

Image
  The NFL Draft is just a few days away. On April 25, the Denver Broncos will head into the draft in the midst of something of a rebuild. In the draft, the Broncos have the No. 12 pick in Round 1, then have a Third Round Pick, Fourth Round Pick, three Fifth Round Picks, a Sixth Round Pick, and a Seventh Round Pick. So, what might they be targeting? Let's dive in and look at possible positions. Quarterback : The team clearly needs a long-term quarterback. Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci are there but the team could certainly use someone else. Could they move up for Drake Maye or J.J. McCarthy? Yes, they could. Will the take Bo Nix at 12? It's possible. Or will the Broncos wait until next off-season to make a move? Anything is in play for the Broncos in 2024, but quarterback is surely a need. Tight End: The team brought back Adam Trautman and still has Greg Dulcich, but it's still a need. Dulcich hasn't been able to get on the field and Trautman hasn't been great. Co

Favorite Westerns, No. 43

Image
  Do you like a good Western? It's a classic genre in film and this year I've decided to look at some of my favorite Westerns. So, join me each Friday as I count down my favorite Westerns from No. 50 to No. 1. Rooster Cogburn : [ watching Mattie ford the river hanging on the back of her horse] By God. She reminds me of me. True Grit (1969) Starring : John Wayne, Kim Darby, Glen Campbell, Robert Duvall, and Dennis Hopper Director : Henry Hathaway About: This is the third straight week with a film from Wayne. As you might guess, we're not done. As I've mentioned, he sets a standard for the genre. Here, we seen him bring to life an iconic character. This one is based on a novel, and it has endured. He's great as Rooster Cogburn, so good that he got a sequel in the same character. But this is a later film in his career. This is a different, more grizzled Wayne. He's still quite good and this is a film that really has stood the test of time. It's not the only ve
