NFL Power Rankings

I’m a little slow on the draw with the Power Rankings this week. I usually have them ready to go for Tuesday morning, but with all the upsets and 4-0 Lions to try to figure out, I needed extra time.

I still believe we will have a handful of teams that can pull a complete 180 and either eat sh!t or run the table this season. This year has been just too hard to figure out.

The Packers look unstoppable! The Falcons (Sunday Night) are the first real test Green Bay will face since their week one match-up against the Saints. I really like Green Bay this week, but regardless it’s the only game that I could see them losing for the next month.

The Ravens are running at a higher speed than most. The offense looks solid and the defense looks unbelievably scary. Baltimore is making the jump from 6 to 2 on this board. Their position at this spot is pending, as I really think we are not through with the Lions winning streak yet. Still, heading into a bye, the Ravens will claim the 2nd best spot on this board for now.

I know the top two teams on this board should be the ones that have no losses, but it’s the Detroit Lions! I need to see more out of them before they can get a top spot. The Lions top performers on Sunday were Megatron and Tony Romo. A win’s a win, but c’mon that one was a gift. Beat the Bears in prime time and I’ll give you position 2.

The Patriots took over the second half in Oakland, Brady to Welker is ruining the league and someone needs to figure this out before the passing and receiving records are ripped to shreds. The Pats slip a couple spots to make room for the impressive Ravens win and Lions winning streak. It’s still early…

I know you won, but you beat the Jaguars. I’m sorry but I’ve got to drop you until you can beat a tougher opponent; start with the Panthers.

Nice win after a heartbreaking meltdown against the Saints. It came at a heavy price though, as Andre Johnson is expected to miss 3-4 weeks. Considering you don’t have a great 2nd WR option on the team, things are about to get interesting.

Way to go Buffalo. Too busy high-fiving and bragging about the Patriots win? Dude…focus. Winning is new to you, so I’ll give you a break and only drop you 3 spots.

Another solid win for the Chargers. This week’s match-up against the divisional rival Broncos will be a great test for how much they have improved from a season ago.

The offense is sputtering at times with miscues and drops, but the whole of the team is coming together. Considering all the penalties and blown plays, I feel the Bucs are sitting pretty at 3-1.

I’m not sure this 3-1 record really reflects how the Giants are playing. You need to prove to me you’re the real deal. For now the G-Men move up the board 2 spots.

Hasselbeck looks like he is 25 again. Actually, he looks better than he played at 25. The Titans are early sleepers in the AFC…watch your backs, Texans.

Fell asleep at the wheel in the 4th quarter last week and nearly coughed up a Ram. A squeaker win that fans want to forget about.Hightower has recently claimed that the Redskins will be at the Superbowl; bold statement, but I think if you’re going to be there Hightower, it’ll be in the stands.

Biggest win I have seen this 49ers club string together in what….10 years? Really, a bigger comeback does not come to mind. Nice win, you ruined many sports bets last weekend.

Fans in Dallas need to watch their blood pressure this season. The heart-stopping all or nothing play from Tony Romo is going to kill people this year if he can’t get on track.

WTF? You know you were going up against the Ravens, right? What was with rotating centers mid game? Jets free fall from the 8th spot on this board.

You almost lost to the Seahawks, I’m not moving you anywhere. “No, you sit there! And think about what you almost did!”

Raiders played one good half of football. The Patriots seemed to re-group at half time, and Oakland was just out coached in the second half.

A very nervous win at home that left fans feeling troubled. A win is a win, but games against the Panthers, even with their newest superstar QB, aren’t supposed to be that close.

The Titans simply outmatched the Browns last week.

Some may think the Bengals were just in the right place at the right time, but I knew that they were going to take advantage of a Bills team still celebrating their Pats shocker. As you can see, I was the only Gridiron Expert to pick the Bengals last week…I picked a bunch of other crap that didn’t work out, but I’m still gonna brag about this one.

The Steelers are banged up and look like they have a Super Bowl Hangover

What a nightmare. This team has holes on the offensive line, trouble at linebacker, poor coaching, and players who lateral the ball (fumble) backwards on 3rd down in the red zone.

I’m sticking to my prediction: Tebow starts after the bye week.

Cam Newton and his prowling Panthers are defying all odds. The team looks like they could even be an NFC contender next season.

Kolb is going through a rough time in Arizona; he can’t seem to close these games out and players seem very frustrated.

Played tough against one of the best NFC teams around. Still, the Jags were no match for the Saints and look very raw.

So close. A 61 yard try for the win almost spoiled the Falcons trip to Seattle. If you watched this game you’d have seen Sidney Rice go offside, which caused a penalty and pushed back the Seahawks on the last drive. He also had a couple other bone-head plays in that game which hurt the team. I’m not sure the players focus is really there in Seattle, Pete Carroll may be better off coaching players in college.

I have to admit, Painter has the knowledge but lacks the talent. In terms of fantasy owners, I think he still gives Reggie Wayne, Garcon and company better stock value than Collins.

Way to screw yourself out of the best QB prospect since Peyton Manning.

Chad Henne needs to find McNabb, so they can cry together. This team will fire their coach; he has the talent on the field, but the effort is just not there on Sundays.

Start Ponder already! McNabb gets blamed for the defense and poor play calling, at least if the rookie is in there people will realize how terrible the rest of this team really is.

Bye week couldn’t have come at a better time…you stink!
