  • Patiorts, Colts, Steelers I agree with as a top 3 also. I think Ravens and then Eagles are 4 and 5. Giants I don't think rank up there, they're not as consistent. Eagles are 5 because they didn't win a superbowl, which DOES count against you - I actually think the Colts might have been the better team throughout the decade compared to the Patriots, but the rings definitely have their say here.

      Explain to me how the Ravens trump the Giants. Both teams made the playoffs 6 out of 10 years and both teams won a SB. The Giants also played in 2 SB's during this era, which the Ravens did not do.

      The Ravens had 7-9, two 9-7, 6-10, and 5-11 seasons. Let's not forget the Ravens QB situation when you're talking about consistency... Dilfer, Tony Banks, Elvis Grbac, Jeff Blake, Kyle Boller, old Steve McNair...

      • Ben Roethlisberger's suspension cut from six to four games by the NFL.


        Big Ben's suspension is reduced from 6 games to 4 games.

          Giants playing in the 2001 superbowl was basically by default - I give them no credit at all for that.

          I think the Ravens' overpowering D is the reason I give them the 4 spot over the Giants. When you think of 'best defense of the decade' there is exactly one team you think of : the Ravens. Even if their offense wasn't always up to par, they were far and away the best D of the decade, easily placing in the top 5 Ds of nearly every year. Yes, their overall record wasn't as good, but they most definitely were dominating enough to be in the discussion.

          • Hardesty out for season. I can't believe he was drafted by the Browns given is history.

              He was having knee issues all throughout training camp. It's a shame but I don't think he's going to have much of a career with reconstructive surgery on both his knees. Peyton Hillis has renewed fantasy impact now.

              And since it's the Browns, who wants to bet Hardesty gets a Staph infection?

                • Here we go, first victims of the roster deadline: Matt Leinart, T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Willie Parker were all cut today.

                  • Hmm, the Bears need a WR...

                      • Helps mine, too. You dropped Golden Tate. One more rookie for me to gamble on.

                        • Wow. Housmandzadeh was such a huge free agent only two years ago. Too bad the Bengals are kind of stacked now with TO and Antonio Bryant so they probably wouldn't sign him though they'd probably be better off with him than TO.

                          Mike Williams is expected to start Pete Carroll must not have been following the NFL the last few years and thinks Williams is the same player he coached at USC

                          • There were some trades... Patrick Crayton is a Charger now. Sage Rosenfels will be backing up Eli Manning.

                            • Very weird that Leinart didn't draw some trade interest. To get nothing for a 1st round QB has got to hurt.

                              • Listening to all the interviews, Matt Leinart seems oblivious to what's going on around him, i.e. the real world. He's been in Arizona for, what, four years now and he still doesn't have locker room support. Bad signs.

                                Err, the Bengals released Bryant earlier this week...
