Power Ranking B.S. - Week 3

So we squeak out a one-point win against the Lambs on the road and we're a top-10 team. We hang tough for three quarters and then give way to an elite team on the road and we're scum? What gives? Fox Sports and SI.com rank the Niners in the bottom half of the league, while ESPN has the team at #15. I'm starting to think trained seals put these things together. Hell, Len Pasquarelli does bears striking resemblance to an elephant seal.



Separated at birth?

Frankly, who gives a damn anymore. (I know, I know...I do.) Clearly everyone's confused as hell about which teams are actually any good. Parity in the NFL has been great in that every team can dream of success before the season starts. But with the Colts and Pats standing atop the NFL, do they really? Excitement at the cost of mediocrity doesn't make for great games. Titanic clashes like the old Cowboys-49ers games have been replaced by the Pats-Colts, but even those games aren't quite the same.

Anyways, despite the punitive rankings drop, these guys make good points. The offense needs to snap out of its 31st-ranked funk and the D needs to shore up its front before we expect to be taken seriously.
