Power Rankings: Week 4

After what was another bizarre week in the NFL, I'm left sitting here, thinking if it is even worth writing the power rankings, as they will inevitably be different when the NFL turns upside down again next week. But anyway, I'll try and make sense of what teams are actually good and not good...

Power Rankings

1. IKNAN, 2-1 (1): For the third week in a row, this team put up 100+ points with a player putting up a big fat zero. This team has been white hot to start the season, and it's still not at full strength. The team is not completely bullet proof, but until we see a bad week out of this team it deserves to be at number 1 in the power rankings.

2. The Romosexuals, 2-1 (2): Despite losing their starting QB, the re-emergence of Larry Fitzgerald has been a blessing and this team is still humming. Another 100+ point performance and another W. They have a tremendous team, and I think you could make a case for them having a better starting lineup than IKNAN.

3. ADRZ, 3-0 (5): Ok, so who had ADRZ as the only undefeated team entering Week 4? Anyone? I said in the offseason that Coach Wells is not a coach to write off, and for once I was correct. While there were some performances on his team that will not be repeated again, he does have a formidable roster. With a relatively soft division, barring something unforeseen this team seems destined for the playoffs.

4. Bear Necessities, 0-3 (6): Ok, so who had Bear Necessities as the only team without a win entering Week 4? Anyone? Me neither. This team has had a very good start to the season, they've posted over 100 points in every single game. But much like Forge Flyers 2014 season, they've been immensely unfortunate in their early season schedule, and have just been outscored on the day. This team HAS to bounce back, but its fair to wonder if 3 losses will be too much to overcome.

5. The Dream Team, 2-1 (9): Despite essentially losing a starting RB (Williams) they didn't miss a beat last week. They look a good bet to put up around 100 points every week, and whenever you can do that you're in good shape. The Dream Team need to take advantage of the rest of the division being in flux while it lasts.

6. Patistan, 1-2 (4): In very Gridiron Gang-esque fashion, this teams fall from grace in just one week is ridiculous. Let's pause for a minute and note that Roethlisberger got injured, so it looks worse than it was, but outside of a few players on this team they are looking quite thin. I like this team to bounce back, but they're probably going to have to work a bit harder to get wins now.

7. Jeff's Seals, 1-2 (8): The return of Bell will certainly help this team, but he can't do it all. Him and Rodgers are a fantastic combination, but outside of this there are no studs on the team. There are a few other guys who you can count on for some points every week, but no game changers.

8. Burdettinators, 2-1 (3): I'm honestly not sure what's happening to this team. They were without Murray this week, but the replacement performed just as well as he would have. There in a precarious situation - on paper, they look great, but on the field they just look out of sync. When they get it going I have no doubt they'll be a formidable bunch, but until further notice they are only a middle of the pack team.

9. The Tuckfards, 1-2 (10): Credit where credits due, this was one heck of a week. 4 players over 20, one of which over 30. I'll admit, this team is looking stronger than it did the first 2 weeks, but I wouldn't get carried away with this teams prospects. With the holy trinity intact, this Coach is in prime position to reprise his game plan from the last few seasons.

10. Tom's Tyrants, 1-2 (7): These guys are in the same boat as Burdettinators. They've got a tasty lineup, but it's just not happening at the moment. Two 0 point efforts from players who usually get a decent amount of points nailed the coffin in the team this week, but going forward they will definitely improve. But until I see it happen I'm hesitant to endorse this team.

11. Gridiron Gang, 2-1 (11): The Tom's Tyrants twin team (alliteration ftw) got the win last week, but really this game was just a toss up. The GMs plan for this team was clear - Tom Brady carries the team to victories, and everyone else just pitches in. To be fair, it's working. Like Tom's Tyrants and Burdettinators, once they get it together they'll be a good team.

12. Forge Flyers, 1-2 (12): It sort of came out of nowhere, but this team earned the win this week. A mammoth effort from Freeman and Blount gave them the W. Coach Leach will be the first to tell you that it's not happening every week. Week 3 was a step in the right direction, but they still have a few more steps to go before we're talking about them as a contender.
