Here’s my prediciton:

Cards will win the Superbowl….. Boldin will be the MVP!

I am a little hesitant on number 3 though, we will see.

That all sounds a little crazy but if the first four end up being right…it’ll lead to number 5 being right as well.

I think #1 will happen, but agree with Bezekira, if/when Warner misses time there’s a good chance it’s more than 1 game. I expect Matt to play well enough to give us reason to think he’s the long term guy.

1. seems possible but I wouldn’t go out on that limb. Depends on how you define “tops in the NFC West”. Are you looking at which team’s D ends up with the best numbers for the season as a whole, or which is playing best heading into the playoffs? I think we have a better shot at the latter.
2. I agree with. I think Wells will be an upgrade on Edge/JJ, Hightower will improve on a solid rookie year, the line will build on some solid play late last year, and the improved efficiency will allow the coaching staff to call more running plays.
   I hope #4 happens, but I’d be fine with a more “average” Fitz season (meaning all-pro level, but not the historic level you call for). As long as Boldin is here, and assuming we run the ball more often, I’m not sure Fitz will get the ball enough to post the type of season you mention.
3. happens in all my homerific daydreams of how next season goes for the Cards, but no way would I make that prediction this early.

Bill Bidwill will open up his very rusty and rarely used pocketbook, and pay whatever Q, Dockett, et al want, without any quibbling.

Oh, and if you believe that, there’s a bridge in Brooklyn I wanna sell you…

At least one key unforeseen occurance will happen that no one could conceivably have predicted. Our season will ride on it.

Mexico will assist with the downfall of western civilization as we know it because of our approach to border relations.

I beg to differ, we effectively shut him down until we switched our defensive scheme. If our defense was so mediocre, why didn’t he get open on that last drive and score? I think it was our mediocre defense that was atop the league in stats that sealed the game too, with that forced fumble. With all due respect to Fitzgerald’s skill, which he possesses an enormous amount, he is still one man, and one man alone cannot beat the Steelers’ defense, let alone make them look “mediocre.”

If you guys believe all that your drinking it.

I think they will do exactly that. Im not sure if Kurts gonna get hurt and Matt’s gonna step in, but if Fitz defies the madden curse and kicks some butt like he did last year, and boldin will keep runnin over people AND beanie and hightower we will get to the super bowl and we will win.

1. Warner missing one or more games and Leinert playing well. – I think this is very likely. He’s matured a lot and has had a lot of opportunity to learn from a great veteran. And don’t forget, he was a pretty smart QB in college. With the right attitute and work ethic, he could still be very good.

2. Cards D will be #1 in NFC West. Admittedly it’s a weak conference, but I dunno about this. I’d be happy with a good, opportunistic, bend-but-don’t-break D with some consistency. Having the #1 offense will help the defence.

3. Beanie & Tim going for 1500 yards and 12 TDs. I honestly think they will do much better than that. A stable line and a good passing attack has a tendency to open up the running game.

4. Fitz having a historic year. I don’t think this is very likely. I think there is too much talent at the WR position, and opponents will be keying on Fitz too much for that. I do think he will have a stellar, all-pro year and will cement himself as the best WR in the game right now. (With his work ethic, he will likely end up as one of the best ever.)

5. Cards back in the Super Bowl. I think they have the talent and the coaching staff to do it. Obviously anything can happen in the playoffs, but I’m predicting the Cards in the Super Bowl, beating the Pats.
