Week 6 Power Rankings
It's week 6.
The Niners are 5-1, but until they play an elite team they're barely a top 10 team in the league. The win in Detroit gets them in the spotlight, but how they handle it is yet to be seen. Plus, they play in the worst division in professional sports. And I'm not so sure Alex Smith wont have a Rex Grossman-esque implosion. Not to mention Frank Gore's constant battle with injuries. I'll judge the Niners on what they can do against the Ravens on Thanksgiving.
The Giants crumble every single year so I'm not buying them. Sorry. If anything, their win over Buffalo lessens my opinion of the Bills.
The 49ers need to be at least in the top 5. Wins over 4-2 Cincinnati, a win over Detroit (who you sill have ranked at 3 wtf), a 45 point victory over the Buccaneers, and a victory over the Eagles in Philly who you somehow have ranked at number 9, one spot ahead of the 9ers. Blasphemy.
Those 2 statements are exactly why those rankings don't make sense to me. You can't rank based on what you expect to happen.. you have to rank based on what actually occurred.
I mean, the Bengals at 22? Really? They're 4-2 and you think they're the 22nd best team in the league? They beat the Bills who you have ranked 6 and almost beat the 49ers. I just.. don't understand what league you've been watching.
how can the seahawks (2 wins) be behind the rams ( 0 wins), broncos(1 win) vikings (1 win and look horrible)the cardinals (1 win and the seahawks beat!) and the jags (1 win)?????
I wouldn't call a win over the Bengals or Buccs elite...sure the way they beat Tampa was impressive, but their front four is soft. They could barely hold the Colts' running game.
It's still too early for me to consider them one of the top 5 teams in the league. Sorry. Just because the Bills beat the Patriots in week 3 doesn't mean they're better than them. Same goes for San Fran's win over the Lions.
Yeah I agree with JL on this one. I'm a Giants fan and I know I'm biased but how can you have them at #18 when they are leading the NFC East? Your logic is flawed in that some of your justifications relate to what's current and the other half relate to what you think will happen.
Obviously this is a matter of opinion, but these rankings aren't based on who looked the best this week. It's my barometer of who the best teams are overall in the league and who looks like they'll be in the SuperBowl at year's end. If I had to draft each team from the NFL, this is the order I would draft them.
Every year there are teams that start off incredibly hot and then plummet to 8-8 records, the Broncos did it their first year with McDaniels. I'm skeptical of teams that don't look that good or haven't played that many good opponents. The Seahawks and Bengals have me incredibly skeptical. The Niners are starting to convince me, but its still only week 6. I don't doubt that they'll win their sorry division, but I'm still not sure they're one the league's best teams just because of 5 wins early this season.
So you're saying that if you had to order the NFL draft at this point, this is how you would list it? That makes sense then.
The EAGLES aren't gonna do shit , until they dump Mike ' man's best friend ' Vick . This asshat is the most over rated chump in history . Anyone can look great in College if you've got an offence designed to put the ball in your hands 90% of the time . Just ask Tim Tebow , with the EAGLE players believing the hype about them , they've forgotten to compete . GO PHILLY , AND TAKE THE EAGLES , FLYERS , PHILLIES ( SEEMS to be a trend in the city of brotherly love this year . The Phills and their 8 billion dollar payroll blew it as well ) AND 76ers WITH YOU !!
How the hell can you have the 5-1 Niners all the way at #10, 7 spots behind the team they just beat ON THE ROAD?!
The Giants at #18 after they beat your #6 ranked team?!
These rankings make no sense to me at all homie, sorry.
