Week 2 power rankings coming out.. We've moved up to #

there are 15 other teams that won this week, I doubt we're deserving of a top 10 ranking atm. give it a could weeks (well game 6 of the season...) then i'll really pay attention.

if the rankings are based strictly on week 1 you deserve a top 10 spot. Not many teams played better than Miami this week.
 
Agreed 100%. Does Washington even run read option anymore? They may as well trade away RG3 if they think they're going to make him a pure pocket passer.

I'm 100% dead serious when I say that I think all 3 of those teams need to explore other quarterback options this off-season.

I know that the Giants probably can't deal Eli because he won them two freaking Super Bowls, but he's not earning his contract right now and that team is a hot mess. They need to rebuild from the ground up and start over fresh, IMO.

Tony Romo is just shot. It's possible he's going to pull a Philip Rivers and come back very strong in a year or two, but right now? Woof.

Griffin blows.
 
If we come out and romp the Bills like we did the Pats I think that a ranking between 6 and 10 is pretty accurate. If we lose to them in a close game 10-15 is pretty accurate and if we get stomped out by them like we did last year it will show everyone that week 1 was an aberration and we deserve to be somewhere between 20 and 30. As happy as I am that we beat the Pats it means nothing to me if we lose to the Bills this week. They owned us last year and eliminated us from the playoffs. I still feel that kick in the nuts and if our players can't step up and serve them some payback then I'm pretty certain we will be the same hot and cold team we have been the past 2 seasons. Playoff teams must show consistency. That is the key component that this team has been lacking for the past decade. If you want to make the playoffs especially coming out of the AFC East it is vital that you show up to play week after week, beat the teams you should beat, and play your ass off against teams that are better and give yourself a chance to pull out an upset in the end. This will be a very telling week for our 2014 Dolphins. The thing that has me excited is that we managed to not only beat but handily beat the Pats without T-Hill having a good game. He didn't play horrible but I wouldn't call it a good game by any stretch (And I am a huge Tannehill fan). If he shows up to play this week and hits on half of the passes he missed last week and we get 150 yards combined out of our 2 backs we should be in good shape. Time to bring Mr. Motivational speaker EJ Manuel back to reality and send him back to his van down by the river.
 
Vegas has us favored over the Bills in the early line.

Pretty sure we were favored in both games last year.
 
Dolphins jump to #9 on NFL power rankings

Moved up nine spots from the preseason ranking.

DOLPHINS 9
Impressive, impressive, impressive -- on so many fronts Sunday. Like the defensive front, which got pressure on the Patriots without having to blitz in key situations. Or the offensive front, which protected Ryan Tannehill time and again. Oh, and then there was the fact that Knowshon Moreno rushed for 134 yards on just 24 carries, while Lamar Miller added 59 more on a mere 11 totes. Everything in football starts up front -- I know you've never heard that before.

Merging this over to the other power rankings thread that I didn't see. Maybe we can keep them all in one place.
 
I believe what we are seeing here is a guy just playing the numbers not watching the games. The teams he had ranked before the season determined who dropped where after last week. So in our case we beat a top 5 team and were ranked top 15 so we jumped to a top 10 and the Pats slid in behind us which they should. In other cases if a top team lost to a lowly ranked team then that top ranked team always slid behind the team it just lost to and that lowly ranked team only moved so high because of his preseason ranking. Just a numbers game.
 
Woof - 7? I love the Fins but there is no 7 earned. 14-16 is fair now. I think we're better but time will tell
 
Can someone please explain to me what is the point of power rankings? Is this college football?

To keep busy between Monday night and Thursday night. The NFL is great at engaging fans
 
said it before, say it again...rankings are so stupid.
