Latest power rankings we are 4th and the Broncos are 3rd. Its weird we are not 25th by now.

Also the Panthers and Bengals victories have been much more impressive than the Broncos in my opinion.

I meant usually EsPN would drop us as soon as we lost a game, this year its not happening. They seem to have more faith in us than the people in this board. 25 was an exaggeration

We fell to 9th in the poll that I saw earlier today. Feels a bit generous, coming off a loss to a team as depleted as Pitt was.

Go Cards!!!

I'd rather be 25th than 4th. This team doesn't deserve to be catered to this much.

My only guess is that they checked in here and saw I had the Cards 4th and ran with it :D.

Preferring to be under the radar is a sign of battered fan syndrome and severe superstition. Trust me, I know, I am an Arizona alum.

That being said, probably still ranked high because everyone in the world saw us get hosed by the zebras and that this team has so much talent that it is only a matter of time before the mental mistakes disappear and the tea becomes a destructive juggernaut.

Most people don't see losing to the Steelers in Pittsburgh as a bad loss.

But then you're reminded that old man Vick and a 3rd string QB were leading said Steelers, and it becomes very obvious this was a bad loss.

I'm not happy about the loss at all. It was a bad loss. But, the Steelers get massive amounts of respect no matter who they have out there.

so being above the radar makes it harder to win? please explain..

who said it does?

How about you explain how someone preferring to be under the radar makes them not a fan? Or less of a fan than you Mr fan of the year?

no need to call me names. My original comment is directed at the comment of how the cards should be 25th, and not 4th. If you are a true fan of any team how do you not celebrate any/all success that team garners.

Being ranked #4 on the power rankings is not a time to discount the team's success, no matter how bad the game before. It just seems very "pouty" to me. If you have trouble understanding this, feel free to PM me.

After you said someone is not a fan for not wanting media attention?

You are all over the map sir. You can root for your team in the way you wish, so can others. When you start calling out others that they are not as big as a fan of you because they root differently it simply makes you seem bitter.
