Falcon's Talons Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Talk is cheap. The experts can think and say whatever they want. The bottom line is that the Falcons are #1 at 6-0. The Falcons still have issues on both sides of the ball, as do all the other 31 teams in the NFL. Notwithstanding the issues, the Falcons have shown their resillience and determination when being tested and there are still many tests that lay ahead. Their thinking is "we're good, but we must get better". For what the Falcons will face down the road, they had better get better. Enough said.

Bill Brasky Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I have never hard of that site in my life. Anyone can make a website, and post a power ranking, doesn't make it accurate.Grantland is the brain child of Bill Simmons and is part of ESPN. It is not some random website. It's actually a really good site full of interesting, mostly sports related stories. I find it much more interesting than the crap on espn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rajhae Battle Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 This "Grantland" loses all creditably when you put TWO teams that beat a team behind the team they beat. He put NE ahead of Baltimore. First of all how at 3-3 has NE displayed that they are #6 let alone better? Then he takes the cake by putting SF ahead of the team that slapped them around in their own backyard. He gave some bogus explanation but reading it was futile. I understand that everybody has their own opinion, but if you want anyone to take your site seriously, you have to have objective analysis.Anything he had to say was rendered useless, when you start letting a little thing like "facts" get in the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcons007 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Best Part was Bears at Number 1. I thought Bears had a Bye Week, may be he will put Falcons at 1 next week after the Bye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1989Fan Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 power rankings cant seem to look past the current week.I would rather be 6-0 and win every game by 3 than 3-3 and win 1 or 2 games in big fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peyton Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 And playing the "it matters because Marshall Faulk said it" card......Marshall Faulk was a great football player. As an analyst, I find him to be a bit of an idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
