Power Rankings: Week 11

Good point RG. Redskins/Cowboys games never seem to follow the script

True. Then we can break the tie for the year.  The only thing is...would you want home field advantage knowing that the home team has always lost?

it could be sooner than that... We could still meet in the NFC Championship...

Thanks Iron Man.  I'm a firm believer in both living it up when you win and taking your lumps when you lose.  You have to be willing to do both though; that's the critical part.  If you talk big when your team wins and then disappear or make excuses when your team loses you're just a little punk.  I'm no punk.

The first victory over Dallas was especially glorious because nobody saw it coming; people were ready to hand Dallas the superbowl trophy and those same people were ready to put the Redskins on the clock for the first pick of the draft next year after that Giants loss.  So yeah I lived it up and I'm not too ashamed of rubbing it in.  It's part of the rivalry and was intended in good fun.

But now my team has demonstrated that they are an average to slightly above average team after all.  I am fully willing to sleep in the bed I've made and suck it up.  I bear no malice for anyone who wants to gloat over your triumph and I hope you don't hold it against me if I do the same if the Redskins win next year.  That's why we have a rivalry. 

Anyway I hope that explains my actions and viewpoint a little better.  I'm sorry if I went too far; being compared to Ian is not a pleasant experience.  Just remember how much sweeter last week's victory was for you because I was there being a jackass earlier in the season.  Just know that after the game I had to spend hours driving home with a cowboys fan in the car while a terrible hangover was starting to assert itself.  And you know what? I wouldn't take it back.  Victory would not be sweet if losses weren't painful. 

So next year we'll be back and ready to go again! And I'll still be here win or lose!

RG... i must admit i wanted you to be tortured and destroyed when you came on  here running your mouth after the Skins beat us at the begining of the year... It was un-like you..you were almost as bad as ian... But my respect for you has come back in a big way after seeing your sportmanship after this loss...

You and you alone... make me hate the Giants and Eagles more than the skins(for now)

*wince*
We did lose on the day Art Monk received his hall of fame ring. Still, that one makes me flinch just thinking about it. :)

I'm on your Jets wagon, Iron Man. Thomas Jones looks like a completely new player, Leon Washington is the 2nd fastest kid alive and their defense has forced 9 turnovers in the last 3 games. Favre should be glad that he came back. Aside from the Titans, the rest of the Jets schedule looks pretty favorable. I think they'll close out the season either 4-2 or 3-3, putting them at either 11-5 or 10-6 and in the playoffs.

I love bets, RG. One time, my friend bet another Cowboys fan that the Panthers would beat the Cowboys. The loser would have to paint the winning team's logo on his face and do a shotgun for every point his team lost by. Your fate involves less face paint and a lot less puking. My vote for your post is how Michael Irvin is the best receiver ever from the NFC East. You must point out how he's better than Art Monk.

Ya i thought hard about the Jets ranking... but i think that they are more solid than the Panthers, Steelers and Buccaneers...

I was tempted to put the Cowboys higher, but ill wait a little bit.

Let me add that if the Jets beat the Titans on Sunday, you will all be on my Jets wagon.

do it about why Jason Witten is the best player of all time... L hat would love that !!!

i think we would all agree that his man-crush is on Witten !! haha ...

mine is split 3 ways between WARE, MBIII, and ROMO!!

So guys...a bet is a bet.  I think I'm supposed to write something.  I honor my bets, but I need a topic.  The last suggestion I heard was "Why I'd want Jerry Jones to be my team's owner."  Should I stick with that or write something else?  Landry Hat is the final decision maker but I'm sure he'd welcome suggestions from the peanut gallery.  :)

Yeah I disagreed with a few of his ranks. But it all can be argued. I'd put the COwboys at 10th. Stop drinking the Kool Aid

I think the JETS at 3 is a little TOO high. They are better suited for 7th or 8th.
1-Titans
2-Giants
3-Steelers
4-Panthers
5-Cowboys
