Prisco loves us. Picked us to win the division before the season -- highly unlikely the way SF looks.

ESPN's Football Today Podcast had Ross Tucker (former Patriot) place the Cards at #10 in his power rankings.

For what it's worth, which isn't much. Power rankings are pretty bunk.

Absolutely bunk. But still fun to look at and see how different the list are from person to person.

All this love can't be right...

It's all down hill from here. :titanic: We're doomed! Our heads are getting too big! We're not even that good. We are by far the worst 2-0 team ever to exist. In fact, we should just forfeit the rest of the season because we wouldn't want to accidentally injure a key player on a more worthy team.

Same old :cards:

All this love so early in the season, reminds me of 2002, I think...the year Jake and the Neverland Cardinals started 4-2...coming off a 9-6 win over Dallas...They had a dirtybirdesque dance they were doing...Terry Bradshaw came to town and did a feature for Fox NFL Sunday...then the season went down the crapper!

Cant let it bother you. We all knew these were coming. 2-0 and in the friggin teens.



The Cardinals have arguably the 2 biggest wins of any 2-0 team.

Seahwaks are a top team. IMO, much better than the Lions team the 9ers beat.


and beating NE in NE on opening day is, probably literally, the most near impossible game in the NFL to win. And we did it.

No homerism, but we should be #3 minimum.

That's complete homerism. The top 8-10 should be and generally ar filled with teams with legitimate star QBs--QBs that can take their team on their back and win a game by sheer force of will. Kolb isn't that guy.

Yes, we have the defense to put us up there...if we had the QB.

What the Cards have done to open this season is impressive. REALLY impressive. But you think they're a top-3 team and say that not homerism with a straight face? Wow. Remind me never to play poker with you.

I go into power rankings with the assumption that we're speaking about THIS season and these 2 games played. In which case, some of the elite QBs like PEyton and Brees are playing like garbage.

In these 2 games, disregard its the "Arizona Cardinals", this TEAM has come up with the 2 biggest wins in the NFL. Period. The only thing stopping us from being #1 is the fact we didnt dominate.


Texans at #2? Their 2 games have been softballs. Weve beaten 2 potential playoff contenders already.


The main reason we are hovering in the teens is because its the Cardinals.

If this was a blind taste test where the voters didnt know the team name, only the accomplishments on paper, you dont think wed be at least #2?

I wouldn't go top three (top five maybe) BUT if we are 3-0 Monday morning I'm there with you on that top 3.

Why not? Im serious.


Whos above us:

1. 49ers because theyve been dominant in their wins.

2....

Texans? Who the heck have they played?

Eagles? Friggin almost lost to the Browns.

We beat 2 very good teams, have a top 3 defense, probably #1 special teams. Why the heck is it crazy to say we should be #2 or 3?

Because the top teams in the NFL don't have QB problems. And, I'm not yet sold on our line; they've played better, but it's still suspect.
