Packers at No. 7 in SB Nation NFL Power Rankings

PrintApparently it wasn't that bad of a loss if the Green Bay Packers only slipped down to No. 7, while the Bears moved up to No. 5. From the NFL Power Rankings:
The Packers didn't play their game on Monday night against the Bears. They're still an elite team in the NFL and will be hanging around the top 10 all year.
The thing I found puzzling this week was that despite the Falcons beating the Saints, in New Orleans, the Saints are still at No. 3 while the Falcons are down at No. 10. I'd reverse those rankings based on what I've seen so far. The Saints haven't looked very impressive this season. They've only outscored their opponents by 5 points overall, and a last second victory against the 49ers is not looking like an impressive feat.

Yeah
I think most people are giving them the benefit of the doubt cause they won it all last year but they aren’t looking anything like the team that won it all last year. They definitely deserve to be down a couple notches.
More like the team that went 8-8 the year before last.

Other Rankings
The rankings at ESPN.com and SI.com still have the Packers rated ahead of the Bears.
SI has the Pack at #5 and the Bears at #7 while ESPN has the Pack at #4 and the Bears at #6.
As for the Falcons and Saints, SI has the Falcons above the Saints, while ESPN still has the Saints higher.
My own thoughts on ranking the Pack? I’d have the Pack at #6 with the Bears, as much as I hate to type this… at #5.
Mike Silver?
He’s an interesting guy; definitely includes player perspective in his columns, and I’m glad there’s no comment section because people, for whatever reason HATE his work.
Yahoo! is full of trolls. I use it for e-mail, sports STATS, and little else.
Maybe Koa Misi and Jared Odrick would be Patriots if Bill Parcells wasn't Comedic.Sans's father...

Not me.

It was only one game, in Chicago, in a rivalry in which you can throw records out the window.
Doesn’t really mean much.
Now, if the Bares come into Lambeau and take the season finale in January and win the division, then would I prob’ly concede that they are better (this season). :)

That and a quarter will get you a cup of coffee...
One person’s power rankings after week 3 in the NFL carry about as much weight as anybody else’s preseason NCAA rankings. WAY too early and too small of a sample size for it to be meaningful, folks. Just another made-up statistic by media types who supposedly know more than anybody else (they don’t…)
Here’s proof—-at this early stage, the NFC Central appears to be the best division in the NFL. Anybody really believe this?
That is awesome
where do you get your coffee?!

I'd get it at Starbucks if it wasn't $5 a cup...
I’m well off my frozen coffee vice now; It’s diet soda and orange juice for me.

Meant to say NFC North, not NFC Central (sorry, dating myself there...)
at least I didn’t call our division the Norris Division!
I would have thought you were Chris Berman if you said that!

Not as much as with your 25-cent cup of coffee! :)

You wake up...
realize how wonderful your dream was, pull yourself out of bed, and go out into the world facing the harsh reality that you are a Detroit Lions fan.

Could be worse...
Could be a Michigan Wolverines fan…

Or
Dev goes into rehab, and gets off them danged drugs.
BUTT (it’s a big but), he then see the Cowardly Lions for what they really are, and has a relapse. LMAO.

I like Suh and I love what this Lions team is building for but...

Lose to Detroit?
Well, I suppose he knows it’s coming. I mean, after the way Suh pretty much single-handedly has got the Lions to a 3-0 record, who wouldn’t?
Oh, wait…

What a troll
Dude, run your smack all you want, around here MOST of us just enjoy talking football. We respect opposing players and teams. But to make a statement like that, WOW!
At some point today,
I’m going to head over to POD to see what they think of you over there.
Thanks for providing some humor after the loss against the Bears!

I agree about the Saints...
Haven’t been impressed with them at all… saw the monday night game against SF. Saw them get gashed by Atlanta running game as well.
I still think we have the most potential of any NFC team.
The NFC is just wide open this year.
I watched the overtime period against Atlanta.
They simply could not stop the run. I don’t think Atlanta threw the ball once on their game-winning drive.

Surprising, isn't it?
Matt Ryan’s a very good QB, but there’s no reason to risk an OT interception if you know the other team can’t stop the run.

Too early to count out the Vikings
They’ve played a much more difficult schedule than we have. And just because Favre is proving that everyone needs training camp doesn’t mean he won’t work out the rust.

They have this week off, to rest and lick their wounds.
Then, they embark on a marathon 13 weeks without a break.
Hard to like their chances.
Can you say, “Third Place?”

And, while that 13-week stretch
may not bother some of the younger players as much,
it’s going to be murder on the old man.
