2024 NFL Season Thread

Attempted a week one power rankings. Some 0-1 teams ranked above 1-0 teams. Went back and forth on spots 13-20 a lot.

1. Chiefs - will be #1 until they lose.
2. Lions - I really, really liked watching them Sunday night. They might be my superbowl pick. They have Tampa on Sunday which will be a fun game.
3. 49ers - beat up on a good Jets team without CMC. 
4. Eagles - Could be also be #2. Saquan looked really good.
5. Bills - Josh Allen MVP pick after week one. The Thursday night game against Miami will be good.
6. Texans - I didn't see a lot of this game. But they're a good team and they won.
7. Cowboys - Beat up the Browns. 
8. Buccaneers - We'll see if they keep it up. Imagine if they beat Detroit this Sunday?
9. Dolphins - A big challenge on Thursday awaits them
10. Seahawks - I didnt see or hear much about this game, either. 
11. Ravens - First 0-1 team but nearly beat KC in KC. Could arguably put them higher. They should beat up the Raiders this Sunday.
12. Saints - scored a million points against Carolina. Good work. Have fun with Dallas Sunday.
13. Jets - I think they'll figure things out. Rodger's first game in a while against SF in SF. Not very fun.
14. Rams - Went to overtime with Detroit. Think Detroit benefitted from getting the ball first and beating up on their tired defense.
15. Packers - Went toe to toe with Philly. Problem is now they're without Love for several games. 
16. Bears - Will need more from Caleb
17. Chargers - Could be higher. Will be 2-0 after Sunday (against Panthers)
18. Steelers - Going to be 2-0 after Sunday with both wins on the road. More Justin Fields on Sunday
19. Vikings - They beat the shitty Giants. Congrats. Now you get San Fran
20. Patriots - Good defense and coaching. 
21. Cardinals - Almost stole one from Buffalo. Respectable.
22. Colts - Almost stole one from Texans. Also respectable.
23. Jaguars - Idk what to do with Jacksonville. They didn't score in the second half. They get Cleveland Sunday. Now they have to win that or they could be looking at 0-4 (following games against Buffalo and Texans, both on the road)
24. Browns - They probably will look better without Watson
25. Bengals - Good news. You can redeem yourselves back into the top ten by beating KC on Sunday. Bad news, you're probably losing to KC on Sunday.
26. Titans - You scored 17 points. You still lost to the Bears who didn't have an offensive touchdown.
27. Falcons - Cousins looked like poop. Now you play Philly, KC, Saints, Buccaneers. That could easily be 0-5. 
28. Broncos - Bo Nix's stats were gross. They had two safeties in their game?
29. Raiders - Who cares. Idk who the QB even is still. The Chiefs get to feast on them and Denver four times this season. 
30. Commanders - They get the Giants this Sunday in the poop bowl. Then Cincinnati the following Sunday where I might bet on them to win. 
31. Giants - Those jerseys were hideous. And how much money is Daniel Jones making??
32. Panthers - Imagine you're a Panthers fan. What do you even do? Do Panthers fan exist?

Games within the division are tough. 

I’d have Texans, Ravens, Steelers a couple spots higher and Seahawks, Jets and Bears a couple lower.

Dolphins looking like they don’t want to stay at #9 on my power rankings

They stunk that whole game then rallied ..,,,not sure Jags are going to beat the Browns now. Buffalo playing with all the motivation

Ugh…looks like Tua just knocked himself out lowering his head down into Demar Hamlin of all players

Hate to say it but he might have to rethink some things after that. People didn’t want him to play again after that Bengals game a couple years ago.

I wish he’d walk away to preserve his next hopefully 50+ years. I’ve never liked the dolphins but Tua seems like a great dude and I don’t want to see any CTE fatalities at age 44

Fuck. Another concussion.

If he can’t play again - and he probably shouldn’t - their season may be over. 

Browns have been dealing with this with Denzel Ward. He's on his 5th or 6th concussion, I believe.

Saints up 25 on the Cowboys, just like we all predicted.

Ok….they are really good until proven otherwise

Cowboys lose, 49ers lose to Vikings, Ravens lose to Raiders. Chiefs lose to Bengals???!!!! Probably not. 

Rats 0-2, life is good.

I was sweating BUF in my must-win pool last week.  Dodged a few bullets today I had considered, but have to wait and see with HOU.

Early weeks in the NFL aren’t predictable. Bengals winning wouldn’t surprise me.

The bengals are going to go 0-17 😞

No they won't but I will say that Chase unsportsmanlike gave me flashbacks of the Burfict/no discipline days.

Giants became first team in NFL history to score 3+ TD and not allow a TD….and lose lol

Did anyone else not know that Michele Tafoya - who use to do the sideline reporting for Sunday Night Football - retired and went full conservative politard? Like she’s either posted or reposted 19 times today alone, all right leaning political junk. That’s what she does now apparently.
