ESPN Power Rankings Post Week 5, an outrage! - Page 3

BillyDaleClanton · 10-09-2007, 12:42 PM

Power rankings don't mean shit, but this is the biggest sports media corporation in the world and it's a slap in the face. Chiefs are dead last in the AFC West? At least they have a defense that keeps them in every ballgame. WTF!!!

12. Chargers 2-3

19. Broncos 2-3

20. Raiders 2-2

25. Chiefs 2-3

The AFC South is far better than any other division right now. If you wanted my top 5 in the AFC... it'd be NE/Indy/Pitt/Jax/Tenn.... and three of those come from the same division. And to be honest, I'd probably rank Houston 6th. 4 of the top 6 teams in the AFC.

I think that might be what's throwing everything off and making the AFC look weird and unbalanced. Other than New England and Pittsburgh, every other non-AFC South team looks really flawed right now.

Houston is good with Andre Johnson and Ahman Green in the lineup, but with those two guys injured, damn - they look totally average (at best)...

We don't get respect when we are playing well, we're certainly not going to get any love when we suck.

They aren't going to move teams 20 slots in a week.. that would be as irrational as, well, Chiefsplanet.

The Broncos were 2-0, lost to 2 good teams, and got blown out.. they moved down 9 spots for getting embarrassed at home. We were where we deserved to be last week, having moved up 7 spots for beating the Chargers. We get thumped at home, we move down 4 spots.. not as much as the Broncos, because Jax > SD. If the Broncos had lost like that in week 1, they would have dropped 20 spots.... the same difference between Michigan/App State and USC/Stanford.

We are the worst team that's no more than 1 game within .500, and I think that's about right.

As long as we win out the AFC I don't care. Oh and even as much as we suck right now the broncos definitely suck more. We'll beat their sorry arses twice this year. PRINT IT!

True statement.

As long as he's here, we'll always have the dumbass coach handicap.

chiefsfan1963 · 10-09-2007, 02:13 PM

who cares about this really. The fact is we're a pretty bad football team going the wrong direction. It is sad to see how low we've dropped in O.

We threw the baby out with the bath water when DV/AS left. Yes our D improved but overall we are worse off as a team!

Real effective change can only occur with a Total New Front Office, and an owner that has a desire to win a championship and build a dynasty!

If Indy and Pats can do it so can we!

This ain't college football so who cares?

The sagarin computer rankings have us at #29. I wonder if we were even that low during the Frank Ganz era. It's been a long time since we've been this bad.
