BengalBobNC Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 ESPN Power RankingsESPN has us at 18. With another big nod in favor of Carson. Quote
skyline Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 I love ESPN's comment about Bettis Quote
85inthehall Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 how are the jets that low? amazingpalmer is the real deal -- it's nice to have a qb of the future playing now Quote
Kirkendall Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 Just wait until BengalsZone releases its rankings.. Quote
BengalBobNC Posted September 15, 2004 Report Posted September 15, 2004 CBS Sportsline's power rankings have us at #20. Nice write up, but they say we are still a year away. Quite possible. To look at it another way two years ago we looked like we were 20 years away! Now we are not just knocking on the door...we are trying to bust it down.CBS Power Rankings Quote
HoosierCat Posted September 15, 2004 Report Posted September 15, 2004 how are the jets that low? amazing Given that they have a worse defense than us the question is, how are they that high?http://www.nfl.com/news/story/7683744 Quote
jditty47 Posted September 15, 2004 Report Posted September 15, 2004 um we showed an alot worse defense than them in week 1. They at least caused a turnover and stopped rudi, what our defense stop? Quote
kevnz Posted September 15, 2004 Report Posted September 15, 2004 Given that they have a worse defense than us the question is, how are they that high?http://www.nfl.com/news/story/7683744 I actually like the Aikman Efficiency Ratings.Cause it is based on more than just total yards...It's based on total performance. And the scary thing is, as bad as our defense was, others were worse. Quote
jditty47 Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 denver should be lower than 3 and chiefs should be higher than 14 in my book. chiefs should be top 10 and will prove it this week IMHO. no reason to drop a team that low after losing a division game on the road this early. Quote
BengalBobNC Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 Bengals ranked 16 is about right. Ravens, who got spanked in Cleveland, ranked 13??? Bengals lose a nail biter by 7 and are ranking 3 below the Ravens who lost by 17?Hmmmm. I know we gave up a lot of yards on the ground....but.... Quote
Kirkendall Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 It's only the first week, wait for the season to pan out a little more and see the method of our madness... But keep in mind, these aren't intial starting points.. you have to go pre-season expectations and overall season long expectations and rate per week based off team performances. If we did well this team beat that team and that team beat this team, this thing would look too confusing.. because after you link all the games and teams, then everyone could be justified for any position.

Just like last year when the Patriots got stomped on opening day. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt when it comes to power rankings.If they keep stinking it up, then I'll take great pleasure in dropping them to the bottom Quote

HoosierCat Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 Pretty good rankings, guys. Quote
kevnz Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 Did you hear Kyle Boller can throw it 50 yards from his knees? If the entire NFL played on their knees, the Ravens offense may start to look pretty good.I loved that. Quote

Even though we ranked them ahead of the Bengals, I couldn't pass up the chance to slam them when confronted with such a perfect opportunity Quote
