Overall, not bad and I think somewhere between 2-5 is about right.

I like how everbody needs to have San Diego near the top because they actually won a game in September. They looked bad and lost some pieces. I think the Vikings are starting to suck more.

But all those rankings are fair. I can see why Packers, Patriots and Saints can be listed before us. I'm not sure about the Eagles and their O-Line.

[Gtown Purple]

Fair assessment from the ones who have posted so far. I'm interested to see what espn has to say.

[PuRock]

How the Jets are a top 5 team is beyond my reading comprehension. Maybe I should go back to school.

I know, and I can't believe CBS's Reason for the Jets being 6th:

"The comeback against the Cowboys speaks volumes about their mental toughness. I just worry they will play a lot of close games -- and you can't do that in all of them."

Mental Toughness and playing alot of close games??? They have been playing close games since last season and should haven't even been anywhere near the playoffs.

Edit request - Can a Mod change "Meaning" to "Mean"....Thanks!

[1/28/01]

ESPN added - They see us as #4 behind GB, NE and Philly
Edit - Yahoo Sports added as well

[ravens88]

yea the eagles O-line is their weakness but they have some firepower i think from 2-5 are all a toss up each are so close just personal opinion at that point.

[PWNEDbyDEANO]

I've no problem with where we're ranked on any of them. I think the Chargers are overrated in some of them considering they did little more than scrape a win even though McNabb managed a whopping 39 yards.

[ball hawkin 20]

Honestly, we should be number 2 on all of the. Doing that against the Steelers has never happened. And how are the Steelers in the top 10 after that?

[Gordo52]

Eh, Id say Packers and Pats deserve to be infront of us

[Crabcakes&Football]

Pete Prisco must be steamed by being forced to put the Ravens this high. I hate that guy. In my opinion #3 is where we belong in fairness. The Pack deserves #1 no argument there, the Patriots looked awesome on offence, the Ravens looked dominant in every way imaginable. Vick the QB was bad, Vick the RB was good he needs much improvement, not all teams are gonna allow him 98 yards. The chargers won unimpressively against a bad team, WHY would anyone put them ahead of us is beyond me.

But the great thing is, a lot of them had us at #8 at the highest the week previous to that. I've seen us as low as # 13. I hope those guys like their crow purple.

[ravenwildman]

NFL.com has out the power rankings. The Ravens are #2 just behind the Packers........wow.... have we ever been listed so high?

Never been here before, kind feels good at the top even though I don't hold much to "rankings"



GO RAVENS!

Ya that sucks...

[T-ray]

I think its a good thing to be ranked so high, but also a bad thing. Good, because its a reward for hard work, and we still have one more spot to go before we're on top of the mountain...... bad, because it may lead to swollen heads and there's nowhere to go but down once you're at the very top, which means teams are gunning for you.

[mjb12]

How can the Chargers be near the top when they almost lost to a team with 39 passing yards?

[Gordo52]

I dont care what were ranked. Only thing I hate about the media is the bias love for steelers patriots and matt ryan, and lack of respect for the ravens. It just irks me. Sure more NFL fans can see the Ravens are going off but its all off the opinion of some analyists that dont matter at all. Js

@ The end we champs tho!

[Reed the Raven]

I don't think the Patriots should be #2 just yet, their defense is still very bad (in my opinion) and we always give Tom Brady fits (he threw 2 of his 4 interceptions against the Baltmore Ravens last season) and we play with or better than the Patriots despite winning or losing.
