I try not to get worked up over these polls. I'll take a general assessment of where people/media think we are and comment on that but from poll to poll to wring our hands over it is a waste of time. We're gonna get some serious love now that we've played well and won some important games. Let's not start thinking we're on the path to the next NFL dynasty just yet though.

I Don't........I just like capitals

Dallas is still really good. I'm not worked up whether we are 5th or not. It's just an article. There's alot more football left. Some are leaping onto the bandwagon w/ SB hopes. I'm not going to say we are the best team in the NFL. We're pretty good though.

The skins are front page on every sports webpage out there. Guess what? When you win games you start getting a little respect. We really haven't won many big games in the last 10 years. Until now.

And how many has Dallas won? Aren't they on a 12-year playoff winless streak? I'm just sick of the seemingly God-given right these bums get, especially when we just beat them in their house.

Like I said in the original post, I know it's meaningless rankings from a scrub writer. I just wonder what his justification is, considering the two impressive wins the Skins just had. Not to mention they've also played and beaten some of the other very good offenses in football.

Dallas is coming off a loss to us and a sloppy, unimpressive win over an awful Bengals team. I just wonder what his "criteria" for these rankings is. Sure Dallas is very good on paper, I just think they also need to start winning some big games before they get anointed all season long again.

The Patriots were ranked no.1 last year. I don't even know where the Giants were ranked. I'd rather be last years Giants than Patriots. Who cares?

I am still confused about what the point of getting worked up about this is. He didn't rank us 15th. He gave us what I think is a generally fair ranking. I may quibble some with the rankings but in general they are decent. And if they weren't? Why care? What matters is that we win games. The number of games won is the number that matters. What some know nothing sports columnist says is entirely irrelevant.

Why are we constantly looking for this contrived (that word again) validation?
