Power Rankings

ESPN has 'em in.... when the other's come in, stick 'em here.

[HairOnFire]

I doubt it will become a trend, but on Monday Morning QB Mike Ditka moved the Bengals up from 4th to 3rd after the loss to the Colts....explaining that any team that can score 37 points on the best team in football doesn't deserve to be moved down.

Apparently Ditka played too many games without a helmet.

ditka is the man...but he's a republican

Ditka has been choking down way too many sausages- any team that loses should move down

[bengalindian]

The Bengals deserve to be moved down. But they slaughtered the so-called amazing Bears D and the Giants have lost to a couple crappy teams. I mean, I'm one to not care about rankings, but sometimes these people show just how much they don't know.

And why isn't anyone freaking out about how bad the Colts D was? Prisco mentions that the Bengals will get in a lot of shootouts if the D doesn't improve. That was the first one of the year, Petey boy. I personally think the Bengals are about a 9 right now, but all these writers keep contradicting themselves. They'll see. The Bengals will show 'em.

I really do not mind where they ranked us but having the bears ahead of us and ranked 7th? We embarassed the bears. Granted it was in Orton's first couple games but he still had 5 picks for God sakes. If we played again maybe he would only have 3 ints. but we would still put a beating on them.

I agree 100 percent.

I know we still haven't beaten an elite team, but if we play the way we played this week the rest of the season, we won't lose again. No other quarterback can make all those perfect throws against us. I can't honestly see us dropping lower than sixth. To put Seattle and Chicago ahead of us is crazy!!!

[Stripes]

I think Seattle deserves to be ahead of us, and I even agree with them being at #3. For being 8-2 and having such big offense, they are sure flying under the radar. I think with Sunday's performance (the D was screwed before kickoff), we deserve a top 5 spot. I think it should look like this:

1.) Colts

2.) Broncos

3.) Seahawks

4.) Steelers (with Big Ben)

5.) Bengals

the ridiculous s**t about Prisco's was that the Panthers put up 3 points on the Bears and dropped from 6 to 9. We dropped from 5 to 11. and why would getting in a shootout with Indy lead to shootouts the rest of the year? there weren't shootouts all year so far, and we don't play again in the regular season, what would lead him to think that? He's just bitter about his July 2002 article about us going to the Super Bowl.
