Atlanta


In that order

I don't think there is a team in the league that is definatly better than us. We have the best recieving core in the division. A top notch D-line. A decent RB core. A LBing core 1 pick away from being the best in the league. The best defensive backfield in the league. A good Quarterback, and a franchise tight end. My only doubts are on the Oline. Kosier is a question mark. But with Fabini I know for a fact that it will at least be better than last year. Which to be fair, until Flozell was injured, wasn't terrible.

I did.

Edge + two great young WRs and the 2nd best defense in their division. They are an improved OL away from being a playoff contender.

ESPN shared light on this when they were "on the clock". Potentially they can turn their organization around this year, BUT they are the Arizona Cardinals. Possibly, they will find a way to screw it up. But you never know. Look at the Bengals.

we hear the same crap every yr about them

I like some of their defensive players and their WR's, but their OL is terrible and Warner is an injury waiting to happen...if they finish better than 7-9 or 8-8 its because the Rams and Niners gave them 4 easy wins

Best receiving core in the league? Debatable... TO is great but isn't as good as Steve Smith IMO. Glenn is good, but after that, depth drops off considerably. One injury to either receiver (and the nature of the job dictates there will probably be at least one injury) and you now have problems with Crayton stepping up to #2 and TO or Glenn having to be #1. Both can do it, but Crayton won't deliver at #2. The same problem with Carolina. Washington by far has the most depth. A true #1 in Moss, and three decent #2/3s depending on how you look at it.
Decent RB core. Don't look now, but you have two dudes who should be back-ups. Compared to Betts (back-up to CP), your starting RB(s) have the exact same YPC as he does. I really think that JJ or MBIII couldn't start for 75% of the teams in the NFL. But we'll see, maybe this is the year JJ breaks out.
Best defensive backfield in the league? No way... Roy Williams is a clown in coverage and you have no FS. Terrance Newman is great, but Glenn is just good. The Steelers have a better backfield IMO. Ike Taylor and Townsend are good (not as good as Newman, but better then Glenn) but Polamalu and Clark are much better then RW and whatever jabroni you have now at FS. BTW, after reviewing the game tape for that last Moss catch in week 2, i saw that RW was never cheating towards the short route, he only took steps backwards and then turned around and ran straight backwards and Moss still burnt him...

Don't forget Washington

Who???????????

 

[burmafrd]

Has Betts ever had a game like JJ had? JJ can take over a game and has shown that. Your stupidity and foreskins homerism is pathetic. MB is equal to Betts at least. Portis has shown himself to be pretty damn good- but Gibbs runs him to death and by the end of the season he is done- as witness the last few games last year.
TO is at least top 3 in the league- Moss is not even that. Glenn is equal to moss- so the foreskins wr's look pretty sad. TE- JOKE. Brunnell is at best equal to Bledsoe- and is one more good hit on those fragile and often injured bones from going bye bye for good.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Until the first spring training game, none of them are better than us. Afterwards? We'll see.

JMO, but we have some depth issues at NT..

David.

if depth at NT is an issue, I say we're in pretty good shape lol

that's not the only issue though, FS and OLB are big issues

 

[Bob Sacamano]

"on paper" doesn't mean a thing to me. So (going by last year's actual performance):
Giants
Washington
Chicago
Tampa Bay
Carolina
Seattle

we beat Carolina, didn't play Tampa or Chicago

How we deal with injuries is going to decide this season just it decides every season.

Every team has it's sore spots. Even the 1992 Cowboys would be in trouble if they lost an Aikman, Emmitt, Irvin, or Haley. You must be both good and lucky to win the Superbowl.

Firstly, I'd say no team in the NFC is head and shoulders better than us.

In terms of better on paper right now, I'd say

Seattle - Better OL, more solid at RB (proven runner, that is), Hasselback seems to have really matured. (That said, I think our starting WRs and TE is better.)

Carolina - maybe. But I think we're roughly equal right now.

I consider the NFC East teams more or less equal - all within 1-2 games of each other.

Who else would you add to the list?

carolina....they have a good OL, good WR group now. have a decent Running game, and good defense. and a steady QB.

Seattle....they lost hutchinson and if they don't replace him that's a big hit to their OL.

Giants....they have a good defense. good offense...

 

[Mash]

lets me see.....better or equal to Dallas

JMHO

Sea
Car
Atl
Phil
NYG
Wash
Tampa
Chi

Some of these teams will fall....others will surprise...in this watered down league anything can happen.....as some say here.....we won 10 games with QC....our schedule was favorable.
