Power Rankings Week 3
Continuing the theme of posting my notes for public consumption:
Kansas City Chiefs – Defense & Roster sneakily young & should improve
Tampa Bay Buccaneers – No change from last week Autopilot until Nov/Dec. Need trades/signings to bolster DBs
Los Angeles Rams – Sloppy win – still need to avoid injuries
Buffalo Bills – Obviously and comprehensively better than Miami – Cupcake schedule with tests against KC and TB
San Francisco 49ers – Will slowly continue to decrease talent level over the season. Outplayed or even with Eagles at best
Cleveland Browns – Significant issues at WR
Green Bay Packers
Denver Broncos – Professional win @ Jax
Seattle Seahawks – Poor defense will lead to more overs and blown leads – no margin for conservative playcalling
Baltimore Ravens – Good comeback, Seattle comment applies
Dallas Cowboys – Defense and coaching flaws unchanged from 2020
Los Angeles Chargers – Played Dallas to a draw but Continuing to lose games on the margins
Carolina Panthers – Superb defense vs. NO – avg offense gets them to playoffs
Arizona Cardinals – Murray and defense improved. Game management and playcalling have not
Pittsburgh Steelers – Overall offense a continual problem – avg offense gets them to playoffs
Las Vegas Raiders – Overall defense a continual problem
New Orleans Saints – Overall offense a continual problem
Philadelphia Eagles – Could be the most inconsistent in the league in 2021
New England Patriots – Pats receivers still not getting open – O-line outplayed by Jets front
Minnesota Vikings – Good in 2nd half, curse of Gary Anderson
Indianapolis Colts – Unlikely to win games vs. teams above them on this list – Does healthy Wentz exist?
Tennessee Titans – Comeback more an indictment of Seattle defense. Too many negative plays from Tannehill
Miami Dolphins – Small margins for error and limited offense until Tua improves or gets upgraded
Cincinnati Bengals – Playcalling and O-line still an issue
Chicago Bears – Defense was better vs. Bengals, Fields equal QB to Dalton as of right now but with ability to run
Washington Football Team
New York Giants – O-line doing OK, poor in red zone
Houston Texans
Atlanta Falcons – Disorganized on offense which defeats the point of having a veteran qb. Pitts already top-10 TE. No defense
Detroit Lions
New York Jets – Who was Wilson throwing to on the 4th INT? Front 7 did well vs. NE esp. Mosely at LB
Jacksonville Jaguars – No safety again and defense has been bottom 5- Zero on offense minus opening drive and garbage time
