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

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
