    [TD="class: powerrankingcontent"]Adding Ndamukong Suh to the defense will pay off in a big way. And I think Ryan Tannehill will continue to grow. They are second best in the AFC East.

    The way this power rankings list is we could be as high as number 12 in my opinion. Thoughts?

    I think 13 is more accurate.

    The reason why I said 12 is I believe we are a better team than Carolina.

    Both teams have the same record at this point in the season, so you really could go either way.

    I have more beef with this ranking than most others.

    I certainly have the Bills WAY higher than #22.
    Also would put KC higher too.
    And the Bears at #15? Did I miss something they did in the offseason?
    Given Dalton's playoff woes, I'd put Bengals lower.
    Also would put Vikings below Dolphins.
    etc..

    I'm sure others can add to this, but some of the ranks just seem WAY off.

    Cincinnati, Carolina, and Minnesota are ranked ahead of Miami? How? lol...



    Ravens at 5 was a surprise too. Their offense is extremely limited in the passing game as far as I can tell.

    - Lost Torrey Smith, their deep threat who averaged over 15 yards per catch and 11 TD's
    - Lost OC Gary Kubiac
    - Steve Smith is 36. Father time catches up to everyone...
    - Perriman is as raw as raw can be
    - Don't have good depth at WR
    - Dennis Pitta can't stay healthy
    - Maxx Williams is a rookie. TE's don't usually have big rookie years.


    And Baltimore has the 11th hardest schedule, going into the season, play in a tough division defensively. I would be surprised if Baltimore wins more than 8 games.

    Why the hell would we be above Cincinnati? They make the playoffs every year. As for Minnesota they get AP back, it's Bridgewater's 2nd year with Norv, and they really knocked the draft out the park with Trae Waynes , Eric Kendricks, Stefon Diggs etc....they have a boatload of talent on both sides of the ball and a much better coaching staff than we do.

    Because we have a better QB, and potentially offense in general if Parker and Stills (who already has) play like legit outside threats with you know who in the slot. Then you look at the defense, we have a better dline and possibly secondary as well. And don't even get me started on Marvin Lewis, talk about the definition of mediocrity lol.

    I'll give you AP, but rookies can only contribute so much in their first year. I like Bridgewater and think the Vikings are trending up, but the Dolphins are the better team as of right now, on paper at least, IMO.

    I would think so, but looking at the rest of the list, I wouldn't put much stock in Pete Prisco's ability to accurately rank NFL teams.

    Dallas at 4? Minnesota(13) and Chicago(15) BOTH higher than Detroit(17)?

    I would definitely put the Dolphins above Minnesota and Carolina. Probably even the Eagles. He puts them at 11 based on Sam Bradford alone.
