I thought these were pretty funny.

1. New England Patriots

2015 record: 12-4
Post-free agency ranking: No. 1

The top two teams have switched places since we did this in February, which tells you our voters are huge fans of either Josh Norman or Jimmy Garoppolo. Seriously, the Pats have averaged 12.5 wins a year for the past 13 years, so no one's going broke assuming they'll be good. But ... pass rush? Running game? The 2nd Circuit Court? Has this New England offseason really been that great?

2. Carolina Panthers

2015 record: 15-1
Post-free agency ranking: No. 2

It's easy to forget how good the Panthers were last year, mainly because no one ever seemed to buy it while it was happening. This is a team that could lose four games off its 2015 win total and still win its division by three. But Cam Newtonshould be fine with these rankings as long as he can't overhear any Patriots players explaining why they're ranked No. 1.

3. Green Bay Packers

2015 record: 10-6
Post-free agency ranking: No. 6gn-arrow.png

Key additions: DT Kenny Clark, OT Jason Spriggs. Key losses: Eddie Lacy's gut. Last year's Packers won 10 games without Jordy Nelson and more or less without Lacy. There are worse bets than Aaron Rodgers turning it around in 2016.

4. Seattle Seahawks

2015 record: 10-6
Post-free agency ranking: No. 4

Seattle Seahawks: Using three of your 10 draft picks on running backs doesn't scream, "We're sold on Thomas Rawls!" and it's hard to see how Russell Wilsoncan thrive behind this offensive line. But they didn't have Marshawn Lynch or a line last year, either, and Wilson led the league in passer rating because he's the NFL's Harry Potter.

5. Arizona Cardinals

2015 record: 13-3
Post-free agency ranking: No. 3rd-arrow.png

How are they not No. 1? What's not to like here? Just because Carson Palmer is 36 and went Full Delhomme in the NFC Championship Game doesn't change the fact that no team is both deeper and better coached. Underestimate now, but don't act all shocked in September when you look up and no one can cover all of their receivers.

ROFL!!!

It really is nice that our blowout of the Cards in the NFCCG can transform a terrible Panthers' moment into something that it's possible to laugh about.   It really was appropriate that it was the Cards we rolled over and forced into so many turnovers.  Full Circle.

Yeah, couldn't decide what was funnier, that or  'Key losses: Eddie Lacy's gut'.

Only issue is, every Power Ranking has the Broncos out of the Top 5 it seems.

They'll be highly motivated for that first game again.  God, and Mike Remmers will still be our RT.  Sigh.  Welp, at least there's alcohol.

I'm willing to put money on Williams being our starting RT this year with Remmers sliding back into a reserve and utility role.

I'm pretty sure it was slated to happen last year before his injury. Williams was continually seeing more and more snaps, while playing much better than Remmers overall, before he went down.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!

      Inappropriate relationship with a team staffer, followed up with some stalking behavior, and ultimately a felony home invasion charge from a visit at her apartment that culminated in him threatening her life and his as well.
