HawkerHurricane's NFL power ratings!

[HawkerHurricane]

Welcome once more to HawkerHurricane’s NFL power rating. However, I have a new system I am experimenting with in a effort to solve problems. So, first the old system: one point per win plus one point per win your opponents had…

Rank Team points record

32 Raiders 8 2-7

31 Bears 10 3-6

30 Jaguars 11 2-7

29 Chargers 11 2-7

28 Lions 11 3-6

27 Browns 12 3-6

26 Jets 12 3-6

25 Falcons 13 2-7

24 Steelers 15 3-6

23 Cardinals 15 3-6

22 Saints 16 4-5

21 Texans 17 3-6

20 Broncos 19 5-4

19 49rs 20 4-5

18 Ravens 20 5-4

17 Dolphins 20 5-4

16 Bills 21 4-5

15 Bengals 21 4-5

14 Redskins 22 4-5

13 Packers 22 4-5

12 Buccaneers 23 4-5

11 Giants 23 4-5

10 Eagles 27 6-3

9 Vikings 27 6-3

8 Rams 27 6-3

7 Colts 28 7-2

6 Seahawks 33 6-3

5 Panthers 33 7-2

4 Titans 33 7-2

3 Cowboys 34 7-2

2 Patriots 40 7-2

1 Chiefs 40 9-0

Now, the new system gives TWO points for every win...

Well, what do you think:

[NewYorkerfromMass]

1. If you had problems needing solutions

then empirical method says you must try something new. Either way I like the Patriots' high ranking. :)

2. Keep the old system

It was the best way to determine who was the best team in the league because it also looked at the quality opponents they beat.

[Faygo Kid]

3. We're 28th! We're 28th!

Either way, the Lions suck. But, we are used to it. A Super Bowl in my lifetime? No. My daughter's? No. Before the end of this Millenium? Go Lions!

[VermontDem2004]

4. I think so

The Lions are a very young team and they are building the foundation of their team, they have young recievers and a young QB who could be great in the future, they will possibly get a high draft pick and some real good running backs will be in the draft next year. They also have a young defense as well, the Lions are in good position to be great in 3 or 4 years.

[Faygo Kid]

5. I remember that claim from 1970

After 47 years with one playoff win, you get kinda jaded, to say the least. They are the Lions: Will they kill Mariucci's coaching career, as they have done to all their other head coaches (Forzano, Hudspeth, Clark, Fontes, Morningweg, et. al.). I say yes. They ARE the Lions!

6. Which is why KC didn't trade Okoye to Detroit

They didn't want to be accused of throwing Christian to the Lions!

Bwahahahaha!!!
