I'm going to put them in Who knows, but they're teetering on Gutless.

Damn, at least Miami, Cleveland and Arizona are on the schedule.

[Mr. Cynical]

Tampa Bay?

Guess you don't like any of the Bays...lol.

[Icer]

Steelers beat Miami and Cincy, they are just as paper champions as the Jets.

edit- It was Oakland, sorry my mistake. I guess they have beaten a better team

I don't think the Jets are paper. In fact IMO I think they could give NE a run for the AFCE. They could definitely be 5-0 by the time they meet NE (Mia, Buf, SF), and then if they do beat NE, they would have a 6-0 record at that point and be 3-0 in the div. All hypothetical of course but it's not out of the question.

As a matter of fact I also think like you, but technically they are paper champions since they haven't beaten anyone good. But neither have the Steelers, which I found odd to be placed in "Gritty" considering they also already lost a game. [to a team, that has looked far from impressive]

Re: Patrick's rankings:

I'd take it a step further and say Pittsburgh is below gritty. Someone I know thinks Cinci has a lot of promise this year, but I'm thinking no. I do think they'll beat the Steelers on Sunday though. I'm also thinking, and call me optimistic, that Atlanta should be bumped up two notches to 'Very Good.' We'll see how that assumption fares after they play Carolina this week. I think Vic's going to stay outside of the pocket and run his butt off, and that they'll go into next week 4-0. (Please note for the record that my Atlanta favoring has nothing to do w/them being my long-shot SB pick in Vegas ).

I agree...I had them grabing the 5th WC spot in my preseason predictions.
