Continue reading →: Carolina Panthers: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#22)
Last week: 23 (+1) Record: 1-1 The league’s #2 ranked team in terms of yards per play differential: the Carolina Panthers. You can’t tell a ton from that after just 2 games and I still think they’re weak defensively where it matters, on the defensive line and in the secondary,…

Continue reading →: Arizona Cardinals: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#23)
Last week: 23 (+7) Record: 2-0 The Cardinals are one of only 6 undefeated teams left in the NFL, but they’re by far the weakest of the bunch. They’ve been outgained in each of their first 2 games, but won anyway, and have a negative yards per play differential and…

Continue reading →: Seattle Seahawks: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#24)
Last week: 24 (+0) Record: 1-1 I haven’t really moved the Seahawks much, starting them at 25, then moving them to 24, then keeping them at 24 this week. They’re a good team at home and a bad team on the road. Nothing that’s happened with this team has been…

Continue reading →: Tennessee Titans: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#25)
Last week: 11 (-14) Record: 0-2 Before the season, I had the Titans as a playoff team. I thought they had a very strong supporting cast and that Jake Locker would be an upgrade over Matt Hasselbeck, who took this team to 9-7 last year as nothing more than a…

Continue reading →: Minnesota Vikings: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#26)
Yards per play differential is my favorite measure of how a team’s played and the Vikings actually rank 5th in that statistic through 2 games, despite sitting at 1-1. Level of competition is obviously a factor, playing Jacksonville and Indianapolis, but Christian Ponder seems to be the only 2nd year…

Continue reading →: Kansas City Chiefs: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings
Last week: 25 (-2) Record: 0-2 Matt Cassel is a limited quarterback, so their best chances of making the playoffs would have been to follow the solid defense, good running game, conservative offense, easy schedule, don’t make mistakes model they made it on in 2010. That doesn’t work so well…

Continue reading →: Miami Dolphins: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#28)
Last week: 27 (-1) Record: 1-1 Ryan Tannehill is going to have days like he had in the opener (20-36 219 yards, 3 interceptions) and days like he had last week (18-30 200 yards, 1 touchdown). He’s a raw rookie with 19 collegiate starts. He’s going to be inconsistent. I…

Continue reading →: Cincinnati Bengals: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#29)
Last week: 29 (+0) Record: 1-1 I’m still sticking with the whole, the Bengals are overrated thing. A 7 point win over the Browns doesn’t change that. If anything, it enforces it. The Bengals also rank 31st in the league in yards per play differential, allowing 1.9 yards per play…

Continue reading →: Jacksonville Jaguars: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#30)
Last week: 28 (-2) Record: 0-2 Remember when Blaine Gabbert looked like a functional quarterback? That was fun. Against Houston, Gabbert finished 7-19 for 53 yards, after leaving with an injury and in the middle of the 3rd quarter, he was averaging less than 1 yard per pass attempt. His…

Continue reading →: Oakland Raiders: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#31)
Last week: 31 (+0) Record: 0-2 I called this team overrated before the season and said they were one of the worst teams in the league and an ugly 35-13 loss to the Dolphins is making that look pretty good. The new regime has a lot of promise, but they…
