I hate preseason. A lot of wasted energy. There are also huge risks involved as well. Careers have been ruined due to stupid preseason games.
Another thing - season ticket holders being forced to pay for preseason games when they don't care about them. I hate that.

The Cowboys and Giants are screwed.
Both the Redskins and the Eagles got better in the offseason.
The Cowboys and Giants might each have 4 division losses or more.

Never really liked NFL until I watched this year's Super Bowl, really enjoyed it though and I'm looking forward to being able to follow a full season. But to people saying pre-season is unnessecary due to the risk, do you not think going into a full season without pre-season games is much more risky?

I love this scenario. With Vikes winning.
it's not unnecessary, but does not come without risks. There's no easy way around it. It's like a double-edged sword. Naturally, they usually don't put proven starters out there for longer than a quarter, or half. It all depends. Those questionable longer than a half, maybe newbies.

That's just silly.

Players are conditioned before preseason games even start.
There is no need for preseason.
I hate it.

Brett Favre winning a title. That's a laugh. How many more times does he have to choke in the playoffs before people realize you can't win with Favre as your QB. The only reason he won one of them is because of Desmond Howard.
I do agree that the Giants suck.

Hate the Giants all you want, but they had a great offseason, and we got rid of the worst part of our team (Sheridan).
The Redskins? Right now they've been like the Lions in futility almost, but McNabb definitely gives them more credibility. I'd like to see them actually try to build their team through the draft instead of screwing themselves over through free agency.
The Cowboys finally won their first playoff game last year after a decade. With their roster they should be favored in the division.
And there's no way I would put the Eagles up there with a first time starting QB. Sure Kolb has looked good for a few games, but let's see how he does over a full season with teams prepped and prepared for him.
Cowboys
Giants
Redskins
Eagles
That's how I would have them ranked right now.
