I think at this point I don't care much. middle of the road seems about right for us. We'll know better after game 4 who is for real and who isn't. What the Skins need to do is capitalize on the issues the other teams in our division have with injuries and poor play and get some games on the them. I am extremely interested in what we do this weekend. It will say a lot about our team. I think right now Houston is in a better place than Dallas.

I enjoy being under the radar. The Redskins never get any respect anyway, so I will take #14.

Those rankings change so much week-to-week during the season that they don't mean much now.

Yeah this isn't an issue. We're ranked 14th, which is fine by me. Anybody check out how they broke it down? Clayton ranked us 8th, two of the other guys ranked us 16th lol. Idc where we are ranked as long as we get it done on gameday.

I don’t understand how GB can be so high and Philly so low.
Id switch the Colts and Texans
Cowboys should be somewhere around 10-15
Jets should be around 8 or 9
Giants should be closer to the top 10
Seattle should be ahead of 49ers
The Chargers and Chiefs should be around 15-20

I think its fair where we are placed. It seems like our defense is good, but every team is going to be taking shots at Doughty until Kareem gets better and our offense is still trying to figure itself out. But this has to be the worst power rankings ive seen from ESPN, this is in the same league as yahoo’s power rankings.

I think PFT’s power rankings is pretty good:

Did you even see the Jets game? The Colts have owned Houston so with just one game and one win in yrs over the Colts I see how the Colts are ranked over them.

Hey guys! New to the board as a poster been reading for awhile thought it was about time for me to join and chime in.

Not sure what the real point of power rankings is after week 1 anyway. As we see in college football and basketball rankings mean very little especially early in the season. If they were to do such "Power Rankings" I would wait until at least week 4 that we have an idea of how everyone looks.

That being said, arguing any ranking at this point really doesn't mean a whole lot. But, for the sake of the argument I guess the two that I have a problem with is Houston at #7 and the Falcons at #13. I know Houston had a big win this week against a Super Bowl contender, but the Colts lost there best defensive player early on and did have enough time to adjust schematically to patch it up. As for the Falcons, not sure why they were so high in the first place. They seem like a .500 team to me and for them to still be in the top half after losing to a Pittsburgh team that didn't have their starting quarterback seems awkward.

Nevertheless, I think the ranking of the Skins is appropriate. If they turn out a similar defensive performance against the Texans then We should be vaulted into the top 10. Either way, the offense will need to produce more if we are to be a serious contender.

Respect has to be earned and we have not done that in the past 10 yrs.

The Caps have spoiled me. I'm use these days towards looking at the first 3 spots to find my team.

Being eternal regular season champions is not very impressive.

If you mean letting Arian Foster gash them, it's going to be a loooooong day.

Just have to take a cue from the Colts. Keep getting to the playoffs with the leagues best player and eventually something is bound to stick.
