Leggggggo Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Not that they matter but they are all going to get posted, might as well make it one central location. If you see a list, post it here and I'll update with links in the original post.NFL.com first out and we are slotted at #7... 3 above the Panthers...http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000541939/article/nfl-power-rankings-week-4-falcons-continue-rise-steelers-fall"If you watched the first half of Sunday's win over the Cowboys, Atlanta fans, admit it: You panicked. The Falcons got that field goal to close the gap to 28-17, then headed into the third quarter confident they could get the matchups (translated: Julio Jones on anybody in white) they needed. Who saw that kind of game comin' from Devonta Freeman? Good grief. Freeman, who put up 193 total yards of offense and three scores, was running like the love child of William Andrews, Gerald Riggs and Warrick Dunn. And while we're there ... why doesn't Riggs get more love?"PFT/NBC slotted at #6... 4 above Panthers...http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/09/29/pfts-week-four-power-rankings/"Dan Quinn and company made great halftime adjustments. Or the Cowboys didn’t. Or both."SBNation slotted at #9... 2 behind Panthers...http://www.sbnation.com/2015/9/29/9410945/2015-nfl-power-rankings-week-4-patriots-packers-cardinals"Dan Quinn's group got punched in the face early this past week and gave up 28 points to the Dallas Cowboys in the first half, but they got themselves off the ropes and shut the Cowboys out in the second half, allowing Matt Ryan and Julio Jones to take over. That first half aside, the Falcons are flying around on defense and have a new-found enthusiasm and aggressiveness that makes them dangerous, particularly because they have an offense that can put a lot of points up on the board."Bleacher Report slotted at #7... 2 behind Panthers...http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2573298-nfl-power-rankings-week-4-review-and-reaction-to-2015-league-standingsESPN slotted at #6... 2 ahead of Panthers...http://espn.go.com/nfl/powerrankings"The Falcons are 3-0 for the third time since the '80s. They reached the NFC Championship Game the past two times they started 3-0." Edited September 29, 2015 by Leggggggo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pzummo Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I don't agree with the one's that have us behind the Steelers. They lost Big Ben for 4-6 weeks and already have a worse record. Not sure how you put them in the top 10 right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Our defense has moved up from 27 to 24 overall. Its not much but its still an improvement. Edited September 29, 2015 by FentayeJones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosts of Glanville Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I dont know why Riggs doesnt get more love either. He was a good back.I think it has more to do with the era. 1983 through '88 were some bad years. For you younger fans, imagine 2013 six times in a row, without having free agency or a salary cap to help bail you out. We were absolutely cemented in the bottom of the standings. 5-11 was a good year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lost Big Ben for 4-6 weeks and already have a worse record. Not sure how you put them in the top 10 right now.I saw that too, but if you look at the Cowboys they still had them ranked at #6 last week with Romo and Dez down. Not sure how they make their rankings but it obviously doesn't include known injuries to key components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.11 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 SBN and BR have us ranked behind the Panthers. They are giving the Panthers too much respect for beating teams with three backup QBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shockerfalcon Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 SBN and BR have us ranked behind the Panthers. They are giving the Panthers too much respect for beating teams with three backup QBs.probably has more to do with the panthers being 3-0 (1-0 in the div) and the reigning division champs. Nothing really wrong with that it will change when we play them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was cursing her, and being really nasty. I put a quarter out of my pocket in front of him and told him he could have the quarter or a butt whipping. He wisely took the quarter and slunk off.

Nah, no panick, in Quinn we trusthaha I was thinking the same thing when I read that. I was telling everyone that I was watching with that if we could keep it to a two score game at the half we would make some major adjustments and make a game out of it. Didn't realize it'd be that drastic of a turn around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rugger8 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Our defense has moved up from 27 to 24 overall. Its not much but its still an improvement.That's having played a few legit offenses, also.The eyeball test tells me we will be moving up in coming weeks.

1989Fan Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Yeah, I smell some good defensive outing cooking. I think Mallett will be dumb enough to test Tru and pay the price. I could see 3+ turnovers against HOU. I think we try and run all day to wear down those pass rushers and force Mallett to win the game.

Draftnut57 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Green Bay and NE should be ranked 1 and 2 at the moment.. Until someone can show they can beat them consistently they should be there. They are at this very moment,, 1 and 2, don't matter which one you have 1st. Top 2 right now. Then good news is we are headed up the rankings fast and I believe will continue as the year goes on. I said before the season started, Every game we can win, we will be a little better each game.. if we can just win our first 3 games,, we will then be hard to beat once we get the "Quinn system" down. Each week should make us better.. The big question is... Can we beat those two best teams at the end of the year?? By then I think we will have a great shot to do that. if we can stay relatively healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl927 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 ESPN has us ranked 6th, which is about fair. However, they have the taints at 31 which is waaaaay too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
