Why isin't Houston higher?

They are clearly this years darkhorse

I'm sure the Ravens will do fine but to be honest, I'm worried about the Bungals as an opponent this year.

Lmao @ that comment

You guys fit the criteria nicely. Team had an average year last season, but because you're used to being garbage you think it means big things.

Falcons finish 9-7 at best this year.

Edit:
I can write like 2 paragraphs on how dumb that comment was. I'm not even going to waste my time or jinx my team.

Tampa Bay at 30 is reasonable considering what they've shown so far, but do you honestly think they will lose to the Browns in week 1?

[Colonel Angus]

Can someone tell me why the Cowboys are ALWAYS overrated going into a new season? Geesh.

The Falcons secondary still sucks but these power rankings are pretty meaningless

Still sucks? Jesus, the season didn't even start yet.

Do some of you think before posting? O_o

18th sounds about right for pre-season. I wouldn't be surprised if we took the 6th seed or if we missed the play-offs completely. It's going to depend on the first half of the season; if we go about 5-3 or 6-2, then we're going to be in the hunt.

Vince needs to continue to progress and the secondary needs to improve. I think if the defensive line stays healthy (especially Jason Jones), then the pass rush will be pretty good, which will make the secondary better, especially since Nick Harper is gone. Linebacker corps worries me a little bit too; Stephen Tulloch is ready for a big, break-out year, but without Bulluck now, guys like Will Witherspoon, Gerald McRath, David Thornton and Rennie Curran will have to step up.

Best case scenario at this point, 11-5, while worst case would be 6-10. I think we'll probably finish 9-7, just out of the playoffs, but good enough for second in the division.

Preseason power rankings mean as much as a positive game review from OS.

Need further proof?
