Peter King is a bias idiot

[dfense]

I really could care less about Power poles and the like. It's just a single persons opinion. But I just had to laugh at reading MMQB. Not only does he take his usual shots at the Cowboys stadium, but his top 15 teams list is a complete joke.

What's up with the man-love he has for the Jets coach? Three losses in a row, losing to Buffalo, mishandling a gimme field goal to win it against a pathetic Bills team that's playing a second string QB at home. Yet they are a top 15 team?????

Houston? What ???

Miami ? What??? What, is any 2-2 or 2-3 team better than having to put the Cowboys in the top 15? They lost to two undefeated teams that you have as top 5 in the league.

The Eagles just lost to a team you described as embarassingly inept. Not even scoring a TD.

I'd like to know why it's a organization in peril when the Cowboys lose a close game. Yet the Giants get shellacked and it's just an off day. I especially liked your column after the Denver loss when you had the coach of the week, Defensive player of the week and offensive player of the week, all Denver.

Zero nutrallity there Pete.

Oh yeah, Ravens lost a third in a row to. I know, off day again.

Just go beat the Falcons this week and the entire outlook of the season will change.


This league is so week to week you just never know.


Thats why you gotta follow what Parcells always said. Dont let your highs get to high and your lows get to low.


For us fans we get to high and to low. Hopefully the players dont and we go out and smash atlanta this week.

That's about the size of it.

I don't know see why the Cowboys should be ranked in the top-15 of anyone's list.

Beat a decent team and the view changes.

I emailed Peter King about this after I saw miaim, houston, and the jets on the list. Even if he doesn't think we have a better team, we have a better record and thats all that matters. I guess the titans are also better than us even though they lost all of their games.

 

[RoadRunner]

He has hated Dallas since they knocked his beloved 49ers out of their dynasty and started one of our own. He can't let it go, and he allows this to influence his work.

It doesn't seem like you could care less.

Nevertheless, great advice from others. Just win baby and everything else takes care of itself.

I agree. I do not think the Jets should not be in top 15 team, but I did not read were he took a shot at Cowboy Stadium. He actualy said good things about it in the article, unless it was in the video, which I did not see.

 

[TheCount]

Eh, I gave up caring about this type of stuff a long time ago but considering the Jets beat a team that just won a game 59 - 0, I'd say they deserve to be in the Top 15. Granted, it seems like that was their superbowl, but they also played the Saints pretty tough despite the final score, and the Saints destroyed the paper champion Giants.

 

[tomson75]

Power poles?

Simmer down Sigmund!

 

[TellerMorrow34]

My only question is why you even bother listening to or reading anything Peter King has to say? The guy is one of the dumbest people to cover sports.

Parcells' problem was that he did let his lows get too low.

Sounds like you carry a bit too much about what other think, dfense...Who's Peter King anyway?...And would the power poll or credit in a blog or net article amount to?...Nada

Win and win on the field, the rest is fodder

Maybe I do. All the constant debbie downer talk is starting to get to me

 

[Eldorado]

Yeah, but I bet he knows how to correctly place adjectives and make them agree with the noun.

Just kidding.

Kinda'.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

King and a lot of these writers use these things to kiss their buddies' and sources' arses. He's a New York guy so there's your Ryan love, and we know he's a long-time Parcells butt smoocher.

I doubt he has much connection with the Cowboys, massive tubs of extra-butter popcorn notwithstanding. Remember the flap a couple of years ago where he quoted Wade as saying Spygate was a smudge on the Pats' reputation and Wade vehemently denying he said any such thing.

Mosley does the same thing with these power polls. He was downright indignant when someone suggested the Giants might lose to the Saints yesterday, even though everyone knew the Saints were very good and have an incredible home field advantage.

 

[The30YardSlant]

He's right about one thing: We are not a top 15 team this season.

Peter King's Mailbag


Actually it's the Nice Nineteen this week.

1. New Orleans (5-0). I'm not sure, but I think the 60 minutes the Saints played Sunday was the best all-around 60 minutes of football any team has played this year.

2. Minnesota (6-0). Brett Favre's never been 6-0 before.

3. Indianapolis (5-0). The schedule-maker's nice to the Caldwellmen when they return off their bye: at St. Louis, then a three-game homestand (Niners, Texans, Pats).

4. Denver (5-0). Remember when we talked about the brutal midseason slate Denver had this year? It's still there. Tonight's game in San Diego is the last in October, before a bye. Denver's games in the first 26 days of November are: at Baltimore, Pittsburgh, at Washington, San Diego, New York Giants (short week, Thanksgiving).

5. New England (4-2). Either the Tennessee Titans are Secaucus High, or the Patriots might have taken their first snowy steps back to prominence Sunday.

6. New York Giants (5-1). Abysmal, pathetic, awful in all ways. Also just one game, against football's best team.

7. Atlanta (4-1). After the bye, they've beaten the Niners by 35 on the road and had an impressive Sunday night win over the Bears. And that loss to New England now doesn't look so bad, does it?

8. Pittsburgh (4-2). It is a mark of how good Ben Roethlisberger is that he threw for 417 yards, with two touchdowns, and no one noticed. It's becoming routine.

9. Green Bay (3-2). Aaron Rodgers completed passes (29 of them) to nine receivers Sunday. It's fitting that 34-year-old Donald Driver was the one to lead them. Seven catches, 107 yards, giving him 602 career catches, setting the Packers' all-time record. Hallowed ground: more catches than Don Hutson and Sterling Sharpe.

10. Chicago (3-2). It wasn't enough to make him Goat of the Week, but Orlando Pace had a blunder that went a long way toward losing this game for his new team. On fourth-and-one from the Atlanta five with 34 seconds left, quarterback Jay Cutler barked the signals in a loud Georgia Dome, and Pace leaped across the line -- as though he had the signal wrong. Fourth-and-six. Instead of running Matt Forte or throwing a two-yard curl to one of his tight ends, Cutler had to gain some real real-estate, and his fourth-down pass into traffic wasn't close.

11. Cincinnati (4-2). Go figure the Bengals. Can't stand prosperity.

12. Baltimore (3-3). I'm tempted to throw them out of the Fine Fifteen entirely. But with 10 minutes to go at the Metrodome, they were down 27-10, and they scored 21 points in the next seven minutes to take the lead against a formidable Minnesota defense. The Ravens are not the same on defense this year -- their corners are killing them -- but I still think this team has a good chance to rebound and make something of its season.

13. San Diego (2-2). Seems like about two months since the Chargers played. Actually it's been 15 days.

14. (tie) Philadelphia (3-2). Anyone wondering if just maybe Kevin Kolb would have played a better game in Oakland than Donovan McNabb?

14. (tie) San Francisco (3-2). Hope Mike Singletary had a fire-and-brimstone chat with his defense before it left for the bye weekend.

14. (tie) Miami (2-3). Not sure how long they'll be here. Next three games: vs. Saints, at Jets, at Pats. As that noted football analyst Scooby Doo would say, "Ruh-Roh.''

14. (tie) Arizona (3-2). If the Cards would be consistent, I'd know what to do with them. Of course, can't you say that about every team but the top three or four in here?

14. (tie) Houston (3-3). As I waited to speak with Matt Schaub Sunday after the game via phone, Texans media czar Tony Wyllie said to me, "Hold on. I'm going to put the NFL touchdown leader on the phone.'' He's right: Schaub 14, Brees 13, Peyton Manning 12, Brady 12, Favre 12.

14. (tie) New York Jets (3-3). Bigger crash: Stock market in '08, Jets in '09?
