JeffSchmeff Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I love how Dallas is the highest ranked 6-10 team from last season. :doh: http://espn.go.com/nfl/powerrankings/_/year/2011/week/0 2011 Power Rankings: Offseason RK (LW) TEAM REC COMMENT 1 (9) Packers 10-6 While other teams stockpiled free agents, the Packers stood pat. Are the defending champs still preseason favorites? (Walker) 2 (1) Patriots 14-2 Too bad "Hard Knocks" couldn't film the daily Albert Haynesworth-Chad Ochocinco show. (Clayton) 3 (7) Eagles 10-6 Only one thing will make this season a success -- winning the franchise's first Vince Lombardi Trophy. (Fox) 4 (5) Saints 11-5 Saints will find out whether Reggie Bush was an underrated contributor after all. (Sando) 5 (3) Steelers 12-4 With off-field distractions behind them, the reigning AFC champs are focused on getting back to the Super Bowl. (Walker) 6 (2) Falcons 13-3 Adding Ray Edwards quiets draft-day criticisms about ignoring pass rush. (Sando) 7 (8) Jets 11-5 So far, they have replaced Braylon Edwards, Jerricho Cotchery and Brad Smith with only Plaxico Burress and Derrick Mason. (Clayton) 8 (10) Colts 10-6 Provided Peyton Manning is healthy, don't write off the Colts. They have healed up and even added outsiders. (Kuharsky) 9 (4) Ravens 12-4 The Ravens can go as far as fourth-year QB Joe Flacco is willing to take them. (Walker) 10 (14) Chargers 9-7 Every year looks promising, then they wind up short of expectations. It's time for Philip Rivers to be grouped with the elite. (Kuharsky) 11 (12) Giants 10-6 Missing the playoffs for a second consecutive year is not an option for Tom Coughlin. (Fox) 12 (13) Buccaneers 10-6 It starts with the quarterback, and Tampa Bay has a good one in Josh Freeman. (Sando) 13 (6) Bears 11-5 The loss of longtime center Olin Kreutz will hurt Chicago's running game. (Walker) 14 (11) Chiefs 10-6 Big breakthroughs are often followed by a step back. Can the Chiefs buck that trend? (Kuharsky) 15 (17) Rams 7-9 Sam Bradford, Josh McDaniels a compelling combination for the Rams. (Sando) 16 (18) Cowboys 6-10 It will be interesting to see Rob Ryan's effect on the Cowboys' defense. (Fox) 17 (21) Texans 6-10 Always a darling preseason pick. Could it be the year? Sure. Could it be another failure with people getting fired? Sure. (Kuharsky) 18 (24) Lions 6-10 The Lions have "sleeper" written all over them, but only if quarterback Matthew Stafford stays healthy. (Walker) 19 (19) Seahawks 7-9 Sidney Rice, Zach Miller give Seattle needed weapons in passing game. (Sando) 20 (20) Titans 6-10 Don't buy that they will be contenders for Andrew Luck. Mike Munchak will squeeze something out of the Titans. (Kuharsky) 21 (28) Cardinals 5-11 Kevin Kolb's arrival restores hope at quarterback, but time will tell whether Kolb's the answer. (Sando) 22 (16) Jaguars 8-8 Defense will be better for sure. The question is whether David Garrard can play with consistency. (Kuharsky) 23 (15) Raiders 8-8 The Raiders are on the rise if Jason Campbell can play consistently. You have to like Hue Jackson's energy. (Kuharsky) 24 (22) Dolphins 7-9 If the Dolphins can't get Brett Favre to challenge Chad Henne, maybe they can ask Dan Marino. (Clayton) 25 (23) Vikings 6-10 Minnesota actually got younger at quarterback by acquiring 34-year-old Donovan McNabb. (Walker) 26 (25) 49ers 6-10 Widespread changes on defense raise questions about 49ers' short-term prospects. (Sando) 27 (29) Broncos 4-12 I fear the first year of the John Fox regime will be a long, ugly one filled with Tim Tebow-related controversy. (Kuharsky) 28 (27) Browns 5-11 If QB Colt McCoy isn't the answer, it will be another long season in Cleveland. (Walker) 29 (26) Redskins 6-10 In a few more weeks, Mike Shanahan might wish he had kept Donovan McNabb. (Fox) 30 (32) Panthers 2-14 Carolina came out swinging in free agency, but future hinges on Cam Newton. (Sando) 31 (30) Bills 4-12 The Bills' offensive line can't afford an injury, but it would look better had it added Tyson Clabo. (Clayton) 32 (31) Bengals 4-12 The Bengals are moving on from the Carson Palmer-Chad Ochocinco era, but expect plenty of growing pains with young players.

'Skins_&_'Stons Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 No surprise here. Our QBs are Larry Moe & Curly. We ARE REBUILDING. Anyone who honestly believes otherwise is an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champskins Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 So Rex Grossman is an amazing QB because they went to the SB (Bears)??? I'd say they are all mediocre at best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who deals in absolutes is an idiot. No, we don't have the 3 Stooges at QB. However, we may not have our future QB on the team, either. Grossman and Beck can be serviceable until that player arrives. The tag line they use to justify the ranking they give the Redskins says it all. McNabb is a sports media darling, and they are outraged at his treatment last year. This is them showing it. Just think back to the outrage we saw from the media after McNabb's benching (despite the fact that Rex played better). You would think McNabb's civil rights had been violated. Now they are displaying that outrage by saying the Redskins will be lucky to win 2 games this year. Whatever. I don't know how we will finish, but I think we are going to do better than the media's outrage-fueled guesses say we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scuppajones Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 29th is about right, I got the skins winning about 5 games this year tops. It is going to a long season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys are about as accurate at these rankings as your average weatherman predicting the weather. The way to look at it are that's how the teams rank as of right now. It's not necessarily a prediction of how the teams will finish the season. I don't think we'll regret getting rid of Donovan (well, the smart fans anyway) but it could be rough...

SkinsGuy Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 29th is about right, I got the skins winning about 5 games this year tops. It is going to a long season. So you think the Redskins will do WORSE than last year? (They were 6-10 last year) Why? What draws you to that conclusion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champskins Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Don't turn it around. Rex Grossman is not in this discussion. not turning it around, I was giving you an example in the parallel scenario if you didnt catch it the first time... Grossman "took" the Bears to the SB in 2006, which was mainly led by a stout defense. This is the same case with the people surrounding Flacco and Dirty Sanchez... Jets would have been better off giving Clemens the starting position, and Flacco is no better than Jason Campbell behind a better line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM72 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 So you think the Redskins will do WORSE than last year? (They were 6-10 last year)Why? What draws you to that conclusion? Seriously, I can see us going 1-5 in the division and it wouldn't suprise me if we go 0-6. We also have to play the AFC East and tough NFC teams. I actually got us going 4-12.

Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 3-13 is what im predicting. hopefully if someone finishes worse its a team with a QB already so luck can fall to us. and yes we are going to be worse than last year.

That would be nice, but the two candidates that might finish worse is the Bengles and the Bills and both of those teams would draft a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll let it play out and see how the season comes to an end. My moneys not going on either of those teams, we'll leave it at that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets would have been better off giving Clemens the starting position, and Flacco is no better than Jason Campbell behind a better line Ironically, Sanchez and Flacco both have made the playoffs every year since they've been in the league. Go figure, building a team around a guy and slowly customizing the team to the guy's strengths while protecting him with a strong game and keeping him healthy instead of throwing him to the wolves and blaming all the teams failures on him until you run him out of town. Yeah, I'd take Flacco and Sanchez over Beck and Grossman anyday. And I like Beck and Grossman Shouldn't throw stones if you live a glass house and what not...

AKM311 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 5-11 is my prediction as well. But I am ok with that as long as the defense comes together and the offense improves. Especially the youngsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
