can't wait to see where they are ranked in the other rankings.

don't know why but in the ESPN rankings we fell below the Steelers(who just demolished the lowly Ravens), Steelers shouldn't be ahead of us.
ranked 5th in the ESPN rankings.

The Steelers looked unconscious last night, but I'm a fan of doing the 'six degrees of separation' type rankings. For example, Steelers were beat by the Broncos in Denver, we beat Denver, we should be ranked higher than the Steelers. If there's a question, go to record. In the case of the Packers and Steelers, the Packers have the better record. There's no reason Pittsburgh should be in front of Green Bay.

ESPN is really aggravating me lately. First, if you go to their Packer page this week http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=gnb you have to listen to mullethead Bill Parcells blather on that the Cowboys and Giants are the best two teams in the NFC - two teams he just happens to have worked for. Oh really?! And it didn't occur to you that the Pack already handled your precious Giants 35-13, in NY, and have a better record?! Freakin' idiot.
And then when you go to ESPN's Bucks page http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=mil you're greeted with a Bucks home opener clip with some smarmy announcer saying "Yi Jianlian. Welcome to Milwaukee. Didn't want to be there. Smiling for this one - at least for now." I feel like ESPN is deliberately leaving Wisconsin's sports cake out in the rain. Damn them!

The Steelers have lost to Denver AND Arizona. I agree, i dont see why they are ahead of the Packers. As for the cbs sportsline rankings those are bogus. Why are the Eagles way up at 22? The Ravens at 16? I realize theyve won 4 games, however Jets, Niners, Rams and Cardinals arent exactly winners. They werent even blow out wins either.
The Redskins at 12? I dont understand the love there. Theyve now beaten Miami and the Jets in OT by a FG and should have lost in regular time to both. Am I the only one that would put the saints ahead of them?
I also dont see why the Packers are ahead of the Cowboys. Honestly it doesnt make sense. The Packers are good but have needed some last minute heroics for their past 3 wins. Meanwhile the Cowboys have been blowing teams out, their only loss is to the Cheatriots and they even led in the 3rd quarter against them. (And apparently no one seems to think that missing a pro bowl who leads the league in INTs against those WRs made a difference which i also dont understand). Anyways, as I said those Cbs sportsline rankings are whack.

The Cowboys banner win was...?
You beat the Giants at home and...? Maybe you can call the road win at Philly one to hang your hate on, simply because it's in Philly.
But the Packers won in NY, in Denver and in KC. They also won at home against San Diego and Washington. KIAM, come back when you have a resume like that.
Ugh, it doesn't irritate me as much as the love the Giants are getting. Everyone can't stop singing their praises and how incredible it is that they've come back after that 0-2 start. They've played nobody! Their last five wins have come against teams with a combined record of 8-37! I feel like Will Ferrel at the end of Zoolander:
"The man has only one look for Christ's sake! Blue Steel? Ferrari? Le Tigre? They're the same face! Doesn't anybody notice this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!"
Don Banks of SI.com had Coughlin as the coach of the year so far. Are you **** kidding me?

I remember watching that Dallas/Buffalo game thinking i sure hope this crazy win by them doesn't come back to bite us for playoff seeding. Plus, i had to sit and watch that idiot Jerry Jones and his scary post plastic surgery face getting more air time.
I was a Packers and Cowboys fan as a kid, Tony Dorsett was my favorite player in the NFL. Now i hate the Cowboys after the Bears/Vikings and a big reason why is something about Jerry Jones really grates on me. Love watching the camera go on him during a loss.
