Maxman Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 1. New York Jets The Jets need to develop a killer instinct on offense. Settling for field goals let the Vikings have a final possession for the win when they never should have been close. 2. Pittsburgh Steelers Big Ben will debut for the Steelers at home against the Browns. That’s not a bad way to get your season underway. This is probably the last unbeaten team in the league if he were starting when the rest of the league did. 3. Atlanta Falcons The Falcons have stepped forward as the NFC’s best team. They may have just stood still while the rest of the conference took a big step backward, but it looks the same. 4. Baltimore Ravens A trip to New England isn’t as daunting as it once was. The Ravens are very capable of winning on Sunday and probably should if they deserve this spot in the rankings. 5. New England Patriots Sources are confirming that Deion Branch is not Randy Moss. I’m not sure what the thought process is currently in New England. 6. Indianapolis Colts It wasn’t the most convincing win the Colts have ever had, but it was a win over a previously unbeaten team. The Colts and Saints both fall into the same category after five weeks: teams that need “something”. 7. New York Giants The Giants quickly went from the bottom of the division to the top in terms of power rating. This week they get a scrimmage at home against the Lions. They face Dallas twice over the following four weeks and will have a chance to effectively end the Cowboy’s season. 8. Chicago Bears If you have to play without your quarterback, it’s best to do so against the Panthers. 9. Washington Redskins The ‘Skins have wins against Dallas, Philadelphia, and Green Bay, and a loss against the Rams. It makes perfect sense in this season’s version of the NFC. 10. Philadelphia Eagles The Birds three wins have come against Detroit, Jacksonville, and San Francisco. They get the chance to beat a varsity team this week against the Falcons.

Irish Jet Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 But they lost to the bungles. And the Jets and the Steelers lost to them. I don't care who they lost to, the Bengals actually have talent and always play tough in the division, the Ravens have to be #1 simply down to the fact that they have beaten the two teams that would challenge them for it.

I think the Ravens should be #1 this week too, but losing to the bengals does hurt them. Both the Jets and the Steelers lost to 1 loss teams, the Ravens lost to a 2 loss team, not to mention that the Jets beat themselves against the Ravens, and the steelers had a 3rd string QB against them.

Maxman Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 Why does Nick hate the Ravens? They are #1. No question. I actually agree with that. But I am not complaining. Hasselsuck was on ESPN Radio and he said the Steelers were # 1. I was thinking how pissed I would be if I were a Ravens fan. They beat the Jets and the Steelers and lost a division game. Not sure how they are lower... I guess it is because everyone knows the Jets are going to win the Super Bowl. So they just want to get ahead of the curve.

RutgersJetFan Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 They beat us by 1 point. 1 measly point with the time possession being more lopsided than a chimp attack victim's face, weeks before the offense caught a rhythm. It's really a lot closer than most want to admit. You can't go wrong with us, Pittsburgh, or Baltimore at the top. Atlanta being ahead of any of them is insane. They're not even the best team in the NFC right now and they're sure as sh*t not better than any of the top AFC teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryK Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 And the Jets and the Steelers lost to them. I'd argue that Shottenheimer lost to the Ravens. The Jets are so good they almost beat the Ravens in spite of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt that if we played the Ravens again we would beat them. Still can't put us ahead of them IMO. I actually fully expect New England to beat them this week.

ECURB Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Ravens are #1 JETS are #2 Steelers are #3 According to the text in these rankings those the Steelers should be #1, he basically says they should be the only unbeaten team and therefore #1.

JustInFudge Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Why does Nick hate the Ravens? They are #1. No question. Even though I think if we replayed that first game, we'd have beat them because we opened up the offense since then, I have to agree. There is no way you can have the Ravens ranked lower than 2 teams they beat in the Jets and Steelers, on the road, when they have the same record.

I actually fully expect New England to beat them this week. Really? I don't see that at all, but Vegas agrees with you. We'll see. Power Ramkings are really just opinion, so imagining who would beat who today is really what it's supposed to be about, no? With that in mind, I'd have the Steelers first, Jets second, and Ravens third. Steelers will be scary with Roethlisberger back, and are more complete than the Jets right now. But the Jets should've beaten the Ravens on opening night, and I believe they're better than them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the Jets and Ravens have the exact same 4-1 records and the Ravens beat the Jets head-to-head. Hopefully, you don't have a vote on the BCS committee.

I watched an NFL video that called the Ravens the most complete team and Ravens and Jets where honorable mentions. I think any of those three teams get hot and could take it all.

Coming on a Jet's message board and asking why most people have the Jet's ranked higher than they should be is just like coming to my house for dinner and wondering why you leave hungry and possibly missing a couple fingers.
