BillyBilliams Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Power rankings are all opinion based content. Regardless, it's not that far off. Eagles have lost two straight games, and one of them was by double digits against a team they ABSOLUTELY should have beaten. Kansas City has struggled to beat a VERY bad team in 3 of their last 4 games. 49ers struggled to beat another very bad team playing a QB they literally snagged from the streets. They were already ahead of Cincy in his power rankings, so it makes sense. 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Have the "Power Rankings" somehow became impactful to how the season plays out of affect seeding, or home field or byes, or wins, or SB. Mainly have Power Rankings affected any on field part of football? Until that answer is yes I will continue to ignore "Power Rankings" 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StHustle Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 We are tied for least amount of losses in the entire league plus still on a 6 game win streak. How does any power ranking lose credibility by putting us at #1??? 5 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been saying this forever, just like the popularity contest otherwise known as Pro Bowl is meaningless.  Yes, it’s nice we are ranked #1, but the things that matter to me is first AFC Champion, then World Champion.  I respect a great deal more SB Champ, and the players of the year, rookies of the year, and all pro honors as well as MVP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapperCam Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Eagles have lost 2 in a row, KC scraped by a terrible Denver team. If the Bills won Monday night they would have been #1 for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I mean it's been Buffalo love all week. So just take it and be happy things are looking up. Even Nick Wright wore a Bills cap the other day on his show and listed Buffalo at the top of his hierarchy (power rankings).

Rew Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) 7 hours ago, Coldfronts said: Ok, then why did cincy fall one spot? The author states his reasoning fairly briefly, but clear. After seeing the eagles without Hurts he drops them 2 spots. Bills and Chiefs remain unchanged relative to each other. The author appeared to be uncertain on Purdy, but his most recent performance gave him the confidence to move the niners ahead of the Bengals and Eagles. While you may or may not agree with his ranking, the delta from prior week doesn't seem to have anything to do with Hamlin.

BigAl2526 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 There is very little separating the top five teams. No team is an unbeatable juggernaut. Week to week circumstances will affect the order in the eyes of observers. That's just the reality of the situation.
