Fox Sports PR: Jets Worse Than Record

PrintSo I usually don't pay too much attention to things like this, but I always check them just to see where people have us, and how they think we are doing, and along my trails this morning I came across the Fox Sports power rankings. Now I will admit that I don't usually read the fox sports website at all, in fact this is the first time I have visited the site in years, so regular readers will have to let me know if it is usually as bad as this is.
Jets 5th
WORSE THAN RECORD: Are the Jets a big tease, overrated and destined for a major fade? No. They will challenge for a playoff spot and the AFC East title. But Mark Sanchez will have a few rookie moments before he's through this season and the Jets still haven't faced any major road test ... until Week 4, that is. Tune in next week.
I expected to see the Jets 5th, or around there, I think that's just about right, but read the other rankings, the Eagles at 4th? I don't see it, we have had no road test, we went on the road to a team that was 12-4 over the past two years at home with a rookie QB making his first appearance and a HC coaching his first game. So you must think if the Eagles are ahead with a 2-1 record then they must of had a hell of a schedule. Road win at Carolina and a home win against the Chiefs and a home loss to the Saints.
Steelers 1-2 being above the 3-0 Vikings, the Patriots 2-1 being ahead of the Ravens and Vikings. It really is the most ridiculous list ever concocted.

That’s not ridiculous, but things like the Steelers above the Vikings and Pats above the Ravens as David mentioned don’t make much sense.

Agreed.
Was that the article written by Troy Acheman? Clearly FOX is not the place to find anything but shameless pandering to the biggest fan bases.

I dont know, we got really lucky with the Patriots game, if Wes Welker was playing it would have been a totally different game, they had Bart Scott covering a receiver in that game a couple of times, we would have had 4 receivers to deal with that game, thank god Revis shut down Moss because that would have opened up a can of worms, we need all CB on deck this week end and we have to do to Brees what we did to Brady its not even a option this time around we still need to get a #1 or #2 receiver we have a potential #1 and a whole bunch of #3 receivers, it does help that Keller is a beast but sometimes we cant move the ball at all, I wish we still had Chris Baker sometimes

I don’t agree. His replacement played better than arguably any other Patriot that day.

they didn’t have welker, and if we had calvin pace we coulda gotten a couple of sacks in that game.
people talk so much about how bill bellycrawl is so good with replacing injured players when they win and how injuries don’t affect them,
but when they lose, the other team was lucky due to the injury.
also, that was a gametime announcement and the jets must have been preparing all week for welker and now they have to deal with edelman who they know nothing about.
and the home of the... JETS!!!
Love these.
We were lucky Darrelle Revis is the best CB in the league? Oh, okay.

Seems to me you're a Saints fan

Me?
Yeah, um…. no.

Not you
My bad entirely, not even right about bllackkman who I responded to. I clicked what I though was bllackkman’s profile but it was actually senrycrusher whose named I clicked, he is the Saints fan.

this is going to be good...
I think the best defense playing against the best offense! Plus my Saints D isn’t playing half bad and your O is looking good too… Best QB in the league right now VS best DB in the league!!!
