2039 Team review/predictions

This is my breakdown of how I believe each team will finish the 2039 season based on additions and loses. It's just my opinion and obviously is just for entertainment purposes. If I didn't give your team enough wins in my prediction then by all means win more games and make me look like an idiot. My intent isn't to disrespect anyone with my reviews.

Added LDE Smith, RDE Hadley (R), MLB Severs (R), CB Strickland


PREDICTION
2039 5-11

The team had a down year after finishing over .500 the previous 2 seasons. The team has improved and made a huge trade with Indiana for an elite CB in Strickland. The prediction for 5-11 may be based more on the division they play in then the actual talent level of the team.

Tampa Bay Fireballs
Casualcnote (19th season)
2038 9-7 (Division Title)

OFFENSE
2038 10th

The 10th ranked offense returns all 11 starters and they added a veteran WR.

Lost WR Geraci, C Harmon,

Added QB Gonzalez (R), WR Tipton, RT Sykes


DEFENSE
2038 16th

They lost 5 starters on defense (DT/2LB/CB/SS) and went to work signing a starting DT to a mega-deal, drafting LBs in the 1st and 2nd round then drafting a SS in the 3rd & a CB in the 4th round.

Lost DT Maple, WLB McCarty, WLB Salazar, CB Erickson, SS Jones,

Added DT Clifford, RDE Meredith (R), SLB Gomez (R), MLB Fritz (R), WLB Mahar, CB Warren (R), SS Lee (R)


PREDICTION
2039 10-6 (Division Title)

This francise spent 11 of its first 12 seasons with losing records then spent the next 7 seasons at 8-8 or close to it without a winning record before finally breaking through 2 seasons ago and have made tge playoffs the past 2 seasons. They will make it 3 in a row as they have set the foundation and found a way to improve or replace talent on offense and defense

Carolina Cobras
Slowtospeak (15th season)
2038 8-8 (missed playoffs)

OFFENSE
2038 9th

They return all 11 starters but still traded for RB Murray to give them a solid 1-2 punch in the backfield. They also added 2 veteran WRs to improve the passing game.

Lost LDE Denham, SS Chen, FS Anderson, FS Baratta

Added DT Aquino (R), RDE Randolph (R), SS Hodgson (R), SS Wilson (R), FS Browder


PREDICTION
2039 10-6 (possible Division Title)

They have had 2 down years in a row despite having a top ten offense and top 12 defense last season. The offense improved with the trade for a RB and the defense Lost 2 players to retirement and they reloaded at safety with 2 draft picks and a free agent signing. Look for them to bounce back this season.

Memphis Maniacs
Adamsneeka (3rd season)
2038 5-11

OFFENSE
2038 29th

The offense returns all 11 starters and they added 6 rookies and 2 veterans to the mix in an attempt to improve the 29th ranked offense from last season. The addition of RB Smith gives them a solid 1-2 punch.

They had an underrated defense last season and they only Lost 1 starter at CB3. They drafted a DT and signed 2 DBs to fill the hole in the secondary.

Lost DT Griffen, CB Coss

Added DT Jackson (R), CB Joyce, FS Anderson


PREDICTION
2039 7-9 (miss playoffs)

The offense should improve will all the draft picks Added to the mix and on defense they have a solid front 7 and an elite SS so their secondary still needs some work.

Atlanta Dominators
Bruno77 (2nd season)
2038 1-15

OFFENSE
2038 32nd

They completely reworked the backfield while adding a TE, WR and 4 offensive linemen. Expect 3rd year QB Cerone to take the reigns as the offense should be young, dynamic but have plenty of growing pains.

Lost RB Metz, RB Elkins, FB Wyatt, WR Irwin, C Freeman, C Wilson,

Added RB Johnson (R), RB Leslie (R), FB Emmanuel (R), TE Bouldin (R), WR McConkey (R), LT Flores (R), C Colon, C Coker (R), RT Jordon (R)

Lost DT Edwards, SLB Wood, MLB Elison, SS Krum, SS Mroz, FS Damone, FS Harris

Added LDE Crowder, DT Blankston, DT Grant (R), MLB Helton, CB Meador (R), CB Benavidez (R), CB Dorazio, SS Zane


PREDICTION
2039 3-13 (miss playoffs)

They have won 1 game the past 2 seasons but this once proud francise is under new ownership and he is rebuilding this 32nd ranked offense through the draft. The defense has a nose tackle and LB to build around but until then they have 9 JAGs (Just A Guy) filling in the rest of the positions.

Quite accurate prediction!

In my case, when I saw 4-12, I thought "I wish I win 4". Oh well, 4-5 victories is nice with this young team, just now the guys are starting to know the defensive plays decently enough to apply them sometimes! At first no play had more than 33% knowledge (almost all rookie defense, to be expected).
