I'm thinkign the Bills are going to shock people this year. Especially Marshawn.

 

[MapleLeaf]

I like John Claytons rankings the best besides me disagreeing with 1 and 2 needing to be switched around on his list

 

[dez]

Cant argue with #3, actually very generous considering how we ended last year.

But I think the Bills will actually do worse then people expect, wherever TO goes things tend to go down hill.

Falcons at 8? damn, i think they'll do good but lets not get carried away.

 

[Matt Ryan Fan]

8-10 would sound about right to me. I could be a little biased though. We do have a top 5 offense I believe.

 

[yezzir]

i like the falcons and matt ryan, i really do. but i'd put them in the 10-15 range.

 

[Gtown81]

Power rankings voters are still trying to shake visions of Jake Delhomme tossing all of those INTs in the playoffs. (Sando)

*sigh* why would they even bring that up

anyways, I agree with how they ranked the Panthers, can't really see them doing any better than 11th

btw I really don't see the Steelers doing better than the Pats

Naw, their better then that. I think they will do something this year, more then last. An improvement on defense would make this team scary good - that's what hurt them last year. They also got another weapon on offense now too as we all know.

giants ahead of the eagles? i disagree 100% there. i also think the colts are ranked a little too high at five.

Not in the first year. T.O. and his team always gel year one, then it slowly starts to go down from there. So this year might be the Bills year to do anything. Plus I think Lee Evans might have a career year this year.

Also I don't think you remove the Steelers from the top spot until they lose it.

Please the Eagles suck. Ranking them at 4 was generous enough as it is.

True, if this is the year they contend then they better make the most of it.

I can just picture Edwards folding, and giving into TO's demands though

My personal pre-season top 5:

1. Steelers
2. Giants
3. Patriots
4. Titans
5. Colts

 

[MapleLeaf]

1. Pats
2. Steelers
3. Eagles
4. Giants
5. Titans

That's my top 5

Maple, do you mind explaining how in the hell the Eagles are above the Giants?

 

[MapleLeaf]

They were better last year and the Eagles only got better

12-4 and the top record in the NFC is worse than 9-6-1? I know about your extreme hard on for McFail but that's just ridiculous. We got better as well.

 

[MapleLeaf]

Who got farther though, Eagles were 5 minutes away from the SB.

I like McNabb, I think he's a great leader and a great guy, and a great football player, a future HOFer

That's just sad, going with the "who got farther though". How did the Eagles get better, and the Giants just stay the same?

List of Eagles injuries:

Ingram
Bradley
Cole
Kolb
Andrews
Peters

Injuries keep on racking up while Osi and Boley are getting healthy to lead the top D in the league...
