True Gridiron's AFC midseason report
My AFC preseason predictions included the Jets going to the Super Bowl. Here's the midseason update to see how I'm doing so far.
AFC East
Jets
Predicted: 12-4. Winning division, going to the Super Bowl.
Midseason record: 5-3, tied for first.
Analysis: Jets are 22nd in offense but 8th in defense. They still have to play the Patriots,Bills, Eagles and Giants. The Jets are still my pick to win the division. But to get to the Super Bowl, they will need to pick it up on offense.

True Gridiron's NFC midseason report
My NFC preseason predictions included the Packers winning the Super Bowl
and Aaron Rodgers being hailed as the NFL's best QB. So far so good. But what about my other predictions?
NFC East
Eagles
Predicted: 11-5, Winning division.
Midseason record: 3-5
Analysis: The Eagles represent the latest misconstrued philosophy that spending a lot of
money and assembling a "Dream Team" of players will get you the Lombardi trophy. Look at the 2000 Redskins or the Miami Heat, for that matter. When the Eagles lost to the Bears on Monday Night they were officially Done. That was a must win. I believe Andy Reid needs to be fired. He has done a lot to make the Eagles a good team. But never great. I could go on about who they play the next 8 games, but really. What's the point!

C'mon Man!
As we begin the quest for Super Bowl XLI, 17 teams
have major explaining to do
Before we kick off the long-awaited 2011 season, it's time to interrogate
some of the most celebrated NFL teams.
As a Broncos fan, I went through some incredibly torturous years. As a
7-year-old in 1970, I became a fan because I liked the colors and the cool
horse on the helmet – then became enamored by the NFL's most exciting

Lockout 2011
Top 10 Things We Learned
It's felt like the longest offseason ever – especially for Plaxico! With no football
activities since the draft, I'm not the only media person thatran out of legitimate things to talk about. But, unlike Seinfeld, we did learn a few things about the lockout:
10. NFL Network needs a refresh. Fans trying to catch up on the latest lockout news were tortured mercilessly by the network's only 2 commercials – Play 60 School Bus commercial with the annoying syncopated soundtrack of
players and kids (plus owners and mascots) nodding on the

Who’s Next?
With the 2012 Hall of Fame preliminary list announced, Broncos
fans ask the obvious.
The Broncos are on a roll! In 2004, after 45 years of existence, John Elway became the first Bronco inducted in the Hall of Fame. Four years later, tackle Gary Zimmerman
became the second. Then last year finally, The Franchise Floyd Little. Now that Shannon Sharpe has bulldozed his bust into Canton’s door, who will be the next eligible Bronco to
sport the mustard jacket?
Instead of blathering on with speculation and considering guys who are not yet eligible (the Tom Nalens and Jason Elams, etc.), let’s cut to the chase by asking the man who has
presented Broncos

FEATURED STORY:
The Playoffs: One
Last Shot at Crazy
Tebow Magic
Well, it took a few years
but it finally happened. In
a season of crazy ups and
downs Kyle Orton finally
won a big game at Mile High
Stadium. Of course, in true
Orton fashion it happened
only after he switched
teams.
Yes, suffice to say it's pretty
bad when a mediocre QB
like Orton can get his
revenge by beating the
Broncos in a game Denver
needed to win the AFC
West. But in one of the
craziest seasons ever, the
"bass ackwards" Broncos
inexplicably won the AFC
West by losing its last 3
games. Somewhere, Jake
Plummer wants a recount.
And the guy that may be
most responsible for this
dive is the guy that's one of
the biggest reasons Denver
gets to live another day --
Tim Tebow.
