For the curious, the teams that ESPN has ranked behind us are the Texans and the Falcons.

I think the Texans and Falcons could beat us. 

[Mr. Scot]

Pro Football network has chimed in...

Their analysis:

Matt Rhule might survive another few weeks, but there’s a good chance this team is 0-7 when they meet Atlanta in Week 8. With games against the Saints, Cardinals, 49ers, Rams, and Buccaneers in consecutive weeks, it would take the James Webb Space Telescope to see where they can notch a win.

The offense was never going to be outstanding, but it’s been non-existent in the first two weeks of the season. Rhule fired Joe Brady before the end of Year 2, hiring Ben McAdoo as his replacement. In an age of offensive innovation, this never felt like a step in that direction.

Falcons have also lost 2 games by a combined 5 points like the Panthers, the difference being I think they've lost to two better opponents than the Panthers have. Saints with Jameis are better than Cleveland (or at the very least, on par) and they came back from a 28-3 deficit against the defending SB champs on the road and got close to the red zone before Mariota threw a game sealing pick. The Panthers meanwhile couldn't handle an anemic/garbage Giants team on the road.

Spoiler alert:  This is a bottom half of the league roster

Still I felt the 2001 and 2010 teams had a lot less talent

To be fair I drank those teams out of my memory

Haha

I think the 2001 team had an ok defense, I can’t remember if that was Walls last season or not

David Tepper cares about one thing and one thing only guys. Winning. Don't let the media, team record, performances of the team, tell you otherwise.

Don't know if these count, but...

Surely we can beat Nebraska, right?
