The Season Begins!

With the NFL season right around the corner I have put together my list of how I want all of the other teams to finish. I have added the reason why I like or dislike each team. I originally compiled this list at work as my coworker did the same thing, but I decided I spent too much time for only one person to read it, so here you go!


1. Denver Broncos - I think this is pretty obvious as i am waiting 10 years for season tickets. Maybe then I’ll actually make it to the stadium.
2. Carolina Panthers - I love John Fox as a coach, Steve Smith is entertaining to watch, Jake Delhomme throws it up there, plus their defense is fun to watch.
3. Chicago Bears - I've always like Chicago as a team and think football is better when they are winning. I just wish they'd get something together that resembles an offense.
4. New England - Great team, great coach, owner who makes smart decisions. This is a very likeable team.
5. San Diego Chargers - Even though they play in the AFC West and should be a rival, I do enjoy cheering for them. Perhaps its out of some pity, perhaps its cause they are the closest thing to LA having a team. Not sure which it is, but I just can't hate them (minus 2 weeks out of the year)
6. Pittsburgh Steelers - Good Hardnosed Football. Some of the best real fans in the game
7. Green Bay Packers - Go Cheeseheads, although as time passes and Aaron Rodgers becomes the full time QB I would expect them to fall in my polls.
8. Cincinnati Bengals - Even up to a few years ago when they stunk I would still kind of want them to win. I liked Boomer growing up, cause he was one of the few lefty QBs i saw. Good to see them back winning. And I still think Carson Palmer throws the best deep ball in the game right now.....perfect spiral.
9. Buffalo Bills - This is a throwback to when they were good. I would have put them in the top 5 back when they had Kelly, Thomas and reed. My guess is they will win 3 games this year.....that could be an optimistic guess.
10. New York Giants - I like the Giants as a team, but individuals on the team i just can't stand (Manning, Plax)
11. Miami Dolphins - They are going up my list because I like Saban a lot and Ronnie Brown too. Still a little bitter cause I didn't like the Marino days.
12. Cleveland Browns - This team is on the right track with the right coach, and getting Willie McGinest is cool too.
13. Tampa Bay Bucs - I like Gruden more that he is in Florida, but I’m still not a Simms fan though, but love the D
14. Philadelphia Eagles - I liked Randall and I like Donovan, but that’s about it, nothing about this team has ever excited me that much.
15. New York Jets - J-E-T-S JETS! JETS! JETS! - They are going to be bad for another couple of years though.
16. Arizona Cardinals - I used to laugh at them, but they are moving up, almost as if they are trying to win!
17. New Orleans Saints - Once they move to Los Angeles I'll put them higher. They should be fun to watch for many years though
18. St. Louis Rams - Another crappy owner here, their former coach was way to high on himself, an overrated QB and RB..this team has been on my bad side for a while.
19. Seattle Seahawks - I like Shaun, but that’s about it, I don't like Hasselback. This could be going back to the days of the AFC west
20. Detroit Lions - I miss Barry, that’s the only thing i can say
21. Tennessee Titans - I like Jeff Fisher and Norm Chow a lot, but cheering for Vince Young is just too much for me.
22. Indianapolis Colts - Peyton is only cool when making stupid commercials where he is cheering for grocery store works. Oh and tearing up the Broncos defense 2 of the past 3 years hurts as well.
23. Houston Texans - I would like to watch this team get better, I like Carr, but the rest of this team is really bad, and aren't getting much better. With Davis out for the year, you will hear the uproar over Reggie starting in week 1.
24. Washington Redskins - A pompous owner to start. oh and then there was that 47-10 thrashing of the broncos that I still haven't recovered from....that was the first Superbowl I watched.
25. Minnesota Vikings - They play in a dome, so that’s one knock against them, think of the weather advantage if they had an outdoor one! Anyway, this team has been fun to watch in the past, but are now just a joke, and a boring one at that, unless of course they take another cruise, then they’ll be an exciting joke.
26. Kansas City Chiefs - Division rival who I just can't cheer for under any circumstance. I will say their stadium makes some loud noises! (As brick would say).
27. Jacksonville Jaguars - Ever since their upset of Denver in the playoffs I have not liked this team...not much has changed (oh that was supposed to be Denver’s year, and their last year with the orange jerseys...that’s how those jerseys should have been retired!)
28. Atlanta Falcons - I didn't like the dirty bird, I don't like Vick, I think they are vastly overrated, and they play boring football
29. San Francisco 49ers - This is basically from my childhood of watching my brother be excited for his team while I cried for mine, I think its funny how far they have fallen, but at the same time its sad to see what the owners did to the team.....I’m not losing any sleep over it though.
30. Dallas Cowboys - To say that people in Dallas think very highly of themselves is the understatement of the year. I like Parcells cause he keeps order, and I’ve always like Bledsoe, but TO, Jerry Jones, and former player Michael Irvin are still what I see in Dallas, and I don't like them
31. Baltimore Ravens - I really do like McNair, but I can't stand players who murder people.....oh and arrogant offensive minded coaches who don't put together anything that resembles a real offense in the years he has been there.
32. oakland raiders - I hate the fans, the owner, the players, the stadium, the "traditions", their emblem, their colors, basically anything that has to do with this franchise makes me utterly sick.

I know it was really long, but it was my best Simmons impersonation, and I am new at this. Your thoughts and own rankings are welcome
