The following are my opions for the up coming season:

AFC East

Miami 12-4  (after all the injuries they suffered, especially on D and
             offensive line they should have a healthier season and
             give Buffalo a run for their money as they did 2 yrs ago)
Buffalo 11-5 ( after their straight Super Bowl loss they should be asking
               themselves why. They seem to be already bickering. Last time
              they did they went 9-7)
New England 8-8 ( Excellent coaching and inspiring football should get them
                  at least a .500 record. Hopefully for the team they can do
                  what dallas has been doing and get talent through the draft)
Jets 6-10  (With Browning Nagle taking over, as rumors say, the jets will
            struggle as most teams do when a new quarterback takes over.)
Indy 1-15 ( with the loss of what talent they did have I'm not even sure
            they can win 1 game)

AFC Central

Houston 10-6 ( with the loss of 3 wr's, including Drew Hill, it'll be a
              difficult year, unless their able to get some wr's in the draft)
Cleveland 9-7 ( this team seems to have done everything right in Plan-B.
                With the addition of Brooks and other Plan-B's this team
                might do better than expected.)
Pittsburgh 7-9 ( This team is tough to figure out. Once a cinderella team 
                 they've struggled since, especially at QB)
Cincinatti 3-13  ( They have been known to go from best to worst to best, however
                 with the exit of Brooks and others this team won't make .500)

AFC West

Kansas City 12-4 ( With Krieg taking over at QB this team should be interesting
                   to watch. If Krieg plays at his potential, KC should win the
                   division)
Denver 11-5 ( Proving that 1990 was a fluke they should give KC a run for their
              money, although the Raiders could be a problem.)
Raiders 10-6 ( Probably one of the toughest teams to figure out. If they can
               get Jay to play as he did in 1990 and not screw up they could
               take the Division. All the talent is there all they need is 
               the catalyst.
San Diego 6-10 (Playing in what is becoming the toughest division will get them
                at most 6 or 7 wins)
Seattle 3-13 (Until Dan gains some experience and they gain some all around 
              talent it'll be difficult)

Later this week i'll post my opinions on the NFC. Your views are appreciated.

The Bills news:

  Players departed via Plan B:
	Butch Rolle (tough loss)
	Ray Bentley (to Bengals)
	Brad Daluiso (to Cowboys)
	no other major losses.

  Players signed on Plan B:
	Ed Thomas TE Tampa Bay 
	Steve Christie K Tampa Bay - will be Bills kicker this yr.
	Derrick Brownlow LB Cowboys - has a chance to take Bentley's spot
	Eric Fairs LB Oilers - good special teams player
	Brian Baldinger OL - anything is better than Mitch Frerotte

  Coaching Changes:
	Chuck Dickerson DL coach fired
	Ted Marchibroda Off Coord - left to coach Colts
	Can't recall name but OL coach promoted to Off Coord. (I hate it when
		my mind gets so filled up with work that I forget important

	Dan Sekanovich DL coach hired from Dolphins (what a great resume -

  Medical
	Bruce Smith had his knee scoped again recently.  They expect him to

	Shane Conlan is recovering from his Super Bowl knee injury.  They

The 49ers will NOT win the NFC West or the conference for a number of reasons:


1. Joe Montana may be back, but the team has changed a lot.

2. The Falcons are overall better than the 49ers.

3. If Philadelphia couldn't get into the playoffs with 10 wins, would the
   49ers? No.

4. Their offense couldn't handle the defense of the Redskins, the Eagles,
   or the Saints.

5. Their defense, without Holmgren, would be pummeled by the Redskins, the
   Eagles, the Falcons, the Lions, the Cowboys, the Bills, the Chiefs,
   the Raiders (if Shroeder plays well), and the Saints.

	I remembered a game two years ago when the Falcons throughout
the game blitzed Montana on almost every down; consequently, Rice
caught 5 TDs that evening.  If Glanville is stupid enough to try the
same stunt one more time, I am sure Montana and Rice will perform the
same old magic once again.

	How could anyone be dumb enough to leave Rice with 
man-to-man coverage all game long?

*Note:  All facts and quotes taken from the Dolphin Digest without
permission , along with most of the speculation*

There is no secret about what the Dolphins will be looking to draft
this year:  DEFENSE !  And since they have the #7 and #12 picks in the
first round, there are likely to be some good players available,
especially where the Dolphins need the most help: Defensive line and
cornerback.  

According to Don Shula: 

	"We're going to look at almost every area, the defensive line,
corners and linebackers in particular."

and 	
	"This is the best chance we've had of upgrading our football
team through the draft since I've been coaching here.
	There are definitely some quality defensive linemen available.
The guy from Washington (Emtman) is going to go early, but we see some
others we like.  Cornerback is also a strong area, but we'll have to
see whether we're willing to invest a seventh or 12th pick on one of
them. 
	Given the fact that we have two such high picks, we're also
preparing ourselves for trade talk with other teams..."

The Dolphin Digest guesses the first twelve draft picks like this:

1. Indy - Steve Emtman
2. Indy - Desmond Howard
3. LA Rams - Sean Gilbert
4. Cinci - Troy Vincent
5. Green Bay - Quentin Coryatt
6. Washington - Dale Carter

*7. Miami - Alonzo Spellman of Ohio State.  Spellman is a 6-6, 285
pound defensive lineman who can rush the passer as well as stop the
run.  He would probably be able to start for the Dolphins immediately.
The Dolphins have reportedly already touched base with his agent.

8. New England - Leon Searcy.
9. Cleveland - Bob Whitfield
10. Seattle - Vaughn Dunbar
11. Pittsburgh - Terrell Buckley 
 
*12. Miami - Bill Johnson. Another defensive lineman who is 6-4 and
289 pounds. 

(Please remember that the above picks are the Dolphin Digests', not
mine). 

If Miami does take 2 defensive linemen in the first round, they could
think about switching to a 4-3 standard defense.  

IMHO, Miami will probably end up trading at least one of their first
round picks and possibly Sammie Smith and/or OT Jeff Dellenbach.
Dellenbach has publicly stated that he wants to go and Sammie probably
will never be trusted in Miami again.  It may prove to be necessary to
work a deal with Washington to be sure to get Spellman, if that's who
they want.  But if Miami intends to trade for Bobby Humphrey at some
point, look for Smith or Dellenbach to be part of that deal.

INJURY UPDATE: At the end of last season, there were three very
important Dolphin players on the injury list.  John Offerdahl should
be back for Spring Minicamp and John Grimsley and Reggie Roby should
be ready by the start of Summer training.

And that concludes the latest Dolphin Digest digest.  8-)

I think he was with the Chargers for only 1 year and he was strictly a
reserve.  I'm not sure he ever played.

The Chargers put him on plan B this year and the Cardinals signed him.
Card coach Joe Bugel (ex-Redskin OL coach) had a lot of OL problems last
year and probably signed him at least partly for old-times sake.  At this
stage of his career he is unlikely to be starting anywhere (well, maybe
for the Eagles or Colts).

	He's not nearly as bad as some people on the net have made him
out to be but he isn't great.  He has never had a good offensive line or
a good set of recievers (Lipps and a scrub do not make a good set, even back
when Lipps was very good).  Early in his career with Pittsburgh he was fairly
mobile but recently he seems to have lost all of that.

But everyone compliments Green already.  He's *still* the fastest man in the

CB who can *play*, not just dish out compliments.

Tomorrow, March 18th, the Chicago Bears and the University of Chicago
Maroons will fight for the right to the nickname "Monsters of the Midway."

For those of you not in the know, the Bears' nickname, as well as the 
"C" logo on their helmets and elsewhere were copied from the University of
Chicago back in the days long ago when the University was perennial Big Ten
champs.  The University of Chicago is actually located on the Midway so the
nickname does make more sense for them, but the Bears like their nickname.

So now as part of the university's centennial celebration, the Maroons and
the Bears will battle for the right to the nickname for the next hundred
years.  Contests include free-throw shooting, poetry reading, etc.

Bears in attendance include Tom Waddle, Maury Buford, Trace Armstrong and
others.  GO MAROONS!!!!
