They clearly don't like us and Pat agrees with the disrespect

Rankings

Pat's Take

[Mr. Scot]

Pat agrees with the disrespect

Doesn't sound like agreement to me...

Atlanta is No. 8 overall and first in the division? Nice season last year, but has anybody looked at the Falcons' schedule? Can't see how the voters put the Falcons ahead of the Panthers, who came in at No. 11. In my book, Carolina's still the class of the NFC South. Forget the playoff loss, they were 12-4 last season and have virtually their entire team back.

They should be much higher....becasue we all kow how well the SB loser does the next season.

The Cards were a mediocre team that got hot at the right time.

They still play in the Crappy NFC West, but Seattle will be back and prob win that division.

Last season (reg season) proved that the Cards were not an elite team....losing to every good team they played. They got hot for a couple of games....hard to carry that over into a full season the next year.

Cards finish 8-8 and miss the playoffs....again.

Lions are too high

[monstercat]

8th is actually pretty fair, if you ask me, and I agree that Arizona is the team that's really being disrespected. Hell, they are the second best team in the NFL until proven otherwise.

[WilkinsonDonnie]

I hate ESPN. During the college football preview for the state of Indiana they never mentioned Ball State, and who was the only Indiana college to be ranked last year...

Also ESPN not recognizing the Roethlisberger accusations until days after....bias!

[DOUBLETROUBLE28]

Lions are too high

lol

[unicar15]

How is it that every year (no matter how we do the previous season) one of the other teams is ALWAYS picked ahead of us? I think the last time we were picked to win our division was the year after the Super Bowl...crazy.
