Not that it matters so much, but we've seen that sportsline had us dropping 14 slots to #26, http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/powerrankings.
Now I don't know about the rest of you but we had a good off season we improved on our worst positions, and I don't think the other teams improved enough to fly by us. this is much more how I'm seeing it. (bare in mind that I'm not taking strength of schedule or ending record in account, simply the order of teams in ability.)
What do you guys think?
1.steelers- young, talented, and a well oiled machine
2.cardinals- gotta give them credit for getting to the big game, and they
almost won, defense is better than most think. Who can stop their "O."
3.patsies- with brady back, and a good off season, gotta figure that they're closer to the 16-0 team and not the 11-5 team.
4.baltimore- with a defense like theirs and an ever improving offense, look
out.
5.giants- they can get after the Qb, and Nicks can be the endzone threat
they lost in Burress
6.Eagles- The new O-line is a huge upgrade, they got some more talent at
wr, this will make Mcnabb/westbrook better, and they've still got a "D."
7.Chargers- To much talent, especially with Merriman back, and adding
English, Bounce back year.
8.Colts- They've been on the decline, but no slow start for peyton this
year, and you can never count this manning out
9.Titans- They were the best in the league for awhile, losing Haynesworth
can't be good, but I think their offense will be better.
10.Panthers- If delhomme is on his game, they're are tough to beat.
11.Cowboys- If they pull it together they'll be much higher, that's a big
challenge though, Their FO worries me too.
12.Vikings- Awesome team, Id like to put them higher, but I dont know about jackson or sage.
13.Dolphins- We've gotten better, but until we see what the new look wild
cat will do, and how the new DB's pan out, plus we gotta get the deep
ball rolling, and get after the Q. Probably top 3 front offices in the
league.
14.Falcons- Gonzales should make up the difference on 2nd year blues and
defenses scheming for the new QB.
15.Saints- They can put up #'s on anyone, but they're just too inconsistant, but a better defense this year could make them very tough.
16.Packers- Roger's second year, and the move to 3-4 should make better use of their defensive talent.
17.Jaguars- They will be better this year than last year. Two good pick-ups
for the line this year, and better receivers.
18.Texans- Tough team, if shaub stays upright. explosive team, good amount of talent.
19.Broncos- With cutler they would've been much higher. Don't know what they expect from Orton, but he's a pennington style player, from what I've
seen he's solid. Somebody has to help the defense, they signed 80,000
players.
20.Bengals- Palmer being healthy will make a big difference, and we'll find
out if OCHO CINCO can still be the top dog. Their offense makes this team
go.
21.Redskins- I'm not sure that Haynesworth is well worth, 100mil., but He'll
help I'm sure. Maybe portis stays healthy, maybe campbell plays better,
maybe, maybe, maybe.
22.Bears- Cutler brings them up, but they've got holes on the O-line, and
nobody but cutler and lb core can scare ya.
23.seahawks- If they can stay healthy, they'll do better, duh. seems like a
no brainer, but they cant seem to do it.
24.Jets- If Sanchez can do it, it could prove for a long year for us, but
until I see that, they're stuck here.
25. Buccaneers- too old, no QB, I like Raheem, but not enough to make them any higher.
26. Bills- I dont know if they have enough talent for T.O. to take apart, but
I can't wait until he tries.
27. Cheifs- without Gonzales their "O" took a big hit, who knows how Cassel
and and Haley will do?
28. Rams- still got Bulger, still got Jackson, but after that? who knows?
29. Browns- I didn't like mangingi's choices in Jets country, other than the
fact that he did them in Jets country. But they can't be better for
having him.
30. 49ers- I like singeltary as a person, not as a coach, I hope he makes me eat my words, whose gonna throw it to crabtree?
31. Lions- 0-16 and I still like them over the Raiders, man the raiders are
terrible. New QB, Good you RB, there are far worse receiving corpes, I
think they might win a few.
32. Raiders- I don't Like Al davis as an owner, and the FO revolves around
him, no offense to Heyward-bey, but with that thought process. man the
raiders are terrible...
