I know the huddle likes to bitch and moan about being underrated in any and every meaningless power rankings, but I got no problem with this rant. This poo is absolutely ridiculous. What could the Saints possibly have done to warrant being put ahead of not just Carolina but Atlanta also? What are they basing any of this off of, the Saints blowout of the Raiders in the preseason?

I know, most preseasons are meaningless

...yet he has no problem basing his whole power rankings on preseason performance...where do they find these people?

what the hell is a power ranking anyway? as far as i'm concerned, power is determined by your W-L record. it's just another interesting list with "in-depth" comments to take up a page of a magazine and make the public buy it.

they can rank us 528th for all i care... i just want to see 1-0 this time next week.

Ok, so ESPN, SI, Bill Simmons, John Clayton, NFL.com, Mike and Mike, Colin, Football Today, and Vegas are against us. Instead of making a new thread everytime some no-name radio host says he thinks the eagles will win, just post it here. We get it, we're underdogs.

again, I dono why this is so shocking. all the national media see's is the Eagles who were in the championship game vs us and our dreadful playoff game. When most of america only watches u play twice a year and one time is a 5 Int, 1 Fumble, 30 point blowout at home......what do you expect? no suprise. let it go

Good rankings should consider preseason rankings and last season's teams. It seems these rankings did none of that, choosing only to base their rankings on the preseason.

Then again, it's been customary to proclaim the Saints as the best team in the South and a Super Bowl contender. It's not surprising they're doing it again, even after a season in which they went 8-8 with one of the league's best offenses.

OK there

we should ban these reactionary power ranking "no respect" threads

Mr Bull, Never once even mentioned no respect. I just thought we were more of a top 12 than a top 20 team. I really just was pointing out the fact the Saints once again seem to always be a preseason favorite. The ANALYSTS suck a lot of Saint D*CK:D

Forget the Panthers...they have the Saints and Packers ahead of the Colts....I think we should just ban the posting of power rankings altogether....they have no factual basis to them whatsoever

You know after thinking about it, you're right:patriot: I am guilty of posting this. Mods, Please lock.

Well, I saw this thread more as a "woah check out how insanely wrong these power rankings are" thread than a "OMguhd whyy do dey have us so looow?! wwaaahhhhh no respcect" thread.

...whatever though, you can read it however you'd like.

      I am also intrigued by Mohammad. Could be another story. Seems like he has the talent but seems to have had some issues with coaching schemes/changes,  some attitude and work ethic issues? Hopefully his being home can get him focused. Here is what I read ( all second hand to me ) :    1- He has all the skills but was nonexistent under two different coaching staffs. He butted heads and was benched under Jimbo (for wearing sleeves under his uniform after the coaching staff told him not to 🙄). Then under the new staff, he rarely saw the field – he had just 55 yards last season. When he saw the field, he either made the most impressive play of the game or would get an unsportsmanlike penalty. Just a bizarre case because he has the talent.     2 -Aggie here to provide some insight. As the other poster mentioned, Moose had a weird time at A&M and it didn't help that Jimbo's offense was painful and wide receivers never seemed to excel. His third year was promising but he was also competing with Evan Stewart, Noah Thomas, and Chase Lane who I'm pretty sure were all 5*s. Also Ainais Smith and Devon achane ran majority of the offense. That said, going into his last year with Jimbo, a couple guys like Lane and Achane left, and most Ags thought this would be the year Moose really steps up. Unfortunately as the other poster mentions, he disappeared into misconduct and coaching change.

      I'm more impressed with the UDFA that the guys they have drafted in the first the last 2 years. A whole lot of prove it is still needed before any improvement should be talked about seriously.
