Juggs' 2014 Power Rankings/Division Ranks Thread (5/28/14)

[Juggs]

I like the idea of cityofchamps' thread, so I decided to make my own.

Power Rankings:
1. Seattle Seahawks - I always feel that barring offseason disaster (like what happened to the Ravens) the champs are #1 until they lose.
2. Denver Broncos - Denver is much closer to Seattle than people realize. The best offense and a talented veteran defense could win the super bowl, and they may be the favorites after 17 weeks.
3. San Francisco 49ers - My upset pick to knock off the Seahawks and take the NFC West, but that pick is unfounded so they stay below Seattle.
4. Indianapolis Colts - Their coaching and QB play is top tier. Barring a huge season from the Titans, they're already in the playoffs.
5. New Orleans Saints - They should dominate their division and earn a great record.
6. Green Bay Packers - They won the division without Aaron Rodgers healthy. There's no reason to think that changes this year.
7. Chicago Bears - The passing game is only going to get better with another year under Trestman, and better would be scary.
8. New England Patriots - Tom Brady is still the QB? And Bill's coaching? Check and check. Winning season.
9. New York Giants - Hugely improved in the offseason. I think they win the division by one game at 11-5.
10. New York Jets - Call it a gut feeling. Rex Ryan is too good of a coach not to fix the Jets this year.
11. Pittsburgh Steelers
12. Philadelphia Eagles - Very talented, but they will drop a few they shouldn't.
13. Carolina Panthers
14. Cincinatti Bengals
15. Atlanta Falcons - They're going to get back to 2012 shape, but not quite in time to save the season.
16. San Diego Chargers
17. Baltimore Ravens
18. Tennessee Titans - They'll improve and make the playoffs.
19. Kansas City Chiefs
20. Cleveland Browns - Johnny Manziel takes the reins in week 5 as the Browns are winless. He wins 7 of the next of the next 12 with a depleted Browns team.
21. Washington Redskins - RGIII bounces back, but no one else does in Washington.
22. St. Louis Rams - I'm not as big a fan of their draft as everybody else. It pains me to see Jeff Fisher struggle though.
23. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
24. Detroit Lions
25. Buffalo Bills
26. Houston Texans - That roster needs a few years of fixing, especially since they still don't have a quarterback.
27. Oakland Raiders
28. Minnesota Vikings - Bridgewater gets rushed into starting and makes too many mistakes his rookie year. He'll be great someday, but not in 2014.
29. Arizona Cardinals - The team that almost made the playoffs in 2013 won't even be close next year.
30. Dallas Cowboys - This kind of meltdown has seemed like it's been one year away for 5 years.
31. Miami Dolphins
32. Jacksonville Jaguars - A few free agency improvements and a backup QB with the third pick won't change the fact that they have the least talented offense and defense in the NFL. Their defense has barely improved from 2012, when it recorded only 20 sacks, less than JJ Watt that year.

Switch the score in the Super Bowl and Saints rookie Stanley Jean-Baptiste ends game with a pick six and you get a thumbs up

Suprised you have the Steelers as the #2 seed. I would like that. The Jets winning that division though is insane. No way it is going to happen.

How do you logically have the 4th best team (according to your rankings) lose the division to the 18th best team(according to your rankings) ?

Also lol@ 19

one day, Morkim was born. He grew up pretty much like normal people do. He went to school when he was little and he learned lots of things. He learned math, art, science and almost everything else. Unfortunately for the forum Morkim would one day join, his school never taught him how to read. Then one day, Juggs told Morkim what reading was. It's where you see letters and figure out what they mean. This changed Morkim's life. Suddenly he started reading all sorts of things like milk cartons and the instructions on the trampoline he tried to build and even a book about pumpkins. He became the best reader that there ever was. Once he did this, he went back to Juggs' thread and saw that the man who taught him to read had actually written something very important in the thread, something that Morkim must have missed since he hadn't learned to read yet.

Division Standings Predictions (not supposed to be in line with the power rankings)

It was written in tiny letters. It wasn't really, but by this time Morkim was already several thousand years old since that's how long it takes to become the greatest reader the world had ever known. His vision wasn't as good as it had once been so he pushed his head closer and closer to his ancient computer monitor. He couldn't read it until he mushed his eyeball all the way onto his screen.

(not supposed to be in line with the power rankings)

As a reading expert, Morkim recognized that the curvy things that looked like rainbows were parentheses, and thus, there was some meaning to be inferred from the enclosed text. It then dawned on the confused old man that he had made a tragic mistake with the comment he left, so he deleted it and thumbed up this post, the only way to avoid the infinite shame of the mistake he made for over 1000 years.

I read it. That doesn't explain your logic.
