Washington Redskins: Fans Only!

The 2008 NFL Power Rankings are in and the Redskins are ranked at 14. That’s not a bad ranking, right? The one thing I do have questions about is the Eagles ranking. How can the be ahead of us? I know McNabb is healed now but still, this is a team who was/is (?) in disarray. I guess time will tell.

This is from ESPN:

	1 (1)	Patriots	16-0-0	A healthy Tom Brady and a happy Randy Moss make the Patriots championship contenders this season and for years to come. (MS)
	2 (2)	Colts	13-3-0	They haven’t had a lot of offseason turnover and they already were very good. Continuity means a lot. (PY)
	3 (6)	Chargers	11-5-0	If the Chargers can get over their injury issues, they could be in the Super Bowl mix all the way to Tampa. (BW)
	4 (3)	Cowboys	13-3-0	Felix Jones should help the running game immediately. But who will emerge as the No. 2 receiver? Patrick Crayton wasn’t up to the task in late ‘07. (MM)
	5 (4)	Jaguars	11-5-0	They sometimes get overshadowed by division rival Indianapolis, but the Jaguars have an elite roster and an elite coach in Jack Del Rio. (PY)
	6 (9)	Giants	10-6-0	Teams other than the Patriots aren’t supposed to repeat as Super Bowl champions. Will Michael Strahan retire? Can they compensate for free-agent losses at LB? (MM)
	7 (8)	Steelers	10-6-0	A very strong draft catapults the Steelers into Super Bowl contenders. RBs Willie Parker and Rashard Mendenhall should be one of the best 1-2 punches. (JW)
	8 (7)	Seahawks	10-6-0	New O-line coach Mike Solari stands out as the Seahawks’ top offseason acquisition, perhaps allowing them to keep their edge in the NFC West. (MS)
	9 (13)	Browns	10-6-0	The 2007 darlings face high expectations. The offense will score. Can the D, anchored by additions Shaun Rogers and Corey Williams, hold up its end? (JW)
	10 (5)	Packers	13-3-0	This is an unpredictable team in the wake of the retirement of Brett Favre. Who will step up and make the big plays this year? (JW)
	11 (18)	Saints	7-9-0	The offense already was very good. Defensive improvements will make the Saints one of this year’s biggest turnarounds. (PY)
	12 (15)	Vikings	8-8-0	If they settle on a QB, the Vikes could become a playoff team. RB Adrian Peterson is at the top of the list for MVP candidates. (JW)
	13 (14)	Eagles	8-8-0	Last season, they hit their stride when it was too late. With a fully healed Donovan McNabb and an improved secondary, the Eagles could be dangerous. (MM)
	14 (10)	Redskins	9-7-0	Too many questions: a new coach, young QB and a pair of rookie WRs. Hard to get a good read. (MM)
