Week 1 Power Rankings

[Tron]

Power rankings are nothing without boob shots


for future reference of course..this weeks was great !!!

You make a great point. Hell I could just show boob pics for each ranking and you all would love it. Would get 10000000 likes lol.

*Note to self, use boob pics and turtle pics in future rankings!

I agree with your #1 team. They certainly are primed to look better than than anyone else during the regular season. Beyond that? Finesse team. Soft up front, determined to sling it and unable to manage the better defensive fronts that will be there come playoff time. No Souper Bowl for you!

This brings me to a question, would you say the 2011 Giants, 2012 Ravens, 2014 Patriots, & 2015 Broncos were "non-finesse" teams?

Is this open to the public or do you have to be a member to read it?

It was set to members only, but I just changed it to include "guests".

Thanks for pointing this out.

I would say the Pats have been more of a finesse team for awhile now as opposed to their earlier Brady/Belichick days.
2011 Giants? Weird team. They got hot at the right time. Hard to say but i wouldn't call a Coughlin coached team a finesse team.
2012 Ravens? I have no opinion on that.
2015 Broncos were not a finesse team.

Would you describe your Cardinals last year as a finesse team? Next to say...other playoff teams like Seattle, Minnesota, Carolina for example.

Yea, I would.

I don't think it really matters what style of brand the offense runs in the playoffs. Whether it's "finesse" or "bully-ball". I would put more emphasis on hard-nosed defense with an even bigger emphasis on pass-rush.

Agree with defense and elite pass rush. That old saying, Any given Sunday and all....so there isn't any full proof 100% guarantees of anything.
I do disagree about style and philosophy hurting and helping some teams in the playoffs though. Many like to claim that it's cliche to disregard that stuff but i don't.
All things being equal at QB and defensively...I'd much rather have a team that has a smashmouth OLine, elite TE and a stud RB then a bevy of great WR's and an OLine that is "just good enough to get by."

This type of debate sort of has to come first with how one defines a finesse team and how one defines bully-ball. Ha, i like that term!

You can, many others have. Maybe you got hot pepper residue in your eyes?
