The Washington Post, in a display of common sense rarely seen…
 

Published their power rankings going into this week’s game.

After the loss to the Rams, they have the Colts in 9th place, followed by the Rams, 4 spots later at 13.

ESPN, has us at 10, moving up 2 spots in a loss. With the Rams at 4. I have no problem with that ranking.

Wild.... ESPN had us at #28 in preseason rankings.

It smarts a bit that were not 4-0. If there is a silver lining to AD Mitchell's disaster, it may provide a catalyst to renew focus on fundamentals, discipline, and professionalism.

Far from a safe bet, but intangibles can improve tangibles, like 47.4% red zone TD%... the Rams game burns my arse, but the Colts have good problems to fix.

The Commanders beat the Chargers.

The Patriots beat the Bills.

The 49ers beat the Rams.



This week's power-rankings ought to be very interesting.

Rankings are like opinions, which are like assholes. Everybodys' got one and a lot of shit comes out of every one of them.

Regardless of the rankings, they are currently the number 1 seed in the AFC.

I would have put those odds at 10,000-1 for week 5.

I had this same thought after the games Sunday... pretty mind blowing to see the colts above the Bills, chiefs etc....

As far as rankings go, I will take whatever the media gives us, we still need to beat some better teams to build confidence. The Rams loss stings like mad.

I usually ignore these rankings as they are like some odd ball beauty contest that just make me scratch my head in how they were derived.

Bottom line - Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as the saying goes.
