a win against the Pats this weekend would certainly shake the ranking structure some....
 
If we could keep the streak going on it will improve week to week but we need more W's.
 
The players need to see this. How the hell is the team we beat 38-13 ahead of us with the same record, but worse division record? I'll accept the Cowboys only because they're loaded with talent and their starting QB missed some games, but NE? I don't f'ing think so, and we'd better prove why this week.
 
We would onnly move up on the Pats and that's about it. We're still not winning our division and have the easiest schedule so we would need to be 8-4 to move into the Top 10 I would say.

Ravens can make the same statement about us being ahead of them.

Because the Patriots are a better team now than they were in week 3.

Cassel has made huge improvements in his game and they still have Moss and Welker to throw to.

The Firm (Benjarvus Green-Hilly), has risen to the challenge after the Pats lost Maroney early in the year.

Rankings are BS. Lets worry more about beating the Pats and less about why they are ranked ahead of us on someone elses "Best teams in the league list."
 
Wow, I know that these things take records into consideration first, but this list sucks.

If you look at the records, there isn't one team that out of place based on them. I don't care if the Bucs are 7-3, there's no way in hell they're better than some of the teams below them.

And the Panthers? They're ranked 3rd because they're 8-2. They stuggled against the Raiders AND the Lions. I would defintely put them below the the Steelers, and probably below the Colts and Redskins.

And having us at 12, the way we've been playing? I would probbaly drop us 4 spots, behind the Ravens, Falcons, Broncos, and Packers. I don't care if we did beat the Broncos. It was a close game and I think we would lose if we played them this weekend.

Honestly, when it comes to one team beating another....who cares as far as rankings are concerned. The Bengals tied the Eagles.....does that mean they should be ranked right behind the Eagles at 18th?
 
ESPN power rankings are a joke. It's simply the opinion of a bunch of people at ESPN. The players know where they stand and that's all that really matters.
 
ESPN = Eastcoast Suckup Pansy Network

Pats are going down hard this week!!! We may not put up 38 points, but Cassel is going to get punished the way Brady did 2 years ago in Miami! I was there and I could swear he was actually crying on the sideline!!! It was thee most beautiful thing I'd ever seen in my life!!! Dolphins-24 Pats-9 this Sunday
