In their most recent rankings, ESPN has the Bengals #5 behind the CARDINALS!

Yes, that's right, the same Cardinals who have lost two games. One to the ultimately subpar St. Louis Rams, and the other to the Pittsburgh Steelers and their 3rd string QB.

Furthermore, the Broncos are ahead in the rankings as well. A team who is saved by their defense every week. A team who wins by the skin of their teeth on a weekly basis.

Disgusting.

They are not ranking the W-l column. They are ranking the team strength. I see no problem. Our defense still needs work. We need a d e fense that doesnt let us get down 17pts by thr 4th qtr, regardless if we have the offense to fight back and win the game.
