I could possibly understand if Gene had based it on anything other than the team's current record, but he doesn't. Some 0-2's are screwed and others are just straight fucked. I don't get it. <br /><br />Martin, that's what I don't get at all. It is like Gene was handed these power rankings from on high or something. Power rankings are how a person writing thinks each team should be ranked. It should be based on their own criteria, so the writer should agree with where every team is ranked. Sometimes, the writer still gets shocked for some reason. <br /><br />Arjun, I will check out the blog. I don't know why I read Gene's writing either. I thought it was hilarious he put the teams in three categories, with little middle ground, and then after the 3rd week it was all fucked.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-54957907364171229542010-10-03T12:52:42.049-04:002010-10-03T12:52:42.049-04:00dude what is the point of even reading wojciechows...dude what is the point of even reading wojciechowski i don't know anyone who actually takes his opinions seriously or puts any stock in his expertise. I don't think i've ever read any point by him that i thought had any semblance of cogency in any way - he is just wasted space on ESPN.<br /><br />by the way how the hell can every team be either doomed desperate or dominant? does he seriously beliuevee that A. the first two categories aere actually any different, or that B. there is absolutely no middle ground? Apparently gene can use a two game sample size to determine that a team's season is either completely in the tank or headed for historical greatness. there is no such thing as a team that is pretty good and has an optimistic outlook but isn' quite elite. wow.<br /><br />by the way everyone make sure to check out www.arjun-allthingssports.blogspot.com when you're done hereArjun Chandrasekharhttp://www.arjun-allthingssports.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-5517615286414423192010-10-03T06:14:14.003-04:002010-10-03T06:14:14.003-04:00I love how Gene, Peter, and the rest of these guys...I love how Gene, Peter, and the rest of these guys who make "Power Rankings" somehow have the teams take on a life of their very own, and are apparently only reporting what they are seeing. Is it little team logos fighting it out in a King of the Hill minitaure battle arena in their den? I mean what the hell are these guys doing? They act, as Ben has pointed out many times, as if they have no control over their own power rankings. <br /><br />"Holy shit! The Bills have taken the top of the hill! They're #1 this week! Who would have thought? Go Buffalo! Man these ranking surprise me every week!"<br /><br />The only dominate thing about the Redskins this season is the smell they made with their two losses this season.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02929927900897638100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-4730747642941651472010-10-02T20:59:08.277-04:002010-10-02T20:59:08.277-04:00then ditching the detailed succession plan essenti...<b>then ditching the detailed succession plan essentially after the first two quarters of the season opener?</b><br /><br />They didn't ditch it until the third game. It wasn't until Kolb could play and Reid told him to get on the bench that they "ditched" it. So it was week 3, not after the second quarter. In fact this article might have been written before the plan was even officially ditched.<br /><br /><b>Cowboys -- Deader than Don Draper's secretary.</b><br /><br />They still had 5 division games left... How the fuck are they doomed? They play in a division with a team that sucks (Washington), a team that sucks (NY) and a team that should suck (Philly), but somehow wins.<br /><br /><b>I'm with Mr. Eyes-Bulging-From-Their-Sockets, Mike Singletary: the Niners are still going to win this division. </b><br /><br />0-2 Dallas: fucked.<br />0-2 SF: Winning division.<br /><br /><b>Antrel Rolle, who's been a Giant for about 20 minutes, is already popping off about the stifling, control-freak nature of coach Tom Coughlin. </b><br /><br />Then the moron shouldn't have signed the contract he did. It's not a surprise that Coughlin is a asshole coach.<br /><br /><b>Jets -- I know they beat the Patriots, but they go to Miami without Revis Island, without knucklehead Braylon Edwards in the starting lineup and without a good reason to think they won't be 1-2.</b><br /><br />Oh no! He didn't start? He might miss one series?!?!?!?!<br /><br />Also missing Revis in a game where you're facing Chad Henne isn't the end of the world.<br /><br /><b>Redskins -- Yeah, I know. They just blew a fourth-quarter lead at home and the running game is on a skim milk carton.</b><br /><br />Anyone who thinks the Redskins will be dominant over the course of a season is a fucking moron or a Redskins fan. McNabb is going to get hurt behind that line. <br /><br /><b>Packers -- Make your list of the five most dominant defensive players this season. Clay Matthews better be on it. </b><br /><br />Well so should Matthias Kiwiaunka. Too bad the Giants are doooooooommmeeedddd.<br /><br /><b>And who said regular-season games don't matter in the NFL? </b><br /><br />Ya, if only the NFL had some type of playoff system. It's too bad the Lombardi trophy gets sent out after a pre-season poll.<br /><br /><b>Saints -- Niners running back Frank Gore was right: San Francisco whupped the Saints up and down the field. And yet the Saints still found a way to win. In Drew Brees, I always trust.</b><br /><br />Win two games because your opponent played terrible, terrible football: Dominant. <br /><br />Lose two very close games (Dallas): Dooooooomed.FormerPhDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12837594679660975599noreply@blogger.com
