Anyone who said Miami and Atlanta would make the playoffs and one of those teams would go to the playoffs with a rookie at the helm and the other with a noodle armed QB raise their hand ... No one did, oops Andy what do you have to say to that?

This is why you end up arguing with everyone.
Please show me where I have said that what you did last year gives you NO CHANCE TO IMPROVE?
If I did why would that make me a homer? The 2 are unrelated.
But, what a team did last year, and what it did to change it are VERY RELEVANT to what they will do this year, especially to use as the basis of a PREDICTION.
Your way, I can say Laurence Maroney will break the single season rushing record this year, and it is as valid a prediction as anything.
The fact that Miami and Atlanta had remarkable turnarounds does not make such a turnaround LIKELY it makes it POSSIBLE.
Both of those teams also made organizaitonal changes, along with coaching changes, and made dramatic overhauls in personell. Did the Jets do that? Is that part of the reason for their turnarounds?
You made a statement and I asked you to back it up.
You said they will win 9-10 games because they will win a lot of 17-14 and 14-7 games.
When I showed how rare those are, you attacked me. Nice.
You make a prediction that you cannot defend when someone disagrees, or asks you to back it up, so you attack the questioner (homer, Jet-hater, etc) and say no one can ever make a prediction ahead of time to hide from the simple fact:
You made a bolde prediciton without thinking it through, and when questioned cannot defend it. Its OK to admit that.
