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.

Yeah, it was pretty funny on NFL Live today. They did their little video clip highlight of the NFL for the month of September, and they barely showed a bit of the Redskins (Santana's long TD against NO was it), all the while showing a bunch of Cowboys clips, TO's tds, etc etc. Not even a blip of Sunday's game either, which most "experts" are calling the signature win of the season for the entire league so far. Sigh.

I said it once and I'll say it again, the media's love affair with Cowboys is so pathetic. It's the almighty dollar. TO/Pacman drama and Romo/Jessica sells.

What? Where should they be after one loss ranked last? Please. They loss a hard fought game but everybody saw the game. Eyes don't lie. I think that is the proper place for them.

Sometimes teams have games like that when you come up against a good team that comes ready to play and you don't. It happens but they are unlikely to play that bad on defense again, especially Newman. They are 3-1, just like your team so where should they be ranked then? Now, when answering this question remember the strength of schedule these two teams played.
