ESPN Power(less) Rankings for week 11

He's a total ass. I asked him how he could continue to ignore the second best team in the NFC week after week and he said something about there not being any compelling storylines. Really? You mean a running back tandem that combined for 2,300+ and 28 TDs isn't compelling? Undefeated at home? The absurdly tight NFC South race? Hell, even after the Giants/Panthers game last week, he wrote about Chad Pennington instead of the game between the top two NFC teams.

these rankings are always a joke. Saints at #1? LOL. I guess Colts beating the Pats, and Saints BARELY beating the Rams warrants them a better ranking.. They deserve to be #2, don't get me wrong, but they are playing sloppy ass football these past few weeks, don't they have like 12 turnovers in 3 games?

Broncos shouldn't be in the top 10, Eagles should be a lot lower(near the 20'ish mark, and Carolina and Miami should have moved up a few spots at least.

While that may be true to each and every one of US...I challenge you to goto NFC East, South, West forums and all AFC forums and ask them if they give half a damn about the Panthers. You'll get an almost majority reply of "no". Charlotte is not a major city and it's in the South. He's correct, no one cares. The sooner you accept it, the sooner lack of coverage will insult you.

I don't even have a problem with Saints at No. 1. Yes, they are making a ton of mistakes, but they are winning in spite of them. Not many teams would be able to do that (as evidence by last year's No. 1 offense, 8-8 Saints squad).

I might give the edge to the Colts, but the Saints, I think, might be the more complete team.

    • KP is not a straight up carbon copy but they look awful close to me.  T
    • You are right. At the same time I don’t think people are watching games going come on Bryce put it on the ground or sail it OB or whatever. They just have trouble seeing him turning his 3 or four or five top games of 2025 into the weekly standard outing. Which you expect for the kind of money he will ask for (speaking for myself anyway).  
    • In terms of comparing Pickett and Young's arm talent it's basically a push at best. Pickett is sitting at 6.2 yards per pass attempt for his career while Bryce sits at 6.0 Last season Bryce was 6.3 in yards per pass attempt. Only Justin Fields Spencer Rattler (both 6.2) Kyler Murray (6.0) 41 year old Joe Flacco (6.0) 44 year old Phillip Rivers (5.9) rookie Cam Ward (5.9) and Tyrod Taylor (5.8) had less pass yards per attempt than Bryce Young in his third season as a starter. Folks going around acting as if it is beyond the pale to say Pickett might have a better arm than Young are living in an alternate reality. You can choose to not believe your own eyes after 46 games but everyone else will acknowledge reality and move forward accordingly.
