About right at this point in the season. Colts and possibly the Bears will be exposed as the season goes on.

Yes they are fair for now...........

Cool!!! Thanks for the information!

They look about right to me.

ironwasp · Oct 24, 2006

It looks pretty fair to me. Until the Colts or Bears lose they have the right to the one and two slots, and the Broncos, Pats at 3 and 4 looks right with the Saints and Giants right behind.

Makes me think that the 14-1 odds that London bookmakers are offering on the Broncos is pretty generous price given the Bears are 4/1, Colts 11/2 and Pats 9/1.

Pats decent value too as are Giants at 16/1 and the Saints at 37/1.

#4- no better, no worse at this point. If we can win our next 2 and Denver loses to either Indy/Pitt, we'll have a legitimate claim to #1 (though Chicago will still be defeated in a couple of weeks).

I would say this is fair at this point. I still think we have not proved enough and will finally get put to the test these next couple weeks. I am a bit concerned about Seymour even though I think Green will do a fine job as a replacement. I would also like to add that I think Chad Jackson is the vital piece to our offense as he can stretch the D, has speed, and will soon free up Watson once other teams realize his ability.

The ranking may be fine as far as the Patriots are concerned, but do we really believe the Saints are the fifth best team in the NFL?

And if the Donkeys lose to the Colts, the Pats could move up to number 3. Oh, joy!

soxpatsbscs · Oct 24, 2006

I would say no, but they have a solid record and that may due to the less-than-killer instinct the other teams have had playing in the Superdome. I think Brees is a solid QB though and their D has surprised me, but I think they will eventually fall off.

#4 is a good spot for us. Unbeaten teams should always be higher, and Broncos should be above us because of our loss. I do think the Saints is at a good place at #5. Drew, Deuce and Reggie are doing good things down there.

Here's hoping Indy beat Denver and we beat Indy

I don't understand how Chicago is at number one after the Arizona debacle.... Well, I guess I do understand. I just don't agree.

PatsFanInVa · Oct 24, 2006

I dunno about the Gintz... their comment is "if they can keep getting pressure on the quarterback." Um, didn't they just get injuries to Umenyiora and Strahan? Or is this my faulty memory? I know Arrington went down.

4 is fine but lets not let them back on our bandwagon. How many weeks did we hear how we were not going to make it because of losing Adam, Willie, and Deion? And we had not receivers for Tom to throw to.

AStack75 · Oct 24, 2006

Why do people give two s--ts about power rankings? Everyone talks about them like they are the NFL's BCS standings.

I think its too late. The national media has officially jumped on board. Some of them are back on the Colts, too.

The Dolphins have had some down years, but this has to be as bad as things have ever been in South Florida.

Mmmm, I love it.
