Power RAnkings

The playoffs have arrived! It's been a crazy season with so much topsy turvy turnover, I'm truly tongue-tied. With a tough win against a great team, the Seahawks ascend to 1st supplanting the still blazing-hot 2nd ranked Patriots. The Rams hold at 3rd with a win and the return of Davante Adams, among many others to become a superpower team. Don't let the seeding fool you. Speaking of super power teams, the Jaguars at 4 still seem like the most complete team in the AFC, and could beat any of the teams here, but I gotta rank em all somewhere, folks, no ties allowed at If These Balls Could Talk. Speaking of, our pod's site has the full list of these rankings every week, who knew?! Mark, put a link here somewhere so people can peruse at their leisure. I feel like there's a drop, albeit small, down to 5 where the Texans and their ridiculous defense lurks...they're coming for you, and their pass rushers are set to kill mode. The 49ers, Broncos, and Bears all shimmy down a spot to 6, 7, and 8, but they're all powerful, and could dominate with the right opponent matchup...just like those Battle Beast toys from the 80s. Next are the 9th ranked Bills coming off a win and an emotional sendoff of their stadium of 53 years. Thank you Buffalo and the Goo Goo Dolls, that was truly magical. Too bad you f'ed up some easy wins and now have to play every playoff game on the ROAD! Ugh. The Eagles got some rest, but did they also get some rust falling to 10th? Chargers and Packers at 11th and 12th are hard to read. They COULD go on a deep run, but too many injuries have really hurt their chances. And lastly, the try-hard Steelers at 13th and Panthers at 14th. One got in cause of a freakishly missed game winning field goal, and the other rose 8 spots and got the NFC 4th seed on a multi-tie-break technicality after a loss...da fug? Best of luck to everyone! Please note all teams below this are now covered in a shroud of sadness and won't be mentioned again til after the playoffs. Damn do the Jets suck, though. ~ Pete
