The Patriots are cheaters and should be banned from competing in the NFL until 2058 but they won't and their roster is still stacked. But...The Colts are the champs and until they get knocked off, how can they not be the best in the league..Indy is on top until they lose.
note (rankings are a compilation of everyone on the Cooler's rankings)
- Colts: They just dominated the alleged NFC favorite, whatever that means. Manning, Harrison, Wayne, that just isn't fair.
- Patriots: I know they cheated. I know their QB is a homosexual and their coach is a D bag and their safety used HGH. Let's face it though, they are loaded and Belichick will probably find a new way to cheat like tapping into the head sets of their opponents so that the offensive signals are simultaneously radioed into the defensive coordinator.
- Chargers: They lost at home to NE in the playoffs and then hired Norv Turner...I don't get it.
- Bengals: I didn't like the hall of fame jacket celebration. I expect more from CJ. This offense is dangerous regardless.
- Steelers: I am going to be at Heinz Field this weekend and it could get ugly. Either the Bills are going to get annihilated or the Bills are going to win and I am going to get my ass kicked/possibly murdered after the game. Should be interesting.
- Cowboys: I still don't think I am ready to go to the NFC yet. I can't put the Broncos here because they should be 0-1 and I can't put the Ravens here because McGahee and McNair are awful. Dallas by default because they have my boy Wade running the show. Also, I don't think there is much of an argument that they look the best out of the NFC teams.
- Saints: They still have a high powered offense...vs NFC opponents. Indianapolis embarassed them but they still can be talked about as a favorite in the NFC. After all, they play Tampa and Atlanta 4 times.
- Ravens: They still have Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Chris McCalister regardless of how bad their offense is and will be this season. If their offense didn't turn the ball over 6 times they would have beaten the Bengals.
- Bears: Rex Grossman is atrocious. Cedric Benson isn't the answer. 2 Defensive starters out for season. Chicago 8-8 come year end, but still could win the NFC Norris.
- Seahawks: A healthy Alexander will allow this team to cruise through the NFC west. That division is bad as proven on Monday Night.
- Broncos: Their secondary is ridiculous and they are incredibly lucky that their week one opponent was outclassed at the head coach position. Shanahan vs. Jauron...mismatch. Shanahan vs most NFL coaches...mismatch.
- Eagles: I don't know if that week one loss was a fluke but McNabb was shaky. The receiver core is really bad. Is Reggie Brown a number one? I don't even know who they have after that. Brian Westbrook will probably lead that team in receptions, but is he good enough to carry them to a potential wild card berth.
- Titans: As much as I hate him and hate this franchise for the pain they have caused me over the years, let's face it, Vince Young is a freak. He can carry this team on his own. Chris Brown 175 yards against a stout Jaguars defense is impressive. He showed spurts a few years ago. Maybe he will be an adequate replacement for T Hanks.
- Panthers: Maybe this is the year they actually make a run. They have been such a popular Super Bowl pick in recent years and people have forgot about them. They got a nice road win in St. Louis and could challenge the Aints in the division. QB could still be a question mark.
- 49ers: In the Mediocrity that is the NFC anything is possible. This team added Clements and Patrick Willis to what should be an exciting opportunistic defense. They made the golden boy Matt Leinart look shaky in the opener. Their offense has to be better though. I still don't see anything in Alex Smith. He has had some decent games and hasn't shown anything special since his Utah days.
- Jaguars: They still have 2 monsters in the middle with Stroud and Henderson. Jones Drew and Taylor were MIA in their opener but we all know what they can do. The Jags will be tough to beat all season at home as usual, let's just wait and see what team shows up away from home.
- Rams: They have too much talent on offense to not push .500 in the NFC. If their defense can stop anyone they can compete in that division. Again, it is weak. They got off to a terrible start at home against Carolina. Fantasy owners are hoping Steven Jackson is the beast he was projected to be.
- Packers: Brett Favre's last harrah? Good start Sunday with a win over the alleged contender in Philadelphia.
- Cardinals: So many young and talented players on offense. New coach Ken Whisenhunt should help this team get back on their way to mediocrity and possibly win 7 games. They had no business losing week 1 against the 49ers...I guess they were just the less bad team in that game. KICK THE BALL OUT OF BOUNCE!
- Bills: Yeah I am a homer and I know I have written off the season already but I can't find another team that I can say is better than Buffalo with any confidence. Lynch looked good. Despite all the injuries and no names on D they held Denver to 15 points and should have won the game. The play calling has to be better. The Bills schedule will be a bigger nightmare than their injuries. Kevin Everett is the man.
- Giants: Nice defense. Actually, were they even playing defense in that game? 45 points allowed in one week...Romo 5 touchdowns...Eli injured...Can Jared Lorenzen fill the void? Coughlin the drill sergeant. No Tiki. Brandon Jacobs hurt. So many questions so few answers.
- Redskins: They are 1-0 and couldn't crack the top 20. Jason Campbell is just not an NFL quarterback yet, let's face it. Clinton Portis?
- Lions: I don't believe the hype. Kitna guaranteed 10 wins? He is an idiot and that is why he can not last with a team for more than 2 years. I give them 7 with an improved offense. I still don't know who their coach is or where he came from.
- Jets: This team sucked last year and they will suck this year. They finally play actual teams this year and if they win 6 games I will be shocked. Cheating or no cheating, the Jets got wiped at home on opening day, and that doesn't happen to decent NFL teams.
- Dolphins: Trent Green is old, Ronnie Brown is a bust, the defense is getting way too old. It is going to be a long season for Miami.
- Texans: This could be the most improved team in the NFL this year. A proven vet at RB in Ahman Green and a fresh start at QB in Matt Shaub. Only if they drafted Reggie Bush.
- Oakland Raiders: Their offense actually scored over 20 points and their defense goes ahead and allows 36 to the Lions. Put in Culpepper, no one wants to see Josh McCown. LaMont Jordan can really help this offense after last year when he was a complete non factor.
- Vikings: I can't get on board with a team whose QB is Tarvaris Jackson. A Pete is a monster and started things off with around 160 in total offense including a 60 plus yard touchdown reception. Before I get excited, they were playing Atlanta.
- Bucs: Is Gruden on the hot seat? They haven't done anything since the year after Dungy left the job. The Seahawks handled them easily, and that will be a theme for this team. What a one year wonder Cadillac Williams was.
- Chiefs: Larry Johnson way overused last year. Look for a major decrease in production. Brodie Croyle - not an NFL Qb. Damon Huard - not an NFL QB. What a fall since Vermeil left the Chiefs.
- Falcons: The only thing that makes me happy about being a Bills fan right now is that I am not a Falcons fan. What a disaster of an offseason. I am sure Bobby Petrino is glad he left Louisville for this job. 2 pick 6s for Harrington? That should give him some confidence.
- Browns: Put in Quinn. Seriously. What do they have to lose?
