Power Rankings (Week 2) [MERGED]

[BandWagon]

God, the media is unbelievable. The door is shut on my bandwagon people....no media types welcome. Check out what ESPN said; "So, apparently there was a pretty good reason the Redskins wanted to trade for Santana Moss."

DUH!

[The Iceman]

I don't really like the fact that we moved up so high, I like being the underdog. It makes it a lot easier to bet on the skins on saturdays when I have a point spread giving them 6.

All jokes aside, the skins are playing well on D. The media is finally noticing. Lest just hope the offense starts noticing and gives a little back. I know they put up numbers in the last 4 minutes of the game monday, but 14 points still isn't enough to get us by this year. We need to start puting up some points.

[Redskin-4-life]

Lets hope we continue to climb.

(Sept. 20, 2005) -- This is how the NFL's 32 teams stack up after Week 2:
IN THE HUNT

(Teams likely to be among 12 playoff qualifiers -- listed with record and previous week's ranking)

1. Pittsburgh (2-0; 3): Two games, two dominant victories, but the toughest test to date comes vs. the Patriots.

2. Indianapolis (2-0; unchanged): Could it be that the Colts have actually become a defensive-oriented team?

3. Tampa Bay (2-0; 7): The Bucs keep riding in style with their Cadillac and a dominant defense.

4. Kansas City (2-0; 5): Winning in Oakland made a huge statement … and the reward is a Monday night in Denver.

5. Philadelphia (1-1; 10): Donovan McNabb is too busy throwing touchdowns to worry about his sore chest or any sore feelings he might have toward his favorite receiver.

6. Cincinnati (2-0; unranked): You can't help but respect what this team can do on both sides of the ball.

7. N.Y. Giants (2-0; 11): It hasn't been pretty, but the Giants have two wins by convincing margins.

8. Washington (2-0; unranked): Maybe Mark Brunell is the instant spark Joe Gibbs thought he would be.

9. Carolina (1-1; unranked): The Panthers showed plenty by bouncing back from a heart-breaking opener and playing strong defense without Kris Jenkins.

10. New England (1-1; 1): After being manhandled in Carolina, the Pats have the daunting task of trying to rebound in Pittsburgh.

11. Atlanta (1-1; 4): With Michael Vick hurting, the Falcons defense is capable of picking up the slack.

12. Dallas (1-1; 8): The Cowboys are still wondering how they blew that game to Washington.

It's top third of the league. It's higher than I would have us. We are still not exactly an offensive powerhouse. We need to show that we can score 21 points in a game.

Your absolutely right about this, but try and look at it from this perspective. We had a offense that wasn't scoring hardly at all, even from last year. But we managed to put up 14 points in about 71 seconds. That has definitely got to be a sign of improvement. We just need to build off of that. Brunell will have some time to adjust and get comfortbale during the bye week. We need a big win back at home on the 2nd of OCT.

Unfreakin' believeable. But I still don't think we've earned respect yet. We'll see what happens after we come off of the bye week. We should get Lavar back even healthier and Clark should be starting by then too. So our defense could even get better. Scary thought! Plus this gives Brunell some more time to work w/his receivers. That's something we sorely need in order to be successful. Cutting down on silly mistakes is a must as well. But at least for now the media might be taking notice. Quite frankly I don't care as long as we get the W.

Sorry :P

Anyone else notice that every single team in the NFC East is ranked in the top twelve?

[IowaSkinsFan]

Detroit should be right there with GB and Minny, IMO.
