NFL: Power Rankings Per Pro Football Focus

Seahwaks at 10. I think that's fair. I was disappointed with our performance in the 2nd part of the last season. But hoping to see improvements his years. Let's bring some Wilson magic.

Good god the Saints are way too high. They are not very good now that Brees has retired, certainly not better than the Browns, Titans, Colts, Seahawks etc. I have no idea if whoever’s doing this is just clueless or if they are just basing it on last years records, but the Saints shouldn’t even be in the top half of the power rankings, I think there’s a great chance they finish last in the NFC South, their offense is going to suck.

The Pats are a bit too high as well, though they will be better this year.

The Vikings are way too low, and I think the Chargers should be higher than the Raiders and Broncos.

I agree with the Lions being in last, their roster absolutely sucks, I mean their top WR is either Breshad Perriman or Quintez Cephus, that’s fucking horrid. On the off chance Watson happens to play for them, the Texans will be okay, if he doesn’t, and he likely won’t, their QB situation will be the worst in the NFL but their overall roster is better than that of the Lions and Jets. The Jets should be second to last, their defense is basically talentless.

How? Have you seen their roster? The defense has nobody. It’s filled with worse than mediocre special teamers. Who on the offense is going to carry this team to a better record than the Jets or Lions? Watson had an MVP-worthy year last season and the Texans won 4 games. How much worse do you think they’ll be with the worst QB room in the league? If anything they’ve downgraded at coaching staff and O’Brien was already terrible. One of the most dysfunctional organizations in NFL history with Jack Easterby involved. Anyone who has this team finishing with multiple wins is honestly overrating them.

I think the Steelers and Saints should be lower. Move the Saints down to 18 and the Steelers to 19 and just leave the rest of the top 17 as is.

Bears are too high and Vikings are too low imo. I think the Vikes are currently the #2 team in the North unless Fields just balls out which I wouldn't bet on right away. Bears are just allergic to quality QB play.

I would rank the Lions ahead of the Texans for Dan Campbell's ankle biting alone.

If Rodgers doesn’t play for GB - and I don’t think he will - then the Vikings become the top team in the North. I really like the Vikings and think they are a strong, much improved team and they are way too low in the rankings. 

His legs look good though.

The muscles are impressive. I just hope the ligaments are in as good shape.

Maybe. It's hard to say with a lot of those teams. In a post-Brees-era are the Saints still a tough win the way we thought? What does anyone make of the Rams at this point? Do we buy that the Cowboys are really any good? All are up in the air.

Same with those first 3; Atlanta seems to be hot and cold from season to season, Denver always seems to be good enough everywhere else on the roster to just hinge on whether or not their current scrub QB has a decent day... Washington is likely to be a mess though. As usual... although you can't count Fitzpatrick out on any given day.

And who knows what the Giants are? They seemed to be improving towards the end of last year without a real running back, and they got some protection back and added some high profile weapons.

As always, we'll just have to wait and see.

The Giants and Eagles don't meet until Thanksgiving weekend. On one hand that feels really late for a first division game, but on the other hand we'll have a good idea of where they stand by then.
