Week 1 Power Rankings.
Every Year Since 2021, The “Double M Machine” Puts Out A Pound Of Copy CalledA NFL Power Ranking; It’s Customary, It’s Law. With Year 2 In Full Go—They Grow Up So Fast, We Had To Proceed With The Standard. I Jump To The Pad And Pencil before Preseason Flicked Off, But The Heavy Hitting “Offseason” Sent in More Jolts To Word Processor Than the LoFi And Coffee Could Even Out. Brandon McManus Gave Me some Confidence After Monday. It’s Early And Im Not The Only Person Over Estimating Myself .
1)Kansas City Chief-
No Matter Where You Stood Along The Lines Of The N.F.L. Zeitgeist This Off Season, Every Team Entered The Fold With Questions To Answer. None More Than The Chiefs, who Not Only Answer Their Calling But Surpassed All Levels Of Those Preconceived notions. Any Quips About A Offense Lacking Fire Power Patrick Mahomes Demolished Said Notions. On Sunday, Mahomes Finished with A Near Perfect Passer Rating, And That’s Without A Perfect Game. The Chiefs Proved—At Least On Sunday—In This World Of Offense, There Are Levels To This Game. In The End, We Like Us More Than We Like.
2)Buffalo Bills- After One Week, The Bills Are right Back Where They Left Off Last Season and a Season Before That—Behind The Chiefs. I Can See The Distraught Josh Allen Inn His Best “Gorr the God Butcher” Impression Looking Up At The Football gods as If To say, “We Did Everything You Asked. Yet The Chiefs Continue To Spurn Us.” . look, The gods Are Cruel. The Bills Were Impressive In Their Moments Thursday But Far From “Unblemished.” The Ran Roughshod Over a Rams Team Clearly In A Weight Class, Of Lower Than The Elite Tier. Can The Bill Continue To Depend On Josh Allen’s Arm In When The Run Game Breaks Down? The Bills Offensive Line Created Steams Of Pressure, But Can They Consistently Pull Off That Level of Play?
3)Tampa Bay Buccaneers- The Buccaneer's Defense Controlled The Game on Opening Night. Holding The Cowboys To Three Points And Thats Fittin Redemptions. I’m Not Saying The Levante David, Devin White, or Vita Vea Lead Unit Lost The Playoff Game For Bucs Against The Rams Last Year. The offense, Rusty. Brady Back From Retire; More “Kingdom Come Than “Balck Album”. He And The Number Unit From Last Year Looked Like A Caricature, A Ghost Of Its Past Glory. Sure, The Pertinent Obstructions In The Offensive Dictate The Play Calls. But The Sequence Of Plays Called Seemed Suited For The other Florida Team A Few Miles South, Not The High Power Down Field Driven Marauders Of Tampa.
4)Los Angeles Chargers— Justin Herbert Doesnt Care If The Window Comes Open. If His Feets Not Set Or The Play Caller Had The Next Diwn In Mind On The Play Script. Herbert Will Get the Ball Off without The Slightest Repect For Your Cornerbacks Effforts To Effect The Pass. The PlayThe Chargers Survived, Well, Themselves To Notch An Impressive Victory Over A Rival. The Justin Herbert Tear On The League Has Only Just Begun. What’s Scary? We Haven’t Seen The Best Of This Team Yet, With Injuries And Integration And Such. What’s More, We Haven’t Seen The Worse Either.
5)Minnesota Vikings— Kevin O’Connell Standing Over A gurney With His Experiment Supine Across the Table. His Lab Tattered With The Mess Of Brain Work. He Flips The Switch, Connecting To His Experiment—one thousand Volts Of Confidence and License. Across the Table, A notebook Reads: Kirk Cousins M.V.P. Chances; “It’s alive.” Kirk Needs Another Cavalcade Of “Wholesome” Performances To Stay On Board With The Fore Runners Already Ahead Of Him. If He Can Calm Down Some Of The “Humdrummery,” He might Catch A Vote. Cousins Top Receiver Might Emerge As The Greatest Threat To His M.V.P. Bid.
6)Philadelphia Eagles—Jalen Hurts Has His Eyes Trained On The Moment, On The Job, On AJ Brown. He Hit His Marks On Sunday. His Game Has Made Strides, Or At Least He Didn’t “Regress.”. But I’m Torn To Say, “He’s Still The Same.” He Didn’t Look Off A Safety Or thread Banff Balance Miss Time Throw. He’s Still Just Jalen. He Treated The Middle Of The Field Like “Holy Ground.” He Came Close. Even Daring To That Line Between The Outside and The Forbidden Zone Between Hashes. The Middle Remained Generally Inoculated Has He Catered To The Outside. Hurts Demonstrated His Potential As An Offensive Weapon According To ESPN, Between Passing And Running Hurts Account for 73% of the Eagles' offense(that Number Deflates To Around 48% When Adjusted For Inflated Yards after The CATCH). Hurts Also Has The Hurdle Of Keeping Everyone In The Receiving Core Active. These Are Only Week One Assessments, But Continuity Goes an Along Way In The Development Of A “Good” Quarterback.
7) Washington Commanders—
I Bought Into The Contending Commanders Heavy And Early Last Season. Hey, Don’t Look At Me Like That; their D-Line Looked overwhelming At Times Last Season. Yes, I Watched As Their Playoff Fizzled To a Halt. This Year I Didn’t Drink The Kool-Aid In The Pre-Game. Then Scott Turner’s Offense Hit The Field. With A New Quarterback Whose Old News. But The Puppet Master Has moved. Turner Played His Role as Offensive Coordinator To A The Put His Playmakers In Positions To Win The Game. Carson Wentz Had A few Miscues But Went 300 Yards On 41 Tosses For Four Touchdowns and Two Interceptions. For Someone Whose Had His Name Dragged all Offseason, That Stat Looks Admittedly Impressive. We were No Longer In 2020, Tussling With The Jags In 2022, Nothing to Scoff At In the Least.
8)Pittsburgh Steelers— The Steelers Gutted Out A Tough, Extended Game out Of The Teeth Of The Bengals. I’m Going To Knock Them For Allowing The Bengals To Recapture A Chance At Winning The Game. Wins Don’t Come By Easy In The N.F.L., Especially Against A Divisional Foe. At Costly Victory With The Loss Of T. J. Watt. Nobody Can Replace That Gravity He Brings To The Edge. Alex Highsmith Took On The Brunt Of The Quarterback Terrorizing Duties. He’s In The Third Year Of His Rookie, and The Promising Pass Rusher Finished With Three Sacks, Three In 57 pass Rush Snaps. Who Needs A Defensive Player Of The Year When You Have Trubisky?
9)Cleveland Browns— All The Controversies aside, The Browns Are Still One Of Few Football teams To Talk About, and That “Magnetic” Attribute Of The Brown Might Explain Why they flummox Everyone. According To PFF, The Brown’s Coverage Team Lead The League In “Perfectly Covered Plays,” Plays Where The brown’s Players Earned a Static(Zero Grade) Or Better. The Coverage Unit Made The Difference On Sunday. Even Without Facing the Panthers Again This Season, Their Defense Should Travel. Credit The Team’s Management And Team Building Strategy. The Browns Are Finally Equip To Overcome The One Thing They Couldn’t In Years Pass, A “fledglings” Quarterback. Jacoby Brissett’ Averaged 4.3 yards per attempt On Sunday. But Nick Chubb Average 6.4 Yards Per Carry. You Take Those Days When You Can And Trust That Your Top Bell Cow H.A.S. a Lot More In The Tank. Chubb Finished Two Season Number 1: Running back Grading According To PFF And Never Outside The Top Ten. The Browns Have One of The Easiest Schedules To Go. The Offensive Line Hasn’t Lost Its Stride, Even When Nick Chubb Zooms In Right From Behind A PULLING Guard Or Tackle.
10)Baltimore Ravens— the Ravens Took Down The Jets 24-9. None Of That Feel Pertinent. We’ve Known Lamar “In A Contract Year” Jackson Can Throw The Ball Deep. (If You Haven’t Heard, He’s Done Talking About The Contract, But We Haven’t Heard The Last Of It). He can lock on Small Windows, Nail targets, Escape The Pocket, And Survive Big Hits. Can He Win Big Games On Arm Talent Alone? He Took Six Drives To Put one Touchdown Up On A Team Taking an Obvious Flyer This Year. Even More Alarming, He Missed A Number zig “Gimme” Throws Deep And Over The Middle. The Ravens Get A Free Parking This Week, Opponents Are Not Their Fault. But I Can’t Run A proper Litmus Test On This Team With A Proper Opponent. Also, Elite Secondary My…
11)Denver Broncos--Losing A Low score, High Emotion Game To The Seahawks Left Me With “Mixed Feelings” About These Broncos. Offensively The Broncos Crab Walk Through The Play Sheet. On A WEEKEND When THE gears and Units Of Offensive Locomotion Looked “Doleful” And Rusty, the Broncos Had The “Thing” Going, Until They Didn't. Even Though They Got Off To Slow Start, The Broncos Covered 430 Yards Of Off Offense With Russell Wilson Most Straddled To Chucking Up Short Passes, Collecting Check downs And Darts To The Flat Like Rings In Sonic The Hedgehog Game. Wilson Averaged Just 3.8 Completed Air Yard Per Throw Finished With 340 yards On 42 Attempts. He Had One Deep Blast To Jerry Jeudy. (If We’re Lucky, We’ll Get Two More Of Those From On The Season.) Nathaniel Hackett Had His Game Plan. The First Year Head Coach Didn’t Want The “Festivities” Of The Moment To Overshadow The Game. But He Played Into Seattle’s Hands; Methodical, Conservative Drives. The Broncos Almost Gained 200 More Yards Than the Seahawks (433-253). The Loss Boils Down To Down The Two-Goal Line Fumbles. Long Drives preceded those Two Fumbles. The First Fumble, The One Lost At the Hands Of Melvin Gordon, Came After The Broncos March 78 Yards In Ten Plays To Endzone. That March Ate Away Almost Eight Minutes Of Game Time, Essentially Shortening The Game, With The Momentum On Your Side Increases Your Chances To Win But Also Shortens Your Room For Error. With 16 Possessions Share Between Two Teams, The Game Boils Down To Execution, An Aspect Of The Game The Broncos Didn’t Master In This zine. Botch Fourth Down Call Aside, Nathaniel Hackett Made The Correct Declaration, “definitely Should’ve….”No, The Other Statement He Made "we shouldn't have been in that situation," Fourteen Teams Start Week 2 With A One Loss Record. The Broncos Have The Most To Look Ahead Over The Next Sixteen Games.
12)Indianapolis Colts—
The Colts Generated 517.0 Yards Worth Of Offense. Matt Ryan Come Of His “Anus Horiblis” But Couldn’t Score In The Fourth Quarter To Beat Out The Texans. Matt Ryan And Frank Reich Pick Their Spots In Passing Game. The Offensive Coaching Staff Ditched Fifty Or More Dropbacks Last Season To Carson Wentz Just Once and Forty Or More Just Three Times. By Season End, The Colts revoke Wentz's License To Play. The Colts Surely Don’t Want The Two Eras Compared—no Reservations On Ryan Thus Far. The Connective Tissues Between Quarterback and Lead Receiver Michael Pittman Jr. Are Developing Fibrous Roots. The Passing Game Just Appeared A lot Less Tense. Not Loose Or Fluid But In Better Care. The Colts Defense Finished The Game With The Critical Sacks if Only To Keep The Texans From Winning. I Like The Colts. They Let A Hungrier Team Outplay Them.
13)Detroit Lions—
I Never Thought I Would Feature The Lions This Close To The Top Ten. The Football World Doesn’t Turn On Its Head Quite Often. The Lions Put Up 35 Points Of Unadulterated Offense. Almost Caught A Dub
On An Eagles Team Most Suspected As Walk-Off Favorites. What’s More, After A Weekend Of Some Of The Best Running back Play In Recent Dawn Of The Pass Revolution, D’Andre Swift Walk Away With the Best Grade By PFF. Grading Subjective because They Are Perform Humans But No Doubt Swift Look The Part Of His Name Sake And The Acclaim. He Forced Missed Tackle and Collected Miles Of Grass after Contact. The Passing Has A Way To Fo to Meet The Bar, and Whether Jared Goff Can Meet Those “Expectations,” DON’T hold Your Breathe. When My Friends(?) Ask,” Whose Got You Feeling This way About The Lions? That Offensive Line; Absolute Lawnmowers Up Front.
14)New Orleans Saints—
When We Talk About “Getting It Out Of The Mud,” We’re Talking About The Saints. The Dennis Allen Saints play A Grungy Brand Of Football. with Sean Payton Now Living Up In The Booth, A Few Laughs, Calling Games For N.B.C. His Team Embraces Getting Their Hands Dirty, Wrestling Balls Away, And Forcing Turnovers. Somehow The Offense Found Life. James Winston An Michael Thomas Dragged A Win Out Of The Swamp. Too Much Of This Game Resembled The Falcons Throwing A Game Away rather The “Resilient” Saints Making March Upon March To The End zone. Michael Played Ball After Two Years Out. Thomas Caught two Touchdowns. If You Use A Wildcat Offense, I Can’t Trust You.
15)Atlanta Falcons—
I Have To Give Arthur Smith His Roses. That Pistol Offense is a Perfect Fit for the Options He Has On Offense. Innovative Even, Then It Stopped. Marcus Mariota Look Like The Second Coming Of Marcus Mariota. He averaged 6 Yards Per carrying On 12 For 74 Yards; The Passing Looked Optional At Times With a Former Number 2 pick In The Gun. Limitations Set In. Defense Figure You Out And Hit Back. Talent Scarcity Hits Even. Coaches Can Only Generate So Much Offense(Points And Yard) Through Scheme). The Falcons Don’t Have Too Many receivers Who Can Win One On One Or Run Deep Routes Consistently. Mariota Finished 0/2 On Deep Routes. Those Turnovers Hit All Around.
16)Tennessee Titans— The Titans Carried Home 6 Of 8 One Score Games Last Season, So Far The Tables Have Turned. Close Games Run Along Thin Levers That Controlled And Switches That Triggers Control Happenstance. In Football, The Element Of Luck Shows Can Flip To anyone's Side. Muffed Punt Here A Missed Field Goal. All Of That Turns The Tide In Close Games. Mike Vrabel, And The Titans’ Offensive Staff Need To Center Their Focus On Trusting Tannehill To Drop Back More Than 35 Times a Game. The Titan’s Wide Receiver Struggled With Drops. The Offense Needs To Focus Less On Controlling The Rock— Not Playing Lose, Rather Than Focusing On Winning—and Finishing Game Stronger. The Titans Also Got Shredded For 238 Yards On The Ground. Talk About Getting A Taste Of Your Own Medicine.
17)Chicago Bears—For Matt Eberflus, Getting That First Win Out Of The Way, On Long Season, he Feels A Short Sigh Of Relief For What Might Unravel As A Tortuous Journey To Win Number Two. “That’s what you’ve got to do in the N.F.L... It’s always going to be complicated.” Eberflus Told Reporters.(Chicago Tribune) Fortunately, The Bear Had A Few Tricks Up. Or Better Said A Trick, Justin Fields. Facing The Elements, Fields Made Sprite Plays. Through Eight Completions, Seventeen Attempts, Feild Took What Would Originally Be Ground Offense Through the Air. He Scrambled, But Didnt Look Rushed Or Panicked. He Took What The Defense Gave Him, If Anything. The Niners shaded His Moves much Of The Game. Much Of The Screen Looked Like a pointillist Picture With Reds Draining Over The Orange. With So Much Of the action Funnelled To Justin Feilds, At You Wish He Had a Safety Valve Target To Trust. Trey Lance Stood In The Storm Without Tight End Greg little Fields Hss No Number One To Miss. Darnell Mooney Got The Most Targets From Feilds, And Dante Pettis Caught The fields Fifty yard Strike. Without a True Number One, Justin Fields Must Develop Not Just The Skill But The Urge To Locate A Number Of His Playmakers Instead Of Keying In On One Guy. On Defense, The Bears Secondary Looked Alive.
18)New York Giants— Who Saw Saquon Barkley Coming once More. Breaking Loose Down The Sideline, Skipping Over Tackles, Lower His Shoulder(If Needed” I just want to show the Giants that the guy they drafted is still here," He Did Out The Gate 9 Per Rush, 161 Rush Yards, and 196 In Total Scrimmage Yards. In Spots Last Season, Barkley Showed Glimpses Of Creativity. The Rust From the A.C.L. Tear. In A Contract Year, He’s Silence doubters. The Giants Can’t Expect To Rely On Saquon, Amassing 46% Of Their Offensive Yardage All Season. Right Now, The Giants Don’t Need Wins. I Can Envision Brian Daboll's Offense Continuing To Have Success Against Coverage Base Defense With Thin Defensive Lines. But How Are They Going To Face Off With As The Season Progresses?
19)San Fransisco 49ers— The Star Power Refracts Our(Or Some Of Our) View Of The Niners Offense. Their Brand Of West Coast has Pervaded The Football Psyche So Deep Our Football Brains Immediately Associate The Niners Offense, and That’s Just Not The Case. Kyle Shanahan, Mastermind No Doubt But The Run Heavy Run Scheme Doesn’t Produce “Explosive,” “High Powered” Number. They Finished Near The Bottom In Passing D.V.O.A. And Just Thirteenth In Rushing D.V.O.A. I’m Not Surprised They Struggled to Transition Into A New Quarterback. Once Starting Running-back Elijah Mitchell Went Down, The Offense was Grounded In Bad Chicago Weather. The Niners Front Four Had a fierce Go At Matching Athleticism To Athleticism With Justin Fields. For Their Trouble, Bosa And The Boys Took Home 12 Pressures And 2 Sacks. Both Teams Faced The Weather. One Team Wanted To wand in, and The Other Team Wanted To Play. Are We Going To Get More Of Trey Lance? Those 35 Drop backs Felt Like More Than Enough. With Elijah Mitchell Out Of the Lineup, Perhaps We’ve Only Seen The Beginning Of What Lance Can Achieve In This Offense.
20)Jacksonville Jaguars— Only Time Will Tell If The Losing To Washington A Close Game To Washington Will Reflect Positively On The Jags. If The Commanders Continue To Win, Then a One Score Lost Does Little To Dull The Shine On The New Look Jag. But Make No Mistake—An Idea The Jaguars receiver Should Hold Onto If They Could— The Jags Squandered A Game. The Defense Had Swarming Presence At The Line Of Scrimmage. The. Jaguars Rolled Out One Of The Youngest Defenses On Sunday, On Average, Around 25 Years Old, With The Youngest Secondary, And This Factoid Showed. Most Of The Key Cogs Are Well Under Thirty. Travon Walker, Tyson Campbell, Josh Allen, And Devin Lloyd Look Shell Shock As The Commanders Move The Ball As The Jags Defense Fell Like Dominoes. Like A Physical Being Through A Abstract Object. Then The Jags Got Active On Defense. They Closed In On Wentz’s Window(Cutting His Passer Rating Almost In Half), Forced Two Interception and Four Straight Empty Possessions To Start The Half. The Jaguars Offense Began Converting Drives Into Points. With A Flurry Of Runs and Thread of The Needle Deep Pass, The Jaguars Capitalized On Turn Overs. Trevor Lawrence Didn’t Have A Break Out Game, But He Had Those Stop, Star,e, and Marvel At The “Power Of The gods” Type Throw. In They Are Still The Jags. Doug PedePederson'sense Looked Competent. The Jags Should Continue To Give “Higher” Teams Scares. Christian Kirk Gave Washington’s Vulnerable Secondary Doses Of Upside. Doug Pederson Will Have To Prioritize Scheming Combination Stacks Formation In The Slot And One On One Speed Route On The Outside. Opposing Teams Are Going Locate Kirk At All Time After His “Breakout” Performance.
21) Oakland Raiders—
Two General Thoughts Of Dominated The Discussion About The Raiders’ Offense Leading Into The Season. The Reunion Of Davantae Adams And The Quite Literally “empty void” The Raiders Hav toe Station At Offensive Line. Let’s Just Say That suppositions About How Those Constitution Will Prevail Remain Unanswered Ana’In Physics, “It is believed that every galaxy is centered around one such supermassive black hole.” Black Holes Consist And Generate So Much Force And Immense Energy They Can Direct And Control The Movements And Traffic Of Stars And Object and Even Spacetime. Nothing Can Escape THe Pull, But The Galaxy Anomaly Exist Almost To Themselves, almost Entirely To Consume. When Davantae Adams Moved To Vegas, The Projections We’re Boundless, The Best Receiver In The Sport, The Greatest “Force Multiplier,” Would Use His Massive Gravity To Reshape The Raiders Near the Bottom Offense. Thus Far, He’s Absorbed All The Light From The Other Raider Stars. If Follow Foot You’ve Read The Stat Sheets By Now: Derek Carr Targeted Adams Seventeen Times. The Results Were Admirable, 10 Catches, 141 Yards On 17 Targets. The By-Product, Quarterback Derek Carr Didn’t Peer Into His telescope At Any Of His Other Receivers More Than Six Times. The Raiders Couldn’t Take Advantage of Adam’s “Gravity,” Instead The Raiders Produced -1.91 Net Yard/Dr. Not Only Did The Offense Have To Overcome The Ball Distribution Disparity. The Chargers Defense Left Derek Carr Almost Inconsolable Without Protection. The Raider’s Ignoble Offensive Line Live Up to Its Expectation: six sacks, Nine Qb Hits, and two Forced Fumbles. Carr Also Through Two Picks Under Pressure, Adding Up To three interceptions. The Offensive Line Woes Won’t Go Away OverNight, But The Raiders Need To Run A “Quicker” Offense. After Sunday’s Game, The Raider Finished 25th In Pace Of Play. The Raider Finished 25th In Pace Of Play. The Best Way To Generate More Opportunities For Receivers To Feed a Stay Active, Generate More Possessions.
22)Seattle Seahawks—
“I Don’t Want To Save[The Team]. I Want To Go Down With It.”—The Joker, I Picture Pete Carroll Obstainately Rebutting Objection To His Style Of Coaching.
When People/Society Talks About “stubborn.” Elderly they’re Referring To Men Of Cloth Pete Carroll. The Seahawks Ran 49 Offensive Plays In Total. The Seahawks Finished Near The Bottom In Plays Ran Last Year As Well And One Of The Weakest Offenses In The League. Carroll, The Septuagenarian Doesn’t Want Too Much Excitement. Slow And Steady Won The Race Against The Broncos. So How Seattle Didn’t Score A Point After Midway Through The Game? On their Final Two(Discounting The Kneel Down), the Seahawks Ran Twelve plays and Gained ten YardsAnd Came Away With WinThe Broncos Nearly Double The SeaHawks In Offensive Production. In Monday’s Game, Circumstance Prevail Over Talent. How Many Games Will Geno Smith Complete 23/28 For a 119.8 and Two Touchdowns; Not Many. Star Wideout DK Metcalf Caught All Of His Targets, But The Seahawks Offense kept Their 72 Million Dollar Man-Beast Mostly Tamed. Who Needs A Jumbo Size Wide Receiver When You Have, Running The Ball, Tight End Screen, And Geno Smith Scrambling? Soon, The Seahawks Will Have To “Win” A Game On Strength Ability And Practice, Not On The Zaniest Of Outcomes.
23)Green Bay Packers—Break The R.E.L.A.X. Class in Incase The Packers Get Off To An Inauspicious Start Out Of The Gate. Nothing About The Packers Offense Appeared Prepared Especially Juxtaposed To The “Suddenly” Cutting-edge Vikings. The Packers Are A Offensive Complex Mostly On Repute. They Builds And Stack Possession By Possession To Keep Teams Crawling Back Into Games. Falling behind Early(and Big)Doesn’t Bode Well For The Packers, and Vikes Played their offense In Perfect To Attack The Packers Style. On Defense, Either Joe Barry Failed Outright To Game-plan For Justin Jefferson, Or The Game-plan Return was Ineffective. Like Rabbit Season Opened And Jefferson Had The Guns. The Packers Very Talented Secondary, No Contest. Jaire Alexander, Eric Stokes Both Isolated And Torn To Shreds. The good News. The Packers Always Bounce Back. Matt Lafleur Has Started 0-1 In Years Past Before(2-2 On Opening Weekend, Turning Around And Winning He Field In The Playoffs. Packers Rookie Receivers Were Force Into Top Spot. They Didn’t Come Prepared To Take The Lead On. Future Hall Of Fame Candidate Allen Lazard Will Return To The Lineup. The Best News is The Packer Face Justin Jefferson Again Until The Penultimate Game Of The Season: Lots Of Time To Make Up For the Rams.
24)Los Angeles Ram—
An Opening Night Drubbing At The Hands Of The Bills Shouldn’t Have Surprised anybody. If You Follow the Program, You Know The Rams Are Only In That Weight Class By Reputation, Not Credibility. I Didn’t See Too Much To Effect Of Stafford’s Ailing Elbow. The Ram’s Paid A Dothraki Army For Stafford’s Arm—I Mean, Matthew Stafford. The Entirety Of Rams Nation Took A Collective Gasp When a report Emerged That He Had A none Invasive Procedure To Quell Some Inflammation In His Elbow. John Wolford, In Case You Were Wondering(You Had To Be Wondering) That’s The Man Of Mystery Nobody Rams’ Nation To Hear Called. I’m Sorry, That’s Just The Truth. But We Hold The Dial On Wolford For Now. Stafford Brought The Arm Out Like Vash The Stampede “Unwrapping” The Punisher; An Arm “Primed” To Locate Cooper Kupp. Linking With The Offensive Player Of Year Created The Strains Of Steadiness In a Mostly Spasmodic Offense. Sean McVay Has Lost Two Offensive Coordinators In Back To Back Years. Unprecedented Transition In His Reign With The Rams. With A Dearth Of Talent At Skill Players, McVay Will Have Prove He’s The Mastermind, The Title We’ve Associate With Him.
25)Miami Dolphins—
Tua Tagged Tyreek Downfield, And Now We Can Decompress. Tua Decision Making Still Seems Hampered. He Missed A Few More Shots Down Field and Mastering Spreading The Ball Around With This Many Playmakers.
26)Cincinnati Bengals—The Bengals Are Staring Down Their New Reality. Long Time Competitive Recognize That “They Are One Of Us No.”. Fresh Face Teams Like The Bengals have To Recognize That What Got You Here won't Get You There, And Augmenting a Roster Doesn’t Augment Status.
27)Houston Texans— Davis Mills Can Throw The Ball All Over The Field. He’s Not A Laser Pointer(Accuracy and Range,) But Like Joe Burrow, He Can Make All The Throws. I Perceive That The Texans Aren’t In A Rush To Open up The Offense A lot More. Wins Are Scarcely Handed Out in the NFL Throwing Them Away Doesn’t Bode Well. The Texans Still Have an Along Way To Build Before The Texans can Conceivably Compete Long Term.
28)Arizona Cardinals—
I Don’t Think Anybody That Ran Into The Chiefs In Week One Would Have Faired Better, So I’m Not Out On The Cardinals Just Yet. They Certainly Don’t need another first-round linebacker, But This Defense Needs To Give Kyler Murray And The Offense More Support. Isaiah Simmons And Zaven Collins Got Smoke In Coverage. They Won’t Face The Chiefs Again, So I Expect a Bounce Back.
29)New England Patriots—The Patriots Emphasized Accumulating Speed In Draft, and Now We See Why, Miami Player Beat The Pats To The Spots, To The Reads, To The Adjustments. The Patriots Are Quickly Becoming A Forlorn Tech Giant Whose Innovations Change Game, But Now They No Longer Can Keep Up With Spiraling Changes around Them. The Patriots Had Execution Issues Sundays Pass. If The Offense Doesn’t Get Up To Speed, We Might Have The Patriots In Play For The Number One Pick.
30)Carolina Panthers— The Panthers Average The Highest number of Jobs On The Line In The League This Year. First, round Pock Ickey Ekwonu Just Arrived, and His Status With The Team Has Come Under Question. The Panthers Are A Competitive Bunch, No Doubt. But As An Organization Their Still Discombobulated. They Have Not Torn Down To A Rebuild, But After Not being Competitive To Just Remaining A High Budget Team
31)Dallas Cowboys— No Dak, No Dice. The Defense has Enough Talent, and The Schedule Has A lot Of Vulnerable Teams To Keep The Cowboys In The Picture. But The Eagles And The Commanders Have The N.F.C. East Ship Under Control, And The Cowboys Have To Figure out How To Catch Up.
32)New York Jets—Don’t Cut The Cord On Joe Flacco Drop Backs. “Turn That 62 To 125.” Sure He Recorded One Of the Lowest E.P.A.s Per Drop back On Sunday, But Every Passing Opportunity Gives The Jets a Chance To Put The Ball In Garrett Wilson’s Hand—That’s When The Excitement Descends On The Jets Season.
