17. COWBOYS 2-2 16 17 12 19 18
Yes, the Cowboys rank ahead of the Redskins despite a head-to-head loss. The Redskins have nothing in their portfolio like Dallas' victory over the Chargers, the Cowboys outplayed the Skins in the Monday Night game, and the rating system likes many of the things that the Cowboys do on offense. Scoring, for example. NEXT: vs. PHI — The Eagles will put an end to any Cowboys-Redskins debate.
18. REDSKINS 3-0 18 21 16 16 29
What do the 2004 Jaguars and 1999 Patriots have in common? Like Washington, each team started off the season with three straight wins of three points or less. Neither team made the playoffs. Other teams that won three straight games by three points or less include the 8-8 Raiders of 1998 and the 9-7 Dolphins of 1999. Both teams went 2-6 over the second half of the season. That Dolphins team did make the playoffs, though, where they were pummeled 62-7 by Jacksonville. NEXT: at DEN
19. RAIDERS 1-3 22 15 8 26 24
If Drew Bledsoe checked down to his secondary receivers against the Raiders, he would have found them wide open. The Raiders still cannot defend the pass, and most quarterbacks won't obligingly stand in the pocket the whole afternoon like Bledsoe did. NEXT: Bye, then vs. SD.
20. BEARS 1-2 21 11 27 1 6
Cedric Benson will play a bigger role in the offense in the weeks to come, and the Bears are experimenting with some shotgun formations. Offensive coordinator Ron Turner was very specific in the Chicago Sun Times about how he planned to improve the offense: "We all have to do a better job." Thanks, coach. NEXT: at CLE

Or we could end up winning 10 games without a whole lotta upsets. Don't start believing that just because teams were good last year that they are still that good this year. The Rams, Raiders, Cardinal, 9ers, Cowgirlls are not unbeatable right now. If we pick up a Giants game and one of our next two....

These rankings are from FoxSports.com. Their system is based on a computer program that uses last year's rankings and a bunch of formulas to come up with blind ranking. It is a bunch of bull. Worse than the BCS computer. It has us ranked 16th in defense. I mean, come on, 16th????

I really don't care about rankings, but common sense has to mean something.

The link to the full rankings and explanation about the computer system is:

All it tells me is that the 1999 Dolphins that loss to Jacksonville 62-7 must have been playing over there heads...

All it tells me is these are the kind of stats that mean shit. Are those the only teams to ever win their first 3 games? No of course not. In fact I'd bet the vast majority of teams that win their first three games make the playoffs. I think the number is like 70%. Are those the only teams to win their first three games by less than 3 points? I bet not. So who were the others and what did they end up doing? Selective use of stats to make a point is stupidity and puts you solidly in the "hack" column in my book.
