Bengals #9 (Down from #7): Let Week 1 serve as a reminder of how good A.J. Green is. He dropped 180 yards against a secondary with Darrelle Revis. Green and the Bengals look to get their revenge against the Steelers this week.
I didn't make it past this one before vomiting. I know, I know...they're only power rankings and they are designed to get page hits, blah, blah, blah...
BUT, are you F(&$@) kidding me?
The Packers are at #1 after edging the Jags on the road? The Jags, who average 4-5 wins a year.
The Cards are at 4th, after losing to a backup QB, at home.
The Texans are at 7??? (This was where I lost my lunch).
The Bengals who overcame not having their #2 offensive weapon, 9/11 in New York (NJ), 90+ degree heat in black jerseys DROPPED two slots? Oh, ESPN, your lack of understanding of football is astounding.
After the Bengals beat pissburg Sunday, expect the Bengals to drop to 10, and the steelers climb to #1 because they nearly held off a motivated Bengals team looking for revenge after last year's arse-raping. The steelers were amazing how they kept trying after the Bengals kept beating the shit out of them. What a team, what a tradition. Puke.
