ESPN Power(less) Rankings for week 11

He's a total ass. I asked him how he could continue to ignore the second best team in the NFC week after week and he said something about there not being any compelling storylines. Really? You mean a running back tandem that combined for 2,300+ and 28 TDs isn't compelling? Undefeated at home? The absurdly tight NFC South race? Hell, even after the Giants/Panthers game last week, he wrote about Chad Pennington instead of the game between the top two NFC teams.

these rankings are always a joke. Saints at #1? LOL. I guess Colts beating the Pats, and Saints BARELY beating the Rams warrants them a better ranking.. They deserve to be #2, don't get me wrong, but they are playing sloppy ass football these past few weeks, don't they have like 12 turnovers in 3 games?

Broncos shouldn't be in the top 10, Eagles should be a lot lower(near the 20'ish mark, and Carolina and Miami should have moved up a few spots at least.

While that may be true to each and every one of US...I challenge you to goto NFC East, South, West forums and all AFC forums and ask them if they give half a damn about the Panthers. You'll get an almost majority reply of "no". Charlotte is not a major city and it's in the South. He's correct, no one cares. The sooner you accept it, the sooner lack of coverage will insult you.

I don't even have a problem with Saints at No. 1. Yes, they are making a ton of mistakes, but they are winning in spite of them. Not many teams would be able to do that (as evidence by last year's No. 1 offense, 8-8 Saints squad).

I might give the edge to the Colts, but the Saints, I think, might be the more complete team.

    • I could smell this excuse coming. Any starter drafted after the 2nd is a bonus, not an expectation. Oh we need more offensive help because we spent so much on defense. We spent all that because we've barely drafted any defensive starters the last 5 years. The way I see it you'll get a better return on investment in defense than offense currently with this team. We proved that last year with just a modicum of investment in the defense. I'm not the biggest believer in Evero but I trust him more than Bryce.  The biggest factor holding the offense back wears #9. Accuracy is one of his strengths? 23rd in the league while being 30th in Y/A. Someone will claim we get no YAC but 49% of our yards were YAC which is higher than most teams in the league.  Unless he drastically improves you're going to get a bad return on investment. Yes TMac had a great rookie year but it wasn't exactly efficient volume wise. He has one of the worst catch % in the league at just 57%, probably related to that 23rd accuracy ranking.
    • If this team lets the Bucks or Bulls catch them, Charles Lee should be fired immediately and punched in the face by some random fan on the way to his car. 
    • Bucks and Bulls have to try hard to tank and not take our play in spot at this point, still not mathematically eliminated I think but too tired to do the math, too close for comfort either way to close out the regular season in a drought
