The presses almost came to a stop the other day — at least they should have. More important things were pressing than putting out a daily paper. News, schmooze. It was time for staffers to postpone productivity and participate in the Deseret Morning News' first (and likely last) annual NFL season questionnaire.

As you read the survey's results, just remember: We're not NFL experts. We — meaning those who didn't trash the soul-soliciting pigskin poll e-mail like it was another V1@gr& spam message — just play them in the paper.

So — "Stop the presses!" — Here's how we see the upcoming NFL season shaking out:

First runner-up: Indianapolis Colts
