2011 Power Rankings

This season should be interesting.

32. Bengals - Rookie Quarterbacks never get it done unless they are in a fail-proof, run-heavy defensive team. Good luck, Andy Dalton!

31. Seahawks - Tavaris Jackson.

30. Jaguars - Luke McCown.

29. 49ers - Alex Smith.

28. Panthers - They can run the ball. Ron Rivera can call a game defensively. Can Cam Newton "slam guys" as John Gruden puts it?

27. Browns - If Peyton Hillis gets hurt, and he will, this team won't be competitive.

26. Bills - When you can't stop the run, you can't win games.

25. Titans - Jeff Fisher is one of the most under-rated coaches of this decade.

24. Raiders - There's something missing with this team.

23. Dolphins - Defense is not good enough to carry Chad Henne.

22. Redskins - This team may shock people, and win 7 games.

21. Broncos - With Dumervil and Miller, their defense will be improved, and John Fox made Jake Delhomme look good.

20. Cardinals - I think if Kolb will be good, it's going to take some time.

19. Giants - If you gamble, take the over in every game this year. Their defense is already decimated.

18. Rams - Steven Jackson is old, and there will be a lot of pressure on Sam Brad. Expect big things soon with him and Josh McDaniels, but not for a while.

17. Lions - I will move them down 7 spots immediately next week, when Matt Stafford gets hurt.

16. Chiefs - If this team stays healthy, great things can happen. I just feel Jamal Charles gets hurt sometime. He runs too hard and isn't big enough.

15. Bears - Jay Cutler isn't the biggest issue with this team. Their tackles can't pass block. Forte can have a big year in the passing game if this continues, Cutler won't have any time to throw downfield.

14. Texans - This teams playoff chances will rely on Arian Foster, or Ben Tate, and the secondary. How quick will Super Mario adjust to the 3-4?

13. Colts - This ranking can change to 30 very quickly.

12. Cowboys - Will Romo be healthy? Will this team play with heart now that the Cowardly Lion (Wade Phillips) is gone? Will Mike Jenkins have 50 yards in penalties a game?

11. Chargers - I've said it since day one. The Chargers will never win anything substantial with Norv Turner. He has Wade Phillips and Cam Cameron syndrome.

10. Buccaneers - Was the defense a fluke? Offensively, they are no joke.

9. Vikings - Yes, I'm serious. McNabb will be good enough at play-action so that they can't stack the box. Peterson will be Peterson. This team can turn the clock back to 2007.

8. Jets - Do you think Rex Ryan gets a little aroused during Field Goals?

7. Falcons - Arthur Blank looks like a pedophile on that bus.

6. Ravens - No excuses Joe Flacco, your team is stacked. Lee Evans and Vontae Leach are all you need offensively. Will the defense be too old?

5. Saints - Drew Brees and an opportunistic Defense is sometimes all you need.

4. Packers - They catch no one by surprise now. Every game for them is someone elses Super Bowl now. It's why no one has been able to repeat for almost 15 years.

3. Eagles - Vick is still a dog murderer.

2. Patriots - If Ocho and Haynesworth pan out, this team is unstoppable. Also, "Woodhead" sounds like oral sex with a peglegged pirate.

1. Steelers - Power Run. Aggressive, dominant Defense. 5 talented receivers? This team is scarier than Big Ben in central park at 4 am.
