★NFL★ S3: Week 5 Power Rankings
As we go into Week 5, I will now list the teams that have the highest power going into this week and the teams who are falling down.
POWER RANKINGS
1. Green Bay Packers (4-0) [Last Week Power Ranking (1)] Change: (-)
The last undefeated team in the league is the Packers and they had quite a scare on Saturday against the Chicago Bears who were looking to pull an upset. But due to a bonehead play by one of the Bears they ended up getting the ball back and scoring a late TD to win the game. The Packers have to continue to remind themselves that there will be teams coming to end their streak, and they must play like it’s a playoff game every single Saturday. Packers should still look to keep their perfect record as they take on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 5.
2. Miami Dolphins (3-1) [Last Week Power Ranking (3)] Change: (+1 ↑)
Dolphins are on a tear to simply put it. All the trades and moves under xiMURKx have been great. This team is now on a 3 game winning streak after they blew out the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday. And things should look good for them as they take on the Denver Broncos in Week 5. A game that will surely look to be in their favor. This team has got to remind themselves that they have to play hard throughout the 40 minutes of play. And can’t start throwing away the game once they get a comfortable lead.
3. San Francisco 49ers (3-1) [Last Week Power Ranking (4)] Change: (+1 ↑)
This was a tough one to pick. 49ers and Redskins both deserve the 3rd spot for this week’s power rankings. Because they both made teams forfeit on Saturday. But also ironically they will face two of the toughest teams in Week 5. But I think the Ravens are a tougher team the Broncos, and the offense of the 49ers looked smoother so I’ll give it to them. The 49ers have tough match-up in Week 5 against the New England Patriots. A team that has finally revitalized themselves after a dominating performance against the Raiders. We will finally see who the real 49ers are. They will need to have everyone present during this game and if they want to win, they will have to score FAST! And limit the turnovers on offense. If they can get a double digit lead by halftime they might win this game. But then again you can never underestimate the Pats because they can put up points fast.
4. Oakland Raiders (3-1) [Last Week Power Ranking (2)] Change: (-2 ↓)
Raiders had a tough loss on Saturday. But they lost to a great team even though their record doesn’t reflect who they truly are. Raiders need to show the league their true power as they take on the Redskins in Week 5. They cannot mess around and it will have to be about business in this game. They will have to face off against a tough defensive lead by DE HokageMinato, so Franky better watch out. Also this team is going through some more team turmoil as many players are asking for releases and trades. This isn’t a good look at all. People were already hesitant about joining the Raiders now it’s looking worse. However I’m still going to rate this team at 4 because of the fact we’ve seen how dominant this offense can be when clicking.
5. Washington Redskins (3-1) [Last Week Power Ranking (5)] Change: (-)
This team dominated on Saturday against a weak Broncos team that just inducted a new Head Coach. While the win made the Broncos tap out, it’s not like the Broncos were going to be a challenge. Every prediction favored the Redskins to win, but win in forfeit and that did come true. But the Redskins must get their QB situation figured out before Week 5. DakotaKong needs to be there for this team, and cannot continue to be afk during GAME DAYS and not show up. They will need him back this week as they face the Oakland Raiders, a team that is ready to put their last loss behind them and get a win. But if this Redskins defense plays very well with Hokage getting sacks, Shortstop, Cy twins, and MacBin, I can see this game turning out to be one of those slow, low scoring, defensive battles. If the Redskins want to make it in the top 3 for Power Rankings next week they must beat the Raiders.
6. New England Patriots (2-2) [Last Week Power Ranking (6)] Change: (-)
The Patriots have now come back on course after a terrible start this season. A dominating performance against an undefeated Raiders squad was impressive. But….other teams played well during Week 4 so they’re still stuck in the same rank as they were last week. But things can change. If they take down a 49ers team who is balling right now they can move a few spots up in the power ranking. This team surprisingly didn’t rely heavily on iiYORKii as we all would’ve though seeing as how they whooped the Raiders. But now they’ve got to win this game and set a statement to the league the Pats are back!
7. Chicago Bears (1-3) [Last Week Power Ranking (8)] Change: (+1 ↑)
This season is starting to look like a wash for the Bears. Another crucial loss to this team when they could’ve beaten the 4-0 Packers. Had they just x’ed the ball back they would’ve received it with 2 mins to go in the 4th quarter and about 30-40 yards away from going up in the game. Well just like their season so far, things came crashing down as they fumbled instead of x’ing it. The reason they moved up in the power rankings is that they actually were going at it with the best team in the league and didn’t let up. This team isn’t done yet I might add. As their NFC foes the 49ers and Redskins will be facing some of the leagues toughest teams in Week 5 the Raiders and Patriots the chance of loss for them will be pretty high. This means the Bears must win on Saturday against the 0-4 Seattle Seahawks. A Seahawks team that just lost their HC SteamPunkGod, and is winless in Season 3. If this Chicago Bears team loses on Saturday not only are their playoff hopes done, but they will be a disgrace in the league losing to a terrible Seahawks team.
8. Baltimore Ravens (1-3) [Last Week Power Ranking (7)] Change: (-1 ↓)
This team has fallen back to down to Earth again with their loss against the 49ers. Many predictors picked the Ravens to upset the 49ers…BUT NOPE! Didn’t happen, they forfeited. This was a must-win game for the Ravens as the Patriots when on to win their game. The AFC might start to close up depending on how to the Top 3 AFC teams play in Week 5. Meaepitus needs to make some MUST-DO trades immediately, because this team’s season will be on the line as they face the 4-0 PERFECT PACKERS. A loss here will most likely diminish their chances at a spot in the playoffs. So like all the stock market people say “SELL! SELL! SELL!”
9. Seattle Seahawks (0-4) [Last Week Power Ranking (9)] Change: (-)
There aren’t any words to describe this team fully. Not only are they cheese but they are Supreme Mega Booty Cheese. I mean no one expected them to beat the Dolphins in Week 4 but damn! This team had none of their star players show up. Not even their head coach showed up. Actually no wait...he was there for like the first quarter then decided to leave after they started getting blown out. And other news in the Seahawks locker room is that the head coach SteamPunkGod has quit. The Seahawks will now look for a new head coach. And this goes to show, you need to have experience on your team or else you will fail. If you don’t draft well, you won’t excel. Well atleast they will go against a struggling Chicago Bears squad in Week 5 but even that team isn’t as bad as this Seahawks team. And I will say it again every week until they change but, THE SEAHAWKS ARE STILL WINLESS IN SEASON 3! 0-3 in the PRESEASON, 0-4 in the REGULAR SEASON! Whoever picks up this team as the new HC must know that this team isn’t going nowhere this season. Their playoff hopes are done.
10. Denver Broncos (0-4) [Last Week Power Ranking (10)] Change: (-)
The Denver Broncos how they have fallen from grace. A team that had high ambitions with former, former, former, former, former, former, head coach Faxu. Damn remember that name? Still not one appearance in Season 3 by him, but anyways since he was fired as HC, this team has gone through the most coaching changes I think ever. Lemme list them out for you. Faxu, PumkinAssassin, Trenton, Doogiosess, Spain, Peddington, and now Matthew. And the signs point that Matthew will not last head coach because of how frustrating each loss will be. And also this team has forfeited for the 3rd straight week in a row. This team’s season is definitely over, and to even add more salt to their wound they will face a dominant Miami Dolphins team in Week 5. R.I.P Broncos I think this team will be the first to go 0-10 in the regular season. Just due to too many head coaching changes and inactivity will start pile up soon.
Biggest Jump: Miami Dolphins/San Francisco 49ers (+1 ↑)
Biggest Fall: Oakland Raiders (-2 ↓)
