The Rankings Are In

And hey, I'm a glass-half-full kinda guy. I do believe we're the highest rated 0-1 team.

I'll bet that the rankings are in. All who look at rankings rank last.

Who's worse? He who looks at ranking or he who trolls the rankings threads with muck in his heart?

Pass the ripple...

6. The NFC South could be a really interesting race this year. Based on Week 1, the Saints will have to fend off real challenges from both the Falcons and Panthers.

8. Think Matt Ryan is happy everyone's healthy? Ryan was 9-of-11 for 224 yards on throws at least 15 yards downfield Sunday. Nine completions were a career high.

First of all, these are ESPN rankings. Every site does their own. There isn't one consensus ranking like the BCS.

Second, the comments about each team are more interesting than any poll I have ever seen on B&G.

Funny we're ranked higher than the Falcons. Thats gotta really chap their ass.

The fact we're ranked in the top 10 with that defensive showing probably chaps their ass. Hell....it almost chaps mine. Lol.

I think the writers gave the Saints a little bit of leeway for the defense based on last year. Chalk it up to a bad game. It won't last long with the writers or any of the rest of us though. 23 missed tackles can't be the norm.

Normally we drop 2 spots in a week where we win...

Losing and dropping 1 spot?

Championship!!

PFF has corrected the number to 16.

Team - Season Total Missed Tackles
2013 77
2012 128
2011 102
2010 90
2009 90
2008 84
2007 82

Multiply the Atlanta game by 16 games and we would have 256 missed tackles... If we go off the original 23 its 368 missed tackles this season.

Even with PFF reducing their number on this pace 2014 would be > 2012+2011
