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.
Agreed. I'm just tired of hearing about the Pats dynasty being over. So-called experts always seem to forget when they are wrong.

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.
Maybe, but we're looking at 2008, not 2007. Pats are coming into next year healthly, from what I gather. Chargers have Rivers, Gates, Merriman and several others coming off significant surgeries in the offseason, and LT healing from a bruised MCL. That has to be taken into consideration.

It'll be interesting to see how this season plays out in terms of the Colts and Chargers. The chargers winning in the playoffs was impressive. I'm curious to see if they can own the Colts again this season.

We seem to have Manning's number dialed in for the last 3 years. For some reason, the Colts don't play well against the Chargers. They are always a threat, however, my only real concern will continue to be the Pats.

Manning without Harrison is definitely less of a threat. Seems the Colts may be the ones on their way out

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.
That's the order I would put them in. For those doubting the Pats ability to replace a couple of guys. Remember this. Not many Super Bowl teams pick 7th overall. And, also have the 6th pick in the 3rd round.

Agreed. You're already set on offense - still the #1 ranked offense IMO. As for defense, you still have Bruschi, Vrabel, AD, Wilfork (key vets) as well as a few good FA pickups, and with your draft picks, will fill in any remaining needs. That's why I thought the Pats ranked #4 (per this Power Ranking) was a joke.
Didn't you also lose Stallworth, Wilson and Colvin (and possibley Jr.)? Plus some of the guys you still have (Harrison, Bruschi and Vrabel come to mind) ain't getting any younger.
All that said, I would still put you up there ahead of the Colts and Bolts most likely and probably the G-Men except for that little SB loss issue.......
???
Cut Stallworth due to ineffective play. Gaffney played more snaps at his position for the last 6 weeks and into the playoffs then Donte did. Donte never really caught on here.
Eugene Wilson was a joke. He was deactivated on some weeks by the team. He pretty much lost all playing ability and his ability to stay on the field as well.
Colvin was a cut that may or may not effect us come season time. His massive achilles injury would have surely killed any pass rushing play he had left and if we replace him with a blitzing rookie like Gholston/Groves i would call the match a wash.
At the same time you could also say Moss and Brady are older too. Just because numbers keep on rolling upwards doesnt mean they have to suck more. Age is just a number, as long as your playing well i dont care if your 50.

These rankings are a joke.
Wait another month and someone will have the Pats ranked 1 and Chargers 8.
Pats Ranked 2 chargers 3rd.
Chargers 1 Pats 32.
People just pull stupid ass facts out of their ass and give tiny reasons for why they did so.
There were power rankings after we lost Romeo Crennel and Charlie Weis saying Patriots will now fall back into misery. People will do anything to trash the good teams.
Comin up soon for Charger fans. Phillip Rivers will be thinking about so much money that it hurts his team. Power ranking 12
The Giants are going to win 6-8 games next year and miss the playoffs. Anyone should be able to see Coughlin won't be able to sustain the good vibe from last year. It's so predictable I can't wait for it to happen.
