WOW - Dr.Z's Power Rankings (10/05/06) Have Me Speechless

[That Guy]

honestly, being anemic for two weeks and the preseason is what had everyone so low on the skins in the first place. that's why they doubted the texans game. two weeks in a row though is harder to disprove.

i do agree that dr. z sucks though. he sucks hard.

I agree with you, That Guy. But I find it really funny that all these "experts" couldn't see how important Portis really is to this team. The entire offense basically goes through him first, so not having him sent us into a bit of a tailspin. I think that if he can keep up the pace that he's set over the last two games he'd be a lock for MVP.

what's weird is that they said "yeah, but steve smith is out" for carolina, but didn't give the skins the same exception. in fact, when going over 0-2 teams to make the SB, they mentioned (i think) emmitt, white, etc that came back on those teams, and THEN mentioned carolina's steve smith, and THEN talkedd about the skins and how they didn't have any reason to believe they'd make it cause they didn't have anyone coming back.

that was one of those tv chucking moments. turns out we got 3 guys back. portis, brunell, and moss all decided to come back for week 3, just in time too. I was getting anxious.

Several "experts" commented on Portis being out. The one who I know didn't was Tom Jackson who talked about Emmitt being out when the Cowboys started 0-2, but failed to relate that to Portis being out. But TJ has issues.

Well you have to tell us now. What's the scoop. Mad about the SB 22 still? Booze, women, what?

[That Guy]

Not at all.

Redskins beat them this Weekend 20 - 14.

They are an unbalanced defensive team.
Their D was always suspect in the secondary and now they aren't getting pressure on the QB.
Their Pass Rush was always based on the Strahan threat, without it then Osi Umenyora (sp?) don't look so good.

It's true they are suspect. But we haven't played well up there in a while. They (Giants) need this one bad, Especially the coaches. That circus could get away from Coughlin in a hurry. A close game. We need to play very well. I just don't know if the focus is there. The Redskins are all on their high horse blabbing away. I'm especially concerned about OUR secondary. If Springs doesn't play this year, we're not a threat to do much at all.

What about your "boys"? Are they going to end all this McNabb b.s. this week? You know they should beat Philly by 20. What will Donovan do when L.J Smith isn't wide open in the middle? He'll crap his pants and start throwing the ball up for grabs. It's a Dallas blowout. That Dallas defense is miles ahead of anyone Philly has played. Miles.

I forsee a Dallas blow out as well. I dream about 20, but these divisional games are hard to predict.

I saw a team that Green Bay could have beat with a WR thatwould catch and TWO NFL calibre DB's instead of one.

[GhettoDogAllStars]

I think I want dallas to win, unfortunately (i wish they would tie, blah, blah), just so the eagles don't get a bigger lead in the division.

Interesting... Hopefully we prove him right, for once.

What do you mean prove him right? He has us losing to the giants

I mean prove him right in that he always tried to crap on us last year and we kept proving him wrong. So, now that he's finally giving the team some props (in terms of rankings at least) I hope we can prove him to be right about the Skins for once.

[Daseal]

Unfortunately, we lost to the Cowboys, so I don't want to get into a tie breaker with them. I think I'd rather see Philly win and hope for a collapse. Or a skid when they hit the part of their schedule that doesn't include a bunch of fluff teams.

[dmek25]

without that constant threat of a pass rush, their secondary is really exposed. how old is strahan? it seems like he has been doing his thing for a long time
