Meh, I think it's missing Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, and especially New Orleans. Any of whom are better than the Pats, the Ravens, the Texans, and the Steelers. And are just as good as the Niners and the Giants.

The Steelers are old, the Ravens and Texans don't have a decent QB(also the Ravens are aging too), and the Pats are only as good as their ability to beat those teams, the Wildcard Giants beat them.

I'd agree with the Pack being on top at the moment, if only because of the perception of loss with Goodell robbing New Orleans of her coach.

Detroit still has too many holes on their Defense. Chicago and NO i agree with. Philly still has to prove they can stop underachieving.

The Steelers are old


Come up with a new way to rip the team. Only guys on Defense over 30 are Keisel & Harrison, maybe Foote (I cant remember on him). Polamalu is just about to turn 30 iirc. This has been said for years now, ever since Warren Sapp got butthurt when he decided to skip through the Steelers while they were warming it. It didnt apply than, and doesnt apply now. Ravens are in the same situation as well. Got a few old players, but for the most part they are young. Even the "old players" on these teams still perform as well as the best youngsters across the rest of the league.

the Ravens and Texans don't have a decent QB(also the Ravens are aging too)


Schaub is about as good as they come when he is healthy. Remember, it wasnt that long ago he threw for 4800 yards, 29TDs and a 98 passer rating. Flacco is good when he gets protection, pretty much the same as any other QB (When Brady gets pressured for example, he completely breaks down. Point in case, Pats vs Steelers last season).
In other words, conservatives are generous with their own money, and liberals are generous with other peoples money.

plus Ray Rice is a great running back so these two can't really share the TDs the Ravens get equally...

The Eagles looked good this Pre-Season.

I still hope Reid gets fired regardless on how they do. His departure is looooooooooong overdue.

Surely this has to be at least a somewhat off year for the Saints? Just get through this season, and things will look better.
Pro Sports Daily has them 10-6, the NFC team with the worst records in the playoffs, losing the wild card game.

Football Nation has them out of the playoffs, losing the division to the Falcons.

Yahoo Sports has them out of the playoffs.

WTMY Fox Sports has them out of the playoffs.

What have they actually lost? Vilma was replaced by Lofton. Smith plays one of the few positions on the team where there is a little depth. And they already played without Payton Last season.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

I'm looking forward to this season, but not because the Vikings are going to be good. While I am looking forward to maybe seeing Adrian Peterson make his return, I think this year will more than likely be another year for Ponder and the newer players to develop.

Here are some predictions, even though there are only two:

- Top Divisions -

AFC North (Bengals, Steelers, and Ravens)
NFC North (Packers, Lions, maybe Bears)

- Rushing Leader -

I think MJD will take the spotlight here. :<
