Why? I understand the point of the college football AP poll but there is no need for this, right?

AP NFL 32 Pro Power Poll

The Yahoo!Sports Saints team page has links to the voter's ballots.

Common theme is coaching. We'll have to see how it works out.

Its really the wording...cripples record-setting attack?

What does cripples mean? Doesn't break any records? The only person that would cripple the offense if not there is Drew Brees.

It's just a bunch of dinosaurs in a dying industry trying to remain relevant.

It should be more expensive for the media to publish or televise something. Maybe they'd put more consideration into what they produce.

Like last year...or the year before that. Tell Philly to show me something, and don't let 9-7 win your weak arse division.

Same story every year. You honestly think the eagles are the 4th best team in the NFC?

I didn't think they'd be good last year, because they were putting too many pieces into the wrong system and they didn't "gel" together immediately. The DC changed the system to fit their personell this season, plus they were playing great the end of last season. Make no mistake, the Eagles are one of the teams I can't stand, and I hope they fail again; however, to base everything on how they finished last year is not looking at the big picture. Remember, The Saints finished 7-9 and 8-8 the prior two seasons to us winning the Super Bowl.

No. Do I think they are better than Saints? No. Nor do I think anyone who does believe so is silly. There's enough information there at this point of the preseason to make this case, and signs do point to them being strong.

Michael Vick is their QB bro. You really think he changed so much that he won't A) Miss a game or 5, or B) Suck it up at some point.

Not to mention they couldn't stop the rush to save their life on D. They brought in Ryans to play MLB, but their safeties, DLine, and OLBs still suck.
