Jets - This team had the best defense in the league last year...and actually improved it during the offseason. Trading for Antonio Cromartie and Drafting Kyle Wilson and then signing Donovan Warren...GL passing the ball NE, Miami, well....anyone. Losing TJ and Leon wont affect much as Shonn Greene will prove he can be an everydown back while getting plenty of tips from LT, who will spell here in and there. Year Two for Mark Sanchez...it's going to be "dirty, filthy, and NASTY." With Braylon Edwards and Jerricho Cotchery on one side, and Superbowl MVP Santonio Holmes on the other....I am betting the farm the Jets are AFC Champions 2010.

Cowboys - I don't care how bad Wade Phillips is as a coach, or how much Romo is over rated, the offensive weapons, and Felix Jones being in his 3rd season, subplanting Marion Barber as starter, the Cowboys are this year's New Orleans Saints. Roy Williams hasnt shown much, but he will when he's pushed the entire preseason and regular season by rookie Dez Bryant. Miles Austin? Pro Bowl. Don't forget about Jason Witten. They will have questions on defense...none to label specificaly, but it will be enough, Romo will finally do it after tasting blood last year, the Cowboys, as much as I hate saying it, will be NFC Champions 2010. (Only if McNabahan doesn't turn the skins into an outstanding team, and the Madden Curse doesn't skip a beat in New Orleans.)

Bears - Jay Cutler isn't the greatest, but he just needs some time to get better....and a healthier, beefier defense to help keep his motivation. I'd say the Bears have done just that. Wakeup, NFC North, Chicago is gonna be grizzly.

Steelers - Ben's out for Six games, Hines Ward is yet again a year older, and MVP Santonio Holmes plays for the Jets now. Troy Poloamalu can't throw touchdowns. The Steelers are down this far because theyre supposed to be, not because they have a huge fan base.

Rams - Sam Bradford out performs Matt Stafford by leaps and bounds this year. Steven Jackson proves to be one of the elite dual threat runningbacks in the league. Rams are going to steal a few wins here and there from unsuspecting teams and really show that theyre ready to make a run at a winning season......soon, just maybe not this year.

Bills - Sorry Buffalo, your management and coaches wanted more "Pow, Pizazz, and excitement" on your team, not wins, so they drafted C.J. Spiller. There were so many other options available that would have helped your team immediately, or even trading down for a possible QB project in McCoy or Clausen (dont need to mention Tebow, thats just R-tarded) The Bills failed to bite, and being in the second toughest division in football, you will squat on 32nd place this season. 2011, Jake Locker is all yours.

[Dino 6 Rings]

These are always good for a laugh in April.

[Psyychoward86]

wtf do the chargers do every year to merit such respect as an elite team? Play defense at comical level? lol

[Merchant]

LOLLLLLLL... what a joke.

Can't wait for September

[SteelerEmpire]

We were ranked #1 by many rankings at the beginning of the season last year... we ended up 9-7 and didn't make the playoffs. The Saints were somewhere in the middle... and won the SB... I think these guys make these lists for betting purposes and just to have something to do.

:coffee:

[skinart82]

I can't wait to watch the jets fall flat on there face, just like the broncos did last year........it doesn't start to hurt till September

Thanks for the laugh polamalubeast :thumbsup: :chuckle:

Been asking myself this same question for years. I think their over-ratedness is especially egregious this year from my estimation. I mean, where exactly did they improve from the team they had a year ago that lost to the Jets of all teams (and no, I'm still not sold on this idea of Jets as "good team/elite team")?

[RoethlisBURGHer]

Funny, the Jets get to the AFC Championship Game last season on a strong run game, not a strong passing game.

For the first four to six games this season, that's what the Steelers will do. We can easily come out of the Ben suspension with a winning record.

[ricardisimo]

At least he's not calling them the "Official Power Rankings" anymore. Wasn't that him doing that last season?

[PalmerSteel]

great post. i hope we stay that low at least til season is in progress. they ALWAYS play better when dissed by the media

[AllD]

Sam Rothstein did not put this list together.

:applaudit:

[steeldawg]

we are behind the bears?

[BigBen'sSwagger]

So now we know who the paper champs are.

[steelerdave1969]

LOL at this thread.

No doubt in my mind, this is definitely funny. But even so, what would you expect the Steelers to be ranked without Ben at starting QB? The Steelers most likely will be lucky to be ranked that high.

[Nadroj 20]

Im so glad i found all this out in April so now i dont have to worry about it later.....lets start next years draft then shall we? :coffee:

[steelerchad]

The top of that list is pretty close to what I would say. I think the Steelers belong around #10 preseason.
I have a problem with the Dolphins, 49ers being ahead of us. Bengals and Chargers I think will have tough seasons.

[SH-Rock]

Another year, another flood of haters...Lets hope that Lucky "7" gets the Steelers a superbowl win

[Psyychoward86]

way to catch that subtle omen :wink:

[steelerdude15]

How in the hell does the 49ers and the Bears, of all teams, the Bears be a better team coming up this year, what the hell is this? I have nothing against Chicago, but they're not that good, they might have made some key additions, but no way are they better. By the way, good spelling on "Poloamalu" by the writer. :rofl:

they beat us last year :banging:

[revefsreleets]

If the Patriots aren't at the top of the off-season power rankings then the list ain't shit. EVERYONE knows the Patriots are the March-August champions!

[Vincent]

The jets in 1st and the Saints in 11th............



........behind the bungholes. Yeah, that's "linear".

Is there some "certification" course that I can take so I too can get free money from mere opinions?

[steelerdude15]

they beat us last year :banging:
Yeah I know, that was very frustrating. :mad:

[Willem Gerber]

Hell I would hope the Colts win it, but I do not see that coming....
Sure we have one of the best all time QB's at the helm with better( more experienced WR's) , but that great QB is extremely unproductive.

The Colts are close to the top every year, yet only one ring...rankings suck

#1 - Jets


I wouldn't crown them yet, we'll show the NFL that the Jets are truly the New York "Not Yets"

[LambertIsGod58]

Ranked behind the Bengals? Seriously?
