The article included with the rankings cites defense being a big reason for the top three sitting where they are, and then they tun around and say the Redskins D is suspect and that it better improve to stay ranked so high.

I just don't get how anyone with football knowledge could make that statement. The past three weekends our D stifled three high octane offenses, and week one we played the Giants whose offense is capable of putting up big numbers too.

The skins are finally getting credit, but it seems to me that the sports media has begrudgingly ranked the redskins so high, and are digging for reasons why they're a fluke.

You guy's make me laugh. You put down all these media people but are very fast at posting their stuff when they give us good rankings.

At least its something to talk about during what seems like is going to be a long week leading up to our most important game so far.

Either way, it's just stuff to talk about to get through the week man. No reason to take it too seriously.

I can't believe the Giants are #1.

Re: Mainstream Media Power Rankings (Week 4)
 

WOW! Kind of scary to be ranked so high. It is a long way to fall down. =( Even if we lose this weekend we are in awesome shape. This game if it is a win is icing to me.
