ESPN top ten rankings

[BK]

1. Raiders 3-0 Silver and Black attack scored from all directions.

2. Chargers 4-0 Marty & LaDainian Tomlinson a perfect match.

3. Broncos 3-0 Looking to remain perfect Monday night at Baltimore.

4. Patriots 3-1 For second straight week, run defense takes a day off.

5. Dolphins 3-1 Forget looking ahead to Pats. Chiefs are that good.

6. Eagles 3-1 A little more difficult than expected in rout of Texans.

7. Saints 3-1 Dug another 20-0 hole, but fell short vs. Lions.

8. 49ers 2-1 A week off to prepare for ending the Rams' hex.

9. Packers 3-1 Defense is iffy, but QB Brett Favre keeps them going.

10. Panthers 3-1 John Fox may be looking for his fourth placekicker.

1. Raiders were AWESOME, nothing else can be said. Wish we would have been a little tighter on D in the 3rd and 4th quarter, but you don't want to totally embarass the Titans, I guess

Number one ranking is deserved, and its about time the press gives the respect!

I think the early scoring threw our offense a little out of synch,not being on the field for most of the first qtr took us out of any steady rythym. The final result is what counts, we let them play their game , but when it counted we smacked them in the mouth ........52 points wow !

Go Raiders. The game vs. Buffalo looks to be a tough one. I think the running game will figure prominently in that one.

That's an interesting look at the top ten. The only top ten that matters is the one after week 17 -- when playoff teams are set.

[Mr.Murder]

the only reason they do that is to for teams to get bet on the vegas line... lotsa patsy-rots fans had their team pencilied in at least as playoff team, too bad...the Pats and Broncs had streaks end and begin with us didnt they... teams we beat usually lost the next week except for theJjets (who were double figure wins and round 2 playoffs minus the Oakland games) and the Titans ( we scored so many points on that team the law of averages helped them to win the next few, zen laws of chaos equaled out after the darkside appearances)...
It is new season anyways, maybe the reason our team has faith in so many vet players is because they know a season is longer than 4 games... the long haul takes effort.
