ESPN | NFL Power Rankings: Training camp edition

Shit I didn't know I missed the world premiere of Comedy Central's Roast of Point Blank

[Point Blank]

This is hilarious. Im get "flamed" for posting some new power rankings and get accused for posting them just because the Falcons are at 8th. Then Houtz brings up NFL.com's PRs and doesn't even post them.

I see whats going on here. Point Blank obviously posted the ESPN rankings because he went through about 15 different websites of pre-season power rankings and ESPN is the one that had the Falcons the highest. Duh.

[Point Blank]

Lol, I went on ESPN, CBS, and FoxSports like I always do/post. Guess what site only had new ones...

Check my old threads during the NFL season.

You make it sound far-fetched...but if you were in charge of posting power rankings (like Point Blank is), then it would only make sense. You call it crazy, I call it due dilligence.

Yall niggas iz gay.

But really the Falcon's season rests on the shoulders of one man. Matt Ryan. If he comes out and does work like he should then the Super Bowl is a possibility.

And as we all know, Ryan >>>> Brady & Rivers.

So it makes sense that Atlanta is above New England and SD.

Preseason power rankings mean as much as a positive game review from OS.

Need further proof?

2009 Preseason Ranking
#18 Seattle
#19 New Orleans

Forget preseason, all power rankings are meaningless.

The NFL has a really good power ranking system, its called "standings".

ESPN does terrible at just about everything. The only reason they're more reputable than Bleacher Report is that they've been around longer and they have more money.

Be that as it may, I don't think they actually put much work or thought into these. If they did, it was just to instigate debate. Which it has. They were evidently successful in that.

I hope the Raiders can do better than 24, but it's not like that's unrealistic... And, no, the Falcons are not better than the Bolts and Pats, as much as I dislike the Bolts and Pats.

[Point Blank]

lol @ me being in charge of posting power rankings.

[Senser81]

lol @ me being in charge of posting power rankings.

BigWill had his NCAA Countdown...you have your Power Rankings.

[Fox1994]

lol @ me being in charge of posting power rankings.

Well, you're the guy who did it. No one else has the Power Rankings posted, whereas you say you've done it... Twice? Or was this the first time?

[Hasselbeck]

You are a nyjer so the big dick thing may be to late.

The rest is not sarcasm. Falcons wont make the playoffs, several people are calling the Fins legit playoff contenders and I don't believe that. Just proving how ridiculous some of these "experts" are with their shitty power rankings.

If the Saints take a step back (entirely possible.. given their defense still isn't anything special) the Falcons would likely take the reins in that division.

HOWEVER, my NFC South sleeper? Carolina. Matt Moore will not turn over the ball like Delhomme did and I think they will surprise a lot of people.
