Complete and utter joke, but that's ESPN for you. Really don't understand their boner for the Cardinals.

Also, not that I love to defend our rivals, but uh... Eagles over Steelers? ***** hilarious.

Just saw this a minute ago.

Interesting/dumb how the Cardinals went up 2 spots after getting beat by a team with Landry Jones at QB, leaving 2 undefeated teams behind them somehow.

The Panthers and Bengals have absolutely been more impressive than Arizona over the past few weeks and neither team has lost yet, no reason for the Cards to be ahead.

I usually don't pay much attention to power rankings but this list is embarassing for whoever wrote it

[Sovereign Nation]

That was one of my favorites.

The comments about the Eagles moving up after last night's game are funny as well.

Thanks for doing that for me

Lol. Na. It's ESPN. If the Bengals lose to anybody, at any point at all this season, they'll instantly fall 15 spots.

[Brandon00151]

What a joke. Now Im glad I didn't play their pick em this year.

[GodHatesBengals]

Quote:The 5-0 Patriots have scored 183 points (36.6 PPG) this season. In 2007, they scored 182 points through their first five games.

Anybody else getting really tired of ESPN trying this hard to sell the "Patriots are going undefeated again" narrative? They can find whatever stats to try to justify it all they want; anybody who's watched the Patriots this year can plainly see they are not as good as they were that year.

[Mike M (the other one)]

I don't see how they can list both the Broncos and Cards in front of us and Carolina and Atlanta.
Bronco's are barely winning, and Cards have already dropped 2....

[WiscoFan]

Broncos are still above us?

[GodHatesBengals]

Oh, and finally, the Broncos are not playing better than the Bengals, and it's arguable that the Packers aren't, either.

Alright, I'm done. Back to completely ignoring and instinctively disregarding anything ESPN says.

[djs7685]

1. Patriots
2. Packers
3. Bengals
4. Panthers
5. Broncos (I barely like them this high with the way the offense is playing. Their defense can't play like this all season.)
6. Falcons
7. Cardinals
8. Jets
9. Steelers
10. Bills (criminally low on these rankings if you consider that 2 of their 3 losses are to undefeated teams)

I could see something like that being a more reasonable top 10. Bills, Steelers, Jets, Cardinals, and Falcons could all be moved around a bit, but I think those are definitely the 10 best teams in the NFL as of right now.

Not sure what is up with ESPN. Either way we'd beat Zona and Denver. No reason for Zona to still be ranked so high after not being able to beat a 3rd string qb.

[TSwigZ]

Here's a link to why we should be higher..

Cards have beaten teams with a combined record of 7-17. They lose last week and are ranked ahead of us. That's how little respect ESPN has for the Bengals.

Or the Panthers. Or the Falcons. There are at least 3 teams that definitely deserve to be higher as of right now.
