we have the same record as the raiders and browns. but, we beat the raiders and lost to the browns. so, youd think espn would use that in their rankings lol nope


were ranked ahead of the browns and behind the raiders...i know power rankings dont mean anything, its just funny that theyre so stupid
 
Its not about who you beat its about what they can do to stir up the bees nest...
 
they are about right. but i would have put buffalo above the fins.

the browns suck. they are truely a bad team. yeah, they beat the fins, but the fins are still a better team.

the raiders are a better team then the fins, bills, and browns. they should be rated higher. you might have pulled an upset, but if you were to play again, the fins would still be the underdog.
 
they take the entire season into account with their formula... not one particular week's performance... c'mon... you know how this works...

i thought that before last week... but now, i'm not so sure about this at all... solid O-line... solid RB... solid, up-and-coming receiving corps... fine defensive scheme with a few good players... (McCutcheon, Davis, Roye)... i'd say Romeo has them going in the right direction...

they WERE the last team to be the Bears, if i remember correctly...

Actually, if they were to play again...say...this week, the Dolphins would be favored over Oakland based on how last Sunday went, IMO. The game was not as close as the final score indicated.
 
Power Rankings are entertaining if anything. I'm just shocked that ESPN doesn't have the Pats in the top 10 somehow. :rolleyes:

your not kidding.

im also surprised they havent nominated Bruschi for MVP yet.
 
power ranking are only created to get your goat and create conversation.... Not meant to be a reliable and accurate representation of the NFL. After all... standings do that well enough.

If your theory is that the raiders are ahead of the fins because they would be favored in a matchup this week then how the heck can you say the Bills should be ahead of the phins....arent the phins favored over the Bills this week?

What factors (inputs) do they base their decisions on. Obviously not just the ones you ave stated. It is not like they are way off the mark. It is not like the list is just plain stupidity. Why is everyone, even experts, always stupid. Are you sure they are not mentally ******ed maybe. Perhaps they lied to get the job and actually no nothing more than you do.

its based on my opinion. and i think the bills should be favored over the fins.

it might sound strange, but i could say team A is better than team B. but predict team B pulls out an upset. that doesnt mean team B is better, just that i think all the parts will fall together for that one week.

Part Two of his interview was on today. How many more parts are there?

I'm not trying to belittle his condition, because it's a great story how he survived the stroke. However, come on. He's got three Super Bowl rings and a family to take care of. How much more does he need?
