Rich Eisen Revels His Brand-New NFL Power Rankings Heading into Week 16 | The Rich Eisen Show

[@JockinJsee]

Chris is the Broncos unsung hero! 🫡

[@michaelgartner4454]

Chris thanks for sticking up for the Broncos, buddy.

[@kyonizuka]

broncos are having a good season but lets not get it twisted they absolutely should have lost last week. a bonehead goal line fumble that seals the win for the colts and in general did not look good vs a very mediocre colts team. 4 straight wins against the falcons, raiders, browns and colts isnt screaming top 10 team to me. you can only beat the teams in front of you but Rams and Bucs have been far more impressive

[@Watssssswelll]

@kyonizuka But they didn’t lose. They executed and won. Did they benefit from boneheaded moves by Indy? Absolutely, but get this, good teams do that all the time. It’s such a dumb reductive argument

[@BackJack450]

​@@Watssssswelll​would you apply that to Kansas City as well or are you part of the it's all luck crowd? Cause hero Brockman doesn't think good teams capitalize when it comes to them..

[@Manchu504]

​@@BackJack450 Even if you think KC is lucky you wouldn't keep them out of the top 10 though. A win is a win.

[@Manchu504]

​@@kyonizuka Sure it was earlier in the season, but the Broncos dominated a healthy Bucs team in Tampa Bay and despite their struggles vs Indy, the broncos offense did manage to score more TDs than the Rams. Let's be fair now

[@airfleet7916]

I agree with Chris. The Broncos should be at least 10th.

The Broncos _destroyed_ the Bucs. They didn't have Mike Evans, but still. QBs that aren't careful with the ball get wrecked by Denver's defense right now, they're the most opportunistic defense in football. Edit: They actually did have Evans, which makes this even more stupid

[@timothyfitzgerald3168]

They did have Mike Evans in that game. The Bucs were missing two of their best defenders and their right tackle in that game, but Mike was playing. They did destroy the Bucs. But that also was like 3 months ago. Things change so much over the course of the season. The Bucs beat the crap out of the Eagles the next week after the Broncos game.

Thank you Rich. After seeing Colin Cowherd put that travesty of a Herd Hierarchy yesterday I needed some sanity returned to my life. How he decided the Vikings were #8 and the Packers were ahead of the Lions, when the Lions beat the Packers with a worse defense then they had against Buffalo blew my mind. As a respectable Lions fan, I agree with them being down to #3 or #4, kind of a tossup with KC. I got faith they can hold on and get that first round bye.

[@blakeandotherstuff]

Brockman saying the Broncos are better than the Bucs cuz they beat them in week 3 is HILARIOUS considering he doesn't think the Ravens are better than the Bills when the Ravens SMOKED Josh Allen on national television by 25 the week after the Broncos played the Bucs.

[@Hanan2k]

The key is that the Broncos beat the Bucks when they were good (I believe they were undefeated coming off a win in Detroit) and beat them when they had Chris Godwin and Mike Evans both healthy. I can see an argument for them being close, but the Broncos are certainly better than the Rams.

[@alexsmith5621]

It sounds like it's the team that was beat that decides the ranking so I don't understand how Eagles beating The Steelers puts them at #1 and the Bills at #2 when the Bills just beat the best team in the NFL right now

@ and yet, they’re underdogs against the chargers tomorrow and bo nix was TERRIBLE at home against an awful Indy defense, turning it over every chance he got 🤷‍♂️ call me crazy, but baker is a lot more reliable right now

[@Afraidofbutts]

@@mctalley31 I can agree w you on baker being better than nix right now, so far Denver defense has been able to overcome nix’s worst performances. I respect it though

[@mctalley31]

@ I think Denver is a “happy to be there” team this year, but I give them a shot if they play Pittsburgh or Houston. If nix can improve even a little bit next year, I think the afc west will be really interesting, and I don’t think the chiefs will automatically win it. There’ll be three really tough teams and the raiders just hangin out.

[@mikecarr2085]

Sucks that the lions have all these injuries. If they were healthy like literally any other team they’d be scary to play. A lot of lesser teams fan bases will gloat to be them while they’re down 15+ guys and so many key pieces. It’s unfortunate.

[@BackJack450]

I absolutely don't want the Lions this hurt and would love for them to take the entire NFC...but speaking of fanbases, it's almost like it's karma for the Lions fans crowning themselves champs halfway through the season. After decades of pain, I get it. They deserve to celebrate. But this just shows you gotta finish out just as strong as you start. And they still might but, people are gonna take a victory lap on a team that was touted as the best. Signed, a Chiefs fan who watches the entire league celebrate every hit of misfortune our team suffers through

4 egregious penalties favoring the Eagles, 3 players throwing punches that should have been ejected, TJ Watt held several times, AJ pushing off all game... etc. Refs handed them the game instead of making them earn it.

@ you do realize that we’re talking about a power rankings and where they should be at this time. Right? I know power rankings might be new to you. But they’re based on the current week of play and not on the what ifs. In the simplest of terms so that you might “get it” not trusting the Lions based on the injuries is a thought and assumption. Power rankings are based on current play, not past or future. 12-2 is pretty good with injuries.

[@JoePackJoeNC]

@IntrovertWriter right now the lions have a defense if you fan keep Goff off the field they lose...the bills were at no point in any place to lose that game..they were too explosive..scored too fast..and Lions offense matched..just not enough..Lions play eagles right now..saquon would dominate..vikings...Jones runs and checkdowns...it's not difficult
