I agree that they are above average,but I think that they flatter to deceive.Its a sad fact that teams don't put that much effort into the league,so its probably not a good indicator of where a team is.Its also worth mentioning that they have been on the end of two hammerings in the last two years,to dublin and Kerry,and before we talk about retirements/age etc. remember that many pundits backed them to beat Kerry in killarney last year.
I think tyrone will get to the quarters,but I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they didn't.

I see both Topdownfan and missdownfanatic bury their heads in the sand when it comes to down football, let's be clear down haven't been seen since wee peter and co put to bed the great down side of the 90s in the 96 Ulster final, as for the team who made the final in 2010 they have to be up there with one the worst ever all Ireland final sides was a bit of an anti climax down making that final.

We lost by a point, not bad for 'one of the worst ever all-ireland final sides ever.' Your comments have no substance, therefore can't even be taken serious. To come out with such a statement without even backing it up with fact is embarrassing on your behalf.

One point or not they haven't been seen since or to be fair they weren't seen before either ergo they are and were a bad side.

re galway poster, I think that to say that u wouldn't be surprised if they don't get to the quarters is having the best of both worlds re predictions. Any team worth their salt can draw kerry away in killarney and then go out in that game, it doesn't really matter how good they are, going down there to win a championship game is like asking a team to beat brazil in rio. It might happen once every 50 years or so. I feel that Tyrone will do well, and should get to Croke park this year, barring a similar draw. In fact, there are few if any teams in the country who would go to Healy park and come away with a result in the qualifiers. We will see.
