http://espn.go.com/nfl/powerrankings?year=2009&week=3Not that I put a ton of stock in these ratings, but how can the Bears' drop from 11 to 15 after losing to the Pack, but then only go up 1 spot after beating the world champs. Meanwhile, the Pack only slips one after getting beat by the BENGALS?

You guys are complaining about ESPN's rankings? They actually have us high compared to others.
CBS #19

http://fanrankings.nfl.com/I guess they are fair rankings so far. I still think the Bears haven't played their best football which is a good thing. We beat the defending champs not at our best and we have an easy schedule to end the year.

Because the Bears needed two missed field goals and a game-winner with 15 seconds left to beat the world champs at home?

Yeah, but it's the Bengals. They couldn't beat Kyle Orton and they freaking manhandled the Packers....
AT LAMBEAU. Come on.

Let's face it, the Bengals beat the Broncos and a fluke play switched the result.

Even if Reed makes both FGs we could've still won with a TD, everyone is forgetting that.

Yeah, but still. I mean, you could argue that whole Jennings thing was a fluke play(it wasn't, Vasher just blows chunks)
I'm just playing Devil Advocate. No way in hell would I rank Green Bay below us or drop the Steelers that far. Let's not forget we beat them without Polamalu who for all we know could have like intercepted Jay, four times and raped Greg Olsen. I mean, we're 14 w/o Brian Urlacher? I'll take it.
