Who will have the best defense in the NFL this season?

Potential responses include:

Baltimore Ravens
Carolina Panthers
New York Jets
Philadelphia Eagles
Pittsburgh Steelers


Now is it just me, or is it foolish to not include the Bills or possibly even the Pats as a potential response? I think idiots work at espn sometimes.

Why would they put Buffalo on that poll, I mean they were only the 2nd ranked defense in the NFL last year. So typical of ESPN.

Re: espn.com poll

I clicked on the sportsnation link right above the poll. Gary Horton of Scouts Inc. is partipating in a chat right NOW. Anybody want to flood him with Bills questions and why the heck weren't we on the poll?

Here's the link. Mel Kiper is supposed to be on at 1pm.

Then they have the Jets on there. Did I miss something? When have the Jets been known for their d recently? Is it because they signed an aging ty law?

Tim (Rochester, NY)
Willis McGahee is supposedly stronger than ever going into this season, but do you think he is durable enough for 350+ carries? The Bills don't really have a second option, and I'm worried his career could be shortened with overuse and his track will be more Fred Taylor than LaDanian Tomlinson.

GARY HORTON
That's a legitimate concern, and even though we know how unhappy Travis Henry was you have to worry about McGahee's ability to get through 16 games without a good backup and an unproven QB. But if he can stay healthy he looks like the real deal.

That was another one of my issues there. If I had to pick the best defense from the AFC East, the Jets might finish 4th.

Guys,

A team that gives up 22 points to the Steelers scrubs and allows a 4th string RB running behind a scrub O-line to run all over us on an 8 minute possession in the 4th quarter cannot be considered one of the best defenses in the league.

Everybody is allowed an offgame, I mean...NE lost to Miami - does that mean Miami is better than them? Why does that one game count for so much vs the other 15 games we played which put us in 2nd place???
