Fitzpatrick has had a good start to the season. I wouldn't consider him "legit" yet, but he is definetely the best performing QB this season out of all opposing QBs so far.Terry_Tate;946535 wrote:The only good qb the Bengals have faced is Ryan Fitzpatrick and they held him in check. You could add Alex Smith since he's having a good year but that's really pushing it. Other than that its McCoy, Painter, Orton, and Gabbert. And this week its Charlie Whitehurst or Tavaris Jackson. Don't think a team has played worst qbs than that.
I guess we will see after they play each other this week.Pick6;946800 wrote:Cowboys should be higher than 20. Have had one of the toughest schedules thus far. They have definitely competed with the top teams. Oh yea, and they gave the #3 team, 49ers, their only loss this season.
The eagles being above them is laughable.
Yeah. Pittsburgh had Schaub...but Andre Johnson got hurt partway through the second quarter. And Schaub minus Johnson isn't the same as Schaub with him as a target.bigdaddy2003;946523 wrote:I can agree with the list.
I believe no is the correct answer to your AFC North question about any of the teams playing a legit QB. The closest would be Schaub. I do however believe the 4 defenses in the division will remain highly ranked. Not sure where they will end up but I believe Baltimore will stay in the top 1-3 if they continue to play like they are now.
They should be where the titans are, which is the highest rated 3-3 team. Who cares who they have played, they didn't winPick6;946800 wrote:Cowboys should be higher than 20.

Bengals are a little high. I know they are 6-2 but the teams they have played are a combined 19-38. I guess we will see the 2 weeks with them.bigdaddy2003;963712 wrote:Here are the power rankings as seen through the eyes of 9 NFL.com and NFL Network analysts.

You really think the Bengals are better than the Ravens?Terry_Tate;963885 wrote:I'd put the Lions ahead of the Saints for sure. Probably put the Patriots 8th, Bengals 9th, Texans 10th, Bears 11th, Jets 12th. Joe Flacco alone doesn't let me think the Ravens are 2nd, so I'd probably have the 49ers and Lions ahead of them. I think the Bengals are better than the Ravens with how they match up but I just can't put Cincinnati in the top 3.
I don't think they are, but that bad loss probably does give a justification in a power rankings poll.bigdaddy2003;964118 wrote:You really think the Bengals are better than the Ravens?
I don't. The bengals have confidence now, so we will see, but I just don't see them being better.bigdaddy2003;964118 wrote:You really think the Bengals are better than the Ravens?
Are you referring to the Ravens losing to Jacksonville?wes_mantooth;964131 wrote:I don't think they are, but that bad loss probably does give a justification in a power rankings poll.
