unPower Rankings, Week 8: Word association

The Seahawks have been 31 or 32 in the unPower Rankings for a very long time. That time has finally ended.

This past week in the NFL, more and more teams started to seem like they weren't as good as we thought they were. Even if we thought they were bad, maybe they're worse. It almost seems like teams went 4-26 this week instead of 15-15. Did anyone win?

When you look around at teams like the 49ers and Bengals, words like "fraud" and "overrated" start to pop up. And yes, when you think about the Seahawks and their last two losses, "hardcrashbacktoearth" is another word (yeah, it's a word!) comes to mind.

As far as bouncing back and who will be around in January, I think the best thing to do is look around at quarterbacks and wonder which QBs can provide a comeback or turn a season around, and which ones can't. Maybe the Saints will come back. The Bucs probably won't.
