Anyway, here are the top 4 Rankings:

1) New York Giants
2) San Diego Chargers
3) Indianapolis Colts
4) New England Patriots

Thoughts? This should be fun.
hehehe...

Yeah, the Gints are on top.

Uh huh...

Jets are closing the gap! (and leapfrogging the Bills I guess?)

Not that hard to at least somewhat close a 12 game gap...

Cowturds will imo... I'm not saying that I like them though.

I think it is funny that this guy has the Pats ranked 15 spots ahead of the Jets and the Jets are closing the gap. At this rate, the Jets might overtake the Pats by 2012. But then again, that is the year that many predict the world will end. It may take the end of the world to let the Jets finish ahead of the Patriots.

That's what I'm thinking. If I had to rank the top four, I would say:

1) Pats
2) Chargers
3) Colts
4) Cowboys

Yes, the Giants won the SB, but I see them regressing next year, not becoming better. Just because you win the SB doesn't mean you should be ranked #1 the following year. That's what I hate about these ridiculous pre-season rankings.

Despite their status as champs, this is once again a three team race between the Pats, Bolts and Colts. That's not to say someone else can't win the Super Bowl, just that of those three teams, I'd say it's about 70% that one of them wins it all.

Doesn't this happen every damn year? Every sports writer has the key to way the Patriots are falling apart. For four years we have been "on our way out" and yet somehow we just managed to win every regular season game last year.

The media REALLY want LT to win a Superbowl, I guess, and apparently repeatedly telling the Chargers "you are better than the Patriots" is the way to make that happen.

I can see the Giants at number 1 because you have to respect that they did win the Superbowl, but the Colts and Chargers ahead of NE? Come on. Stop it. It's just bull****. It's always more bull**** and man I am tired of it.

IMO the Chargers should be ranked #1. They beat the Colts with Billy Volek and probably would've won in Foxboro if Gates, Rivers and LT were healthy.

Keep in mind, this is only 1 website's opinion. I don't think any legitimate sports writer can argue "the Pats are on the way out." That would be a ridiculous statement.

Secondly, I believe once the draft is completed, you will see the rankings change quite a bit. Pre-season rankings are bull@#$% anyway and are only opinions, not based on performance.

Yeah, if. If Matt Light played better, we would have won the Superbowl. If Asante could catch, we would have won.

You know what else, San Diego would have lost if Tom Brady didn't have a bad game!

Oh wait, they lost anyway. End of story.
