Poll: Worst to First in 2009?

Huzzah! Poll is finally working for me! It's gotta be the redskins....

Think Buffalo will be dangerous this year.
Buffalo seem to have improved over the last while and the addition of TO will be a big plus for them too.
The AFC East looks to be the most competitive division the coming year.
Hopefully the Fins will retain the division but not too confident!!

i watched jacksonvillie last season (as a colts fan, i wanted to see if they were a threat), now they didnt have a great season at all, they started off ok but then went downhill. they have a decent running game, jones drew is ok. they definatly had (have) potential, if they do well in the draft i think next season they'll definatly push the colts and titans for the play-offs.

Buffalo: Interesting. In Trent Edwards and Terrell Owens they have a potentially threatening pairing that could put some points on the board. Couple that with Marshawn Lynch (or not?) and an improving defence and the Buffalo Bills could be a good team this year.

Washington Redskins: Collapsed after a good start last season. They have some highly talented players and an especially strong running game. Jason Campbell has to prove himself. He could be a top-tier quarterback if he pushes himself and cuts out costly errors. I'd take them at 2nd in NFC East at best.

New Orleans: The enigma. They have such a good offense that missing out on the playoffs should have come as a shock. That defense has to improve drastically for them to take top spot in the best division in football (last season anyway). I like them as dark horses for top spot in that particular division.

i would like to think my Jaguars will be the most improved....but i really dont think they will be that improved from last season....maybe hit the edges of the playoff race...

i personally believe its gonna be the Chiefs that are the main "Worst-to-First" threat in the league this year....they've made some great signings...including some good veteran signings to mentor the young 'uns and a good draft will definitely put them on the map for a big season

I think the Jags look most likely but I agree with this also.

Percentage wise improvement gotta be the Lions. Who'll make the step from nearly there to dangerous? Saints but I've been wrong so far and until they cut J David I'll wonder, they should resign Mike Mc, he's been damn good when he's healthy. Jags will have an o line so will be much better!!

Cleveland:

- still have a ton of talent on a roster that was considered a 'sleeper' superbowl pick in many quarters before the start of last season;
- will face a faaaar easier schedule to what they had last year;
- enjoy a very low expectation threshold amongst fans and media due to a combination of (the much maligned) Mangini's entrance + the hangover from last season;
- might find that low pressure + fresh coaching approach + wounded egos could well be the right mix to produce some '**** you' efforts from the players;
- have some fellah called Brady Quinn primed and ready to have a breakout season at QB;

Mangini was grossly incompetent over the past two seasons (:mad:), but during his first season at East Rutherford he brought an instant impact to an unfancied franchise. Beware.

Its worst to first Lloyd, they have to face the Steelers and the Ravens twice. I don't see them doing very well in those four games. Who knows though as we seen last year with the Titans anything is possible.

Its just that the division is so tough with possibly the top two defenses in the league, and as much as I like Brady Quinn in college, they need serious improvment on that line to protect him.

Well yeah obviously, I mean if they win one game that'd be a proportionate increase of what... infinity?? :pac:
