Pro Football Weekly Reveals Preseason Power Rankings

1. Green Bay Packers With all of their "losses," what did they really end up losing?
2. New England Patriots Collecting veteran D-linemen should help pass rush.
3. Philadelphia Eagles With DeSean in camp, biggest issue is Maclin's mystery illness.
4. Pittsburgh Steelers Re-signing Ike Taylor was surprisingly easy, it turned out.
5. Atlanta Falcons Sat back and waited for Ray Edwards ... now will he produce sacks?
6. Baltimore Ravens Vonta Leach will make Ray Rice a very happy man.
7. New York Jets So, do the players who gave up salary for Nnamdi get it back?
8. San Diego Chargers Have been able to maintain most of the talent on the roster.
9. New Orleans Saints Have imposing interior with Franklin, Ellis and Rogers.
10. New York Giants Eagles steal the offseason thunder, but Jints still in good shape.
11. Indianapolis Colts For $90 mil, let's not give Peyton the Good Samaritan award just yet.
12. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Underrated move: re-signing OG Davin Joseph.
13. Houston Texans Made smartest gear shift going for Joseph over Asomugha.
14. Chicago Bears Something just feels wrong with Olin Kreutz missing.
15. Dallas Cowboys It had to kill Jerry Jones to sit out free agency for the most part.
16. Detroit Lions Linebackers set now; secondary remains biggest question mark.
17. Kansas City Chiefs Caught somewhere between revamping and reloading.
18. St. Louis Rams Might have overpaid for Mikell, missed the boat on big-play receivers.
19. Jacksonville Jaguars Added toughness, pop with new linebackers.
20. Arizona Cardinals Lot of new faces, but let's face it: It's Kolb or bust.
21. Oakland Raiders Still kicking themselves for Stanford Routt deal last year.
22. Seattle Seahawks Fans have to give Tarvaris longer leash than he got in Minnesota.
23. Miami Dolphins Orton ordeal not the way Miami wanted to start preseason.
24. Minnesota Vikings Transition from McNabb to Ponder could prove to be awkward.
25. Cleveland Browns Remaking defense with other teams' scraps.
26. San Francisco 49ers Could lose up to five defensive starters.
27. Buffalo Bills Hoping Brad Smith can haunt his old team twice a year.
28. Washington Redskins Adding pass-rushing threats should help defense.
29. Tennessee Titans Hasselbeck a nice move, but can they even compete at all?
30. Carolina Panthers Might have overpaid, but it has been a nearly perfect offseason.
31. Denver Broncos Still could use some defensive beef.
32. Cincinnati Bengals No team has had a worse offseason. Period.

Packers are actually gaining 14 players off of IR in addition to what they drafted and had...not a bad start to 2011...

 

Imo these ratings are a joke. How can the lions be at 16?

 

Normally I would agree. But who ranked below them would u put ahead of the lions?

Titans niners vikings

 

Titans, Niners, Vikings. Why, exactly? The 49ers haven't proven themselves. Titans have a new QB, and .. a disgruntled RB at the time being. Vikings? LOL. Seriously? The Lions made moves to improve, if they can stay healthy. I think they can be a surprise threat for the Wild Card this year. The Ravens and the Chargers are the only two I question being ahead of the Jets, Saints and Colts.

 

Mark my words. They are the worse team in their division. No freaking way they make playoffs

 

No one said they were making the playoffs. Bears and Packers are higher than they are. Its preseason rankings, it will all change come week 4, anyway.

 

I don't know that I'd rank the Bears higher than the Lions...lol.

 

They're only 2 slots ahead, lol.

 

I'm calling it. The Lions are making the playoffs! SIG BET ANYONE!?!?! I'm that confident. That is unless Stafford is out by week 4, then it's null and void!

 

You drunk?

 

Wouldn't be surprised at all if the Lions made the playoffs or became "that" team to win the division...

 

I wish. But for real. Each season some team comes FLYING in under the radar and the Lions are making huge strides. If they can stay healthy I honestly and truthfully believe that Stafford will have a HUGE season and this team will take a Wild Card spot.

 

Are the Lions under the radar?

 

I guess no team really is "under the radar" but when you talk playoffs a lot of people mention the Lions as 2/3 years away from doing anything since they're in the North. I can see them squeaking in there and making it into the playoffs. Since they're technically considered the 4th best team in their division I'd call them "Under The Radar"

 

I think the Lions are "on the radar" more so than not. I think a team like the Bengals or Bills wouldn't be on...but I think there will be a lot of people to put the Lions on the radar as the "trendy" pick...

 

Ward, I don't like you very much. Kidding!! I like you a lot!

I can understand where you're coming from and think in the next season or so they will be "on the radar" but I honestly don't think you can put a team on the radar when they're widely considered the 4th best team in their own DIVISION! I think of an On The Radar team as someone who people think can ACTUALLY make the playoffs. They may be a trendy pick but so are the Raiders but I'd consider them under the radar. Is a team "on the radar" if they're up and coming? I understand your point but I disagree. That's the great part of being American! If we were Russian we'd of both disappeared by now!

 

I don't know that they are considered 4th in their division. I think a case could be made (if healthy) they are better than the Bears...I don't know...I definitely don't think the margin between 2nd and 4th is that much in the NFC North. See, I don't think the Radiers are a trendy pick, maybe they are...I'd think the Chiefs would be more trendy than the Raiders...

 

btw - Screw that Russia crap....lol.
