Teams to Watch:
Vikings - Great D. If Johnson stays healthy they could go far.
Giants - Tough D. The jury is still out on the offense.
Cowboys - Tough D. Same as above re offense.
I think the Vikes are fucked b/c they lost their #1 receiver with two weeks to go... and Taylor is playing hurt- won't be able to carry the load. Eli is not his brother... his tells are worse than a retard playing poker. Any Defense worth their salt can read what he is doing and where he is going with the ball. The Boys are going to be lacking in decent pass protection- Philly, Wash & the Giants are all going to have Bledsoe on his ass all day- making the TO situation worse b/c he won't be getting the ball.

Raiders
Bengals
Raiders still need a year or two for Shell to turn things around... but they need serious line work on both sides of the ball. The Bengals are a question- 3 TD's against the fuckin' Packers is good and all- but we need to see what Palmer can do against a real pass rush. Word is that he still pulling his eyes off the receiver when being blitzed... if he can't get past that- its a bad bad thing...

Redskins
Chiefs
Titans
Agree on all 3- even the Skins. They are better than that game the other night- but even in Preseason- 41-0 is bad. In addition.. i think the trade for Duckett is a sign that Portis'injury is worse than they are letting on.

Vikings
Dolphins
Not the Vikes- but I agree with the Dolphins. They have a real QB, no RB controversy and a solid receiving corp.. I think there is a legitmate shot they push or the division.

Panthers
Patriots
Steelers
Colts
Eagles
Panthers are solid as hell
Pats- Not sold on 'em.. I think they may be a product of a weak divison- but they have to watch out for the Dolphins.
Steelers- They'll be back competing for the divison- but I think the pressure that the Birds front 4 got on Roth without bltizing should be a slight concern- though I still think they have one of the top 10 O lines in football
Colts- Not going to see too much of a drop off from James- Manningt will shoulder the load until Addai gets up to speed. Until then- he & rhoades will be a 1-2 punch..
Eagles- Going to surprise a shitload of people. Only wekness on the D is outside LB- they have alot of speed on the outside.. the front 4 is getting great pressure. In a divison where 2 of the QB's are statues- that is a beautiful thing. The signing of Stollworth gives a deep threat, B West is a mismatch in the flat.. if (and it s a big if) Buckhalter can stay healthy- they'll be fine.
