Rankings are all over the place but all in the top 10. It seems to be consensus that we're a top 10 team, but I notice in a few of the rankings we're in the top 5? Where would you rank us?

I'd say the only thing that has me worried is our lack of any sembelance of a deep passing threat. Otherwise our secondary showed up much better at home, pass rush was good, and our run game has been on point in the 2nd half of the season and is trending up with Kalil back. And I think Olsen will get in the swing of things this week or next week and help the passing game. 

My personal list would be : 

  1. Patriots
  2. Steelers
  3. Eagles
  4. Vikings
  5. Saints
  6. Panthers
  7. Rams
  8. Jags
  9. Chargers
  10. Falcons
  11. Chargers
  12. Cheifs 
  13. Cowboys (Got Sean Lee back, get Zeke back on 12/24)
  14. Ravens 
  15. Seachickens
  16. Bills

Its debatable whether the Jags or Rams are better than us . I think we're a more complete team than the Jags , Rams are more explosive but our staff/players have much more playoff experience

I think we can beat any team on a good day , but would have a very tough time if we need to play the saints again at the dome. Everyone else don't scare me too much tho.

My personal opinion is that power ranking should more closely reflect the actual head-to-head matchup results. Panthers beat several of the teams ranked ahead of it on the rankings. I’m not saying we should be number one or two but number eight seems to be a little low. My vote was number four spot. We just defeated a ten and two team

I think around 5 or 6 is just right. 

I have us as the 3rd best NFC team, and IMO only the Steelers and possibly the Pats are better from the AFC....and the Pats is pushing it, as we beat them in their home, and dropped 40 in the Dolphins, whom the Pats just lost to. 

Solidly in the top 10 - knocking on the door of Top 5.

#3 with just Aints and Steelers ahead of us. Aints because they’ve swept us and handled us pretty recently, and I don’t put a ton of stock in that sloppy Thursday night game. Steelers can win on O or D and are the hottest team right now. Couldn’t think of a good case for any other team being above us.

Gonna be tough for the Saints to beat us 3 times in a row. Not quite sold on the Rams but have to give them the nod based on what their offense has done. The NFC really is wide open. Winning out and getting some help from the Falcons would be amazing.

Super Bowl 52: 

Jacksonville vs Carolina

This was actually a "what-if" scenario from one of the older Madden games, like PSX or SNES era. It was the battle of the expansion teams SB. Would be pretty cool to see it actually happen.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?

      When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
