Get those Seahawks up on that first row y'all!!!!

11-2 and second in the division. Crazy.

The Packers at 4th seems kind of silly to me.

I think they probably belong behind at least 3 or 4 AFC teams.

🤨

Your Packers have gotten some pretty good injury luck when they've played decent teams...

Beat Indy w/o Josh Downs
Beat Rams w/o Puka & Kupp
Beat Cardinals w/o Marv Jr. (he got hurt in 1st qtr)
Beat Texans w/o Nico Collins

The wins over the Colts and Cards probably shouldn't be downgraded at all - Willis at QB for Pack against Colts, and MHJ wouldn't have helped Cards prevent 4 Love passing TDs in a blowout.

But GB squeaked by Rams and Texans when they were missing critical weapons.

jlam5.bsky.social•77 days ago

Sure, but you can also do that for other teams, too.

I'm not gonna argue that GB is definitely 4th, but they are just as good as the good AFC teams.
Ravens pass D is awful, KC is vulnerable, etc.

In general, I think power rankings are dumb, but fun to discuss.

Which 3 or 4 teams in the afc would you put ahead of the Packers?

adlangx.bsky.social•77 days ago

Seriously, I hate the Packers, but they are better than the teams behind them.

shawnfoss.bsky.social•77 days ago

I think KC and Buffalo should inarguably be ahead of Green Bay.

If you disagree on PIT/Baltimore, that's fine, but I think I'd have at least one of them ahead of GB, if not both

thebiggestmal.bsky.social•77 days ago

Buffalo makes sense to me. The way kansas city has been winning concerns me but I could understand those 2 being in front of GB.

seanf5.bsky.social•77 days ago

KC, Balt, Buff, and probably equal with Pit

shawnfoss.bsky.social•77 days ago

Yeah, KC and Buffalo seem like easy calls to me.

I personally would say Baltimore and maybe Pittsburgh too, but understand if someone disagrees with those two.

It's hard to have Baltimore above GB and NOT Pittsburgh though, since Steelers have better record & H2H win over Ravens

seanf5.bsky.social•77 days ago

IMO, what are the team’s best wins? For GB it’s Houston? SF and LA were not good when they played. Pit is Balt and Was?
GB is 6-4 in games that Love starts and finishes. He feels inconsistent.
They still play 2 good teams. Curious how they do in those.

shawnfoss.bsky.social•77 days ago

Houston was missing Nico Collins when GB played them.

PIT and BAL also have worse losses than GB has.

Ravens lost to Browns and Raiders.

Steelers lost to Browns, Colts, Cowboys
