Ironman's NFL Power Rankings
-
Ironman92More of a what have you done so far with figuring in injuries. The cream will rise.
1. Chiefs (4-0)...look good and healthy. Smith at his peak. Houston healthy on defense and Hunt killing it
2. Falcons (3-1) assuming Jones and Sanu missing 2nd half cost them. If they are injured and out....Falcons aren't 2nd best
3. Packers (3-1) not greatly healthy and maybe too high but Aaron Rodgers
4. Panthers (3-1) wins @NE and Buffalo. Saints game makes this look silly but I like this team.
5. Bills (3-1)....I do not believe they are the 5th best team but wins @Falcons and vs Broncos are strong on resume
6. Steelers (3-1) Vulnerable for upsets...Steelers are healthy and looking strong now. Bears game was awful but without Watt and Tuitt. Shazier is really coming on great.
7. Rams (3-1) McVey looking great as a coach. We'll see how this plays out.
8. Patriots (2-2) another loss Thurs night and they may not be top 15, but not counting them out
9. Detroit (3-1) they look good, defense solid
10. Eagles (3-1) I think this division is tight top to bottom, doesn't look that way now though.
11. Broncos (3-1) good start. I don't believe this is a playoff team
12. Cowboys (2-2) not looking like their team did last year
13. Seahawks (2-2) hard for me to believe they aren't very good, but so far they haven't been
14. Buccaneers (2-1) I like this team. Winston is smart and just gets it done.
15. Texans (2-2) Watson looking good and confident.
16. Jaguars (2-2) I know they beat Texans bad. Play Steelers next and usually play them well. Could be biggest surprise team...could go 5-11
17. Redskins (2-2) probably too low. I like this team as well.
18. Vikings (2-2) need Bradford...with him healthy they play Steelers much tighter
19. Titans (2-2) disappointing start but still think this team is fighting for AFC South or WC
20. Raiders (2-2) Carr out 4-6 weeks. I thought they were SB contenders to start season
21. Saints (2-2) they don't look bad and waxed the Panthers
22. Ravens (2-2) they don't look as great on defense and offense is bad
23. Cardinals (2-2)....they actually might be too low but suspect they'll be in this area all season
24. Jets (2-2) not as bad as I thought they would be
25. Bengals (1-3) offense is back on track and they are better than top 25....we'll see soon how much better
26. Bears (1-3) Trubisky is up. Running game not bad
27. Colts (1-3) need their franchise QB
28. Dolphins (1-2) they are likely better than this but just seem to max out at meh
29. Giants (0-4) tough schedule so far. Eli won't struggle all year and WR core is solid but Marshall needs to play and help out
30. Chargers (0-4) tough division but Rivers will get them to 5+ wins
31. 49ers (0-4) they bad
32. Browns (0-4) looked decent against Steelers but going the wrong direction

A lot of damn back and forth. ThanksLaley23;1874943 wrote:Moved this for you to proper forum, ya big dummy. -
friendfromlowryDisagree on the Chargers getting to 5+ wins still.
Possible wins:
--Giants next week
--Raiders in two weeks with Carr out
--Browns
--Jacksonville, anything is possible.
--New York Jets -
Ironman92
It's still so early though. I think Chargers only team in NFL history to start 0-4 and make the playoffs. Out of conference games are always crazy unpredictable. They may not get to 5. I think they lose at Giants this weekfriendfromlowry;1874957 wrote:Disagree on the Chargers getting to 5+ wins still.

saltoPackers, Eagles and Bengals are too high. Bears are too low.

I'm not soundly on Packers wagon that there are that good. Eagles like many others....time will tell. I could be ok with Bengals being a bit higher.salto;1876755 wrote:Packers, Eagles and Bengals are too high. Bears are too low.
Bears are hard to argue much higher -
Ironman92Eagles top 4 at least after last night's big win

I'm not generally a "hindsight" type of guy. I really liked Carson Wentz as the top QB in that draft but was fine with the Browns trading out for more picks. Each game he plays, I'm becoming less & less "fine" with it. I really don't care that they passed on Deshaun Watson but I did really like Wentz. Right now, in Vegas (I know it's still early), Wentz is projected #4 in the MVP race behind Rodgers, Brady & Alex Smith.Ironman92;1877210 wrote:Eagles top 4 at least after last night's big win -

Yes, winning helps. Not getting a great feel the Ravens are very good (like everyone else it seems)salto;1877492 wrote:Today help?
I do like the Bears ability to run.
Results this week are going to move around teams a decent bit.

friendfromlowryGoing to wait and see if Denver wins because a top-5 ranking may be on the line for them but how far does Green Bay fall without Rodgers? Out of the top ten? Out of the top 15?

Assuming they won’t be nearly as good but will assume them some credit and at 4-2 might remain top 10friendfromlowry;1877506 wrote:Going to wait and see if Denver wins because a top-5 ranking may be on the line for them but how far does Green Bay fall without Rodgers?

friendfromlowryWinner of tonight's game will get a spot in top five, especially Philadelphia. I think the traditional powers will start to separate themselves from the rest of the pack. Patriots, Steelers, Seahawks, maybe Dallas. Still really interested to see what Buffalo and LA Rams will amount to as the season progresses. And Jacksonville.
