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

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
