<p>Our team is not as good as you have them ranked niners way better than us giants have best quaterback in the league seahawks have incredible defense.  </p>
<p>Rankings should be as thus:</p>
<p>1.   Texans-best defense in league, decent offense</p>
<p>2.   Giants- best quarterback in league</p>
<p>3.   49ers-best coach in league great defense</p>
<p>4.   Pats-we(the ravens) did not really beat them gimmie penalty saved us in a game we were outcoached yet again</p>
<p>5.   Packers-this team will rise they have it all</p>
<p>t-6.   Ravens. Falcons-these two teams are mirror images of one another</p>
<p>t-7.   Seahawks, Cardinals-these two teams have great defense, bad quarterbacks</p>
<p>8.   Bengals- this team is loaded on offense and defense should come around</p>
<p>9.   Vikings-hard to believe they beat niners</p>
<p>10. Broncos-peyton not peyton of old but still servicable</p>
<p>11. Steelers-aging defense betrays decent offense</p>
<p>12. Redskins-rg3 real deal, defense, offensive line not</p>
<p>t-13. Cowboys,Bears-these two teams mirror images quarterbacks useless and over rated decent defense</p>
<p>t-14. Bills, lions- these two teams are very similar decent offense serviceable defense</p>

<p><span style="color:#8B0000">The rankings should be exactly as they are....because they are based on actual performance...NOT some preconceived conception.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#8B0000">Again, how I did this was I ranked all the 3-0 teams at the top. Then came all the 2-1 teams, then the 1-2 teams, then the 0-3 teams.  Within each group then they were ranked by point differential in the games they played.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#8B0000">A TOTALLY objective measure.  Pure math, not opinion.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#8B0000">Is it designed to predict who would win a particular matchup?  Fuck no.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#8B0000">But this tells you what each team has actually done.....not what you think they might do.</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#8B0000">If I had ignored records and gone strictly by point differential, then the Browns would actually rank higher. There are about 9 teams in the league that have a worse point differential than the Browns do in their games, but some of them actually pulled a game out.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#8B0000">Yea, you got the Pats ranked #4 because you THINK they are good.  But the fact is, they have lost 2 out of their 3 games.  So, clearly, based on performance, your rankings are unjustified...pure opinion.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#8B0000">I do note that you say "our team" is not as good...and you refer to the Browns as "you", yet you have been too gutless to tell who "your team" is.</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#8B0000">Again, I am not trying to defend "my" rankings, because, as I have said, they are based purely on two mathematical indices.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#8B0000">When we get a little further into the season I will abandon this for the true power rankings....known as the standings.</span></p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/305216</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/305216</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[The Gipper]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 26 Sep 2012 14:37:23 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to The Gipper's Power Rankings Week 3 on Wed, 26 Sep 2012 03:25:21 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Our team is not as good as you have them ranked niners way better than us giants have best quaterback in the league seahawks have incredible defense.  </p>
