I really don't understand why everyone gets so annoyed by these rankings. They have no bearing on the playoffs or the superbowl. All that matters is the wins and losses. Who cares if the media is riding our coat tails. Sometimes I wish I was back in 85...at least there wasnt all this useless media coverage.DaveSkin wrote:This stuff never ceases to amaze me:

They use a model that takes into account who they have played this season and how they did at the end of last season. I believe that it also uses modifiers based on wind direction, temperature and humidity. There is also a variable for how well the author of this ranking is lactating that day.
Four 1-2 teams are ranked higher than us. Oh yeah, and our defensive rank is #9.

Great question - wasted space on these boards IMO!

yes - or somewhere!!!! the media make me feel like
I understand that they are biased but they are in the entertainment business and their opinions mean nothing.Until recently, Snyder & Allen have made a lot of really bad decisions - nobody with any sense believes this franchise will get better under their guidance
Snyder's W/L record = 45% (80-96) - Snyder/Allen = 41% (59-84-1)

They start off saying "our formula is different because we go on this flippin sweet formula and not our gut feeling" ...then when talking about the Skins, they say...we "have a feeling" 
...that the skins are lucky.
What a crock of....
They say the Bears are #7 based on the stats, but they are 21 in their rank. Question. If they aren't gonna use the formula, why say they are using the formula?

I have no idea why we get no respect.
We've played Division Leaders from every division we have faced.
Chicago
Seattle
Dallas
Denver
We are 3-1 v/s division leaders with the one loss coming by 2 points.
I don't care if they like us, but these idiots don't respect our schedule and what we've done.

We've lost 4 of our last 6. That doesn't buy much respect.

What have we done for them recently though...is how they're looking at it.
We made them look dumb during the Marty and Spurrier years with the bandwagon so they've written us off.
They bashed us all last year and this offseason.
We shock them and they refuse to believe and then as soon as they start giving us respect we fail them again.
They dont know what to do.

Here's what they say about us:
Could almost have been written by a Redskins fan.
A tough schedule and absurdly poor luck in recovering fumbles isn't helping things in Washington, but the absence of defensive tackle Cornelius Griffin has been another major reason for the team's recent struggles. Griffin suffered a hip injury against the Giants, missed three weeks, and was clearly not at 100 percent when he returned against San Diego. When healthy, Griffin is one of the few defensive tackles in the league who is effective both against the run and at rushing the passer. NEXT: at STL

Maybe because our last 2 games were on CBS and we were less than spectacular.
Hopefully, all will change tomorrow.
People may not remember exactly what you did
or what you said....
~BUT~
they will ALWAYS remember how you made them feel.

Hopefully, nothing changes tomorrow (or the next rankings) as they do not count. All we need is a W - the "rankings" get us nothing! They can rank us last as long as we are 6-6!
