The Power Rankings Revision: NFL Week 8

    

    We're changing it again. First, we had me re-ranking the entire NFL Power Rankings list, but like i said before that shit takes way too long. Then I tried out doing the trending up and down list, and it was fine, but it can be even more varied than a power rankings list. So what we're gonna do is combine those together and go over the power rankings I think are bullshit, and then assign the proper ranking to the team I am talking about. Let's hope this one sticks, I felt like a genius when I thought of it. 

Ranked Too High

1. Buffalo Bills (4-3)

• NFL.com Ranking: 9
• MY Ranking: 16

    What are we doing here? The Bills are most definitely not the fucking NINTH best team in the league right now, there's just no way. Let's look at their past three games: Shit on by the Jaguars (ranked 6), barely escaped the Giants (ranked 30), and then upset by the Patriots (ranked 28). In case it isn't known, I'll make it clear: Top ten teams do not get rattled by bottom five teams. The Bills have looked lost in the woods for three weeks now, and honestly deserve to be 3-4, which I guarantee would've drastically affected their ranking. The defense is dead because everyone is hurt, and the offense just is not clicking at all. I strongly believe that AT LEAST the 10-15 ranked teams would embarrass the Bills the way they are currently playing.

2. San Francisco 49ers (5-2)

• NFL.com Ranking: 3
• MY Ranking: 8

    Not anymore they're not, they gotta earn that shit back. Whenever you lose two in a row, you should automatically be out of the top five. This should be that way because now if the 49ers lose another game, you can drop them five spots instead of ten. It's a week by week evaluation, and the Niners have been shitting the bed. Browns defense is incredible, so that one makes sense (kind of, the Browns offense shouldn't have been able to do anything against San Fran's defense). The Vikings on the other hand, made the 49ers look exposed. Yes the 49ers still have amazing talent, but that doesn't mean jack shit if you're losing football games. Purdy needs to find receivers not named Deebo Samuel to throw to, and needs to not solely rely on George Kittle to fill that gap. Simple enough. I had this team at number one in the league not too long ago, so I'm super pissed they made me look like a dumbass.

3. New Orleans Saints (3-4)

• NFL.com Ranking: 19
• My Ranking: 24

    This one pisses me off the most. The Saints are the most boring team in history to watch. I can't stand them one bit. They only kept it close with Jacksonville because the Jaguars got complacent in the second half, and because the defense is good. That's literally it. Derek Carr is so fucking lazy, he looks like he does not want to be even playing football. Then don't man, you're a multi-millionaire, go home. Let Jameis cook, that'd be infinitely more exciting. I think Carr has a hit out on Kamara, because he tries his best to ensure that almost every play Kamara is directly in the line of fire. When the Saints get into the redzone, I legitimately don't notice because I know nothing is going to happen. These guys suck, and ranking them in the top 20 is far too generous. The most fraudulent team as of now.

Ranked Too Low

1. Indianapolis Colts (3-4)

• NFL.com Ranking: 21
• MY Ranking: 14

    Just say you hate the Colts, Eric. I admit all the time that I hold a bias to them because of my association. But are you fucking serious with the 21? Even with Minshew playing inconsistent, they dropped 38 points on the best defense in the league. They are the only team in the NFL getting 20 or more points every game this season. The REFS beat Indy on Sunday, not Cleveland. They literally admitted to it. The Colts have stayed competitive with everyone they've played this season, and their record does not reflect their skill in the slightest. Also, they're only getting better every week. They beat your number four team Eric. Transitive property means they're better than the Lions. Fix this next week or else (meaning, I will just angrily write about it again).

2. Jacksonville Jaguars (5-2)

• NFL.com Ranking: 6
• MY Ranking: 2

   Okay so this one is definitely not as bad as the others, but it's still wrong compared to what we've seen the past couple of weeks. The Jags have been on a tear, fighting every team they face and most importantly, coming out on top from those matchups. They don't seem to have any flaws big enough to cost them a game anytime soon and they're on a hot streak already. I hate typing this, but because I don't just rate teams based off of how popular they are, I am remaining objective and saying that the Jaguars are good. Like, really good. Currently, they're the team that would give the Chiefs their toughest match-up head to head. The hype is hot, and denying the Jaguars is no more. Until they pull a Detroit and get murdered by another good team that is. Trevor Lawrence is great, and he isn't even throwing to Calvin Ridley. Targets everywhere.

3. Chicago Bears (2-5)

    NFL.com Ranking: 29

    My Ranking: 24

    No, this is not a good football team. But their backup QB just beat the Raiders and ya'll have the Raiders at 24? Ridiculous, they've beaten the Packers and Patriots recently, and by no means did they earn those wins. The Bears might have enough spark to get to .500. That's realistic given their easier schedule and the fact that they're slowly picking up the pieces. They are by no means a bottom four teams, at least as of now. Tyson Bagent is a dawg and could very well hand Chicago another win before Fields gets back. For all we know, when Fields returns he could turn into the god of football and destroy everything in his way. Overall though, my main point is this: Th Bears are not as bad as the Raiders, Patriots, Commanders or even the Broncos who they lost to. Definitely keep them low, just not this low.

There we have it everyone. I think that this is the move from now on after typing it. Called out the aforementioned bullshit, gave my opinion and then moved on. It's perfect. That's why you always remember work smarter not harder. Let's see how right/wrong I am this week!
