don't get this ... anyway these are all hogwash. its superbowl or bust baby...

Re: WEEK 2 ESPN Power rankings (Pats at 2)
 

atleast this guy ranked the lions at 5

he makes a nice observation as to how pats and green bay are near the bottom when it comes to yards given up per game

Patriots homers should not say this, but I thought the Jets looked very good last week.. their D, seems even better than last year. Sanchez has more weapons...

Should be a battle in two weeks..

I watched that full game if not for that Jags QB throwing the ball right at the jets players the game would of been closer...

Re: WEEK 2 ESPN Power rankings (Pats at 2)
 

The Jets look very good and are extremely confident. Can we give Brady time to throw?

No Hernandez and no Mangold.

Re: WEEK 2 ESPN Power rankings (Pats at 2)
 

I bet mangold will play

And yet you did. :mad:

Power rankings are an epic fail for 2 reasons:

1) Too much carryover from previous years. If you knew nothing about what happened prior to this season, you'd probably have to put the Lions in the top 3 (if not the overall top spot). But since they are historically so poor, they get downgraded more than they deserve.

2) WAY too much emphasis on the most recent game. Chicago and Atlanta are both 1-1. Chicago whupped Atlanta big time. But since their most recent games were a Chicago loss and Atlanta win, Atlanta goes higher in the rankings.

Power rankings are a pathetic joke. But what's even more pathetic is that in college football, power rankings decide the national championship. Thankfully we don't suffer that in the NFL.

Homers can have an opinion.. the Jets looked good, to say they looked bad would be a lie.. Sanchez still makes poor decisions, but has more weapons to make bad decisions with.. and their D looks really good. Should be an interesting opponent.

It is what it is..
