Texans 16th on ESPN's Preseason Power Rankings

The 16 spot is good.....back to back 8-8 seasons is, well average/middle of the pack and that's where they got us. Hopefully after the 1st quarter we'll have moved up though. (we better have if we want any shot in hell of reaching the playoffs.....3 or our first 4 games are at home.)

sh!t I didn't realize that was a factor for getting voted into the playoffs. we need someone to really get out there and drum up some sympathy for us!

college football is a joke until that nonsense get eliminated.
 
I really enjoy power rankings. I kind of wish we were lower so I could watch our rise.

I kind of have a small problem with San Diego being ranked as high simply because they play in a bad division. They struggled themselves being 8-8 in a piss poor division. Says something about them. I say overrated. Turner is killing the team.
 
I always enjoy the annual preseason Power Ranking threads around here.

I love the people who get bent out of shape, violently disagreeing with our ranking. "There's no way in hell we're 18th!" LOL.

It really makes no difference to be quite honest. There's 3 or 4 really good teams, and everybody else is behind them.

The only power ranking that matters is that the Steelers are Super Bowl Champions.

Thats the one I want.

AFC West is going to be topsy-turvy this year. Last year the Chargers made a late season run and had to have Denver fold, which they did, and they backdoored into the playoffs. I predict the team folds this year, might not have a terrible record but Turner is going to lose the team. Still can't believe that guy has managed to get multiple coaching gigs.

It should be a "sticky" thread: "Hey, Power Rankings don't mean crap!"

Every person required to read it, asked to refrain from going mental on what some website has us ranked at.

It's like two kids arguing over the baseball card stats of their favorite player.

"My guys better!"

"No he's not!"

"YES HE IS!"

"NO HE'S NOT!"

LOL.

19 (16) Saints 8-8-0 One of the NFL's oldest teams needs better luck with injuries to rebound and contend for the division crown. (Sando)

The Saints are one of the NFL's "oldest" franchises? The Saints were an expansion team founded in 1967. ESPN should be leaders and knowledgeable about the NFL but they put this kind of drivel out there and later they probably have lots of marketing meetings about how they can't figure out why they aren't doing so well. I have a hint. Don't publish crap.

I think they must have meant the average age of the players. It should be obvious to anyone the Saints are far from being an old team in terms of NFL time.

heh, I ended up in Sando's mailbag. Some of the 49er crowd spotted my writing style (upscale drivel).

Vinny from Houston writes: In regards to your preseason NFL rankings, the Saints are one of the NFL's "oldest" franchises? The Saints were an expansion team founded in 1967. You guys should be leaders and knowledgeable about the NFL, but you put this kind of drivel out there and later you probably have lots of marketing meetings about how you can't figure out why you aren't doing so well.

Mike Sando: The "oldest" reference applied to the average age of the Saints' players. By that standard, the Saints have one of the oldest teams in the league. Sorry for any confusion.
