Let me take a guess at everyones favorite teams on here.

Rams fan. I think the Rams offense is going to be very good this year if the O-line holds up, but the D just aint cuttin it. As good as the Rams offense is, they can't make up for that ridiculous defense. I hope the Rams prove me wrong, I'm not a Rams fan but I like to see them succeed.

They added two solid LB's to an already decent LB corps. Edwards and company believe they have workable solutions to their OL problems. I'm not worried about the QB spot.
Chiefs fan. 4.7 yards per carry from our running backs, Peyton 30/38 isn't exactly shutting down the Colts offense...But 3 interceptions is very impressive. I wouldn't say the Chiefs shut our offense down, but I'll admit...Ty Law owns Peyton Manning, and that is a very hard title to gain.
Fat Strat wrote:I'm not going to say that your rankings on the Chiefs are wrong, cause it's pretty fair. Maybe a little higher (15 or so) considering they were a playoff team last year and have improved both offensively and defensively. They are definitely a team to watch and could very easily have a top 10 defense next year to accompany a top-notch running game.
How much impact with QB play have on our club? Not much.
Chiefs fan. On the QB situation, it sure as hell looked like you could have used one in the AFC Wild Card game. The Chiefs are a team like the Steelers though, they can get by with a decent QB. I think the Chiefs can move up in those rankings for sure, but not getting a first down against the COLTS defense in the playoffs until the 3rd down is pretty terrifying if the same QB is going to lead your team next year. Do they have a good second running back this year? LJ may get worn out. I'm sure that's why he only had 32 rushing yards against the Colts. With a little rest, he may had gotten up to 40

Rams fan. If the Seahawks are healthy all year...Why not?
Socnorb11 wrote:The Rams were near the bottom of the NFC in total defense last year....... and that was playing in the offensively-challenged NFC West (Arizona, Seattle and San Francisco all finished in the bottom 7 of the NFC in offense last year). Seattle, San Francisco and Arizona all finished in the bottom half of the NFC in total defense, too........... so it's hard to get excited about the performance of St. Louis' offense.
Couldn't agree more.

Seriously though, this team is stacked. They are every bit as good as the Colts...It's a tossup between 1 and 2. (I hope your not a Pats fan, I actually like you)...I'm sure you're just making a good point

I for one was shocked, SHOCKED, to see them number 1.
Aren't you a Bears fan?
I love how everyone thinks THEIR team is under ranked.
Don't get me wrong, I would argue if the Colts weren't #1 either. ESPN has the Pats #1 and the Colts #2...Any Colts fan would have Colts 1 and Pats 2, and vise versa for a Pats fan. Maybe it is a little bias, but until the Colts lose, they have still won the last three meetings between the two teams, including an AFC Championship. When these two teams square off this season, it will be Manning vs Brady again, and whoever is better, will win. Randy Moss isn't going to be the Randy Moss he was with Daunte Culpepper...At least I hope not.
As for the Rams fans, sorry, I'm not feeling it yet. They are a decent team in the NFC, and that probably wont get them far. Are they that much better this year than last year?
