Surprising preseason rankings from Peter King

[Zool]

I asked because what grown man or woman says "OWNED"?

Snake would say "PWNED", which is the proper way to say it in Snakeville.

I have never understood that, and I actually get quite a few internet memes, more than someone my age should get. I can't even guess how to say it.

its pronounced powned. Its trying to type owned but missing.

Also pzwnd...not sure why that iteration came about.

I really don't get the Bears at #4. Sure they got Cutler but they still have poor WRs and an OL that isn't that great. I think the defense is fairly overrated and no way they are a 12 win team.

Umm, their offensive line was better than the Packers last year. And they improved that. And who knows how poor the WR's will be since their will be new starters outside of Hester.

Umm, no they weren't.

Per Football Outsiders:
Run blocking - Chi 24th, GB 18th
Pass blocking - Chi 11th, GB 14th

I dare say that overall, the GB OL was better than the Bears last year.

As far as WRs go, they have some of the poorest in the NFL.

Um, did you look up false starts, and how many times the O-line virtually cost you guys the game because of them?

Um, I just provided proof that the Packers OL is better than the Bears. If you would like to dispute that, please do your own research.

Oh, and nice job completely avoiding the WR issue. I take it by your silence you are in complete agreement with me.

maybe this has been said, and I like King, but the Lions better than the Browns? We have a credibility gap here.

I dunno if I agree they'll be better than the browns, but I think the Lions are gonna surprise people with their play this year. I'm not sure how many wins, but I think they'll be OK this season.

I would think it's a derivation of 'Ownz you'. But I'm over 30. What do I know?
