Stripes Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/powerranking...2006&week=8ESPN moves us up to 7. Sounds good to me. Post other rankings as they come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMC Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 ESPN seems to have it right.We are the second ranked 4-2 team, right between the NYG.We haven't played our best football and have been ravaged by injuries and we are a Top 10 team. Thank you team depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 7 is good IMO and if we can win vs the falcons should move us up even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 http://www.bengalszone.com/power_rankings.phpTalent-wise, the Bengals should be higher, but I'm going to wait and let them prove it to me over the next few weeks. The offense still hasn't clicked into place well enough for them to match their potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted October 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Fair enough, Skyline.I'd have Arizona 32nd now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Fair enough, Skyline.I'd have Arizona 32nd now. You may be right after what we saw last week. Still, there's so much talent on that team, it's hard to believe that they're REALLY worse than the Raiders. Surely they'll come around... Then again, maybe not.

DesperateDerelict Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Did anyone else notice that our schedule includes games against ALL of the top ten teams except da Bears (#1) and da G'ants (#6)? We'll have LOTS of chances to move up 'n' down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekshank Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/story/9751907 I didn't see these mentioned. I think the rankings of the Falcons and Bengals are very telling of how people tend to judge football teams. Unless you have a reputation for having a dominating defense (Ravens, Bears), you are judged primarily on how sexy your offense looked the previous week.He mentions Mike Vick's best game of his career, but says nothing about them giving up 38 points at home.Meanwhile, he says the Bengals don't appear to be clicking, but our defense held the Panthers to 14 points and only 270 yards against a team that scored 23 and racked up over 400 yards on the dominant Ravens defense the previous week?We are what we are... and we've created our own reputation, so when the Bengals have to win with the defense, it causes a lot of eyebrow raising. I get it... and hey, that's kind of how we tend to look at it too. But the Falcons beat a team with only 2 wins, and we beat a good Panthers team on a 4 game win-streak... and somehow they pass us. Why? Because 41-38 is simply more entertaining than 17-14.Oh well. We'll pass them this week after we get our offense in gear against their leaky pass defense.

HoosierCat Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 From the stat freaks at footballoutsiders.com, via foxsports ("they play, we decide?" )...http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6094062The mid-pack ranking seems about right to me -- 13 officially, 16 2006 only, 14 unadjusted. No matter how you break down the numbers the Bengals are an average team, maybe a touch above, right now. Notably, the Falcons are ranked roughly the same. Should be a dogfight next Sunday.
