I'm surprised no one's posted this yet, but here they are (sports.espn.go.com):


  1. Patriots
  2. Eagles
  3. Colts
  4. Broncos
  5. Chiefs
  6. Seahawks
  7. Falcons
  8. Panthers
  9. Ravens
  10. Titans
  11. Dolphins
  12. Packers
  13. Vikings
  14. Rams
  15. Cowboys
  16. Buccaneers
  17. Bengals
  18. Redskins
  19. Raiders
  20. Jaguars
  21. Bears
  22. Saints
  23. Bills
  24. Jets
  25. Lions
  26. Steelers
  27. Texans
  28. Browns
  29. Giants
  30. Cardinals
  31. 49ers
  32. Chargers


As always, lists like these are highly subjective. That being said, I'm surprised to see the Donkeys ranked so high. Here's hoping Tatum Bell becomes Clinton Portis II.

Is it September yet?

12? 12? THAT'S where they rank the Pack, despite the whole offense coming back?

They must have no faith in our secondary at all...and that's the only glaring weakness.

Likewise, I think Miami is rated a tad high. They have no set starting QB yet, David Boston has been busy being David Boston since he got here, I'm still not sure they have 5 guys who can block and the best move by the offense this season may end up being Ricky's haircut.

So they're not exactly inspiring me to put them in the top 1/3 of the league. But then again, maybe they'll do better with lowered expectations. God knows they have issues with meeting high expectations.

No. It's an annual tradition: Eagles make the NFC Title game, lose at home to a team that they're supposed to crush. My money's on the Cardinals this year.

12th place....good spot to start off...and after hearing endless blabber from other NFC North teams telling me the Pack was going in the wrong direction, it's a nice change....which I thought our demise was greatly exaggerated.

How in the hell are the Titans so far down at No. 10. I'm not a Titans mark or anything, but there's now way that the Ravens, Panthers, Falcons, and Seahawks should rank above the Titans. Probably not the Broncos either.

I think the main question with the Titans is McNair's health. If he keeps getting banged up they won't finish in the top ten. If he can stay healthy, then they likely are top five. Big question though.

I love McNair as a player, but I just feel like the day's going to come sooner that later that he doesn't bounce back from the beating he takes on a game to game basis as fast as he has. It's like Allen Iverson and the beating HE takes and how it now seems to be catching up with him.

Let me get this straight...the Bears finish strong last year, they add a couple of very nice pickups in free agency, make a nice draft pick, the QB will have another training camp and preseason under his belt, and we're barely ranked ahead of the freaking Lions to avoid being the lowest ranked team in the NFC North? WTF?

Jonesin' for football. I'll try to scratch that itch by attending an AF2 game this weekend (Green Bay Blizzard against somebody), then AFL next weekend as I catch the Chicago Rush take on the Dallas Desperados.

Da Bears? Grossman's still a second year QB, who has only started one (or two?) games. The o-line, while it should be better, is still up in the air at left tackle. There's still no proven running game (remember, Jones couldn't start in Tampa Bay). And remember last year when everyone was whining about Urlacher being over-rated on the airwaves down there? What's changed there -- they're still looking for the reincarnation of Washington and Traylor on the inside to protect Urlacher.

What about the 'Skins? They're ranked freaking 18th when all they've done is improve their team over the off-season. Hell, having Gibbs alone should have put us in the top 15!

I think losing Kearse and Smith on the D-Line, Wycheck retiring hurts....yes, they retooled in the draft, but you can't immediately fix losing 2 good DLs by drafting college kids.

When you're the defending Super Bowl champions and you make a massive upgrade at your only true weak spot on offense, it's be a traveshamockery for you to NOT be at the top of any preseason list.
