That's good enough for me. I'm so sick of that bunch up there. Of course the run defense and Donovan's "lack of weapons" will get most of the blame even if his completion percentage is in the 40s again.

and to think wasnt the dolphins Def in the top 10 if not top 5 last year? but we run over them and get no respect for that though its like the skins beat an easy opponent.

[dmek25]

if we beat the eagles Monday, then everyone, including ESPN, will be all over our d**ks. its all about winning my friends

After watching the NFC east games from this weekend, I think we all should be right around each other. All 4 teams have the talent to get good records, but I don't think Philly should be as high as they are. And there is NO WAY IN HELL dallas is the 5th best team in the NFL. They did look good, but......whatever....they suck.

Foxsports has us at #24 dropping one spot.

On fox, they have the Bills jumping up 3 spots......after a loss.

[Darrell_Green_28]

and the dolphins move up a spot after losing to us hmmmm

[gibbsisgod]

I should say that I'm not offended by these rankings. The only reason I read them is for comedic value.

I thoght this was a pretty blase win vs miami (but a win is a win) and the O didnt look like much to brag about. I think the skins are exactly where they should be and when they beat some of the better teams they will move up.

[jbcjr14]

I am going to take the approach of many Skins players over the past several weeks. Go ahead and forget about us, don't chat about us, don't write good things about us and let us fly below the radar for awhile.

[freddyg12]

I think we're about where we should be; close to middle of the pack.
It wasn't a convincing win overall, even though we can take a no. of positives from it: improved run D, strong run game, JC showing maturity in ot, Suisham & overall team chemistry that comes w/wining a tough game.

Compare our ranking to the Vikes at 24; yeah they beat Atl., but they did so convincingly, 24-3.

We are better than Tenn., San Fran, Jacksonville, Green Bay, and the Jets!

you forget what they did at end of the season, after going 0-5, then finishing 8-8 with Vince. I think they showed they are a pretty good team going into Jacksonville and getting a divisional road win. no matter how they won, they won.

no way. Dallas and Philly are better than us...right now. ranking dont mean a damn thing. i dont know why people get all pissed off about these things. the only rankings that mean anything are the college rankings.

[redsk1]

Well, we were 5-11 last year. We opened the season up against a team that was 5-11 last year that has a new coach, new qb and we BARELY won a game on our home field.

I don't expect us to be high on a power ranking. Now on the other hand we shouldn't really move down either.

[SC Skins Fan]

I know this is obvious, but who really cares what ESPN says? This isn't college football, rankings don't matter one lick. In another obvious statement, I am continually impressed by how little other people know about the Redskins and by the sort of ignorant statements I continually hear and read by those not closely associated with the team. Whatever, I don't have much intimate knowledge about other teams either, I guess, but barring more injuries the Skins are obviously vastly improved over last year and maybe by week 14 or 15 other people will see that.
