Were #5 in ESPN's current preseason power rankings

I'm not going to lie this kinda ticks me off but I shouldn't be surprised as the media loves to hate on the Panthers. I find the Cardinals at number 2 just comical, I would love to meet them again in the playoffs so our defense can feast on Palmer again.

I was expecting their reasoning to have us at 5 would have something to do with Norman leaving, but no, this is their great analysis:

The Panthers have a tough act to follow, after they won 15 games last season, but no team in NFL history has ever followed a 15-win season with anything less than a 10-win season.

I need to do a lot better job at not letting this stuff bother me, but it is frustrating. The media never learns.

Yeah, don't let it bother you.  A little bit of it is media bias, but it's mostly due to our secondary.  Can't really blame them for knocking us down a few slots, when we lost an all-pro corner, and are going to start rookies on the outside.  Mostly unproven secondary all around.

The Seahawks were forced to re-sign Tony McDaniel this week, who, like Browner, was good for them three years ago.  Repeat, three years ago.  Probably a sign that Reed and/or Hill aren't ready to be what they hoped at this point.  Losing Mebane and Irvin are huge. Alex Smith and Co. went through that D like a hot knife through butter.

It is ESPN.  These are the same hard hitting journos who stated last month Trai Turner was underrated because he didnt make the Pro Bowl last year.....not to mention they keep that blustery jizzwhistle Kevin Neghandi employed.

So consider the source, and just let it go, it is not worth getting upset about.

    • Damn back to 10th. I only caught the last 5 minutes but some of those 3's were horrible lol. In that close of game you can't be launching those many hail mary's when you could be chipping away from the foul line. I guess no one wanted to get in the paint and didn't trust the refs to give them the calls maybe? Gonna watch the highlights to get a better idea of the flow of the game
    • I agree.  The Big 12 is a good conference, and he is the swinging dick in that conference.  If Bill Self retires, that sets Kansas back a bit, and Arizona moves even further ahead as the best team in that conference.  Arizona can crush west coast recruiting with USC / UCLA no longer being relevant for LA kids, and Gonzaga not being able to compete moneywise.   If Lloyd comes here, he will be second fiddle to Duke every single year in NIL and recruits.  Not to mention the entire SEC and Big East for kids who want to stay in those regions to play. This is why I keep saying go get Mark Few.  Has proven he can do more with less from an X / O perspective but can also recruit All American players and compete at a high level. He's a god at Gonzaga, but for $9M he'd make the move as that's 4x what he's making at Gonzaga, and makes him the highest paid coach in the country. 
    • Certainly not going to miss his constant whiffs on sacks and tackles.
