Preseason NFC Rankings: Trailing the Giants and Cowboys?

[mheisig]

I know it's some random, know-nothing sports reporter, but he's got us in 4th place for the NFC - behind the Giants, Seahawks and Dallas.

They have at least factual reason to say the Giants and Seahawks, but Dallas? He's just another one on their knees for TO thinking he is going to instantly make them Super Bowl contenders. I almost want to vomit saying this again, BUT YOU ONLY SIGN TO WHEN YOURE ON THE VERGE OF WINNING IT ALL. THE COWBOYS ARE NOT.

[mheisig]

Pretty much my thoughts too. I personally wouldn't rank the Giants above the Seahawks, but that's six of one, half dozen of another.

It's the Cowboys at #3 that irks me - I'm sorry, but until I see consistent production from between Bledsoe and TO, a much tougher offense and an actual running game out of Julius Jones, they dont' belong at #3, or anywhere above the 'Skins.

On the other hand...is it possible that the Cowboys at #3 in someway answers or explains Question #3?

[TheMalcolmConnection]

If anything, I would put maybe the Panthers there. Cowboys AGAIN will not have a running game.

I'm cool with it. TO is an upgrade to Keyshawn and that should make an explosive offense better. However, the achilles heels of thier team last year was (1) thier OL, (2) thier inability to stop the run, and (3) thier tendency to give up big plays to Santana.

Every year there's a surprise team. dallas isn't what I'd call a long shot, but they are a team that's capable of a lot if the o-line is healthy & can play at the level they did early last year. This may be the year the nfc trumps the afc. Don't forget about tampa & atlanta, both made some good offseason additions.

Yes, they will make a run but let's get off of the Vick train before his career is off track. Gruden needs to sign a competing veteran QB.

I think he has the Skins below the Cowboys because no one gives Brunell any love. They all think he is fragile and over the hill. Tell me if you would rather have Brunell or Bledsoe? Is not Bledsoe over the hill? And how does signing T.O. instantly make you better than all of the additions the Redskins have made on both sides of the ball. Give me a break!

Being the Dawg is good! (although it piss's me off)

Ok guys let's remmember this is all paper before even tranning camp and pre season so whe have a lot way to go we have to see how the new additions on every team look once they start playign with each other.

Now I also dissagree with the ranking I for 1 don't think of NYG so high in my view there are teams that should be way higher i nour division here is my look I posted this in another thrend also.


1 Carolina (7)
2 Seattle (2)
3 Dallas (3)
4 NYG (1)
5 Washington (4)
6 Chicago (6)
7 Philadelphia (5)
8 Tampa Bay (9)
9 Atlanta (8)
10 Arizona (10)
11 STL (13)
12 NO (11)
13 Minesot (12)
14 GB (14)
15 Det (15)
16 SF (16)

[TheMalcolmConnection]

OK, if we're going on paper, then please be less homeristic and tell us why Dallas should be ranked higher than NY or Washington.

I would say on paper Carolina, Seattle and NY should be higher than the Skins and MAYBE Dallas underneath us, but no way above us.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I also don't see Chicago being that high up. Their offense still is stagnant as hell.

The only paper I'm going on is Charmin! Gibbs is our advantage.

ok malcom let me get this right if dallas should be MAYBE underneath the Skins how come theres no way they can be above your team. by saying maybe your giving a posibility that they should be higher but then you say they's no way ??????.

Ok now with my selection on paper.

carolina it's easy they lost a key player but they gain a new weapon on KJ that will help a verry good offense and by the addition fo tehir draft picks they should lead the division.

the NFC East.

I know dallas didn't make the playoffs last year and because I'm a boys fan yopu might say I'm bias even though in my hole time in this board I've tryed to have an onjective view i nall subjects.

if you remmember correctly last year dallas played a lot of close games vs top teams that at the end lsot because of 2 things not having a closer (TO) and not having a reliable kicker (vanderjack) we lost games like Seattle, Denver and Was becasue of missed easy FG that would had turn a 9 -7 to a 11-5 team or 12 -4.

And you might say the Oline problems but Dallas didn't really had oline problems untill F.Adams went down and we had to relly on to rookies for the rest of the year Adams is back, we sign fabini and replaced Allen who we all know wasn't his all self so right now on paper I see as the best team i nour division it depends on what happends next.
