ESPN Power Rankings

jbcjr14 · 09-12-2007, 08:25 AM

I am going to take the approach of many Skins players over the past several weeks. Go ahead and forget about us, don't chat about us, don't write good things about us and let us fly below the radar for awhile.

I think we're about where we should be; close to middle of the pack.
It wasn't a convincing win overall, even though we can take a no. of positives from it: improved run D, strong run game, JC showing maturity in ot, Suisham & overall team chemistry that comes w/wining a tough game.

Compare our ranking to the Vikes at 24; yeah they beat Atl., but they did so convincingly, 24-3.

Well, we were 5-11 last year. We opened the season up against a team that was 5-11 last year that has a new coach, new qb and we BARELY won a game on our home field.

I don't expect us to be high on a power ranking. Now on the other hand we shouldn't really move down either.

I've got no problem with where we are, but the Cowboys at #5? Yeah they put up 45 points, but against a lousy defense, and they also allowed 35 points. That hardly warrants jumping UP three spots to #5 in my book.

I think the Ravens are a little suspect too. They lost and turned the ball over 6 times, that's a miserable showing.

I'm not too upset about where were ranked, theres a few teams above us that shouldnt be....and I dont think you should ever go DOWN after a win.....

and not to say they should be under us...but how over-rated can the Cowboys get...Win or Loss for crying out loud they gave up 35 points.

Looking at the rankings with an unbiased eye, I reckon 19th is too high and Fox's 24th is about right.

i do'nt take much stock in anything ESPN ranks.i think the only fair nfl reporter on there is john clayton.mort,salsbury,schlerth,wierder,and steve young are'nt anything but modern day asskissers in a league of their own.

They are on crack. Arizona looked like shazam and they are ahead of us. Miami will be no worse than 8-8. They are a good team that fell apart the way we did last year. Our defense has gone from 31st to at least 15th. Our offense should only be better with Portis and Campbell having another year. They are idiots.

with a review like that how did we move down?

4mrusmc · 09-12-2007, 09:04 PM

There is no doubt that this team has alot of proving to do before it gets the respect that it wants. So I say let 'em prove it. After a 5-11 season what can one expect? Oh, and get well soon Jon.

I think if we beat the Eagles this monday night we have a nice chance of starting the season 5-1 with games against the depleted Giants at home, the Lions at home which could turn out to be tough, then Packers away which is always tough, then we come home to the Cardinals which should be a win. I think this game against the Eagles is shaping up to be very important to this team's confidence.
