ESPN Power Rankings

ESPN - NFL Power Rankings - National Football League

The Cowboys went from 8 to 5. In fact nearly every team that won moved up. Nearly...

[RobH4413]

Granted.

That was a pretty status quo kind of win.

It's hard to answer questions about your identity against a team without an identity.

Kind of like getting an A on a test in health class. I'll still pat myself on the back though...

[Rock Your Face]

I have a feeling a win against the Dolphins will look less and less impressive as the season moves on.

[RobH4413]

Who knows. We'll get a chance to see how they match up against the cowboys next week.

That's one game I'll be very interested to see.

If we beat Philly our ranking has to go up. Damn ESPN (kidding SmootSmack)

[Meks]

half the teams above us dont deserve it... hell we beat three of them last year

[jsarno]

Sorry, but no freakin way should tenn be 14th!!! They won that game cause Scobee got hurt for Jacksonville, then they jump from 22nd to 14th????
We are better than Tenn., San Fran, Jacksonville, Green Bay, and the Jets!

The last thing we need is to move up in anybody's rankings. Frankly I hope this team gets ridiculed and overlooked by every talking head, analyst, and obese, raving sportswriter all the way through week 17. We could use the bulletin board material.

Pretty good power rankings jsarno. I would say, however that the Panthers and Jags are a little high and the Giants are a little low.

Maybe as of today, but the G-Men will be sitting there after 3 weeks with Dedrick Ward and Jared Lorenzen running the show, don't you think?

I can definitely see your point about the Panthers...I just feel they are solid all around and a sleeper team this year.
The Jags are at 17...where would you put them? The jags have a SOLID defense, and a great running game...they just have a question at QB. They could win 9-10 this year if Garrard does ok. Of course they always seem to under achieve.
The Giants are not too low though. They just lost their starting RB, QB and DE, and got embarrassed by an overrated Cowboys offense. They will be lucky to win 1 game by week 5.

But about the rest of the picks...thanks.

I think we would have to go at least 5 - 0 just to crack the top ten. If we beat Philly and they don't put us ahead of them next week, then we can surely say they are biased against the Redskins. Of course, if the Eagles lose to us, they may plummet into the 20s because we can't possibly be any good.

If the Eagles lose to us, then everyone will say how horrible they are that they lost to the Packers and the Skins. We won't get the credit, they will be discredited. (and of course use the McNabb injury as an excuse)

Hey, don't ever underestimate the value of a chip on your shoulder as a motivational device. Maybe Joe should have Agent Hibachi stop by and give a seminar on the value of self-destructively setting yourself up as the underdog... it could be the uniting theme of DC sports franchises!
