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.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

[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.

[Cowell]

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.
