    good thing the power rankings don't mean sh*t.
    i wouldn't be "soooo mad" about some J/O analyst's perspective.

    Who would you put behind us? I don't think we're better than Miami yet. Buffalo played NE to a standstill. Beat Buffalo next week, we'll pass them.

    I think the #22 ranking is correct, though. I think these power rankings tend to be trailing indicators -- teams have made a turn in their fortunes before these rankings begin to reflect reality.

    Don't worry about the rankings. Let's worry about the wins. The rankings will follow.

    The Colts have been #1 for like every year now, and they never win anything in the playoffs. Who cares what the "experts" think?

    We lost and they moved us up 1 spot. I think that's recognition enough. Really getting tired of the no respect angle.

    When three teams from the same division are ranked back to back to back, you know someone got lazy with the power rankings.

    The Fins should be ranked much lower.

    Yes, yes, yes! Enough of the Rodney Dangerfield stuff, already.

    Certainly no one could argue that Buffalo and New England belong in front of the Jets anyway, and the Fins are probably ahead of the Jets because they're on the way down while the Jets are on the way up. But really - who cares?

    I loved where we were ranked. 2 weeks ago we were second to last and everyone was talking about how horrible we were. Now we are in the middle of the pack for the middle of the pack teams. That seems about right to me. Who cares where Miami is ranked? Once we beat them we'll move up a few notches.

    Respect is over rated... Wins are all that matters... (LOL... a champism ;) ) We are rebuilding, so dan't take it personal, but don't expect to crack the top 20 in power rankings this year either.

    Its only 2 freakin games into the season! For cryin out loud just stop the madness already!! Power Rankings this early mean absolutely NOTHING! No wonder this team is followed by so many Manic Depressives.. Gee Freakin Whiz!!!

    Why is it so hard to simply watch the season as it unfolds and see where we stand after things settle down just a bit?

    We're rebuilding remember?????? What's next? we're talking Wild Card in week 3??????

    WTF!!!! :mad:

    We should be ahead of the Fins. Of course we aren't though. Everyone said the Fins would win the East. Who cares. Fins are an 0-2 joke.

    The only times the power rankings should be taken seriously is when they rank us high.

    We can't run the football, and we can't block. While our record might be better than the Phins, the fact that they are able to move the football puts them at an advantage. We played great last week, but we have to overachieve passing to remain competitive, and that makes any team that doesn't better than us.

    Plus the press can't just admit that Daunte Culpepper sucks without Randy Moss. He'll get another three week cushion before that reality is affirmed anywhere.

    I think we have a good chance of getting higher than that, but we'll see as the season goes on. If we play well, we'll definitely have a chance.

    Power Rankings are nothing but the opinion of a sports writer taken to new levels of laziness. Disregard them completely.

    Actually...

    JETS - 588 yds passing, 142 yds rushing
    Dolphins - 430 yds passing, 130 yds rushing

    Surprisingly, we aren't last in rushing.
