Top 5 teams of 2005 (Before T.Camp and Preseason) in SMokey's opinion
1. New England Patriots-Until they get dethroned, they's number 1.
2. Carolina Panthers-Until they are overtaken in NFC, they's number 2.
3. Philadelphia Eagles-Sure they lost 2 starting corners, but TO and Kearse improve both sides of the ball pending health.
4. Indianapolis Colts-Offensive Juggernaut, needs a little more from defense to become ultimate.
5. Kansas City Chiefs-See above (Colts)
Contenders:
Miami Dolphins: Ain't no time like the present, needs to have better QB play, DBoston will improve O immensely
Green Bay Packers: Favre will always have them contend
Seattle Seahawks: Young team, talented, needs little more experience
Denver Broncos: Can they survive w/o Portis? Champ says so
Dallas Cowboys: Surprise last year, fluke? We'll see
Tennessee Titans: Eddie George-less? Not yet. No Kearse or Justin McC. That might hurt
Improved:
Washington Redskins: Portis will help big-time, everyone is riding Gibbs's balls, we'll see.
Detroit Lions: Excellent draft, but Joey H needs to get better real quick
Oakland Raiders: New Head Coach, added younger talent, RB position improved
Cincinnati Bengals: Fluke last year? They're out to impress you, will they?
Jokers:
San Diego Chargers
S.F. 49ers
Houston Texans(might be better then i think)
N.Y. Giants
Cleveland Browns
Pittsburgh Steelers(Duce? No such improvement)
Chicago Bears
N.O. Saints
