Chapter 1084: 1083 Overall First
The 2019 season, after seven weeks of fierce regular-season battles, as October events are coming to a close, the strength and state of the teams have already begun to show their outlines.
Kansas City Chiefs, offensive group ranked second, defensive group ranked seventh.
Offensively, for the third consecutive season, the Kansas City Chiefs delivered a top-tier offensive performance, yet ranked second, which is a slight surprise, sowhat unexpected—
Currently leading the league in offense is none other than Jackson-led Baltimore Ravens.
Despite the Baltimore Ravens facing a tough defeat against the Kansas City Chiefs; Jackson bounced back, quickly regaining his confidence, turning sha and anger into motivation, delivering a perfect answer.
From trics such as yardage, average points per ga, number of first downs, and other data, the offense of the Baltimore Ravens indeed slightly leads the Kansas City Chiefs.
Jackson, rampaging through, no wonder many believe Jackson has the capability to contend for the regular-season MVP.
Nevertheless, Kansas City Chiefs Offensive group is undoubtedly top-notch in the league; the partnership between Mahos and Li Wei remains a feared duo in the league, any defensive group must stay vigilant.
However, it must be said that the Kansas City Chiefs offensive group performing well is not a surprise; what truly catches the eye should be the defensive group.
The defensive group, undergoing a transition of old and new, has stabilized amidst chaos and turbulence; the defensive front showcased a new face while the defensive secondary rose fully, exhibiting entirely different posture and intensity compared to the last two seasons.
Impressive!
This offseason, the bold reconstruction led by Veach finally achieved dividends.
Currently ranked seventh in the league, so gaps and shortcomings remain from reaching the truly elite defensive teams, yet the team has escaped last year’s bottom-tier predicant, and this young team still holds space for growth and progress.
In the absence of a top-tier superstar presence, players like Jones, Matty, Clark, Fuller, and others showcased their strength through outstanding performance.
Renewed inside and out.
Thanks to this, the Kansas City Chiefs are considered the currently comprehensive strongest team in the league—
Every year, the league chooses to collaborate with a professional analyst to write a column, relying on their professional knowledge for observation and research, listing the power rankings each week based on ga results and team performance.
This list firstly carries strong personal views, representing personal opinions; secondly, professional analysts do not solely focus on wins and losses:
So victories, the opponent might be too weak; so victories, filled with errors, even winning doesn’t indicate outstanding strength.
So losses might just be due to luck; so losses might result from strong collisions down to the last mont.
So, victories do not represent strength, and losses do not represent weakness.
Professional analysts cannot rely analyze data and talk on paper; every week, they need to watch all sixteen gas and conduct in-depth analysis, from tactics to conditions, to on-spot changes, player performances, etc.
Finally.
Based on their judgnt, they list the power rankings, for reference only.
From the NFL’s perspective, to ensure the authority and objectivity of the list, different professional insiders are invited to accomplish this task every year; thus, despite personal viewpoints, it still carries reference value, not only television programs, podcasts, journalists will refer to, but also team coaching staff willing to read this list to absorb professional knowledge nutrient.
Currently, in this year’s ranking, Kansas City Chiefs are at the top.
According to professional opinions, the Kansas City Chiefs did not settle on the success of the past two seasons but continued to improve and perfect, aiming to build a complete and balanced team.
Offseason. Pre-season. Regular season.
Step by step, they unveil tactics, and the truly terrifying aspect is that this Kansas City Chiefs team still hasn’t finished, they have potential yet to be tapped, and keep adjusting within the season’s progression.
“The footsteps of the defending champions remain ahead of other teams.”
So, what about Green Bay Packers?
On this official league ranking, they only rank sixth as of now.
Despite Green Bay Packers maintaining an undefeated record, as one of the four unbeaten teams, they haven’t been in the top four, even trailing behind Baltimore Ravens and New Orleans Saints, temporarily in sixth place.
At least, judging from this ranking, Kansas City Chiefs are indeed more favored, no wonder the league sentint generally leans this way.
Where lies the reason?
Overall.
The current Green Bay Packers have too many gaps and deficiencies; last season, after Rodgers signed a history-refreshing contract and stayed healthy, the team’s season record was rely six wins, nine losses, and one tie, creating Green Bay Packers’ worst season since 2008.
Head Coach Mike-McCarthy’s conservativeness was criticized heavily by fans; eventually, he was fired after losing to Arizona Cardinals, the league’s bottom team, in Week 13 of the regular season, losing his job.
McCarthy was the past savior, in 2006, taking over the declining Green Bay Packers, not only cultivating Rodgers single-handedly but also leading the team to reach the Super Bowl crown in the 2010 season, his credit undeniable; but precisely for this reason, the Green Bay Packers’ managent did not replace him even though he showed conservative tactics and continuous errors in roster adjustnts during the offseason three seasons ago.
Until now.
However, firing McCarthy does not an all problems can be solved.
Offseason, after losing legendary wide receiver Jordy-Nelson last season, they again lost Randall-Cobb, Clay-Matthews, and other legendary players—
Severe blood loss.
Moreover, Green Bay Packers choosing the forty-year-old Matt-LaFleur as head coach, the decision seems questionable.
After McCarthy’s departure, interim head coach Joe-Philbin tried to seize the chance to secure this crucial job, yet he failed; a record of two wins and two losses in the final four gas could not convince the managent.
So, the offseason was rife with rumors regarding the new Green Bay Packers head coach.
The indecisive Offensive Coordinator of the New England Patriots Mike-McDaniels, Vic Fangio who was newly appointed as head coach of the Denver Broncos this season, Harbaugh who reportedly fell out with the team during the offseason at Baltimore Ravens, Pederson imrsed in transfer uncertainties as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles were all linked with the Green Bay Packers head coach seat.
However, ultimately LaFleur erged from the crowd.
Who is LaFleur?
LaFleur has never served as head coach, despite once serving as Offensive Coordinator for the Washington Redskins, but soon returned to college-level work, until the 2015 season when he re-joined the professional league, working as a quarterback coach for the Atlanta Falcons.
In other words, he has only barely returned to the NFL for four seasons.
Previously people scorned McVay for only recently turning thirty yet becoming the head coach of Los Angeles Rams, now LaFleur, with virtually no professional league experience or resu, took the head coach job for Green Bay Packers.
Is this really good?
