“Why does the subjective rating of one NFL team compared to another move folks to anger?” a fan named Aron Galonsky tweeted to Bob Glauber of Newsday this week after another fan had complained vociferously about Bob’s rating of New England over Cincinnati.
“I do not know,” Bob tweeted back.
Very good question and a very good answer. It’s an exchange that makes me wonder why we bother to rate teams every week when the NFL, unlike major college football, has playoffs and a Super Bowl. Actually, I sort of know the answer because when I started in the business, an editor told me “people love lists,” something I’ve learned on my own over the years.
Which gets me to this week’s top and bottom six and, coincidentally, why I might rate New England higher than Cincinnati this week. (I’m still thinking about it as I write this.)
