I think Isaac Bruce will have a bounceback year and when talking about the best receivers in the game I probably wouldn't go top 5 without mentioning Holt.

The key offensively of course is for Bulger to stay healthy. But now with Frerotte, they at least have a veteran backup and don't have to turn to Fitzpatrick.

Defensively, they added a run stopper in La'Roi Glover, a playmaking linebacker in Will Witherspoon. Plus I like them adding Corey Chavous to be the leader in that secondary. And I think Haslett was a good choice for defensive coordinator.

I can see 10-6 and a wild card for the Rams

The Seahawks had some key losses on their O-Line and at WR in the offseason. They'll still be good, but not as good as last year.

In the NFC, I think the Panthers, Bears, Bucs and Giants will be the toughest competitors for us.

After a long grueling evaluation and assessment of the NFC teams, and after hours and hours evaluating their Ds & Os, assessing their talent levels, looking at last year's statistics, taking their pulse, temperature, vitals, collective 40 times, total bench presses, wonderlic scores, cap problems, FO interfereance, and adding in FAs and prospective NFL Draftees and such, I've come to the penultimate decision that the biggest threat is us! If we can convince ourselves to impose our will on our weekly opponent, then, I see no reason that the B&G cannot breeze through the 2006-2007 season, on the way to either an 11-5, or 12-4 record and a PO berth, possibly homefield advantage throughout the POs.

I honestly think we are the biggest threats to ourselves. If we can stay healthy, I believe we win the division hands down.

That's the case every year for us!

steelers... colts... NFC east... broncos are always a top team, but never seem to be the best. seahawks if they sign law. JP and law would counterbalance losing hutch.

I think the NY Giants will be toughest D to handle this year and the Panthers O will give our D their biggest headache this year. But other than that I think the colts will have the best O we will face this year hands down.

You really think the Panthers O? All they really have it Steve Smith. I still don't count Keyshawn as part of an offense.

They do have a system like Denver's where they can plug in any RB and be effective.

Rod Smart, Brad Hoover, Stephen Davis, DeShaun Foster, Eric Shelton, Nick Goings...doesn't matter. They all have 100 yard/game potential with the Panthers. They couldn't run that well with most other teams.

Well i would say dallas but they lost Larry Allen, and I would say the Giants, but they really didnt do anything to improve their offense. I guess maybe the falcons, with Musgrave aiming to improve Ron Mexico. That will be a fun game to watch.

Falcons WRs:

Magner, Cole
Youngblood, Kevin
White, Roddy
Bonner, Cedric
Jenkins, Michael
Johnson, Kerry
Finneran, Brian

Weak run blocking line, with a rookie runningback or even worse, Dominic Rhodes. By the time week 8 rolls around, no one in the league will respect that rushing game.

To me the Seattle Seahawks are the team to beat. They won the NFC; they were the best last year. They have probably gained in strength overall in the offseason; they have the experience of playing all the way through the Super Bowl this past year.

To me the Redskins are the top challengers; our improvement has been notable with free agent pickups and our trade. I think the Redskins will win the Super Bowl this year, but the Seahawks definitely are the strongest barrier for us in the NFC in my book.
