Week Seven power rankings

Getty Images

1. Eagles (6-1; No. 2): Before they can be a Team of Density, they need to be sure that it’s not Carson Wentz‘s destiny to get injured while being reckless with his body.

2. Patriots (5-2; No. 3): It’s just a matter of time before we forget all about the time they were 2-2.

3. Steelers (5-2; No. 4): They’re suddenly treating Le'Veon Bell like a rented car on a rocky road.

4. Chiefs (5-2; last week No. 1): With all the praise directed to the offense, has anyone noticed that the defense isn’t getting it done?

5. Seahawks (4-2; No. 6): They’ll face the Eagles in the regular season; it may be an appetizer to an excellent postseason rematch.

6. Vikings (5-2; No. 7): The Vikings and Teddy Bridgewater are currently like Helen Hunt and Tom Hanks at the end of Castaway. #timely.

7. Rams (5-2; No. 9): Why do I have a feeling people would be saying “we’re not sure what to think of this team” even as they are hoisting the Lombardi Trophy?

8. Bills (4-2; No. 10): Doug Whaley joins fired General Managers like John Dorsey and Dave Gettleman as potential Executive of the Year In Absentia candidates.

9. Dolphins (4-2; No. 11): The 2011 team MVP has a chance to become the 2017 team MVP.

10. Saints (4-2; No. 15): They’re starting to party like it’s 2009.

11. Texans (3-3; No. 13): Deshaun Watson will soon find out that Legion of Boom is slightly better than the Legion of ‘Bama.

12. Panthers (4-3; No. 5): Mike Shula is starting to make David Shula look good in comparison.

13. Washington (3-3; No. 8): If the offensive line continues to get banged up, Captain Kurt may soon need to go see Doctor Spork.

14. Falcons (3-3; No. 12): Is Steve Sarkisian still under warranty?

15. Titans (4-3; No. 17): Does beating the Browns in overtime actually count as a win?

16. Lions (3-3; No. 16): With the Steelers coming back to town, will Phil Luckett be joining them?

17. Jaguars (4-3; No. 18): Does the bye week count as a “bad week” in the good-week-bye-week-good-week-bye-week formula?

18. Cowboys (3-3; No. 19): Will Dak Prescott vs. Carson Wentz become the new Manning-Brady?

19. Chargers (3-4; No. 23): Could it be 1992 all over again for the Chargers?

20. Raiders (3-4; No. 25): How much better would they be if they’d drafted a running back instead of luring one out of retirement?

21. Broncos (3-3; No. 14): They had “sub-optimal, near-replacement-level quarterbacking” in 2015, and it was still better than what they’re doing now.

22. Packers (4-3; No. 20): It’s hard to take a guy seriously when he says “don’t count us out” immediately after giving everyone a reason to count them out.

23. Bears (3-4; No. 27): When the offensive game plan consists of scoring multiple defensive touchdowns, that’s not a sustainable offensive game plan.

24. Jets (3-4; No. 21): Tanks for the memories.

25. Bengals (2-4; No. 24): Could Hue Jackson pull off the ultra-rare moved of being fired by one team and hired by another in the same state?

26. Buccaneers (2-4; No. 26): It’s a good thing that ownership is patient and even-keeled and never makes rash decisions when it comes to firing coaches.

27. Ravens (3-4; No. 28): Steve Bisciotti recently passed out votes of confidence. Which means the pink slips will be passed out, eventually.

28. Colts (2-5; No. 29): Receiver T.Y. Hilton would like to apologize for accurately pointing out that the offensive line stinks.

29. Cardinals (3-4; No. 22): When Drew Stanton‘s career highlight is a celebration on the sideline, it hasn’t been a very memorable career.

30. Giants (1-6; No. 30): During the bye, does Ben take a vacation from the Brylcreem?

31. 49ers (0-7; No. 31): After so many close losses, it feels like they’ve just given up.

32. Browns (0-7; No. 32): Carson Wentz. Deshaun Watson. So who’s the next franchise quarterback on whom they will pass?

    I guess I don’t get it. So Teddy is Tom Hanks, but he can’t get back together with Helen Hunt because she’s moved on and is married to Case Keenum? I don’t think the Vikings are married to Case Keenum, and if they are, they’ll throw him over in a second for Teddy Hanks.

  2. A big clap for the Philadelphia franchise for winning the Superbowl last night. Oh wait. No. The Eagles are still Ringless. But they accomplished the closest thing to a Superbowl by beating who they could never and will never be. A winning franchise in the Redskins. Here’s your worthless banner for having a good record after 7 games! Once a losing franchise, always a losing franchise. Meanwhile in DC, We will worry about adding Lombardi FOUR in December, January and February while you crash out in the playoffs, Like always since 1960! Thank God I’m a Redskin fan! Onto Dallas.

  3. Couldn’t be happier to see the WORST fanbase located in TurdBay, WI see their pathetic franchise crawl to the bottom of the division and power rankings.

  4. Can the Browns and 49s Play each other so one of them can get a win under their Belt?

    The Eagles deserve #1…good job

  5. Pack at 22 is way too high. also..


    18. Cowboys (3-3; No. 19): Will Dak Prescott vs. Carson Wentz become the new Manning-Brady?

    No, Dak is a game manager with fresh legs.

  6. And all the Tampa fans need to realize, you don’t have a franchise quarterback. You could, if he put in the work and stopped turning the ball over. He needs to stop thinking his arm can beat that coverage and sometimes the best pass thrown, is the one you throw away into the stands.

  7. HA HA Packers #22…… That should shut them up at least till next week when they are 25 or 30.
    Bears should be ranked higher than the Packers. I’m thinking the Browns would beat Green Bay.
    Just think of those high draft picks you will get, better take a QB in each round, to replace Rodgers and that bum shoulder of his.. Now what were all those comments about QB’s made of Glass
    the past 2 years on every Vikings story? How does it feel having Tony Romo as your QB?
    Taste of your own medicine a little bitter right now? If you think we are going to feel sorry for you? NAW….lol

    Also, thanks for pointing out that we don’t have a Superbowl. We weren’t aware of that. It will be a nice change of pace when your next argument is the number of Superbowls we have…

    Cheers buddy and be thankful the Giants lost there WR depth, otherwise your Skins would be last in the East at seasons end.

    Look at his stats from year to year. He is progressing nicely and is CURRENTLY making those throws you claim he needs to work on. Jameis is a gunslinger and turnovers will never be out of his makeup but he is working on throwing the ball away. Put Jameis on Buffalo and they are an undefeated team.

  14. When Drew Stanton‘s career highlight is a celebration on the sideline, it hasn’t been a very memorable career.

    What about his 6-3 record as a starter for Arizona? Don’t let the facts get in the way of your narrative!

  15. First off seeing a lot of salty cheese whiz in here 😛 That’s always fun. Anyways, the Vikes are not the #6 team in the NFL, and contrary to your earlier ranking they were never the 20th. They are a playoff team, whatever that comes out to be. I’d put them closer to 10. Don’t be such a prisoner of the moment Florio.

  16. 4 teams in the top 15 that lost to worse teams this week… is it really that hard to rank everyone??

  17. commentawaitingdeletion

    Typical Packer fan, when their team is in dumps they crawl in a corner and whine about teams doing better than them.

    Pull yourself together, you have all those trophies you like to remind us of…enjoy the past right…because thats about all you guys got going for you.

  18. Steelers (5-2; No. 4): They’re suddenly treating Le’Veon Bell like a rented car on a rocky road.

    Is this a good thing? What are the chances that by treating Bell like a rental that his wheels will fall off during the playoffs (again)?

  19. My heart goes out to Browns fans,they are true fans,they show up every game,but the team never shows

  20. Viking fans know their historically bad franchise actually have a shot now that the best player in the NFL is injured. I have never seen so much hate from a fanbase who has been the leagues doormat.

    I remember the same thing happened after the 5-0 start. That didnt work out too well..

    At the end of week 7 he is responsible for 10 TO’s. That is unacceptable. I know they aren’t all interceptions but you can’t win like that.

    I don’t know If I’d say easier… Miami is surprising opponents, Buffalo is surprising opponents, the NYJ gave them a run for their money and Pittsburgh is playing tough football.

  27. Where’s the outrage about the dolphins not immediately calling Kaepernick when Cutler went down? Also no call for rule changes? I guess these things only matter when a qb of Rodgers caliber gets hurt…

  28. Yeah. I dont get the Castaway reference either. Mainly because like most people I never saw the movie!

  29. Patriots should be 3 or 4 not number 2. Eagles and the Steelers should be 1 and 2. Although if the Pats go at least 2 and 1 over their next 3 games then maybe I could see being #2. As for the rest of the AFC East Bills are starting to make progress although I will get a better read on them by the end of November. Dolphins have been improving for the last 3 years. The Jets definitely aren’t tanking, but they shouldn’t have choked like that against Miami.

    “A winning franchise in the Redskins….”

    In the 25 years since their last Super Bowl appearance, the Redskins have compiled a record of 170-228-2, worse than all but five other NFL teams. That’s a winning franchise? Have they changed the definition of “winning”?

    LogicalVoiceSays:
    “Once a losing franchise, always a losing franchise.”

    The perfect definition of the the Deadskins.

    LogicalVoiceSays:
    “Meanwhile in DC, We will worry about adding Lombardi FOUR in December, January and February…”

    “We”? No. “They” play, “you” watch. And perhaps you should worry about their fourth win THIS SEASON.

    And remember, strike year Super Bowls don’t count.

  34. When someone says “But enough about what we have going for us” in regards to something they didn’t accomplish, just simply watched, you know they really don’t have much going for them.

  35. Not thrilled with being #22, but thats pretty much what the Packers look like.

    Its really a shame, the defense is showing signs of life. Blake Martinez is really having a really good year, and the rookie DBs have shown well. Even Damarious Randall has shown up!.. all for naught!

    Draft watch will be fun this year. They should have a good shot at a signifigant playmaker picking around the top 10. Derwin James, Kendall Joseph, or Dante Pettis could really give the Pack a needed jolt!

  36. Still can’t figure out how Miami is over the Saints, after the Saints shut them out, and is on a 4-game winning streak, head scratcher

    This, and Saints have played the 2nd hardest schedule in NFL.

    Many Tampa fans will still argue Freeman was a franchise Qb… Many of them will likely still defend Winston when he eventually gets replaced…

    1/4 of those turnovers is because he has a RG moved to C and the C isn’t adjusting like hoped. Jameis is 10-4 TD/INT. Im pretty sure half the league would take that for their QB. He also top 10 in almost every passing category.

    4 teams in the top 15 that lost to worse teams this week… is it really that hard to rank everyone??
    ————————————-
    Chiefs are ranked below two teams they have already beaten this season…and it’s a fair ranking. So yeah…it is that hard. Try it sometime and you’ll see.

  41. Packers are 9 spots too high. At this point I don’t even know if they’d beat the Browns. They’re just so bad without Rodgers. His talent always masked how bad Dom Capers and his soft zone defense are. Still hoping they tank the rest of the year for an easier schedule, high draft pick, and no more Capers (though they’ve been really stubborn keeping that guy around).

  42. I, for one love to see all the Viking fans get all warm and fuzzy on the inside about their teams current status.

    It makes the impending collapse and failure all that much sweeter. Sweet like grape Kool-Aid flavored tears

  43. My Broncos too high. Horrible offense. Horrible special teams. Horrible coaching. Defense only part of this team that keeps them in any conversation. However–with one touchdown over last 11 quarters from the offense that conversation wouldn’t be very interesting. Pathetic right now…..

  44. Not saying this as a Jags fan at all….but if the Steelers are the 3rd best team in NFL according to these rankings – after what I saw when the visiting Jags gave them a flat out beatdown – then we might as well pencil in another SB for the Patriots. Which sickens me.

  45. Patriots at #2 is too high. I’m a season ticket holder and I don’t expect the team to win a playoff game (they will go to the playoffs, of course, but they won’t win a game).

  46. After week 10 the Eagles will be in the bottom 15. Mark on it. They’re pretender not contender. Let’s see them play teams like Vikings and Pats on the road.

  47. 15. Titans (4-3; No. 17): Does beating the Browns in overtime actually count as a win?
    ——————-
    It does. Know how I know? Because if they lost they’d be 3-4, not 4-3, & much lower in your power rankings.

    Also, the Browns have lost 4 games by 3 points, one of them to your #3 team the Steelers. They’re (& I can’t believe I’m going to type this) a competitive 0-7.

  48. Packers are 9 spots too high. At this point I don’t even know if they’d beat the Browns. They’re just so bad without Rodgers. His talent always masked how bad Dom Capers and his soft zone defense are. Still hoping they tank the rest of the year for an easier schedule, high draft pick, and no more Capers (though they’ve been really stubborn keeping that guy around)
    =====

    They took a beat down from a top 5 offense in the 2nd half, and were STILL in the game until the Saints scored on their final drive.

    Funny how people can watch the same thing and have different opinions.

    They’re not a Playoff team without Rodgers. But we knew that already….. they’re CLEARLY not the Browns.

  49. Hahaha typical purples their team is 5-2 and they are still obsessed with the Packers. Sorriest fan base in sports.
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    nailed it…and the looming implosion will be all the funnier…all the purples, wildly optimistic for oh about 59 years or so

  50. Should put the Vikes at #1 so the purples can get their annual October participation trophy…then put the Bills at #1 just to make Joey-T’s head explode.

    Vikings fans are sore losers, so it’s not surprising that they are also sore winners (so far anyway). In a down year when half of these top 10 teams aren’t very good, they will still be one and done at best, maybe not even that. Their fans will consider it a huge success.
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Packers win 2 Superbowls in 25 years, are in the playoffs almost every year and lose championship games to the eventual superbowl champ and purples claim failure!

    Vikings maybe go to the playoffs every 2-3 years and lose in round 1, successful franchise!

    Hard to argue with the mindset of the purples.

    And stay the hell off my lawn.

    When someone says “But enough about what we have going for us” in regards to something they didn’t accomplish, just simply watched, you know they really don’t have much going for them.

    I noticed you didn’t disagree with my statement.

  62. I watched a few Tampa Bay games and I gotta Jameis Winston is like a Jay Cutler with false bravado. He is very inaccurate and can’t figure out when to be a gunslinger and manage the game. He might throw 3 TD or he might throw 4 picks.

  63. The Bears have literally defied all odds winning these last two games but the offensive playcalling, total lack of talent at WR, and shaky (at best) play on special teams and the OL are putting a pretty firm ceiling on their prospects going forward. None of those can be really be “fixed” midseason. Fortunately for the Bears, none of their NFC-N opponents except maybe the Vikings really seem positioned to make a run on the division.

  64. Didn’t Helen Hunt try to go back to Tom Hanks at the end of that movie? And Hanks told her to go back to her family? Maybe Florio was thinking of Sleepless in Seattle.

    Packers aren’t great buth they’re not bad either. They should be somewhere 15-20.
    //////
    Which part is “not bad”? I’m being serious. Be very specific, because I watched their game on Sunday, and that entire team was not good. The QB was god awful. As in, that might be the worst game of any QB so far this year.

  68. It’s always amusing watching the cheese curds hit the wall when their heads explode.
    Usually though that isn’t til mid January. Oh well. Still hilarious.

  69. Which part is “not bad”? I’m being serious. Be very specific, because I watched their game on Sunday, and that entire team was not good.
    =====

    They moved the ball well in the first half, especially on teh ground, and they played good defense, intercepting Brees twice.

    That was a game for 55 minutes, until the Saints final td.

    The Packers are not a Playoff team without the best QB in football. If the remaining 9 games are competitive and play out like the Sunday, I’d be completely fine with that!

  70. If the AFC Conference Final were held today, NO WAY would the Patriots win against the Steelers.

    I know we joke around a bit about just how obsessed Barney fans are with the Packers, but I have to wonder, why are you watching the Packer game while your Vikings are playing at the same time.

    Oh I’m sure you’ll have some snappy answer for me.
    But I usually wouldn’t waste my time watching a team I absolutely loathe.
    But then again, I’m not obsessed.
    skoLOL!

  72. “After week 10 the Eagles will be in the bottom 15. Mark on it. They’re pretender not contender. Let’s see them play teams like Vikings and Pats on the road.”

    The last time the eagles played both of those teams, they won. The eagles were worse then than they are now. The pats and Vikings were better then than they are now. Some quality logic you’re following there.

    in Minnesota we have things called remotes….unlike you we don’t have to stand up and move the dial…….

  75. Every day, every way. We heal. Never count us out until we stop breathing. We are never-quit #WARRIORS because of our owners and fans

    #worryaboutyourownteam. #wewillriseagain #dontcountusout

  76. So the Saints SHUT OUT the Dolphins, 20-0, and they’re somehow BELOW the Dolphins? Every other team that’s ahead of them makes sense, but the Dolphins?

    The Saints also have the toughest SOS of the league to this point, no opponent under .500 currently or at the time they played them.

  77. Wow. I know Rogers is a big part of the Packer team, but they still have a pretty good defense among other things. At #22 it’s pretty bad. They could easily be ranked #20. I wouldn’t mind seeing the Vikings at #10.

  78. Yikes! Only true Mommy Basement fanboys get so worked up over power rankings. Newsflash, they have no bearing on the NFL playoff seeds. None, nada, zip. Carry on. Mommy’s cookies are almost done.

    It makes the impending collapse and failure all that much sweeter. Sweet like grape Kool-Aid flavored tears

    Is this a Steelers vs Patriots thing? Geez guys.

    The Steelers have an amazing history. Sure at this point in time it appears to be on hold (as long as any team exists their history is not over) but its forever deserving of respect.

    The Patriots have a history too. Some really bad chapters sure but the past decade and a half some amazing chapters. It too will ‘go on hold’ at some point. Possibly it has and we are soon to realize it, or possibly not for years to come. Or anything in between. But it will gappen.

    Rather than sniping at each other about it (and other teams sniping) why cant we all celebrate these histories as something to be cherished for what they bring/brought to the game. Throw a few other teams on this list too, the Packers come to mind. Ripping each other over ‘well your team isnt great anymore’ is not what sports is about. Its the fact that teams become great that makes the game fun for us fans.

    As far as the Patriots go and as one of their fans, if I found out that last years superbowl was the end of this stretch and we will b a long time from the next one, thats fine. Sorry, no salty tears. My crying wont be music to your ears because i wont be. The gratitude I feel already will stay with me. Its been great and really its been running on house money for years now. No way to be unhappy here.

    And enjoying what the Patriots have done would be less meaningful without what the Steelers and a few other teams have done so really we should all be celebrating each other. And maybe at some point the Steelers are in dynasty mode and enjoying it more because of what the Patriots had done in the past.

    I think the Vikings would beat the Patriots.

    ==============================================
    I doubt it, but I would love to see the game. But how can I, since I have sworn off football??

    – Viking fan, but not an NFL fan

  84. 6. Vikings (5-2; No. 7): The Vikings and Teddy Bridgewater are currently like Helen Hunt and Tom Hanks at the end of Castaway. #timely.

    =========================================================
    So the Vikings are ditching Teddy Bridgewater for who? With all due respect, Case Keenum has done okay, but he certainly has not played well enough to have the consider keeping him on as anything more than a backup. Sam Bradford isn’t healthy and no one seems to know when he will be. His injury history doesn’t exactly make coaches and GM’s want to spend the money which would make him their franchise QB.

    The Vikings are 5-2 largely because of their defense, and because of playing five of their first seven games at home. They need to win in London on Sunday, get healthy over the break, and get either Bridgewater or Bradford behind center for the stretch run. Upcoming road trips include the Redskins, Falcons, Panthers, Lions and Packers, along with a home games against the Rams. I’d rather not see Keenum behind center for those games.

  85. So much for all the Packer Fans bragging about winning the Super Bowl in Minnesota this year!
    Arrogant fools!
    Hey Sponge Bob, why don’t you and Patrick go Jelly fishing Sundays till the end of the Season, Nothing for you to watch on TV except Minnesota running away with “YOUR” Title ha ha…
    God I’m loving this… pity party at noon CT Sunday.

  86. Packers: deserving of their fall — now it’s up to the team to prove this wrong.

    December 23, 1776:

    THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. —– Thomas Paine

    Go! Pack! Go!

  87. First time in a very long time that there are this many comments and the Seahawks are in the top six and nobody is bashing it or the Seahawks.

    I prefer to fly under the radar so that’s good!

    They lost a close game to the Titans in a game where it was 108 degrees on the field and the defense got tired and gave up a couple big plays in the second half.

    The other loss is that stupid game against the Packers where the refs took away the Pick 6 and threw Jeremy Lane out of the game for no reason at all. Both were away games and many people predicted them to be losses at the beginning of the season anyway.

    I know football is football and you lose or you win and you have to eat it, but this team could be undefeated if the ball bounced a little differently. I also know everybody can say that so it’s not really worth anything but with some teams it’s more believable than others. The Seahawks are believable, a team like Cleveland….not so much.

    Just don’t be surprised if the Seahawks OL starts putting it together(only gave up one sack against a strong Giants front 7) and the team goes on a big run in the second half of the season…again. The defense is already there. The offense is inconsistent but has the ability to shine if the line can keep Russell clean like last weekend.

    All these experts are keeping the Seahawks around #5 because they know it can happen and have seen it before. Heck, two years ago the Seahawks were 2-4 after 6 and still made the playoffs due to the same issues on offensive line. It happens every year in Seattle because of the way they construct their roster.

    Only the New Kids on the Block and the haters don’t recognize what’s going on in Seattle…again. Florio seems to know though. Can’t count the Seahawks out until they’re out.

    Viking fans know their historically bad franchise actually have a shot now that the best player in the NFL is injured. I have never seen so much hate from a fanbase who has been the leagues doormat.

    I remember the same thing happened after the 5-0 start. That didnt work out too well..

    Ur delusional, Cheesy. Step 1 is to FINALLY admit ur team has been, for yrs, a one-trick pony, propping up the offense, defense, coaching staff, Packers management, & now without that pony, ur the NY Giants. Welcome to the world of every NFL team that has struggled with finding really good QBs, teams that haven’t been fortunate enough to have TWO HOF QBs in a row–which is 99% of them. No more entitlement to bragging rights week after week. Ur one of us now, buddy. Live with it.

    __________________
    Huh? I’m sorry, but you think a 2 man team (Bell & Brown) are going to beat the Pats? What’s Brady’s record against the squealers again? Something ridiculously lopsided I’m sure, Steelers are the most overrated team in the top 5 and got embarrassed by the Jags…but I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

    I just find it hard to believe that ANY Steeler’s fan would have confidence playing against the Pats, who have straight up owned them since Brady’s been in the league.

  91. The Chiefs are 5-2 over the first games after playing 5 teams in the top half of this power ranking. Including the #1, #2, and #3. Only 2 of their final 9 games are against teams in the top half.

    I am feeling pretty good about the rest of the season. 🙂

  92. Doug Whaley? For real?

    Marcel Dareus is currently a waste of money (love him but on his last legs) – overpaid for Sammy Watkins and the goods we got back in the trade, FROM THE NEW GM, and the hiring of a new coach that is currently doing the job correctly –

    Doug Whaley? C’mon

    Patriots at #2 is too high. I’m a season ticket holder and I don’t expect the team to win a playoff game (they will go to the playoffs, of course, but they won’t win a game).

    /////

    You don’t expect the Patriots to win even ONE playoff game this year? Do you have obstructed-view seats for the games?

    ———————————————–
    Technically that is a true statement but not for the reason you think. See playoff seeding is determined by actual record not made up power rankings. SO going off the actual record. Steelers, Pats, Chiefs are all tied at 5-2. Steelers have a win over the Chiefs. Chiefs have a win over the Pats. Steelers and Pats haven’t played each other. In your “AFC Conference final held today” scenario, the Steelers would host the Chiefs.
    SO you are right, NO WAY would the Pats win against the Steelers because the Pats wouldn’t be playing.

  95. The Broncos are ranked to high at 21. Their offense is not NFL level and their over rayed defense cannot force a turnover to save their life.

    This Steelers fan knows that the Patriots would win that matchup. Maybe not legitimately, because they’re the Patriots, but they’d win. It’s what happens when those two teams meet.
