This post right here.. is telling me you don't live in the local area. For 2023.. it was absolutely the narrative. What is " power ranking " and it's impact in the NFL? Never heard of " power ranking " as anything that matters?

Is it a college football thing?

How else would you describe how good you believe each team is in football during the season?

Week two….could be and very many times is a different team that is playing the best and hardest to beat ….than come playoff game time. Really things are ever evolving really. Injuries is the easiest example.

You are sounding like Ham, putting individual stats above team stats.

I don’t really get overall concerned with stats as any end all be all. Team sport. To me it means the whole organization coming together as one.

Tons of additional added risk in those O being so predictable and basic. Yes….like I said last season….what need was there to handcuff our O? Just unleash our players in anything close to an average NFL O scheme and coaching….who’s keeping up with us?

What is the record for playoff points by one team in a single playoff season?

Especially noting We have a strong D

First half of Dallas game was all defense 🙄

How many teams can keep up what we’re capable of scoring…against our D mind you?

Idk...our D doesn't seem that great this year really. Dallas did whatever they wanted to ..drops at the end. KC...missing players and a clueless play caller... the Rams drove the ball all game, had two FGs blocked or they would have had over 30.

Im not seeing such a great D at all.

Explain where that additional added risk will be coming from? How will that added additional risk show up on the scoreboard?

How will an "unleashed” Offense produce more wins?

You appear to be looking at football as a beauty contest. Blinders again. Narrow thinking again. Again and again.

I believe Ham looks at football from a college ball type of perspective. Where opinions actually matter because that's how teams get placed in position to play for a national championship. Like perception matters. I don't think he understands the concept of winning on the field.

It's why he loves his 49ers...now Green Bay and Baltimore...because of style points that thr media likes.... his perception is that it actually matters. When it doesn't.

It’s BS clickbait…but a reflexition of how good teams are during the course of a season week to week. Really was just remembering how the very large majority,including you, believed we were the best and everything was fantastic….because hey…we only had one loss and were scoring points. Exact argument you just tried to make currently with your big picture view(you referred to it as). Because you ignoring the issues because Hurts keeps converting long down and distance difficult situations and putting points on the board. It’s great he been accomplishing that to get us the victories…..but not a sustainable champion approach.

It's a. College football thing.. where opinions of the media causes rankings to set up who gets the chance to play. You worry too much about other people's perceptions. Clearly our own team doesn't care....but for you it bothers you. Why?

Your imagination is running away with you. Either that or you really weren't listening to what was being said during the first 12 weeks about what was to come, and how tenuous the evidence from the first 12 weeks was. Either that or your circle of analysis opinions is incredibly small.

So an O proven should be producing 50 points per game you are putting on a pedestal because UNDER Siri they produced 30 instead. Overlooking the details…30 sounds great. That was players overcoming…not thriving.

Narrow thinking. You only have 33% of your brain working.

Your "Bronze Standard”

Just curious. You could have 14 years of Andy Reid's accomplishments.. or 14 years of Siri level accomplishments.

Are you saying you prefer Reid's?

What does " beliefs " have to do with anything....especially other people's beliefs? People from around the country with an agenda... you really care?

Just curious...what are the power rankings now? Tell me what they are showing

The record for points in a season is 606 points. Denver in 2013. 38.75 per game... yet we should score 50? Lol.

How many did Andy Reid score while he was here? How about during the playoffs? Thankfully we had Jim Johnson

Because JJ played the slot in college. So that means every football player in the world should be judged by where they play at 19 years old.

It's not like you can be a 28 year old and become an all pro LB when your team finally puts you there

I’m the first to own I wasn’t convinced JJ could also play outside. But I’m still sticking with he was the second best WR on his college team.

It cracks me up the way Ham shows anger towards Siri...yet slurps up Andy Reid and his accomplishments here.

Puffing out your chest about how he does in KC with Mahomes and Spags... just doesn't make sense. You would think one would be angry about how he didn't learn done of the simple clock management and other things while he was here. We got F@#$ed out of the situation with all that 14 years of learning...his mulligan. Yet we get a guy coming right in here after a disaster of a 2020 season and the dude just wins. And nothing but complaining.
