Power Rankings

Considering the wide receivers don't get separation and for all the picks thrown at the interior of the defense they're still not strong there, how wrong is he?

As Buddy Nix alluded to, Rodgers covers up all manner of warts.

As my old buddy Oldstool would say: that's pretty lazy analysis. "Take the QB off that team and they suck" is true of almost every team that is not NE. It's why QBs get paid so much money, they're the most important players on the team. Of course they're critical to a team's success.

I don't think they're 5-11 without Rodgers, but I don't think they're a top 3 team in the NFC. The offense is designed around Rodgers and his abilities, but if Hundley is starting I think the offense would change to suit his needs...similarly to how NE has changed the scheme to suit Garapalo and Dallas has changed for Prescott. The only time we remember losing Rodgers, the team took a nosedive, but that was mostly because the backup QBs were brutal. Hundley is a much more competent backup and player who could manage a game just fine. 

GB is number 1 on ESPN's rankings and Patriot and Vikings fans lost their collective minds. I suppose it generates clicks but I swear some NFL fans equate these to BCS rankings. This isn't the NCAA son.

FWIW, this was the 1st time GB ranked number one on ESPN since I believe 2014.

Tweet it to TJ Lang or Datone Jones or Rodgers.

They'll see it

Bob McGinn thinks they can go 11-5 without Rodgers. 

If a tweet would make Datone Jones produce I'd mainline him to Drumpher town.

I liked what I seen from Datone and Perry on Sunday. More of that please. 

Perry was good.  If he stays healthy he could finally have a true "break out" year.  Jones, I just assumed he's adjusting.  He was mixing it up.  

Jones did a lot of dirty work in the run D on Sunday.

Seattle should have lost at home, and yet they are still ranked #6? Clowns.

Exactly.  For the life of me I don't know why they bother doing power rankings for the NFL.  The NFL isn't a beauty contest like college football is and it doesn't matter what a team is ranked it what takes place on the field is what matters.

But, that being said I do freaking love seeing Vikings fans losing their minds.  Just like their team lost every championship opportunity.

Thought some of the other power rankings had the Packers a bit too high and that's about right. Hard to really judge the team until there's a better read on exactly where the offense is and that should come Sunday. Queen offense appears to be lackluster but Zimmer's defenses have always done a pretty good job against AR.
