Why so angry
I like tacos.
Midswat, I'm with you on the Panthers. If Newton can cut back on the turnovers and/or if the Panthers' defense can get a bit better, they've got a good chance at being a playoff team.
Hey I just posted it, and this is crazy, but here's my pre-TC Power Rankings, suck it baby.
Midswat, are the Panthers going to be your Houston Texans. Continually proclaiming them an underrated playoff team until they finally make the playoffs?
1. Philadelphia Eagles - I'm higher on this team than most. If you look at last year, years end, there wasn't a team playing better than them - save for the Giants playoff run. But I think if it had been the Eagles that had snuck into the post season, they would've been the team that won it all. They were playing that good. Their two biggest weaknesses were slot corner (not having a true slot guy) and LB. DeMarco Ryans, provided healthy, ought to provided a major improvement to the position. And I was real high on Brandon Boykin heading into the draft and believe he could end up a steady slot corner by years end.
3. Dallas Cowboys - I'm a homer. We brought guys in to compete at OG/C. I think they'll provide at least adequate play, which we certainly didn't have last year. I think with the addition of Carr and Claiborne, we've turned a glaring weakness into a major strength. My biggest concern at this point is safety play. Truth be told - and yeah, I'm being a homer, but I think #3 might be low for us - provided we remain healthy. NFC East winners.
5. Detroit Lions - I want to rank this team higher. I love their offensive skill position players, and I think Stafford is going to end up one of the best in the league. But I question their LT spot, and cornerbacks. Defensive line is a strength, even if Fairley is a flake.
6. Carolina Panthers - It seems odd ranking them this high. I was dead wrong on Cam Newton. I think he'll soon be regarded as one of the best players in the NFL. Their offensive line is one of the best in the league, and their running game will give people fits as it always does. Their biggest weakness, DT, isn't as bad as most people think. Wouldnt' suprise me if they end up winning the NFC South this year.
8. New Orleans Saints - This'll be a down year for them. The list of suspended players, losing Sean Payton, the overall controversy that'll be a year long distraction.
9. Atlanta Falcons - They, like Dallas, have questions on their interior offensive line. I'm not sold that Matt Ryan is the golden-child QB that he once was portrayed as. They've revamped their defense in some areas, but losing Curtis Lofton will hurt. Not sure how much Asante Samuel will help considering his age and the talent at WR he'll have to face.
10. San Francisco 49'ers - I think last year was a bit of a mirage. I don't think they're a 13-3 team again. I think they're the best team in the division, but it's still a division uglier than a bag of dead babies. I could easily see the Rams winning the division at years end, while the 49'ers end up 9-7, and desperately trying to find a QB in the upcoming draft.
12. Washington Redskins - I'm not sold on RGIII. I'm not sold on that offensive line. And I'm not sold on that receiving or cornerback units. I think they'll give some teams fits, Cowboys included, but I still think they're the worst team in the division when it's all said and done.
13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - I don't think Greg Schianno will make a quality NFL coach. I do like thier draft, but they're a young team and I'm not sold on Josh Freeman. Plus, they play in a brutal division.
14. Seattle Seahawks - Matt Flynn is a fraud. So is Pete Corral.
16. Minnesota Vikings
I think Middy hit his head on something.
