The climb to the top is ours to lose this week.

All three division foes ranked one, two and three, that is brutual but if we somehow can split with all three and get into the playoffs we will be much better.

Got to look at it from a college program perspective, the better and tougher our opponents, the better and tougher we get.

I can't complain . . . much.

I think it's funny that they justify the eagles at no. 3 saying . . . well they kept up with the cowboys . . . yet give us no credit for keeping the game close with NY. Oh well, you know I bet if we beat the cowboys they'll still be rated higher then us, hopefully we'll get some respect though.

Honestly, I think we are better than these teams ahead of us:

Panthers, Patriots, Jags...POSSIBLY the Bucs too. The Pats look horrible and their next 3 games are against SF (O'Sullivan is actually playing VERY well), San Diego (LOSS) and Denver (LOSS). They may not even win their division.

The Colts are even looking shaky on both sides of the ball. Their Offense will come around but the D may not, especially with losing Bob Sanders.

I agree, although I think that we are definitely better than Tampa.

We need to prove this on the field. A win in Dallas and/or Philly will earn respect for the Skins.

Rankings, Schmankings - Give me wins and let the pundits rank us where ever they want to.

Man I wish it was Sunday.

The only way we'd be ranked above them is if we beat them by 4 TD's and/or shut them out. Not gonna happen. Great opportunity to get a big division win and earn some respect around the league though.

How can you not care what the pundits think?!?!? Don't you know THEY hold the key to the Redskins success. LOL

Actually, the only thing I think is funny is that when the Skins win, we go up two spaces but our opponent goes down big. So when we beat Dallas, we will probably be ranked 13, and Dallas will drop to #7 or 8. Pundits are FUNNY

The skins loss the the Giants is treated as a drubbing by the media and the Eagles loss to the Cowboys is somehow a victory for them. It makes no sense...it's a good thing that ESPN's opinion at the end of the day doesn't mean Sh*t...

Re: ESPN's Week 4 Power Rankings
 
There will never be enough criticism thrown to Philly, NY or Dallas the way the Redskins have been treated after the first game this year. Our defense has been stingy in giving up points and many Giant fans were upset that their team didn't blow us out. But the Redskins will get the respect that they deserve after back to back ass whippins of the so-called Beast of the East. We did it in 2005 , whipping out the NY, DALLAS AND PHILLY to make it to the playoffs and we'll do it again.

I think the media only watched the first and part of the second quarter of the Giants/Redskins game.

Re: ESPN's Week 4 Power Rankings
 
I guess they have the Bucs ahead of us because they beat us last year in an ugly game that could have gone either way- This year they cant expect to throw the ball 70 times a game and win with consistency. I would also have Baltimore ranked a little higher even with Flacco playing like the rookie he is- their defense is looking like the 2000 superbowl team and were gonna have to play them at Baltimore in December. I am just curious as to what the rankings are gonna look like after we beat Dallas this week.

I'm sure Dallas would drop only a few spots. I mean the Patriots lost to a team that was 1-15 last year and they are still in the top 15.

Re: ESPN's Week 4 Power Rankings
 
Even if we did beat the Boyz and Eagles, the skins still wouldn't get the respect they deserve. The media would say the Boyz and Eagles "beat themselves" instead of admitting that skins played good ball. That is what some of the analyst said about the Cards game. If the skins beat both of them I bet ESPN wouldn't rank them higher than #10. They still wouldn't make King's fine fifteen.
Btw SI has the skins ranked at #10 and USAtoday and CBS has them at #12

I can assure you we are better than the Bucs.

Some of the comments on here had me going back and looking at the rankings. When I first looked I [B]presumed[/B] the rankings were by wins/losses, then thought maybe it has to do with something else. After looking I'm lost.....how can several 1-2 teams be ahead of 2-1 teams? or for that matter how can 2-1 teams be ahead of 3-0 teams? The Eagles are 2-1 and ranked 3rd? The Skins are ranked 2-1....and at this point I think we can all agree that the Patriots are going to be the Dolphins of last yr. They may win more but with out their star QB and the bad loss I would have guessed they would have taken a hard fall on that list.

IRISHSKIN24 09-25-2008 03:55 PM

Re: ESPN's Week 4 Power Rankings
 
you have to win consistently to get respect.
the reason why the pats are still ranked high is because they have years of dominance under their belt. thats not gonna change while theyre 2-1 and still have the team (even though the head's gone). give it a couple wks if they lose theyll be like 17.

....but i could careless "HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!!!"

I believe most NFL power rankings use a formula that factors in many things. Points allowed/surrendered, yards, turnover differential, wheather or not a team was home or away, strength of schedule, etc... Much like the GWP thread, these rankings are a good gague, but can not be totally indicative of a teams actual "strength".

tebow would have better luck as a lion, though gut says chiefs...

either way, he'll have a WR or two, a washed up RB and an OL that can't block anyone.

SI.com power rankings has us at #10, but "Dr. Z" does make a point to mock us with this tidbit..

"My problem with this team is that I saw it, live, in that lackluster loss to the Giants, and the memory dies hard. But it has come back to beat two decent teams, and Jason Campbell hasn't thrown a pick this year, and would you stop laughing please? Can't you see that I'm going out of my way, trying to be fair?"

Yes. Our lackluster loss to the superbowl champions on thier home field, with Strahan popping out of an over-sized Lombardi trophy, losing by only 9 points, with a new head coach and offense. lol. It's a shame people remember the bad more than the good.

Once again, I think every single sports reporter saw the first half of the Skins/Giants game twice (except Moss' TD). Funny how no one talks about the Giants' lackluster win against the BENGALS (the f'ing BENGALS!!)
