They're still Houston, and they beat Kansas City

Anyone who puts stock in preseason shouldnt be watching football

Apparently, anyone putting stock in a 0-1 team over a 1-0 team isn't watching football.

So Minnesota is better than New Orleans? Good to know

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

You've got Houston in the bottom 5, lower than even Tampa?...A team that actually won and looked good doing it and spanked Dallas in preseason?

You can spanked in preseason? really?

I am sorry. I really like Herm Edwards... but the guy is not a head coach. The Texans winning that game is no big deal.

It may not make Houston a great or good team, but the comparison is to Tampa. How about giving Tampa and Houston a tie for the 5th worst team in the league?

Texan fans have to hold onto any nugget they can. You would have thought they had won the SuperBowl after they won that game. It's sad really.

Indeed.

BTW - your other post about McNabb and what he left on the field was HILARIOUS....

IMO:

1: New England
2: Indy
3: San Diego
4: Cincy
5: Pittsburgh

32: Cleveland
31: Atlanta
30: Oakland
29: Kansas City
28: Houston

Top 5:
1: Indy - Great offense (has been for years now) and the defense did pretty well too, held the Saints to 10 points.
2: New England - Still one of the best all around teams in the league
3: Cincy - I don't care how you do it, but if you beat a team like Baltimore, you are pretty damn good
4: San Diego - LT gets TDs. That's all there is to it. You stop him running, he'll throw one on you. Defense looked real good too.
5: Pittsburg - Roethlesberger threw how many TDs? Wow... Had a good running game in Willie Parker and a dangerous D

Bottom 5:
32: Cleveland - Ugliest football ever played this side of the special olympics.
31: Atlanta - When your starting QB is a downgrade from Vick, you know your f-ed. Needs to rebuild and needs Brian Brohm. Luckily Dallas will pick Mcfadden with the first pick (and then subsequently can't pay his $300M bonus)
30: Oakland - Defense got torched, offense is a trainwreck. Russell should help, but can only do so much in the .013 seconds he has to throw the pass.
29: New York - Allows 45 points and 128 QB rating to Romo. Shows a nice side by Eli torching Dallas secondary, Eli is now hurt. Better when Eli and Jacobs return completely from injury.
28: Tampa Bay - A shell of a once dominant defense and an offense that relies on an old QB to throw to an ancient receiver. The cadillac broke down.

[L-O-Jete]

Same for me, can't be a homer yet and put Dallas in an initial Top 5 based on how the defense looked...Even Houston deserves top 5 over Dallas at this point, but it is only Week 1 so no biggie.

My Top 5

1. Indianapolis
2. New England
3. Pittsburgh
4. Cincinnatti
5. Minny or SD


My Bottom 5

1. Cleveland
2. Atlanta
3. Tampa
4. KC
5. Oakland

Minny a top 5???????? Tavaris is no top 5 team QB, to be a top 5 team you need at least a "Bus driver".

 

[SkinsandTerps]

Minnesota has a very good defense. I can't say they are a top 5 team right now, but they are probably top half of the league.

Hos, putting Miami in the bottom 5 is just a slap at the Commanders. If the Cowboys lose this week to the Dolphins...hmmm.

Not, the Dolphins reallky are that bad, and yes, Washington still needed OT to beat them at home

 

[Pabst]

Top 5
1. Indianapolis - They have the rings, so they have the top spot, at least until they lose a game.
2. New England - Spying or not, in my opinion, this is one of the two most talented teams in the league. Losing Bill for an extended period of time would really hurt, though.
3. San Diego - And this is the other. They looked sloppy against the Bears, but still managed to pull out the win. Once the offense gets into mid-season form, they'll be scary.
4. Carolina - Beat up on a pretty good St. Louis team. Manhandled one of the leagues' premier running backs. For now, they're the most complete team in the NFC. That could change if Delhomme gets cold, though.
5. Cincinnatti - Put them here simply because I didn't like anyone else. They played a close one against the Ravens, but got bailed out by a faux PI call on Heap at the bottom of the ninth. Palmer will need to start hitting his recievers if they want to stay in the top 5.

Just missing the cut:

Pittsburgh - Beating up on Cleveland does not impress me. Play that well against the other two division rivals, and we'll talk.
Dallas - Both the offense and defense look explosive, but for very different reasons. The secondary needs to play better, or the defense will continue to be manhandled.

Bottom 5
32. Cleveland - I've never heard of a team trading it's starting QB after benching him in the opening game. They have some talent, but the organization is just a mess at the moment.
31. Kansas City - When Houston nearly shuts you out, you're in trouble. Players on both sides of the ball looked confused on the field. LJ and Gonzo are good players, but they have nothing else around them.
30. Atlanta - Every once in awhile, you see a team that just doesn't care about playing. Atlanta looked that way when they got whitewashed by Minnesota. I'm sure the Vick fiasco is hanging over their heads, but you have to at least try to earn that paycheck.
29. Oakland - So much for that vaunted defense. Kitna and the Lions' recieving corp made them look silly. A 5 win team at best this year.
28. Tampa Bay - Theres a saying, that if you have a lot of players at a position, then you probably have none. Look no further than the Buc's QB situation. I actually thought they might be 8-8 this year. Then I saw them play. Ouch. Garcia gives them a chance to compete, but only if he comes back strongly from that injury.

I'll go w/ your list Hos

No it isn't. I had them in my bottom 5 before the season ever started. I don't think the Skins are going to be as bad as I thought. I had you bottom 10 before the season. Now I'm not so sure.

BTW, notice no blind homers in this thread. Most don't have Dallas top 5.

Yet...

I wish I could do that. But until we beat NO, Philly and Chi I just can't put us up that high.
