My current power rankings. And yes I am still going by last season's results a fair amount as well as some of what I saw last week.
#1 Patriots -Simply the best. Better than all the rest.
#2 Chiefs - Just as good as the team last year that the Pats barely beat twice
#3 Saints - For not they're the 3rd best, but I would be worried about them falling off again.
#4 Rams - I can't put them any lower for now but I think they will fall back to the pack a bit.
#5 Eagles - A horrible start. Down 0-17 vs a bad team. Then they showed who they are.
#6 Panthers - A team people are sleeping on but shouldn't. Need to stop the run though.
#7 Vikings - The only draw back is (like the Rams) I question their QB.
#8 Texans - Losing like that isn't bad. I question parts of their team, but their QB is okay.
#9 Bears - A great D which will be let down by their QB yet again.
#10 Packers - The D is better. Not enough play makers on O & Rodgers still freelancing.
#11 Chargers - Gordon doesn't matter much. Still the elite among pretenders w/ or w/o him.
#12 Cowboys - Beating the Giants doesn't impress. Low tier playoff team. Dak don't have it.
#13 Seahawks - The trade for Clowney was good. This D needs more help on the back end.
#14 Titans - Scrappy team. The QB still stinks, but they do a lot right.
#15 Ravens - Slow the hype train. The new OC is helping but I don't think it's sustainable.
#16 Steelers - The issues here are VERY real. They aren't that good.
#17 Browns - I still buy into this team a fair amount, but how they bounce back here matters. They need to do something about that OL though if they want to make the jump.
#18 Bills - That D is legit good. And they won't lose the turnover battle that badly often.
#19 Falcons - Not as bad as they looked. But not much better.
#20 Broncos - They will be inconsistent all year and finish reasonably well. Still a dark horse.
#21 49ers - A team that will win ugly or not at all. They aren't too bad though.
#22 Oakland - Under talented team that had something to prove. Now they'll go back to sucking
#23 Colts - They aren't going to be good. They probably just had their game of the year vs LAC
#24 Cardinals - Murray showed me a little something late in this one.
#25 Redskins - You let a good team off the hook and fell apart. You know, like bad teams do.
#26 Jaguars - This talented team has fallen apart and lost all discipline. And their QB.
#27 Bengals - They played their best game against a not ready Seahawks team. And still lost.
#28 Jets - The Jest. I was wrong about Darnold. Okay D though.
#29 Lions - Abandon this ship ASAP
#30 Bucs - Same as last year.
#31 Giants - Same as last year.
#32 Dolphins - Wow. Nothing else to say.
