WK 8 Power Rankings

Unless ESPN is still being completely retarded, I suspect we will be 4th on every single one which I'm totally fine with. Patriots and Packers are the clear 1 and 2 at this point, Bengals have been winning with a bit more style than we have and the Broncos are barely squeaking by bad teams.

4. Carolina Panthers (6-0, LW: 5)

Kuechly ended up being credited with 11 tackles on Sunday night. It seemed like he had about 40. What a great player.

 

But the best part of this list ...................

16. Philadelphia Eagles (3-4, LW: 12)

The Eagles would run outside. Luke Kuechly or Thomas Davis would beat everyone to the perimeter and shut it down. The Eagles would run outside. Luke Kuechly or Thomas Davis would beat everyone to the perimeter and shut it down. The Eagles would run outside. Luke Kuechly or Thomas Davis ... you get the point. Chip Kelly did not.

from the eagles site, apparently we still "haven't played anybody".

5) Carolina Panthers (LW: 5) - The Panthers are a perfect 6-0. They haven't had the toughest schedule, but they're still a very good team.

Ain't even played Bama yet, Pawl

CAROLINA PANTHERS

,

If Sunday night’s primetime victory against the Eagles didn’t do enough to convince you that Carolina is in the 2015 race for the long haul, nothing ever will. There might not be a team constructed as well as Carolina is right now. No, they don’t have an electric passing attack or flashy numbers. But, what they do have is plenty of heart, physicality and consistency. Ron Rivera has something special going on with his Panthers. It might just be the year that the underdog shocks the football world and brings a title back to Charlotte.

#5panthersb_logo.gif Carolina Panthers (6-0) - Previously: #5 - I feel kind of stupid writing this, given that I picked the Eagles to cover - albeit for no units - but it's kind of crazy that the oddsmakers aren't respecting the Panthers at all. Carolina was favored a field goal, which meant that the sportsbooks considered them even with Philadelphia, since three points are customarily given to the host. And it's not like the house was adjusting for the public; most casual gamblers were on the Panthers. Despite being in a terrible spot, Carolina won by 11. This team is pretty damn good, though I guess its record indicates that.

ESPN can suck a fat one IMO ... Between their sh1t power rankings and our condescending azz reporter david newton .. I'd rather read what SI has to say when it comes to the panthers.. That's exactly why I enjoyed hearing what Cam said about the media .. Complete jokes

    • The lines dictate the game. Always.  Defense: control the LOS and pressure the QB Offense: control the LOS and prevent pressure on the QB
    • Trevor Lawrence, Baker Mayfield, Zach Wilson and Sam Darnold are not clutch QBs. They will need defense and great game management to win consistently during the season. They are done in the playoffs when the defense and coaching can't carry the game. Don't waste time or money on them. They'll be the end of great coaching and defense in the playoffs following a strong running game during the season. Geno Smith is clutch and can contend for a championship game in the playoffs.
    • Amazes me anyone would say he's not clutch. 30.4% GWD conversion is lower level clutch like Derek Carr and Aaron Rodgers. Andy Dalton is 26.4%. Baker Mayfield is 17.5% and Sam Darnold is 12.5%. Bryce Young is 11.1%. People need to realize QB must be 60% clutch and 40% game manager in an NFL game. A couple of my QB targets are Cooper Rush at 75.0% and Desmond Ridder at 35.7%. Desmond Ridder had crazy clutch ratios like Tom Brady in their college careers. Ridder needs a coach like Canales. SB dynasty QBs are around 40% & clutch playoff QBs who make it to championship games are around 30% as a gauge. When you run this across the 64 championship QBs over the past 35 seasons you'll see the same result with a 3% to 5% swing from the start to finish of their career. This goes for the undervalued championship QBs like Case Keenum and Erik Kramer too. QBs come prepared from college knowing how to be a clutch performer. It's only the game management and system they need to be coached up on in the NFL.
