Re: Power Rankings
From NFL.com:
Rank 19
Seattle Seahawks
2-0
"A sign of good coaching is the ability to adjust, and the Seahawks' staff has shown that skill in spades thus far. Seattle switched up a stagnant game plan at halftime of Week 1, and there were even more adjustments in Week 2's dramatic victory. The deep shot to DK Metcalf was a welcome development, even if it came on a busted coverage. What's kept the Seahawks mostly on schedule has been the steady, cool play of Geno Smith, who has come up big two weeks in a row. The 'Hawks aren't even running Ryan Grubb's complete offense yet, at least not the prolific version he used in Washington over the past few years. I consider it a good sign that Grubb and Mike Macdonald do not appear to be forcing an identity on this team; better to let it develop and grow at the proper pace. Right now, the Seahawks are chipping away at opponents and working with what they have. Next, Seattle catches the Dolphins at an opportune time in Week 3. The Macdonald era is off to a nice start."

Re: Power Rankings
Sure, but they didn't look as good the first two weeks as we did. New England was eventually gonna get exposed. Cincy is just a dogshit franchise and we had a bad third quarter on the road three time zones away!Sibelius Hindemith wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2024 4:18 pmThe Jets sure looked a hell of a lot better than us vs the Boston Turncoats.

Re: Power Rankings
NFL.com:
Rank - 11th
Seattle Seahawks
3-0
"It’s hard not to see the potential of Mike Macdonald’s defense after it disrupted the Dolphins all day in Week 3, but it comes with the caveat of whom Miami had at quarterback. That carries on with the theme through the first three games: The results have been impressive, but the competition level is about to spike. There’s also a rash of injuries up front, with DLs Byron Murphy II and Leonard Williams both getting hurt on Sunday and Uchenna Nwosu still out. The offense would love to get RB Kenneth Walker III back soon, but Seattle's not in great shape on the offensive line. There were too many missed assignments and penalties up front, and both of Geno Smith’s interceptions came amid pressure. A rookie coach starting his career at 3-0 is nirvana, but the Seahawks are about to be tested heavily."

Re: Power Rankings
The Lions are way favored on MNF and will be a huge test, but the oddsmakers are certainly taking notice.
Before the season started, the odds I got were:
Super Bowl +6000
NFC Champs +3000
NFC Division Champs +700
Make the Playoffs +180
Now, at 3-0, the odds are:
SB +4000
NFC Champs +1400
NFC Division Champs +185
Make the Playoffs -140
That'll probably change if the Lions cream us next Monday, and we have caught some struggling teams early, but for a young team with a whole new coaching staff, this is a dream start.

Re: Power Rankings
Is anyone buying this improved Power Ranking and great reviews for this team? I'm not...
Beat a crappy Bronco team, a very crappy NE team, and a Miami team without Tua. I'm not getting excited until I actually see an OL that can block anybody. If they even stay within 20 of Detroit, then maybe we can talk.

Re: Power Rankings
They are playing about as I expected them to, they easily could be 1-2 but they are 3-0. Maybe geno is better than expected.
