I think the 15-20 range is a good spot as of now.

29. Denver Broncos
30. Cincinnati Bengals
31. Oakland Raiders
32. Cleveland Browns

Rofl, every team that loses to the Broncos should go below them, and that's how they climb to the top of the power rankings.

Despite my team being one of the losses to Denver (:() I support this!

Lol, Denver 16-0, 20th in the weekly power rankings.

Timbathia · 09-27-2009, 06:34 PM

In breaking news, Seattle fans momentarily shattered as they realize that their "guaranteed" top 5 pick in the draft trade from Denver is actually going to be a mid-first round pick.

Then the elation returns when they realize that their own team is bad enough to get them a top 5 pick anyway.

In a related story, 2 out of every 3 posters at draftcountdown.com still put the Broncos in the bottom 3 NFL teams as they havent beaten anyone good yet (the other "1" poster still thinks McDaniels is a moron and the worst NFL coach in history).

Plays divison teams twice.

Hmm wonder how far we are going to drop in the next edition of the diehard Packers fans power rankings.

Yeah I was gonna say 16th, but I remembered we play the rest of the AFC Best twice. Which means I still can't do math, but whatevs.

Wouldn't it be 13 different teams? 3 in your division, then 10 other teams?

Sad/funny thing is, I think the Steelers will still be in the top 15.

tjsunstein · 09-27-2009, 07:13 PM

We'll see. This week has definitely shaken things up.

welcome back to the starting lineup, Mr. Young.

Very impressed with the Bungles. They took it to the Steelers and they popped them right in the mouth. Having them in the bottom five of the NFL is pretty stupid.

They lost to Denver. If the Broncos are bottom 5, then the Bengals have to be as well. Dont argue, it is just the way the world works.

Well don't generalize me with all the people that think the Broncos are much of anything. I've seen the Bengals play twice already, and they're legit. Palmer is looking really good and comfortable again.

I agree with you. The Bengals def is actually damn good too. Odom is the defensive MVP right now.

yodapoop · 09-28-2009, 10:33 AM

St. Louis will get their rightful place at #32!!!! Even though Cleveland has looked awful too, but they lost three teams with a combined record of 9-0, the Rams opponets are now 4-5, #1 pick right now!

no bare feet · 09-28-2009, 10:45 AM

Even though the Steelers are 1-2, would people still rank them in the top 12?

I'd put them in the top half. between 13-16 now. I'm sure they'll vault back up eventually, but, based on today, they don't look good.

Tough question. Personally, I think I would have a very hard time putting the Steelers any lower than 14. Right now, in the AFC I would rank the Jets, Patriots, Ravens, Bengals, and Colts all above the Pittsburgh Steelers. I would also consider the Chargers there. Among NFC teams, I would rank the Saints, Giants, Vikings, and possibly Eagles/Falcons above Pittsburgh. For now I would say somewhere between 9 and 12 sounds appropriate to me.

P-L · 09-28-2009, 11:09 AM

The Steelers don't look like a playoff team as of right now. I wouldn't put them in the top 6 of the AFC, that's for sure. Their only win (needing overtime to beat Tennessee at home) looks a lot less impressive after Tennessee has started 0-3. However, I'm sure they'll climb back up sooner rather than later.

Didn't stop people from ranking the Packers ahead of the Bengals last week.

Saints 4 Lyfe · 09-28-2009, 11:49 AM

So, with the way the Saints D showed they can win a game when the offense can't, can the Saints move up even further?

tjsunstein · 09-28-2009, 12:22 PM

A LOT of teams will move drastically this week compared to the last two. Previously, I was concerned about a knee jerk type reaction and played it conservative as the first two weeks can be tricky in terms of deciphering a team's true standing but week 3 is when the shape of the NFL seasons starts to get true form. We'll see the Steelers drop and some teams move more than 7 slots up or down. Should be interesting to see some reactions.
