Interesting... Hopefully we prove him right, for once.

Oh crap. I don't like recognition.

I agree

Re: WOW - Dr.Z's Power Rankings (10/05/06) Have Me Speechless
 

rankings are good when we are ranked high, they suck when we are not. im just kidding, they always suck. thats why they play the games, just do it on the field. hey, i did that once.....

Re: WOW - Dr.Z's Power Rankings (10/05/06) Have Me Speechless
 

Take heart boys, we are still behind the Broncos! (Statistically, not even a top 20 team)

Re: WOW - Dr.Z's Power Rankings (10/05/06) Have Me Speechless
 

Yeah, it's something fun to read but they don't mean a whole lot. Rankings are always based on how teams have done recently, but in reality you're only as good as your [U]next[/U] game.

they always start slow (thanks jake plummer) and end up ranked high... i think in 2004 they were like 4 in offense and 5 in defense, but i don't remember how they did last year.

Re: WOW - Dr.Z's Power Rankings (10/05/06) Have Me Speechless
 

But he also pick us to lose to the giants on sunday (see the giants ranking)...so dont be scurred we still need to prove him wrong as usual...and we will

It's about damn time!!!

Winning does equal respect! So true!

Re: WOW - Dr.Z's Power Rankings (10/05/06) Have Me Speechless
 

any ranking that moves a team up from 21 to 10 because of one single game is stupid. Dr. Z sucks at analyzing the nfl and the drastic changes week to week in his rankings reflect that. It pisses me off that he actually gets paid to make stupid predictions and reflections. You have to remember his dumb ass said we would win 3 games last year.

Re: WOW - Dr.Z's Power Rankings (10/05/06) Have Me Speechless
 

honestly, being anemic for two weeks and the preseason is what had everyone so low on the skins in the first place. that's why they doubted the texans game. two weeks in a row though is harder to disprove.

i do agree that dr. z sucks though. he sucks hard.

Re: WOW - Dr.Z's Power Rankings (10/05/06) Have Me Speechless
 

I agree with you, That Guy. But I find it really funny that all these "experts" couldn't see how important Portis really is to this team. The entire offense basically goes through him first, so not having him sent us into a bit of a tailspin. I think that if he can keep up the pace that he's set over the last two games he'd be a lock for MVP.

Re: WOW - Dr.Z's Power Rankings (10/05/06) Have Me Speechless
 

I agree with him about Rock becoming a serious threat as a kick returner, but I don't think a jump like that is warranted by winning 2 and only beating 1 good opponent. I do think that this team is in the top half of the league, but top 10? Not quite yet. I like the improvement I've seen, but it's pretty much all for naught if they drop this one the Giants.

what's weird is that they said "yeah, but steve smith is out" for carolina, but didn't give the skins the same exception. in fact, when going over 0-2 teams to make the SB, they mentioned (i think) emmitt, white, etc that came back on those teams, and THEN mentioned carolina's steve smith, and THEN talkedd about the skins and how they didn't have any reason to believe they'd make it cause they didn't have anyone coming back.

that was one of those tv chucking moments. turns out we got 3 guys back. portis, brunell, and moss all decided to come back for week 3, just in time too. I was getting anxious.

Re: WOW - Dr.Z's Power Rankings (10/05/06) Have Me Speechless
 

Several "experts" commented on Portis being out. The one who I know didn't was Tom Jackson who talked about Emmitt being out when the Cowboys started 0-2, but failed to relate that to Portis being out. But TJ has issues.

okay good, i guess i was just watching the wrong show that day.

Well you have to tell us now. What's the scoop. Mad about the SB 22 still? Booze, women, what?

Re: WOW - Dr.Z's Power Rankings (10/05/06) Have Me Speechless
 

G-Men at 21. A little low, don'tcha think?

Re: WOW - Dr.Z's Power Rankings (10/05/06) Have Me Speechless
 

We may have got respect, but did you read what he wrote about the Jags? Here it is...

[URL="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/teams/jaguars/"][COLOR=#660000]Jacksonville Jaguars[/COLOR][/URL] (2-2)
Their Monday-nighter against the Steelers was a classic heavyweight fight. But then the Redskins lit up this mighty Jacksonville defense to the tune of 36 points and 481 yards. It was like [B]Sugar Ray Leonard[/B] knocking out [B]Mike Tyson[/B].

So he may have moved us up, just mainly so he does not look as stupid as he did last week if you read the start of his column.... Let's just go out and beat those damn Giants and who cares where they put us..

The bigger question is who do you want to win the Philly/Dallas game?

Re: WOW - Dr.Z's Power Rankings (10/05/06) Have Me Speechless
 

I think I want dallas to win, unfortunately (i wish they would tie, blah, blah), just so the eagles don't get a bigger lead in the division.

dblanch says: dallas sucks

Re: WOW - Dr.Z's Power Rankings (10/05/06) Have Me Speechless
 

Unfortunately, we lost to the Cowboys, so I don't want to get into a tie breaker with them. I think I'd rather see Philly win and hope for a collapse. Or a skid when they hit the part of their schedule that doesn't include a bunch of fluff teams.

[QUOTE=EEich;224692]G-Men at 21. A little low, don'tcha think?[/QUOTE]

Not at all.

Redskins beat them this Weekend 20 - 14.

They are an unbalanced defensive team.
Their D was always suspect in the secondary and now they aren't getting pressure on the QB.
Their Pass Rush was always based on the Strahan threat, without it then Osi Umenyora (sp?) don't look so good.

Re: WOW - Dr.Z's Power Rankings (10/05/06) Have Me Speechless
 

without that constant threat of a pass rush, their secondary is really exposed. how old is strahan? it seems like he has been doing his thing for a long time

It's true they are suspect. But we haven't played well up there in a while. They (Giants) need this one bad, Especially the coaches. That circus could get away from Coughlin in a hurry. A close game. We need to play very well. I just don't know if the focus is there. The Redskins are all on their high horse blabbing away. I'm especially concerned about OUR secondary. If Springs doesn't play this year, we're not a threat to do much at all.

What about your "boys"? Are they going to end all this McNabb b.s. this week? You know they should beat Philly by 20. What will Donovan do when L.J Smith isn't wide open in the middle? He'll crap his pants and start throwing the ball up for grabs. It's a Dallas blowout. That Dallas defense is miles ahead of anyone Philly has played. Miles.

[QUOTE=Meast;224728]What do you mean prove him right? He has us losing to the giants[/QUOTE]
I mean prove him right in that he always tried to crap on us last year and we kept proving him wrong. So, now that he's finally giving the team some props (in terms of rankings at least) I hope we can prove him to be right about the Skins for once.

Re: WOW - Dr.Z's Power Rankings (10/05/06) Have Me Speechless
 

The more I think about it the more scared I am of this game. The Giants are really backed in a corner here. They have struggled with consistency all year. Granted they have played some very good teams, but that's no excuse for playing poorly. They should be 0-3 right now if Philly didn't blow that game. Seattle wiped the floor with them until they rallied with some meaningless late scores. They played the Colts tight but the Colts seemed a little off that night.

If we don't go into NY with our 'A' game, we're not going to win. NY needs this one very badly. I'm hoping the 36-0 skunk job from last year will be enough motivation for our guys to stay focused and motivated, because I really think NY is going to come out swingin' with everything they've got. If the Giants lose this they could be in for an ugly downward spiral.

If our offense keeps firing they way they have the last two weeks, I think it's going to be tough for them to keep up with us. If our 'D' can tighten up just a bit and not allow too many big plays, it could be a very long day for them. I'm predicting a close game but the Skins will pull away late, 30-21.

Re: WOW - Dr.Z's Power Rankings (10/05/06) Have Me Speechless
 

Well stated, Matty. Right on the money. It's a trap.

I forsee a Dallas blow out as well. I dream about 20, but these divisional games are hard to predict.

I saw a team that Green Bay could have beat with a WR that[B]would[/B] catch and TWO NFL calibre DB's instead of one.

Yeah I think the Giants are desperate also. But I don't think they are good. Weather the early storm and the Redskins win going away.

The Giants have been overrated going back to last year. They have some weapons offensively, but Manning is still too inconsistent and his accuracy problems hurt them at times.

Their pass 'D' is in shambles and unless they get that worked out they're not going anywhere this year.

And then there's the rift between the players and coaches. Winning will go a long way in solving that, but if they drop a few more games there could really be a serious problem brewing in that locker room.

Re: WOW - Dr.Z's Power Rankings (10/05/06) Have Me Speechless
 

the giants schedule is brutal. they could go 1-5 easily.

If they go 1-5 cue the burning at the stake of Coghlin.

The Giants as a team will self destruct.
