BengalszoneBilly Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 This came out back in Feburary after the Super Bowl and before the draft/free agency moves, but I must have missed it:>>>>>>>>>Jeff Sagarin NFL ratings<<<<<<<<< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalboy40 Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 pretty sweet to see cincy in there...noticed, too, that of the top 12 teams in that ratings system, only ONE is from the nfc (eagles)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turningpoint Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 I'd take em with a grain of salt when they have the browns 20th and the rams and saints rated lower.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesterLyles Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 unbelievable that the AFC is that much better than the NFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted May 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 unbelievable that the AFC is that much better than the NFC. Wasn't it just about 10 years ago or so that it was the other way around, and the AFC was viewed from top to bottom as the weak sister??

BengalszoneBilly Posted May 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 I'd take em with a grain of salt when they have the browns 20th and the rams and saints rated lower.. This came out before their "soldier" wounded himself in action on the motorcycle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDDFC Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Sagarin's ratings are all math. The fact that Da Solja is injuried won't make them go down. The fact that they are going to get whipped week after week this year will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshfan Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Sagerin ratings may work for collage but not pros... As stated above it doesnt take into account injuries, draft , aging players etc..... I dont think the bengals would be something like 16 point underdogs if they were to play NE in NE.... Ratings are what writers make up with their free time.. Its what a team's record is and if its good enough to get into the playoffs. Thats ALL that matters in the nfl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDDFC Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Why would it take into account injuries or draft?It is the final for last year. His math makes us the 9th best team in '04. It means nothing for '05. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted May 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Sagarin's ratings are all math. What professional NFL ratings system is there that doesn't use some sort of mathmatical calculation in it's results? Everything breaks down mathmatically, right on down to our very Deoxyribonucleic Acid, more commonly referred to as DNA! (Now there's something you wouldn't have quoted me saying in high school!) Matter of fact, if you pile it up in the right order and amount, you can name it "Carson", hang a striped #9 Bengals jersey on it, and have it throw footballs to your other piles of DNA on Sundays in the fall! His math makes us the 9th best team in '04. It means nothing for '05. Possibly, but like I said in the 1st post, this came out before all of the draft/free agency moves.
