I don't have a huge problem with the 'Skins at #10, that seems pretty fair to me.

Seattle at #1 is a total crock though - they finished #2, made no offseason adjustments of note, and not to mention the absurdly easy schedule they played last year, #1 is a load of BS. That team is going down the tubes - mid level competitor at best.

I also don't understand why everyone is on their knees, mouth open for the Dolphins and Patriots. Just sick of hearing about those two.

Why is everyone so intent on picking the surprise team of the year? The whole point of a "surprise" team is that no one picked them. IF the Cardinals suddenly make a Super Bowl run, I won't be surprised because every other sports writer is making the prediction. It's not a surprise if you talk about it for years in advance folks.
