Eagles power ranking roundup: Week 16

Are power rankings completely dumb and meaningless? Yes.

Yes, they are.

However, personally speaking, whenever I see them, I click.

And now that I've sucked you in with promises of many power rankings, you'll read it and like it.

Here's where people around the country have the Eagles ranked after Week 15 of the regular season.

Oh, and here's our version of these sellout rankings , too.

NFL.com: 1st #JimmySays: The Eagles are pretty clearly the best team in the NFC, given the Lions' mountain of injuries.

ESPN: 1st Biggest improvement: Quarterback turnovers Jalen Hurts had seven turnovers in the first four games -- second only to Will Levis over that span -- and the Eagles started 2-2.

In the ensuing 10-game winning streak, he has had just three giveaways.

The decision to become a more ground-heavy offense helped.

But as shown in his 290-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Steelers, this offense is at its best when Hurts finds that sweet spot between being conservative and aggressive.

#JimmySays : During the streak heading into the Steelers game, Hurts had thrown 12 TDs vs.

1 INT, however, he was also averaging just 167.2 passing yards per game, and the ball often wasn't coming out when it should have.

I agree that there is a "sweet spot" in between being too careless and too cautious, and that the Steelers game is an example of what that can be.

Side note: During the Eagles' 10-game win streak, Hurts has 26 TDs (14 passing, 12 rushing) vs.

3 turnovers (1 INT, 2 lost fumbles) USA Today: 2nd #JimmySays : Technically, there's a three-way tie for the No.

1 scoring defense, as the Eagles, Broncos, and Chargers have all allowed 247 points this season.

As for yards allowed per game, there's a pretty sizable gap between the Eagles (275.6 yards allowed per game) and the Titans (297.4 per game).

Even if the Eagles allow 303 more yards than the Titans Week 16, they'll still have fewer yards per game allowed on the season.

Yahoo: 1st #JimmySays : The Eagles' passing offense looked good against the Steelers, but it was alarming in the three weeks that preceded that matchup.

I'm sure they wanted to be good in those other games, too.

Maybe the passing offense is fixed.

I dunno, we'll see.

There were encouraging signs on Sunday, but can they be consistent? CBS: 2nd #JimmySays : The Chiefs hold the No.

1 spot in these power rankings, because .

They're not even in the top 10 in point differential, and Patrick Mahomes is hurt.

The Bills? Sure.

PFT: 1st #JimmySays : Amen.

The backlash against "the media" in the aftermath of the Eagles' self-created drama this past week was weird as hell.

Some dude even chartered a plane to fly over the stadium that read, "Enough fake news! Philly stands with 1 and 11." When asked what the media did in the week leading up to the game that had him bothered, the person who claimed to have paid for the flyover responded, "Countless times, the media (local and national) pushed the objectively untrue narrative that there was a personal rift between Jalen and AJ.

Maintained enough plausible deniability with BGs (sic) poorly worded comments, and used that to drive ratings at the obvious expense of the team." "Objectively untrue," lol.

The beloved 15-year vet said, direct quote, I know 1 is trying and 11 could be better with how he responds to things.

They were friends, but things have changed.

But don't talk about it, media! Anyway, I guess the full explanation of the beef with the media didn't fit on the banner.
