The Redskins are #26, last among all of our divison rivals. It must be real easy to hate on them skins right about now.

Too angry I'll give it a day or two.

I tend not to put to much stock into lists like these even though people love to read them. However I must say that the QB switch does make the Skins look bad and a mild win over the Bears isn't all that impressive. The real crime on that list is the Jets being 18th. They have nothing that impresses me and got their clock cleaned this weekend.

mooby · 09-13-2005, 03:25 PM

hmm, were we 26th before this came out? either way, i don't care. let them think what they want.

Dallas Number 8!!!! And Newyork Jumps 8 Spots

We can't expect a jump after a listless performance against Chicago. If the skins beat dallas and then are ranked 26, my feathers will be ruffled. The Skins need to earn their respect before we sit here and demand it...

That Guy · 09-13-2005, 03:46 PM

we earned that 26 this week

we need to beat at least one good team before we can make a jump.

JWsleep · 09-13-2005, 03:46 PM

We only scored 9 points--what do ya expect?

Our D is great, our O isn't--ESPN isn't going to assume we're about to break out, that's for sure.

We allowed the least amount of points. That counts for something. This team is looking more and more like the Ravens of 2000.

saskin · 09-13-2005, 09:10 PM

To be honest, I wouldn't mind us being ranked last. Why? So when(or if) we start kicking ass, we can have even more bragging rights and more people will be focused on us. And if we turn out to be a dud, we are already in last place. No point in being ranked high and can't back it up.

Yeah except the Ravens d of 2000 scored a helluva lot of points off turnovers, which is why they won games.

skinsfanthru&thru · 09-13-2005, 09:19 PM

While I in now way expect the skins to be suddenly put in the top 16 or something , even though they are one of the 16 teams with a win right now, they should at the least be put ahead of the eerily similar Ravens, who lost, the Jets who looked absolutely pathetic, and lost, the Rams who lost to the 49ers, THE 49ERS!!!, and the dismal Broncos who lost to FREAKIN MIAMI!!!!

but like others have posted, this type of stuff doesn't really matter, but it does show what teams some people like to suck up too early on and sitting at the back of a few teams' bandwagons, so they can jump off easily when they need to.

detroit allowed 3 points, and last i checked, 3 is less than 7

I thinkt he 2000 ravens had more pressure up front and scored a lot more points.

illdefined · 09-13-2005, 03:46 PM

what do you expect? the offense is suddenly starting over with the worst QB in the NFL last year. how would you rank that?

RedskinRat · 09-13-2005, 03:49 PM

I'd expect to be higher based on our D alone however I'm sure things will shake out by mid-season.
