stoney26 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I dont think we are better than the Patriots. And Denver is not that good. Id rather be in the middle of the pack so people will take us lightly. But then again I guess coaches around the NFL dont take any team lightly, regardless of these meaningless rankings.

bird_1972 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 The entire NFC East is getting some love in these rankings. Good to see. Makes all the games that much more fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnhay Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Damn, i think 6 is pretty generous by what we've shown so far. 7 last week was also pretty generous. BTW, don't get me wrong, we have the best team in the league imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TODD Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Whoa. A bit over-zealous to call us better than NY, NE, and Philly... And Prisco shafted the hell out of the Jets coming off a win over the undefeated Bucs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budski Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 According to that quote about KC they could have their hands full this weekend. Especially after how our offense played Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GC8 Bunta Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 i've seen mixed reviews. ESPN has us at 11. Fox has us in the 20's. I think we are top ten, dunno about 6. if we beat the chiefs... we are definitely top 5, atleast in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLiverpool Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 The Skins should be able to control the clock against KC, hence they won't have tons of time to score. Think how many 3 and outs Denver had.. five or six if I am not mistaken, and that was more then they'd had in all their prior games combined. Do people really think KC is gonna score big? I think Denver matched up better against us, and I think with three fairly healthy corners, the Skins will limit KC a lot(IMO). Plus, I think Moss and Brunell will have their hookups, and hopefully Portis gets a score, or two..or three Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windy City Skins fan Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I don't believe much in rankings and such, but what I think the recent high status for the Skins points to is the fact that people are seeing that this team is well-coached and tough....and even more balanced than previously thought. It's only going to get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrockster21 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 http://www.cbs.sportsline.com/nfl/powerrankings A week ago, I said there would be one unbeaten team left by Monday morning. When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Washington Redskins and Cincinnati Bengals all lost close games, it left the Indianapolis Colts as the only team that still has the 1972 Miami Dolphins waiting to pop the champagne. The Colts are 5-0 and appear to be unchallenged until they face the New England Patriots on the road Nov. 7. That makes the Colts the easy pick to sit atop the CBS SportsLine Power Rankings. Good luck figuring it all out after that. The Pittsburgh Steelers are next in the second spot, but what if Ben Roethlisberger is down for a long period of time? Are they really the second-best team with Charlie Batch throwing passes? After the Steelers, it gets really tricky, maybe as tricky as it's been putting this 32 together. With losses by the three unbeaten teams, plus the Eagles and Falcons also losing, it makes for a lot of tough choices in the top 10. Take the Eagles. They were dominated in Dallas, but is that a mulligan for a week, a team waiting in ambush for another team on the road for the second consecutive week? Or is that a sign of trouble with the Eagles? We'll go with a lean more toward the first point, which is why the Eagles don't go out of the top 10. But Dallas does have to move into it, and does have to be above the Eagles. Five of the teams in this top 10 lost this past weekend. That's either a sign that we truly have parity or we have no idea who is really any good. The only definite right now is the Colts are the best team. Those old Dolphins, who celebrate like heck when the last unbeaten team falls every year, might be forced to hold off on any cork popping until early November. This Colts team won't lose until then at the earliest. The rankings for Oct. 11: POWER RANKINGS Current Team Previous 1 Indianapolis Colts 1 The defense continues to dominate and they're on cruise control until they face the Patriots next month. The offense still isn't at full throttle. 2 Pittsburgh Steelers 3 That was a big-time road victory Monday night, but if Ben Roethlisberger is out for a long time, it will be a costly one. One has to wonder what will happen if he's out. 3 Denver Broncos 8 At 4-1, they have to feel pretty good about their start. They do have to play better than they did against the Redskins, who actually handled them in losing. 4 New England Patriots 10 There were many out there ready to bury this team. Not so fast. There's too much fight for that to happen. Plus, they have Tom Brady and Adam Vinatieri. 5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 6 Without Cadillac Williams, the quarterback play had to be better and it wasn't. Now they get a tough test with Miami coming to Tampa. 6 Washington Redskins 7 They outplayed Denver in every area except for the scoreboard. This team might be better than we all thought. 7 Cincinnati Bengals 5 So do we really know how good this team is yet? They played well in Jacksonville, but good teams have to win those games to be considered elite. 8 Dallas Cowboys 16 What they did to the Eagles was impressive. Now they get the Giants in another key divisional showdown. 9 Philadelphia Eagles 2 They limp into their bye week. And really, it couldn't come at a better time. Donovan McNabb needs the rest. 10 Atlanta Falcons 4 They found out life without Mike Vick doesn't mean they can't compete. But the defense let them down. 11 New York Giants 11 They come off a bye week feeling good about their start. A victory at Dallas on Sunday will tell a bunch about this team. 12 Jacksonville Jaguars 13 After knocking the Bengals from the unbeaten ranks, they get the Steelers on the road. If it's without Roethlisberger, they'll be thrilled about that. 13 Miami Dolphins 12 Ricky Williams returns? Is that a good thing? Or does it take away carries that Ronnie Brown needs? 14 Seattle Seahawks 15 Props to this group for winning a big road game. They look to have a firm grasp on a weak division. 15 San Diego Chargers 9 This might be one of the best 2-3 teams ever. They've lost three games after leading in the fourth quarter. Ouch. 16 Carolina Panthers 17 Coming back from 10 down in the fourth quarter against the Cardinals was impressive. They do have to work on that pass defense. 17 Kansas City Chiefs 18 Did the Chiefs find a defense during their bye week? If not, it's going to be a long season. 18 St. Louis Rams 19 How will this team respond without coach Mike Martz? One thing that has to improve is the awful defense. 19 Detroit Lions 28 Look who's in first place in the NFC North. For all the troubles they've had so far, they came to life against the Ravens. Can it continue? 20 New York Jets 26 Can they make the playoffs with Vinny Testaverde? That's to be determined, but they are better on offense with him. 21 Buffalo Bills 24 Now that the quarterback issue is resolved, look for the Bills to pick up their play. This team has talent on both sides of the ball. 22 Oakland Raiders 25 They come off their bye week with a chance to get back in the division race with a key game against the Chargers. Are they ready to make a run? 23 Cleveland Browns 23 Romeo Crennel and his staff deserve lots of praise for the way they have this undermanned team playing. Trent Dilfer keeps making plays at key times. 24 Chicago Bears 21 The offense is pedestrian, but that's what you get with a rookie quarterback. If the defense made stops in the fourth quarter, they would have beaten Cleveland, so it's not all on Kyle Orton. 25 Minnesota Vikings 20 Did the bye week do this team any good? If not, the coach will be looking for work soon -- no matter what the owner has said. 26 Baltimore Ravens 22 What in the heck is wrong with this team? We knew the offense would struggle, but now the defense is as well? It doesn't look pretty, that's for sure. 27 Tennessee Titans 27 Like we said before the season, this is a young team that will fight all year long. Steve McNair had a good day in Houston. 28 Green Bay Packers 30 They're decimated by injuries, but Brett Favre can still get it done. Getting that first victory might get this team started. 29 New Orleans Saints 14 It only gets worse for this team as Deuce McAllister is lost for season. Can they regroup? Or is this season lost? 30 Arizona Cardinals 29 Josh McCown is putting up impressive numbers, but there are still too many mistakes. They're the same Cardinals in a lot of respects. 31 San Francisco 49ers 31 There will be some trying times with a rookie quarterback. At least the defense played better. 32 Houston Texans 32 Just when we think it can't get any worse, it does. What do they do now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
