Chase might be my least favorite WR in football right now. So entitled for achieving moderate success.

Delay of game on Hurts for spiking the ball is outrageous.

It’s a bit much


Hurts running saved that drive. Falcons could be in trouble now, they were looking game

Falcons can’t do 4th and 1 and Eagles can

Teams don’t look much different

Scripted.

Eagles be able to get into FG range I wonder with 34 seconds and 2 timeouts? Falcons drive the field in no time with no friction. Sure

This one makes a lot of sense, 0-2 Bengals/Ravens ahead of 2-0 Yinzers and 1-1 Browns.... Meanwhile, two of the teams that beat the Rats and Bengals are in the bottom 6...smdh

That’s from last week, BR. This is the latest one. I was looking at yours losing my mind, like why in the fuck did Miami and Los Angeles jump so much after getting obliterated.

But your point still stands. These rankings are too much what they think teams will be, not what they currently are. Bengals and Ravens especially shouldn’t be in the top 20. Baltimore doesn’t look good at the moment, the media can stop blowing them.

Baltimore goes into a pissed off Dallas this week. Decent chance they could be 0-3. Bengals will get off the schneid, Browns should win and I'd expect Pittsburgh to take it's first "L" this week. Standings should be 2-1 Browns/Steelers, 1-2 Bengals and (possibly) 0-3 Rats.

Also, the Rats/Bengals both played the best team in the league (Chiefs) tough and pissed down their legs against inferior teams so maybe that's what's getting them consideration. Bengals outplayed KC and their (Bengals) D-Coordinator seems to have Reid/Mahomes number. KC likely doesn't want to see them again this year.

That makes marginally more sense, since I looked at BR's and was wondering how Dallas went up 3 spots after getting killed by New Orleans.

Still, this seems like one of "those" polls. Where a person makes their list based on their personal preseason opinions and refuses to let go of that no matter what happens during the season until so many games have been played that there's no way to pretend the preseason stuff was right OR something so big happens that something has to change (ie: that NO-Dal game). You know, the sort where a team gets put either high or low and only gets moved up or down a couple spots, so an 0-2 team can be above a 2-0 team because the original vibe about them matters more than actual results.

Last year only counts and expectations only count….if you win!

1. Chiefs…Sept don’t matter much

2. Texans…good at all facets 

3. Saints….earned it so far

4. Bills….Allen looks very motivated

5. Buccaneers….give credit where it’s due

6. Vikings….chip is on that QB shoulder

7. Steelers….pressure on QB is elite

8. Chargers…looking good, Harbaugh won’t be unsuccessful 

9. Seahawks…Geno looks great

10. 49ers…not looking clean, like Chiefs but lost

11. Cardinals….yes, then…this year’s Texans

12. Lions….lowest they’ll be all year

13. Falcons…Cousins with time looked good. Running game solid

14. Eagles….coach better man

15. Raiders….yep

16. Packers…need Love back

17. Cowboys….might be 1-2 after this week

18. Browns….lowest they’ll be. Defense good

19. Bengals… lowest they’ll be all year

20. Bears…not buying

21. Jets….not buying

22. Dolphins….need a QB

23. Patriots….kinda look like the Steelers but an L

24. Ravens….they’ll be fine. Will beat Cowboys

25. Colts…don’t look bad

26. Jaguars….missing something

27. Redskins…leading the division 😁

28. Titans… meh

29. Broncos….not good

30. Rams…lost both big time WR

31. Giants….so bad

32. Panthers….Jesus

Dammit ironman, stealing my thunder.

1. Chiefs. Tempted to put Buffalo here but remembered that i said Chiefs are #1 til they lose.
2. Bills. Impressive win Thursday night. Should be 3-0 after MNF against Jacksonville.
3. Saints. Offense looks good, they meet Philly this week.
4. Buccaneers. Baker Mayfield!
5. Texans. I think Houston rounds out the top five, but they could be higher.
6. 49ers. Still very talented top to bottom. Won't let an early, unexpected loss drop them too much.
7. Eagles. Same as the 49ers. 
8. Lions. Same as the 49ers.
9. Steelers. People are skeptical because of the offense. But theyre 2-0 with both wins on the road, and host the Chargers this Sunday and Herbert (ankle) didnt practice today.
10. Chargers. They've had an easy road to 2-0. I don't like their chances for this Sunday.
11. Vikings. What's the reward for upsetting the 49ers? This is their new few weeks: home Texans, at Packers, home Jets, bye, at Lions. Won't be easy. 
12. Seahawks. Took overtime to beat New England. I don't know if they're contenders yet. 
13. Cowboys. I got to this point and realized I didn't have Dallas listed yet. But thats okay. They just lost by 25 points. 
14. Packers. Impressive win without Love and he could be back sooner than later.
15. New York Jets. Should be 2-1 after Thursday night football.
16. Browns. Watson looked better but not there yet. They'll be 2-1 after Sunday as well.
17. Cardinals. What a turnaround! Can they do it again?
18. Falcons. I think that win jumped them up 6 spots vs had they lost. 
19. Commanders. GET READY TO BE THE BENGALS FIRST WIN THIS MONDAY JERKS.
20. Patriots. Took overtime to almost be 2-0. Can they upset the Jets tomorrow?
21. Bengals. Looked much better. Need to start reeling off some wins.
22. Ravens. The Ravens hopefully will be 0-3 Sunday and i'm here for it. 
23. Raiders. Starting to lose interest in this.
24. Bears. Williams hasn't looked super so far.
25. Dolphins. Tua to IR. Season is in danger.
26. Jaguars. One touchdown for Lawrence through two games so far. Seems low for $55 million dollar salary this season. 
27. Colts. Houston rushed for 213 yards week one. Green Bay rushed for 261 week two. Awful. Oh and Richardson looked really bad last week.
28. Rams. Similar to Miami, but worse.
29. Broncos. Bo Nix hasn't been great so far, and they're 0-2 heading to Tampa this weekend. Watch them win somehow.
30. Titans. What will Levis do this week? Throw a between the legs pass that gets intercepted?
31. New York Giants. Stupid.
32. Panthers. I was looking back at a group chat between my family from 2022 and we were all amazed how bad Carolina was then. Two years later they may actually look worse.

Yours is better but on mine all 2-0 above all 1-1 and all 1-1 above 0-2….and that’s misleading early on but eff everyone refusing to give a team credit for a good win and the powers lose no clout losing

Every game can add or take away a bit.

Patriots beat Bengals…..Bengals then looked way better at Chiefs… Jets beat Patriots


Jets marginally move up that very tight list from #8 to #24
