Well Batimore fired their coach and their qb has gone in the tank but other than that im not sure. Those rankings do seem pretty consistant, at least following the betting. Im curious, has the AFC gotten tougher? Theres the Chargers as well.Sibelius Hindemith wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2026 6:09 pmWhat did Buffalo do to be ranked that high? Baltimore too.
I remember when #5 in the Power Rankings was good!

Re: I remember when #5 in the Power Rankings was good!
I didn't think Buffalo had much going for them besides Josh Allen but perhaps they had a great off-season. Even when they have a great roster it's a given that they'll choke down the stretch and then lose early in the playoffs to one of the several teams that seem to have their number. I wouldn't lay a Mexican peso on those chokers.

Gotta love the Hawks getting the week 1 game @ home against the Pats and then getting to watch the Niners/Rams destroy each other the next day followed by a nice trip to the AZ- Lazy River to hand out a quick beatdown to the Cards - Hopefully working out the new offensive kinks before the trip to Washington -

The Ravens mention got me going too. How much Hopeium do you have to snort to think Lamar Jackson will stayDonn Beach wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2026 4:46 pmBut its been LA, Denver, Buffalo and Baltimore. I was surprised to see the Ravens ahead of them and the Pats seems odd too. But who knows, that was last season, this is a new season. MM will tell you that himself, new season, new team. Its not running it back, its running it forward
healthy this year and the Ravens therefore are likely better than the Seahawks?
I like watching Lamar and wish him no ill-will, but for me, it's pretty obvious he doesn't give a fuck.
I would not trade him for Sam at equal salaries.

Yeah, Jackson was ranked 69th in the last top 100 players. It will be interesting what kind of season he can put togethertrharder wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2026 12:37 amThe Ravens mention got me going too.

You should get a kick out of this, ESPN ranking the most impactful off season moves. The Eagles signing Woolen is ranked as more impactful than the Seahawks drafting Price
I can't paste the link for some reason

From the current Mike Vorel article, current odds. Seahawks really are a journeyman type team talent wise. I credit MM with a significant amount of their success. That the rest of the country hasnt bought in isnt really that outragious. They still need to prove it.

So the Patriots and Broncos have regressed and the Chiefs with Mahomes back will continue to struggle? Weird...

I was thinking, we like to view it as, the Rams, the Seahawks, and the rest of the league. The rest of the league views it as the Rams and the rest of the league.Sibelius Hindemith wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2026 11:40 amSo the Patriots and Broncos have regressed and the Chiefs with Mahomes back will continue to struggle?
