Official Week 5 Power Rankings Thread
 

ESPN has the Redskins staying at #11 after the loss to the Broncos. [url]http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/powerranking[/url]

Anyone else know how other "experts" and media outlets are ranking the Redskins? If you do, post here.

wow broncos number 2, we played a high powered team sunday
we are number 5 in the NFC, we also play 3 of the 4 ahead of us in the regular season, we need to play well this year

Re: Official Week 5 Power Rankings Thread
 

weird how that victory and giving up 400+ yards in the rain jumped the broncos all the way to #2... I guess we had to lose to get respect. Man, that's odd.

"They outplayed Denver in every area except for the scoreboard. This team might be better than we all thought."

wow very cool we are getting respect, these power rankings don't tell the truth about how good a team is but they are an indication of league respect and us moving up after a loss is a great indication of us getting respect. NUmber 6 wow, only behind the bucs in the nfc

Re: Official Week 5 Power Rankings Thread
 

I think #6 is a bit too high and #11 is a bit too low. I'd say #8, putting the Eagles and Bengals ahead of us.

Re: Official Week 5 Power Rankings Thread
 

Why would you put the Eagles ahead of us? We have a better record, their defense is abysmal, and they have no running game.

If they get manhandled again, they won't be ahead of us.... but mcnabb and owens are still great.

Bengals because of that marvin lewis D.

Re: Official Week 5 Power Rankings Thread
 

and i put them ahead of us because we have been terrible in the red zone.

Broncos at #2?

Beating the worst 3-0 team in NFL history moved them up that high?!

That ranking is ridiculous...I live in Denver and I want to move now...The fans here make me sick....They all left the game early on Sunday b/c of the rain...What kind of crap is that..I need to get back near some real fans quick...anybody got a room I can rent back there?

Re: Official Week 5 Power Rankings Thread
 

untill we can "handle the scoreboard", we shouldnt be in the top ten. and the eagles still should be in the top ten be cause they have McNabb, owens and westbrook and are still the defending NFC champs.

Re: Official Week 5 Power Rankings Thread
 

i love how sportsline moved us up when we lost...that doesnt really make sense.

and now our team is for real after losing a close game, but winning 3 close games in a row makes us a fluke
