Power Rankings: Week 3

[SirDrums]

Here they are, the Power Rankings for week 3. Enjoy :D

The Drum Roll:
I’m glad I post these on Thursdays. Monday wouldn’t have been a good day for me to open my mouth. Not much arguing with the hit we took in the rankings. Now let’s put the loss behind us and head back up the ladder starting with a win against the Titans. I still feel like this team has a lot of talent and the ability to rise above these losses. They did it last year. I'm confident they can do it again.


Later and GO FINS!!!!! :D

Dolphins Rank: 21 (-5)

Comment: This is the team that was supposed to challenge the Pats in the AFC East and make a run at the Super Bowl?

Dolphins Rank: 21 (-2)

Comment: Can we cool the Super Bowl talk now? How about just winning a game? The offense has to get untracked or it will be a long, disappointing season.

Dolphins Rank: 24 (-9)

Comment: Daunte Culpepper was sacked five times in his first fifteen snaps on Sunday. After two less-than-dazzling performances out of the former Viking, there’s a bit of a whisper about Joey Harrington coming from Miami this week. If Culpepper continues this blooper reel worthy of a start, that whisper could become a shout. And yes, we’re talking about THAT Joey Harrington. As for plans of another Times Square billboard featuring him - let's hold off on that for now.

Dolphins Rank: 24 (-5)

Comment: Ah, the irony of it. Now they're calling for Joey Harrington to replace Daunte Culpepper, and after all Joey'd been through in Detroit. What do I think of the idea? Well, something's got to be done. Daunte's game has disappeared. He needs to sit and watch for a while, then make a re-entry in the second act.

Comment: Daunte Culpepper is proving the concerns about his game before the injury last year are warranted.

Great Post Drums.

Any ranking for us above 28th are silly. We haven't played well enough.

"blooper reel worthy" probably the best summation of how Daunte has played I have read so far.

Oh see thats where you're wrong, according to Bill fans they spanked us silly, not that we shot ourselves in the foot more often then not, they think that we were playing lights out....till we faced them, then they just stuck it to us!!

Hmmm, sorry I don't agree, we have done nothing special in either games this year. I think till Daunte can get comfortable and confident our O will struggle. When the O struggles it effects the D, they play more then they should and when the O is having problems it effects the confidence of every player on the team O,D and ST!!! The other units still play well, but the effect of one unit struggling effects all the units.

Still crying and no ones paying attention to your tears. Sorry FTP, it's seems like majority of the finfans here are not sore losers like you. You know the saying "losers are full of excuses".

Dude, the Dolphins outgained the Bills in yardage easily. The Dolphins are horrible man, the Bills aren't that good. Until Daunte and the offensive line play better, it's going to be the same story against decent (the Bills are decent) or better teams.

Stats are for losers. Just look at Daunte's stats then watch the game again to see how awful he was in key times to get an idea .
