I dont know how they can say that the Giants are #1 without Strahan in the mix. They match up against us, we caught the wrong team at the wrong time. To give odds to win SB right now, you would have to say pats 25,colts 25,bolts 25 and everyone else together 25.
We have the weakest schedule, so our season wont even start til the playoffs. We can rest guys, lose a few games, let rookies play and get experience and alot of good things because of this. Our power rankings at week 14 will be ALOT more important. Other teams will beat each other up and get thinner, our problem will be the lack of competition. You cant say that with any other team.
Side note:I took a cab into Boston last week and the cabbie told me he drove LT around when he was here for the AFCCG. LT came off with attitude, telling the cabbie what bad drivers we were and saying "what do you guys have around here??" The cabbie slyly said"you might have a beach, but we got RINGS!" Bummed out,LT tipped the guy $20 after he waited outside the restaurant for an hour for dinner...that story made me smile

I saw one where the Colts were number 1(surprise) and the Giants were 7, I think we were either 3 or 4 behind the Chargers and/or Cowboys.

Dream scenario - the Pats go into SB43 with a 17-1 record against the Giants, win it, finish 18-1 and take home the Lombardi.

As great as the run for a perfect season was, it became so hyped that if NE didn't do it then the season would have been a failure on some level.

Scouse Patriot

Where they not healthy at the start of the season when they got crushed? And the season before? Geniune question as I can't remember.

I think they were.

Boston Boxer

our DB are weak, so are the LB to a certain extent. Until we fix that, we are not the team we were last year.

They should wait to do power rankings

I remember when the Pats shoved the Broncos out of the way en route to defeat by thePackers. it think it was chris slade who thought the pats were the ones to beat in the afc and we all know how well that turned out.

I think you're quickly becoming my favorite Charger fan ever. My order:

1. Pats
2. Bolts
3. Cowboys
4. Colts

I only rank the Colts at number 4 because of Manning's inexplicable ability to become a horrible quarterback in the playoffs. Colts fans can argue that he was the MVP of the Super Bowl until they are blue in the face but the fact of the matter is that the Colts defense clicked at the right time, not Manning. Even this year against the Chargers, Manning was still dancing in the backfield like a ballerina (not sure if that's how you spell it but whatever). Plus Harrison is old and while Reggie Wayne may be very good, he's no Marvin Harrison in his prime. The Cowboys, meanwhile, have another year of Romo progressing under their belts and they've pretty much kept the same team together from last year. IMO, they're a shoe-in for the NFC side of the Super Bowl (and I hope the Pats get there and pound them so I can see Jerry Jones and T.O. crying together).

Preseason power rankings are like mocks-idle speculation from uninformed outsiders.

Whatever turns you on...
