NFL Power Rankings

[hawks85]

I rarely look at NFL.com's power rankings, but I did today. How the hell do you fall one spot on that list after winning a divisional game on the road. It makes no god damn sense to me whatsoever. Seattle was number 9 last week and now they are number 10.

The Cards also moved up a spot.

The Jets, who are the spot above, beat the Bills. It was in the papers.

Divisional Game at home vs a Divisional Game on the road. You generally can throw records out the window during divisional games. The teams are often more equally matched since they spend all offseason building a team to beat their rivals.
But what ever. When we beat the Jets we'll settle it then.

Power Rankings are weird. The 49ers are #6 at 4-4 and they are ahead of the 7-1 Vikings at #7. All you can do is beat the team in front of you.

Your guess is as good as mine. I can't remember the last time a 7-1 team got this much disrespect. Probably the Kirk Cousins affect.

The rankings do appear to be screwy, but if you told me at the beginning of this season we would be ranked in the top 10 halfway through the schedule I would have been downright ecstatic about it.

All of these polls are by writers with all their preconceived notions just like what we had here on .net. Cant change their view. Are lazy, and not worth giving the click bait to.

Difference is they are not Hawk lovers as we are.

NUF SAID!

The only ranking I give a crap about is W-L in the division, I like Seattle sitting at the top. All other "rankings" are foolish and useless.

We arent ranking rosters......

I always say --- if you don't like someone's subjective list, just make your own. It is equally valuable.

Luckily the folks that did the ranking do not play the game, our coaches and players do.

The problem is that out of all places, NFL.com should be the least biased. I get if SI or ESPN have some wacky rankings based on biases or straight up lack of knowledge of the teams(ie lazy reporting), but NFL.com is the one place that theoretically should set the standard for objectionably knowledge based rankings.

Theoretically, yes.

In practice?

I got us in the Top 5. Eagles, KC, Buff, Hawks, Dallas. And really Buffalo is dealing with the QG overpay problem. KC too.

Few things are more true.
