Offseason Power Rankings - # 29

We need to be at least 9-7 to avoid the trade from becoming terrible.


It will turn out to be a terrible trade no matter where we finish.

This is me not caring.

who cares. it's may. they judge us every year, and because we didn't make great strides in the offseason to improve a losing record, they are assuming that we are gonna suck again this year. im sure the years before this one we were ranked high in may power rankings mainly because of all the people we picked up in the offseason.

We barely improved the O-line...We still have questionable depth there.
We replaced Smoot with a question mark that may take a couple years to develop.
We replaced Pierce.
We still have questions at QB.
We have questions at WR.
If Sean Taylor, Cooley, Nowland, Wilson and Molinaro have a soph slump and Dockery, Ray Brown, Jansen, all the new LB's and LA cant or dont perform our offense and defense could be alot worse.
We have too many questions for a good ranking.

last year we fixed a leaky defense, this year we'll fix crappy special teams... EVERY move this offseason has basically been for special teams (even rodgers is expected to play some there), so if we've got 2/3rds of our team in the top 5, we should be alright... on offense we got a better oline by 2 parts and better deep threats to help portis get some space (hopefully)... i dont think our yardage is going to go way up (except for ramsey replacing brunell), but there should be less 8-9 in the box plays against us.

If our defense stay in the top, and wins those close games then we'll be a serious contender, but we have to send a message to the NFC east and refuse to lose in our division.

Does it really matter where we're ranked in May?

Exactly. Cause when you think about it, isn't this just a draft review by any other name?

It is way too early to determine which teams will be good and which ones are gonna do bad. These power rankings are based on offseason acquisitions. I agree the patriots are the top of the food chain. Cowgirls at 12? I don't think so! I think we should be way higher than 29. Just because we lost 2 starters on D dosen't mean that we are gonna suck this year. Alot of these "experts" don't really know what they are talking about anyway. All we need to do is turn up the offense and we are serious contenders in the NFC and the Superbowl. I don't think that it will be a problem for coach Gibbs to do that. We played the Eagals for 7 1/2 quarters and they are considered the cream of the crop in the NFC. Like I've been saying we don't have to get that much better to contend in the NFC. I like the fact that people are underestimating our team. So, everybody keep their hope and their faith alive and we will do fine this year. Much better than last year.

Go SKINS!!!!

Are we really having a serious discussion about the Skins' ranking in a poll IN MAY?
