ESPN Power Rankings

I get what your saying about how power rankings don't matter, but I do like to see were the rank teams and whether I agree with their rankings. Did you see how high they shot the Bengals? They win one game and now they are considered the 4th best team in the NFL.

I've got no problem with where we are, but the Cowboys at #5? Yeah they put up 45 points, but against a lousy defense, and they also allowed 35 points. That hardly warrants jumping UP three spots to #5 in my book.

I think the Ravens are a little suspect too. They lost and turned the ball over 6 times, that's a miserable showing.

I'm not too upset about where were ranked, theres a few teams above us that shouldnt be....and I dont think you should ever go DOWN after a win.....

and not to say they should be under us...but how over-rated can the Cowboys get...Win or Loss for crying out loud they gave up 35 points.

It does matter how they won...that's how power rankings are made. They won by a fluke injury to a key player on the Jags...had they had Scobee (or carried two kickers) then the Titans would have lost that game.
The Titans are overrated, and Vince Young (now that Vick is out of the league) is THE most overrated player in the entire league. He threw for only 78 yards and an int last week yet people are still wanting to exhault him. The won't even win 8 games this year.

Looking at the rankings with an unbiased eye, I reckon 19th is too high and Fox's 24th is about right.

i do'nt take much stock in anything ESPN ranks.i think the only fair nfl reporter on there is john clayton.mort,salsbury,schlerth,wierder,and steve young are'nt anything but modern day asskissers in a league of their own.

They are on crack. Arizona looked like shazam and they are ahead of us. Miami will be no worse than 8-8. They are a good team that fell apart the way we did last year. Our defense has gone from 31st to at least 15th. Our offense should only be better with Portis and Campbell having another year. They are idiots.

NicknacK89 · 09-12-2007, 08:40 PM

It's too bad no one notices. McNabb leads the lead in YAC from receivers year after year.

There is no doubt that this team has alot of proving to do before it gets the respect that it wants. So I say let 'em prove it. After a 5-11 season what can one expect? Oh, and get well soon Jon.

I think if we beat the Eagles this monday night we have a nice chance of starting the season 5-1 with games against the depleted Giants at home, the Lions at home which could turn out to be tough, then Packers away which is always tough, then we come home to the Cardinals which should be a win. I think this game against the Eagles is shaping up to be very important to this team's confidence.
