I'd be interested to hear the input of the forum on this, here are mine, in no particular order. I know we did one a few weeks ago with the downs.
Surprises
1. Randy Moss. I figured he would do better in NE, but breaking Rice's TD record was special.
2. Joe Thomas/Derek Anderson. Cleveland just missed the playoffs, but who had them winning more than 4 games this season?
3. Ronnie Brown. The only bright spot (until his injury) in an otherwise stormy Miami season.
4. Eli Manning and the G-Men. No late season curse for them. They finished strong and took it into the playoffs.
5. Antonio Cromartie. Whenever I get to watch a Chargers game this guy seems to do something amazing. That pick against the Colts in the regular season, climbing the ladder and extending with one arm, pulling it out of the air, was special. And don't forget the 109 10 inch yard TD return from a missed FG.
Disappointments
1. Chicago. The superbowl hangover continues, but this came as a real surprise for the team that many thought would be stronger than last season.
2. Shaun Alexander. Stick a fork in him, he's done.
3. New Orleans. They started what 0-4. Forget the talk of a late season run to the playoffs, with injuries to McAllister and Bush (late), they underperformed.
4. Nate Clements, big money, pathetic performance.
5. Bobby Petrino.
