NFL Power Rankings Round Up: Week Six

by Andrew602 on Oct 19, 2010 1:11 PM MDT in NFL Power Rankings

Most of the NFL power rankings have been released today except for a few. The Cardinals average around 20th. I can expect that after their average start to the season. If they can grind out a win in Seattle they will be in prime place to take a lead in the division. In the meantime, many experts aren't sold on the Cardinals -- yet.

Fox Sports - 19th

For this team to win going forward, they will have to find a way to run the ball better. The coaches need to get second-year RB Chris "Beanie" Wells more involved at the beginning of each game.

ESPN - 18th

Cardinals surprisingly lost ground in the NFC West race during their bye week.

Pro Football Weekly - 19th

Max Hall might find Seattle even louder than Salt Lake City.

CBS Sports - 20th

They come off a much-needed bye to get Max Hall more time as the starter. He's got a chance to be a good player, but now must make his first road start at Seattle. That will be tough.

NFL.com = A good laugh. If you want to see where the Cardinals were ranked by some of the "experts", go here.

Walter Football - 27th

The Cardinals didn't play on Sunday, but the Rams, Seahawks and 49ers all won. After a 3-0 day, I don't think there's any doubt the NFC West is the best division in football.

What If Sports - 31st

21. Arizona Cardinals (No. 21; 3-2): The ultimate test of a team’s relevance? When on a bye, does anyone notice?

I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team(s), throughout the good and the bad. And don't switch to whichever team wins the Super Bowl each year.

pff

I don’t think anyone notices any team when they are on a bye unless it has to do with FF.

What? I didn't break it, I was just testing its durability, and then I placed it in the woods becuase it's made out of wood and I just thought he should be with his family.

You know what the Cards need to do?

In order to prepare to play in Seattle, they ought to go practice a few times at UoP stadium, crank those speakers up with piped-in crowd noise to a deafening loud volume so the players can get used to how Max operates on the road in a hostile environment. You probably wouldn’t be able to recreate that environment perfectly, but it could help.

I know they have ways to replicate it

But it isn’t the same.

I'm sure Max has been in a loud stadium before...

The Oklahoma game from his senior year was at that monstrosity in Dallas

Most of the people there were Sooners fans too.

Wait...

Whatifsports have our rankings at 22nd, unless I misread something. All the same, they’re expecting us to lose 15 – 24 to the Seahawks.

I also lol’d at some of the “experts” at NFL.com ranking us at 27th/28th.

Last I checked this was still a pro sport where who's best is decided by winning games.

This power ranking crap is college spillover b.s. Who gives a f***?

i was watching them today while "working"

and they are absolutely working with max hall on everything. i mean, for the 10 minutes i saw, i saw him throw every ball. deep, right shoulder, hitch. his accuracy is amazing in practice and i just hope he can continue that. on one play, he threw a pretty ball to fitz in the back of the endzone and it was a throw we’ve been accustomed to seeing with kurt.
