Do the Atlanta Falcons have the best defense now?

Yes, DeAngelo Hall, Keith Brooking, and another multiple stars make this a great defense

The Panthers have really looked great in their last two games in the playoffs and the Seahawks barely even got by in their last game. Seahawks also have key-players that may be out of the game. I think it won't be easy, but the Panthers will win with their defense.

Nah. They just signed Brees to a contract and his shoulder should be fine. They need defense. Probably Mario Williams, but A.J. Hawk will be a bigger star. Mario Williams didn't have a more dominating season like Hawk, but still he receives a lot of hype. Saints also need a offensive lineman to protect Brees.

I think they will go to the superbowl and might win they got good defense

I think they are for real. The defense is playing great and that offense is potent. The guy above me said Reggie Bush isnt doing much, but without him they wouldnt be where they are at. He may not be piling up the stats and TD's but hes acting as a major decoy giving Brees, Colston, and Duece breathing room. He is a very versatile player and whenever he touches the ball he gets mobbed, but still is making the best of it. \n\nThey are fully rounded yet, but I think Brees was the best addition for this team. I didnt know how he would perform coming off injury but he has silenced the critics. \n\nThe Saints are a feel good story this season, I'm not a fan but I enjoy seeing them do so well for the city of New Orleans. They'll make the playoffs but wont go deep.

oh where to begin, Lets start with one of the best Defences in the league for more years then i can count. And with an offence lead by an up and coming quarterback by the name of Chris simms and back by one of the most talented back in Cadillac not to mention the A-Train himself . just sit back and watch them run over the competition this year on route to the super bowl

six string samurai (3 up) said it best\n\ndenver's a tad better in defense, but our offense is explosive. Denver's offense will not be a challenge even for what's left of our troubled D\n\nThis is IMO the best, and most balanced, Chargers team ever assembled. While this is FAR from the best Broncos team assembled.\n\nbtw: we havn't won in denver since 94 (david binn, our LS's 1st game, and he just played his 200th) but people neglect that alot of that time was the Elway era of the Broncos, and the Chargers struggled (aside from the superbowl appearance) since the end of the fouts/winslow era

No, Schaub is still with Atlanta. Several teams have shown interest in getting him via a trade, but the Falcons have shot every one down. I think theyre determined to keep him so they have a good backup, considering Vick is a fairly high injury risk.

Yeah they're defense is not that good and they do need to do something to change that. I hope they do get a new defensive coordinator and a good one at that. If they had a good defense they would be really hard to beat.

Every year there are adjustments to every successful offense and every successful defense.  Tweaks are common in the league.  The west coast offense has been tweaked for years and now the common 4-6 defense from the 85 bears is now referred commonly as "cover 2" which the Bears, the Colts and most successfully tweaked by the Bucs all now use.

I think that the Pittsburg Steelers of the 70's had the best team in the past 40 years.  They had everything!  Great defense and outstanding offense too.  Great team!!!

Yes. They are returning all of their starters, and have added to their secondary in free agency and the draft. They've got Grossman back and healthy for the season (cross your fingers), and now have Griese as a suitable backup. At the receiver spot, Bradley was starting to come on last year before he got hurt, and Berrian hsowed some potential towards the end of the season, and obviously they have Muhammed in the #1 spot. As far as the tight end situation, they don't have a stand-out player at the position, but Desmond Clark is at least serviceable, and Ron Turner's offenses typically dont rely heavily on tight ends. The problem that I do see is what most see as the strong suit- running back. I've got a bad feeling they're going to end up going with a RB-by-committee situation, which I think is a bad idea. Platoon situations don't give either back a chance to get into a real rhythm. Jones is already not happy with the situation, and I'm sure Benson won't be after long. I think they do have a chance to go to the bowl this year, but I think they may be one more year away.

The Saints, b.c Ill get to see him TWO TIMES A YEar. My falcons better be prepared. I feel bad that he will go to such a sorry team defensively, i doubt theyl make playoffs, but he should be Offensive Rookie of the Year. Id like to say Mmartin down there must be high on some good dtuff, the Cardinals have Edgerinn James, a guaranteed 1000 yrd rusher every year, of course they have a running game.

They lost leadership in Brodie Croyle... But he wasn't that game-changing...\n\nThat defense can do some damage.\n\n9-3 best I say, most likely a bowl team.

Im not sure exactly what each team was ranked but i do remember that the colts did have a good defense last year.

Pittsburg Steelers\nThey have been playing so well and they're defense is the best.

Urlacher is the best on defense and on the team but the best offense player is WR bernard Berrian.  I would say Grossman but he has been really bad the last couple starts.
