the 2011 NFC SOUTH Predictions......Dirty BIRDS and WHO DAT? battling for one of those Top NFC SEEDS.....BUCS tough....PANTHERS Newton EXPERIMENT

The NFC South has all of sudden become one of the more balanced Divisions in the NFL. The FALCONS and SAINTS both went to the Playoffs last season as the DIRTY BIRDS were the #1 Overall Seed in the NFC and the SIANTS were the 5th Overall Seed.

Then the BUCCANEERS barely missed making the PLAYOFFS with a 10-6 record themselves as Head Coach Raheem Morris all 34 years young of him is getting it done in TAMPA. The BUCS are young, blind, and hungry....which means they don't know what's in front of them they just play each game like it's a MUST WIN........Houston TEXANS try that formula.

The PANTHERS had the #1 Pick and used it on QB Cam NEWTON and expectations are running high as the PANTHERS under new head man Ron RIVERA don't expect to be anyones door mat. The QB Comp is down to NEWTON and last years 2nd round pick JIMMY CLAUSEN of South Bend Fame Notre Dame.

The 2011 NFC SOUTH Predictions powered by BLUEDUDE SPORTSTALK.....

1. SAINTS 13-3 #2 Overall Seed in the NFC: They are back and loaded everywhere and they have kept all the pieces on the DEFENSIVE side of the ball while adding some New Offensive Pieces for BREES.

The OFFENSE will be dynamite......they lose Dynamic Reggie BUSH and pick up a Poor Man's BUSH in BOLTS FA Darren SPROLES. throw SPROLES in with Pierre THOMAS and the 28th Pick in the 1st Round....'BAMA RB and 2010 Heisman Winner Mark Ingram.....they will be Super Explosive in the BIG EASY. Not to mention all them WRs Brees will be throwing to like COLSTON, MOORE, HENDERSON, and MEACHEM.....looks like a LAW FIRM.....well from a Corners Perspective they are Prosecuting Attorneys.

The DEFENSE has gotten kept the pieces in the BACK with the signing of former 'BAMA Standout and SS Roland HARPER. He joins 3rd year Former BUCKEYE STUD Malcolm JENKINS. MLB and Captain of the D Jonathan VILMA will hold down the 2nd level. The Loss of WLB Scott FUJITA won't be too much of a miss as the SAINTS get two young studs in the DRAFT CAL's DE Cameron JORDAN and Illinois' OLB Martez WILSON.......if they develop quickly....lookout for this d.

OUTLOOK: They will be a tough out in the Regular Season as well as the PLAYOFFS. Sean PAYTON has a whip an he knows it. They can GROUND and POUND (Sorry Rex Ryan the BLUEDUDE usually has his own terminology but Ground and POUND is a CLassic) or they can get you by AIR with all those recievers not to mention up and coming Tight End Jimmy GRAHAM from the U. The SCHEDULE is like this......they have the NFC North and AFC South.....along with the BUCS and FALCONS 4 times combined....Not Easy.

FALCONS 11-5 5th Overall SEED in the NFC: Look last year the DIRTY BIRDS finished at 13-3 and looked like a favorite to get to SUPER Bowl 45....until Aaron RODGERS and the PACK came marching into town. The FALCONS losses last season came against teams that were way more physical than them at the point of attack. The STEELERS and EAGLES man for man beat them.

Offensively they have one o the best Young QBs in the NFL in Matt RYAN aka MATTY ICE. Behind him is Michael "BURNER" TURNER and from the waist down he should be illegal........he has RHINO LEGS. The Guys who catch the PIGSKIN by AIR are TOP 3 WR in the NFL Roddy WHITE and TE Tony GONZALEZ who played with MONTANA and Steve DeBERG in KC. Then in the DRAFT Falcons PREZ Thomas DIMITROFF and Company Mortgage the Farm for 'BAMA ALL-AMERICAN WR Julio JONES.......who should be fantastic but not going to CANTO anytime soon.

The Defense to me is where the FALCONS Problem begin. They have DE John ABRAHAm who is slowing down a bit and that's why thy went out and paid Ray EDAWRDS of the VIKES a Under the MATTRESS stash of cash. The Linebackers are good led by BOOMER SOONER Curtis LOFTON and lasy years 1st round pick Sean WITHERSPOON of MIZZOU. The BACK END is led by former USC COCKS Corner Dunta ROBINSON and 2 Up and Coming Pro Bowl Types in Safety Thomas DeCOUD of CAL BERKELY and Corner Brent GRIMES of Division 2 SHIPPENSBURG P A. They need DT BABINEAUX and Corey PETERS of UK LEXINGTON to come up big.

OUTLOOK: The O isn't the problem....it's the DEFENSE...they have to fix that if they want to move on the NFC. The PACKERS, BEARS, and SAINTS right now have better defenses on PAPER and all those D's are led by Proven Experienced personnel. The SCHEDULE has the DIRTY BIRDS taking on the AFC South and NFC North with an Opening tilt at SOLDIERS FIELD against DA BEARS.

BUCCANEERS 10-6 Not getting in again....just missing the PLAYOFFS: 34 Year Old Raheem MORRIS is laying his foundation for greatness in TAMPA. They Have a Stud Young QB in Josh Freeman and a Powerful RB in LeGarrett BLOUNT. The DEFENSE is led by DT Gerald McCOY of OU Norman.

The OFFENSE has a nice balance of FREEMAN and the passing game and BLOUNT in the running game. They surprised a lot of people last season by how Physical they were at the point of attack. And the WR #19 Mike WILLIAMS of the 'CUSE and add Illinois WR Arrelious BENN to the mix.....they will be real tough on the perimeter as well.

Defensively they lose ILB Barrett RUUD to the TITANS but they pay SLB Quincy BLACK some cash. IOWA HAWKEYE Rookie by way of the LOU in MIZZOU DE Adrian CLAYBORN should have an impact on that side of the ball as well. The VOID will be at CORNER with Aqib TALIB 's Legal PROBLEMS.....they need to find a #1 Corner and FAST.

TALIB reportedly pistol whipped his Sister's Boyfriend after TALIB"S Mother rode shotgun and riled him up..... Forget BONNIE and CLYDE...it's MAMA and her BOY...fully loaded...happened in GARLAND TEXAS NorthEast Suburb of DALLAS. Home of Ike DIOGU and former VIKES WR Jake REED the GREAT Dale CATER's 1/2 Brother......CARTER was a STAR at ELLSWORTH IOWA JC and UT KNOXVILLE before going onto STAR for the BRONCOS and CHIEFS at CORNER. BLUEDUDE driving off the road again...had to get that off my chest.

OUTLOOK: The BUCS will try to get past the FALCONS and SAINTS and it is a TALL Order real talk. The young guys to the BUCS Credit are a year smarter and should know what to expect in these games. The SCHEDULE is tough with the NFC North, the AFC South, and throw in the DALLAS COWBOYS.......PLAYOFFS?....HMMMMMM.

PANTHERS 7-9 CAM plays well but they have too many holes elsewhere: they will have to go at QB with Rookie QB Cam NEWTON or 2nd Year QB Jimmy CLAUSEN. They have those 2 running backs and they will get a workout.....trust me.

Offensively speaking.....DeAngelo WILLIAMS and Jonathan STEWART will get it at least 35 times and if they do the PANTHERS have a chance at going 16-0.....Well they will be in a lot of games. 2 Seasons ago they were the 1st RB Tandem in the NFL to each rush for over 1100 yards in a season........MONSTERS. They also have O-LINE Studs in Jordan GROSS and Ryan KALIL who Friday inked a 5-Year $48 million Deal with over $28 Million Guaranteed. WR Steve SMITH of UTAH not SC TROJANS.....he will need some help.

Defensively the PANTHER have a MLB and BEAST Jon BEASON of the U, Thomas DAVIS of UGA Athens coming off of an injury and Chris GAMBLE from COLUMBUS and the Ohio STATE Buckeyes. They have a lot of other guys who are going to have to come up big during the season or they will never get off the field.

OUTLOOK: The PANTHERS have the NFC North and AFC South on the SCHEDULE. But the real problem is within the Division......FALCONS, SAINTS, and BUCS.....a combined 6 times....that's why i say 7-9 and that's being Cordial.
