i'm trying to take a very objective, "wait and see" approach to this year. i won't be surprised if we stink, but i won't be surprised if we are good either. i'm not getting my hopes up or down. but one thing i can say for certain is that there is no way we will be worse than last year- and we weren't THAT bad last year.
we finished 24th i guess, if you go by draft order- but we were clearly a better team than some that drafted after us (chicago, detriot, NYG [though their pick had been traded to SD], and dare i say dallas as well). so really we were probably around 20th. which certainly isn't very good, but there is no way we are going to be almost 50% WORSE this year and plummet down to 4th worst in the league. outrageous.

Greetings from NYC: What is Espn going to say when we beat the Bears on opening day and finish the season 11-5 with home field advantage!

I didn't bother reading tons of comments, so pardon me if I repeat anything:
1) Notice this was ESPNs staff just saying, "Ha, you might have given away a high round draft pick!" They know this ranking has nothing to do with football, and more to do with entertainment.
2) Cowboys, Bengals, and Rams should be lower / Redskins, Bucs and Texans should be higher.
It will all be settled come the fall.

ESPN has us ranked below the Bears which is a joke in my mind.
However, my online sportsbook has the Redskins -6 vs. Chicago on opening day. I trust the guys in Vegas setting the lines a LOT more than the morons making up these power rankings, because if they are wrong it will hurt them where it counts most: the wallet.

1. The Bears must really suck this year.
2. The Sins started out like this last year, and we all know what happened.
3. Despite the win, it appears that there's a QB controversey brewing ...

These rankings mean absolutely nothing. Until you get to week 8 you really can´t gauge the success a team is having in the season.
Do I hate the Cowboys? Yes. Do I think they´re better team than we are? Yes, based solely on the fact that they beat us both two last year. In fact, almost everyone beat us, so I won´t speculate anymore on who is better than the Skins till we arrive at the half season.
