No kidding. I don't think the Colts were ready Texans to run at them like that. The Skins will have a week to prepare, plus I think they have better personnel to slow them down. Foster isn't MJD or Chris Johnson. He was just going against he right opponent on the right day.

LOL. So the Cowboys go to #8, but we only go up 3. Ummmm, if we beat a #8 why shouldn't we be #7 or at least moved up real far? Oh that's right, this is BSPN who has a love fest for the Cowboys.

Skins jumped from 20 to 17 from the start of the preseason to the end and now 17 to 14 (though Clayton has them in his top 10). So that's a pretty solid jump
And you don't just jump over a team because you beat them. Did James Madison jumped over Virginia Tech because they beat them? Well that may be a bad example but you get my point.

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.
The Jets have one of the best defenses in the entire league, the Ravens won by a point. The problem the Jets have; more so then the Hard Knocks, boys will be boys antics, load mouth coach and big names with bigger ego players, is that their QB sucks. That was absolutely clear when we played them in the preseason. I was shocked seeing how bad Sanchez was then. But i think theres a chance Sanchez gets better as time goes on, and if not theres Burnell to step in and managed games and 2 decent running backs to take pressure off him. ESPN has the Ravens as number 2 which i think is fair. So barely losing to a really good team keeps you in the top ten in my book.
When you go to a casino they show the last 20 colors that won on the roulette wheel. So when you see that it just landed on black 4 times in a row you place your chip on red, even though the next spin is completely independent of spins before hand. The Texans are good and the Colts are good, just not as good as the Texans imo this year. History plays little or no part when 2 capable teams play each other imo.

From what I have seen yeah, that is fair. I can see us as high as 12 also.

Haha I understand. I was going to delete that part, but figured it was up long enough so no point. What I think I meant more was, their asses are constantly over rated. It's like I always say, one playoff win and here they are as the "Super Bowl rep." Come on.
Not going to say they aren't a good team, but....hell IDK what I'm trying to say, F DALLAS and ESPN.
