Panthers at 24, Philly at 21. I believe the Panthers would beat the pants off the Eagles. The Eagles aren't playing as a team at this point in the season.

I believe until we start winning, we have no reason to be moving anywhere but down, not up.

true, but i can't see any reason what-so-ever why anyone would rank the Eagles higher than the Panthers.

we stayed at 23 on nfl.com iggles at 21.

Ron Rivera said last week that his team needed to "grow up," after a tough loss to the Bears. Well, it didn't get any easier for the rookie head coach, who had to sit through yet another fail. Panthers fans were tortured by a final Saints drive that chewed 6 minutes of game clock and saw Drew Brees go 8 of 9 for 80 yards. Still, Carolina continues to impress league observers.

Eagles have more talent right now...and the NFCE teams always will get a bump

[Kettle]

its mostly because our division was so good, and also because we play the entire nfc north.

PFT has us ranked 1 spot ahead of the eagles.

[BeasonBeastingBacks]

PFT has us at 21

21. Panthers (No. 20; 1-4): This team should change its nickname to the Horseshoes or the Hand Grenades.

and this what they said about the aints

2. Saints (No. 2; 4-1): Who does Roman Harper think he is, Ken Lucas?

If this had been my power rankings, I would have put us at around 20. Not significantly better, but higher than a few of those teams.

How did we get the "hardest" schedule in the league anyway? Were we not the worst team last year?

The schedule for every year is predetermined years in advance with an exception of two games. We play in a tough division already and it was our year to play the NFC North.

Schedules are pretty much already written in stone before a prior season finishes. Being the worst team isn't really factored in to your schedule.

You play your division twice and the league rotates other divisions you play against on a set schedule.....

3 answers to the one question. chris999 should understand now.

LOL at pft comment on the saints. :rofl:

[PLO MOE]

We're playing at a way higher level than those chumps

[Mean Eyed Cat]

I thought we would face four bottom dwellers this season, instead of two.

oh well, thx guys.

There are 4....The Cardinals, Vikings, Redskins, and Titans were all bottom dwellers last year.

[X-Clown]

yea, I knew that, but i also knew that we are also suppossed to play a few teams that finished at the bottom of they're division as well. I thought we would face four bottom dwellers this season, instead of two.

oh well, thx guys.

We do face the two lowest teams in the NFC North and AFC South (along with all the other teams in their division), and then we get the NFC East and NFC West cellar dwellars (Redskins and Cardinals).
