[Chizzang]

NFL Power Ranking Heading into Week 9

/// The top 4
1) New England Patriots
2) Denver Broncos
3) Cincinnati Bengals
4) Carolina Panthers

/// Strong but with issues / Likely to finish season with double digits in win column
5) Arizona Cardinals
6) Green Bay Packers
7) Minnesota Vikings
8) Atlanta Falcons

In the mix - could go either way:
Sink back -or- rise to the top / capable of going on a run of wins

9) Saint Louis Rams / Have beaten some good teams
10) Oakland Raiders / Played the powerful Broncos to the final minute
11) NY Giants / Their loses mostly could have gone either way
12) New Orleans Saints / Now Rolling
13) Seattle Seahawks / Tough but sneaking buy

NFL Power Rankings ((Heading into Week 10)

The Undefeated:
1) New England Patriots
2) Cincinnati Bengals
3) Carolina Panthers

Tough to Beat... Win consistently
4) Denver Bronco's
5) Arizona Cardinals
6) Minnesota Vikings

Better than their Record...
7) Green Bay Packers

Not as good as their record...
8) NY Jets
9) Atlanta Falcons


Injuries will kill their chances:

Minnesota / If Bridgewater is out for a while they might struggle
Pittsburgh / If Big Ben is gone for another month they are done

[Grizalltheway]

The Puckers should unequivocally be in the "not as good as their record" category.

Meh...
They look like a 12-4 team to me
Its hard to win back to back road games against top division leaders in the NFL

It's another thing to get bent the fuck over by both

That Carolina game was not that close

Okay so who are they going to lose to over the next 8 games..?
The Green Bay Packers finish the season 12-4 with a home playoff game



trust me on this... I'm a professional

I once read:
"During an average NFL season you'll see just about everything you never thought you'd see happen, happen.."

Well It's pretty much all happened

[kalm]

This just in:

Russel Wilson is really good. He's completing nearly 80% of his passes the last three games, has thrown 2 td's, and has run for another today.

How not to beat the Hawk's D...4 straight penalties to have it 1st and 40. Oh...and Peterson has like 20 yards on 10 rushes.

[kalm]

Wilson just ran one in from 50 yards. Called back for holding so he turns around and throws a 50 yarded to Baldwin on the next play.

17-21, 233 yards 3 td's, 1 rushing.

35-7 Hawks.

[kalm]

Bump.

With the Bills and Pats remaining, the Jets have a tougher path than the Steelers or the Chiefs.

The NFC is pretty much locked up and playing for position.

[CID1990]

Panthers aren't pretty but they keep finding ways to win

[tribe_pride]

Bump.

The NFC is pretty much locked up and playing for position.

Plus even if they win out, Jets need help by having either Steelers or Chiefs lose (or having the Chiefs overtake the Broncos for the Division)

NFC is basically locked up except for the NFC East

[CAA Flagship]

Bump.

Except for the NFC Mid-Atlantic. All three teams with a shot. And not unreasonable ones.

My bad. I forgot about finding out where the wildcard round bye will be held.

Until yesterday. Need a win next Sunday against Tampa to ensure home field in the playoffs. The streak was fun, but I'd rather they lose now than later. Arizona may be playing the best of anyone right now.

As Eli showed last week and Ryan yesterday, if the QB can get protection, you can torch Carolina's secondary. Josh Norman is highly overrated. Julio Jones abused him like a runaway slave yesterday.

When Julio is healthy (which he is finally) he cannot be single covered by ANYBODY - period
A basic "over under" style double coverage would have worked fine

The Panthers will not make that mistake again
They played something like a Nickle 40 and it didn't really work
and they did not adjust much away from that

This (below) Standard over under double (see bottom wide out coverage)
would have worked fine

[dbackjon]

1. Patriots
2. Packers






the rest

GB lost the very next game to DETROIT, two weeks later to CHICAGO

Opened the thread for the first time since November, having not realized it had been that long.

This was the first unread post.

AND bent over, like the bitches that they are, by Arizona.

At least when Minnesota loses to teams like Denver and Arizona it's competitive.

They can also manage to beat the dog shit that is the bottom two of the NFC North

He was double covered on his 70 yd TD reception yesterday, Mr. 12-4 Packer fan.

Actually I'm not much of a Packers fan - in fact they are damn near my least favorite team
I simply "believe" in their system, however it is failing them this season which I find very surprising

Missing your top wide out should not sink the ship as it has for them this season
Jordy Nelson should re-negotiate his contract
because apparently they are damn near a .500 team without him

One Hail Mary and a weak schedule away from mediocre...

Julio was double covered a few times but pro-football focus says on only 14 snaps

[clenz]

The reason Rodgers was always so effective throwing those bombs on the run is because they were to one of the best security blankets in the league, Nelson. He isn't there for that anymore. Scrambling lanes are still there but not as big. Teams aren't afraid of any of those WR in one on one situations down field of the play breaks down.

The again, I'm not the professional. Just a guy who has followed the NFC North extremely close his entire life.

[kalm]

AJ McCarron throws a damn nice ball.
