Power Rankings

BIGGEST MOVERS
CHIEFS up 6
SAINTS down 4

1	Ravens	They just keep on winning and there is no argument they are the league's best. The defense is getting better by the week, but Lamar Jackson 's quad injury is a concern.	--	11-2-0
2	49ers	Winning that shootout against the Saints is a good thing. They needed to see that from Jimmy Garoppolo .	2	11-2-0
3	Packers	It wasn't pretty against the Redskins, but they found a way. Now comes a tough division game against the revitalized Bears.	3	10-3-0
4	Chiefs	The way they won at New England bodes well for the playoffs. They did it with the defense.	6	9-4-0
5	Seahawks	That wasn't a good showing in Los Angeles with a chance to take over as the No. 1 seed in the NFC. They would be a wild-card team if the playoffs started today.	3	10-3-0
6	Patriots	The offense continues to be a major issue, so much so they can't win a home game in December. That tells us there are major problems.	1	10-3-0
7	Saints	What has happened to the defense the past month? It was awful against the 49ers. They have to fix that.	4	10-3-0
8	Vikings	They didn't do a lot on offense against the Lions, but they did enough. The defense was outstanding and now they face a tough road test against the Chargers.	1	9-4-0
9	Bills	The offense wasn't close to being good enough against the Ravens. But the defense showed it could play with any offense in limiting the Ravens.	1	9-4-0
10	Titans	Can they keep it rolling on offense? With Derrick Henry running it and Ryan Tannehill throwing it, what's to think it won't continue?	1	8-5-0
11	Steelers	They are now 3-0 with Devlin Hodges at quarterback. They have the look of a playoff team and face a playoff-like game with the Bills this week.	1	8-5-0
12	Texans	That was an embarrassing showing against the Broncos. And now they have to face the hot Titans on the road, which won't be easy.	3	8-5-0
13	Rams	They have come alive on offense the past two weeks, which has them still alive in the playoff chase. They face a tough road challenge at Dallas this week.	2	8-5-0
14	Eagles	That wasn't pretty against the Giants Monday night, but they somehow found a way. They control their destiny to the playoffs, but have to play better than they did against the Giants.	2	6-7-0
15	Bears	The offense has come alive to give them some playoff hopes, ever so faint. But Mitch Trubisky has made big strides.	2	7-6-0
16	Colts	Two straight losses have them needing to win out to make the playoffs. The defense really struggled at Tampa.	3	6-7-0
17	Cowboys	They aren't playing well, but they can still be a playoff team as a division winner. This week's game with a revitalized Rams team won't be easy.	3	6-7-0
18	Raiders	So much for the idea of this team surging. They are done. On to Vegas.	--	6-7-0
19	Buccaneers	They can score a lot of points, which is why Jameis Winston should be back next season. A .500 season is possible.	--	6-7-0
20	Browns	They found a way to beat the Bengals - it wasn't pretty - to keep their playoff hopes alive. They have a winnable game at Arizona this week.	--	6-7-0
21	Broncos	Did John Elway finally find his quarterback in Drew Lock ? He was outstanding in the upset of the Texans. He plays with a swagger.	1	5-8-0
22	Chargers	That team we saw in Jacksonville was the team many expected to see this season. Where has that been?	1	5-8-0
23	Panthers	The decision to fire Ron Rivera didn't matter in the outcome this week. The big question now is who takes over next season.	2	5-8-0
24	Cardinals	The past two weeks have been ugly for the offense. Kyler Murray is struggling.	--	3-9-1
25	Jets	They've won four of five games, which is a good streak for this young team. They haven't exactly beaten a tough schedule, but they don't care.	--	5-8-0
26	Falcons	They got back to playing good football against the Panthers. That's the team many expected to see this season.	2	4-9-0
27	Jaguars	This thing is officially done. When do heads start to roll? They are the biggest flop of the season.	1	4-9-0
28	Redskins	Dwayne Haskins hasn't done much as the starter, but it's too early to really judge him. Now it's all about the next coach.	1	3-10-0
29	Dolphins	The good news is that there are only three more games left. Then it's all about the off-season for this group.	--	3-10-0
30	Lions	So much for David Blough Mania. He is just a guy, but what do you expect from a third-team passer?	--	3-9-1
31	Giants	Eli Manning gave them some life against the Eagles. The good news is they didn't win for draft reasons.	--	2-11-0
32	Bengals	They competed against the Browns, and did some good things. I think this team has some nice pieces for 2020 when Joe Burrow gets there.	--	1-12-0

Jackson broke Vick's single season QB rushing record in the 1st quarter. He only needed 23 yds. to break the record and has 64 yds. in the 1st half.

 

[WIMUSKY]

4th and 1 and the Ravens went for it deep in their own territory.... Talk about shoving it in the Jets face...

 

[GA_Boater]

The Ravens are using the Jets for practice and prep for the post-season.

 

[GA_Boater]

Ravens better work on punting. Blocked punt leads to a Jets TD with missed PAT.

Jackson broke Vick's single season QB rushing record in the 1st quarter. He only needed 23 yds. to break the record and has 64 yds. in the 1st half.

I don't know if that's a record a QB wants to have. Starting with RG 3 and I could list many recent running QB's. Their careers were great to watch in their prime but not so nice after they had both knees replaced. NFL can really stand for Not For Long. Remember the MVP from just a few years ago? Cam Newton is sitting on the bench in street clothes and no one in the league is interested in him. I like Buffalo's Josh Allen in the pocket more than last year. Sure it sure it's fun watching a 6'5" QB hurdling a 6 foot LB but I like the way Bills management is keeping Josh Allen in the pocket more. He isn't running every time his #2 receiver is covered. It isn't as much Run Pass Option as Pass Run Option.

What a dog of a game, I'm giving unsolicited advice here on this Interweb thing and every time I look up Baltimore has put another 7 points on the board. The execs at ABC might be hiding tomorrow if they are the ones that thought this would be a great MNF game with Sam Darnold doing what he was hired to do but hasn't yet. Oops the Jets just scored a TD, not the offensive offence though. If A QB throws the ball into the stands 4 rows up to avoid a loss it should be grounding.

 

[GA_Boater]

Iron - You need a new calendar. This is TNF, not MNF. LOL

 

[Old Ironmaker]

I have a callender but all the squares on it are covered in Sharpie marker telling me when I am supposed to see one of my 17 Dr's. I swear not, 17. That's what free health care will get you, and a 40% tax rate to pay for the FREE Docs. Man I am a mess.

Lamar Jacksons leg was giving out as I watched closely in the 4th quarter. He did hurt it apparently in his last game. Don't ask me what day it was please. As Jackson goes so go the Ravens. I just hope he is well enough during their playoff run. He is being interviewed right now. 2 countries separated by a common language.

 

[sphelps]

I goofed up . I,m gunna call it a computer glitch ...Yeah that's it .. i had to rejoin the group and I think its not gunna give me credit for the previous picks I made .. :facepalm:
I picked up with my picks after the Thursday night game ..

 

[GA_Boater]

I was wondering why you didn't pick the Jets.

 

[sphelps]

Now Why would I have done that ? I had to put in another password .. I,m gunna try something and re-log back in ..
Maybe it will work ...


Ok I think I,m back on track now ... When it comes to computers I'm a real fart smeller

U mean free healthcare isn't free?. Man could I run with this ball.....:tape2: I said "ball", so I'm still sticking with the spirit of the thread...:watermelon:

 

[aspeck]

Bills and Steelers are in a defensive battle ... Bills just tied it up at 10-10 with 12 1/2 minutes left in the game.

 

[aspeck]

17-10 Bills ... Very rare for a score on the Steeler defensive series that starts with Renegade! Kudos to the Bills.

 

[GA_Boater]

I didn't recognize Big Ben on the sidelines. He's channeling Grizzly Adams with the bushy beard.

A nice 3rd down conversion! Go Steelers!

 

[aspeck]

4th and 7, 2 minutes, Bills 23 yard line ... and Bills take a time out ...

 

[aspeck]

INT in the end zone ... Duck’s 3rd INT. Stillers have 2 time outs.

 

[GA_Boater]

Risky long 4th and 7 pass. INT! Darn it!

 

[Old Ironmaker]

Is America starting to get it yet?

There is still a longshot chance Buffalo can win the AFC East. Beat the Pats and a Patriot loss to Miami. That is a long, longshot.

 

[aspeck]

Another INT in the end zone for Duck with 10 seconds left. ... 4 INT on the night. Congratulations and welcome to the playoffs, Buffalo.
