NFL Power Rankings: Week 9 Edition

[LambeauLegs]

All true. Of course, they didn’t actually score, but if they did, it still only would have been tied.

Not if they would have scored on the 1st and goal with 4 tries and at the end when there was the interception as that would have been 2 scores and a win

A lot of “if”s there. If the Eagles converted on all their 3rd and 4th downs, I’m sure they would have scored more as well.

The Chargers ahead of the Steelers is an interesting one, how did you come to that conclusion?

You have the Eagles too low...

I think he put them that low so as to avoid ANY sense of homerism.

He wants to maintain the integrity of this poll.

Rest of season, I think the Chargers are the better team. Also, the teams that are 18-24 don’t have much separation between them in my mind.

Exactly! What kind of homer would I be if I was always ranking the Eagles higher than they should be ranked?

The whole point is you quoted the reason the Eagles won was because the Packer D failed against the run, I disagree pointing out 2 failures on the offense which was early in the season still learning the new offense as reasons for the loss and as I said would be up for a rematch anytime. Maybe if you can somehow win the division that could happen in the playoffs.

Steelers beat them with 3rd string QB on road, lost to Ravens in OT, lost by 2 to Seahawks with BB getting hurt and by 4 to 9ers on the road with 2nd string QB....Thought this was weekly ranking, now it’s based on entire season?

It is a combination of past, present, and expected future performance. Teams in the AFC North have not rated highly the entire season.

Perhaps we’ll se it happen. I would welcome the opportunity to beat you guys twice this season.

Do you really think the Eagles are going to have to worry about that?

No, because they will obviously be at 12 wins...duh...

Another great job by @knowyourenemy More importantly thank you to the Packers and Rams fans in this thread for still not getting it and getting upset over the rankings and comments. These threads wouldn't be nearly as much fun without these responses.

The Cowboys smoked this bitch ass #9 squad already.

FIFY.

 

[ATL96Steeler]

your rankings are fun. mine would be quite a bit different. the biggest discrepancy would probably be in the colts. . they have eeked out a lot of wins against some questionable competition. i think they are an average type of team that has some magic going on this season and may be able to get to 10 or 11 wins with some more good fortune but, in reality, they should be an 8-win team.

They are fun.

My top 10 was a lot like his...I think I have IND 7th. PHI I have like 14th, but I feel a lot like you do about IND. In fact I'm giving PIT good chance to beat them this week. They don't do anything great consistently, but they don't do anything terrible either. The game vs KC was eye opening though...also...the targets are so uniform aside from Hilton that you really can't key on anyone, but note that they like the TEs.

Packers fans still want to bitch and moan?

Steelers fans do.

 

[knowyourenemy]

Steelers fans do.

Yeah. They are rounding into form. It appears that I’ve underrated the AFC North.

U haven’t.

I don't know about anyone else, but I am very much looking forward to the week 10 edition.
