Week 11 Power Rankings & Ramblings

Ramblings

In week 10, the NFL reminded us why we watch. Always expect the unexpected. Let's just recap the weekend.

Buffalo got their 1st (and probably only) win of the season.

Dallas, New England, Denver, Chicago, Miami, Jacksonville, and Seattle all provided upsets.

The Jets got another win via another teams late, costly mistake.

Miami lost 2 quarterbacks, one for the season, and Thigpen still led them to victory.

Randy Moss was nearly invisible.

Dez Bryant looked like Randy Moss (1998).

Mike Thomas looked like Dennis Rodman.

Michael Vick rushed for more yards than AP, and threw for more yards than Peyton Manning. He scored 4 less touchdowns in this game than Favre has all year.

Power Rankings

32. Panthers (1-8) - With Vick doing so well, why not try Armanti Edwards at quarterback? He beat Michigan.

31. Lions (2-7) - It could be worse...

30. Bills (1-8) - I wonder if the 2008 Detroit Lions pop champagne when every team gets their 1st win?

29. Bengals (2-7) - Do you think Carsons' letting Jordan play the 1st three quarters, and not telling anyone?

28. Broncos (3-6) - Yeah, Yeah. They won. They still suck.

27. Cowboys (2-7) - See 28.

26. 49ers (3-6) - See 27.

25. Vikings (3-6) Do you think Dr. James Andrews will check out Favre's penis?

24. Cardinals (3-6) Look at the brightside, Cardinals Fans, Tom Tupa is available.

23. Redskins (4-5) Five more years! Five more years!

22. Texans (4-5) Let's play a little game, called just the tip, see how it feels?

21. Rams (4-5) Remember when the Rams sucked? Oh, wait, they still do.

20. Chiefs (5-4) I guess Todd Haley wanted a hi-five.

19. Browns (3-6) Browns fans hope Chansi Stuckey takes his talents to South Beach.

18. Titans (5-4) If Tyler Thigpen comes in and beats you, chances are the playoffs aren't likely.

17. Dolphins (5-4) If Tyler Thigpen is your quarterback, chances are the playoffs aren't likely.

16. Seahawks (5-4) They got blown out at home, and then win a road game? Hell is freezing over.

15. Bears (6-3) I'm still not fooled. No Cinderella story here. Jay Cutler's arm will turn into a pumpkin soon enough.

14. Jaguars (5-4) I'd rather be lucky than good.

13. Chargers (4-5) This team has been decimated with injuries. However, they're fresh now, and coming off a bye. Anyone smell a Monday night massacre?

12. Raiders (5-4) If they can beat the Steelers...just kidding. They can't beat the Steelers.

11. Saints (6-3) I miss Iron Head Heyward.


10. Buccaneers (6-3) Williams and Blount give this team a nice one-two punch.

9. Packers (6-3) This team can't run the ball. There are too many other good teams to rank any higher.

8. Giants (6-3) Injuries at receiver may end up costing them the division.

7. Colts (6-3) See number nine, Except the Colts have Manning.

6. Ravens (6-3) Tough loss. Can the secondary step up against the better teams?

5. New York Jets (7-2) They can't scrape by crappy teams forever and expect to win Super Bowls.

4. Steelers (6-3) Still the most dangerous team in the NFL. Tomlin just got out-coached by Belichick.

3. Patriots (7-2) Dominant performance on Sunday Night.

2. Falcons (7-2) I smell NFC Championship. They might even host it in the Georgia Dome.

1. Eagles (6-3) Unfortunately, I have a dog's sense of smell.
