The 9ers OL has moved into tier 2 for the first time this year!
OL Rankings – Week 16
Tier 1: Elite
1. Eagles
2. Lions
The Lions were moved out of Tier 1 after a bad loss and a week later after a good win, they were moved back in,...lol.
How can anyone take this seriously at this point?
And save the jubilation because the 9ers moving up isin't a milestone to be proud of. It's an embarrassment of the list to begin with. It shows that what we were told @ the beginning of the year was just a bunch of hot air.
But telling an audience "I dont know who the best OLines are" @ the beginning of the year wont sell very many subscriptions. You are pitching a service that is dependent on scoreboard results and can hardly be any more inconsistent.
Also interesting the 9ers d line ranking falls because of a poor week that was likely injury related but the Cowboys get destroyed by Buffalo up front and don't see a drop.
Come on dude. This isn't that hard. These are "weekly" rankings.
At the time they were made this week, this was why:
49ers – DT Arik Armstead suffered a knee injury two weeks ago against the Eagles that will likely keep him out for the third game in a row. DT Javon Hargrave missed last week's game with a hamstring injury and didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday.
They are also looking at the OL solely, not end team results in wins/losses as well as the talent available each week comparatively.
Also, if you don't agree this week, let's see yours. I'd love to hear your expert breakdowns.
You still think this is a tier 1 DL without Armstead and Hargrave after watching Kinlaw and Givens get pwned the week prior? LOL
