NFL power rankings, Week 8: Vikings fall, Lions rise

Despite the change at quarterback, this is still the same bad San Francisco team run by the same fraudulent coach. Ok, maybe I still have a grudge with Chip after what he dismantled in Philadelphia. Many involved with the NFL believe Chip is not suited for the NFL. It’s hard to dump a coach after one year, but the 49ers have done it before. Leaving the defense on the field for 60 percent of the game and wearing them down to the bone does not work. Having five plays with some differentials does not work. Chip Kelly simply does not have a style that meshes with the NFL. <p>Next Week: San Francisco has a bye week after suffering their sixth loss of the season. Following that, they will host Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints for what should be a blowout of epic proportions. Not to mention they follow that up with Arizona and New England in late-afternoon games.</p> <p>Playoff Hopes: How do I put this lightly? There are none. Zip, zero, zilch. Instead of a race to the playoffs, the 49ers are on a race to the NFL Draft with the Cleveland Browns to see who gets Deshone and who gets DeShaun. Those fans are in for a heck of a ride.</p>. 1-6.
