NFL Power Rankings: Week 15
1. San Diego Chargers (11-2): I like what they are doing by giving LT many touches, wreaking havoc on defense, and creaming every team they face. It's working, they're winning, and they're confident. Look for a serious playoff run from the Chargers this year.
2. Chicago Bears (11-2): I like the way Grossman played against the Rams, but that's only one game, and the Rams aren't that good. That all being said, they are 11-2, they are poised to go 14-2 with home field advantage, and on top of all that good stuff, Devin Hester is whooping special teams across the league like they are all in wheelchairs. It's fabulous stuff we are watching from Devin Hester.
3. Baltimore Ravens (10-3): With three games left against Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo, a second or first seed in the AFC seems likely with a collapsing Colt team, and a Patriot team clearly out of that mix. Great Defense, and a Super Bowl hungry QB makes this team very dangerous.
4. New Orleans Saints (9-4): I love what Drew Brees is doing right now, and with an easy victory against the Cowboys last week combined with a puzzling Bears team makes a Super Bowl run very possible. Note: They aren't a joke, a happy story team, or a pretender. They are a contender.
5. New England Patriots (9-4): I know the Dolphins gave them a whooping last week, but with the Texans coming to town, and Tom Brady at the helm, the division title should be theirs after the game tomorrow. But the real litmist test is gonna be the next week @ Jacksonville. If they beat the red-hot Jaguars, then they can brag about something. I don't know how good they are, but they really do seem to be a coin-toss team. Since they are an AFC team, the playoffs should be a real challenge for this team to say the least. Note: Tom Brady "The Golden Boy", can lead these boys to the promised land if they trust in him (which I think they do).
6. Jacksonville Jaguars (8-5): They CRUSHED Indy last week like the Lion in Wizard of Oz should have crushed the Tin Man, and they look confident. Scary stuff coming out of Jacksonville.
7. Indianapolis Colts (10-3): If you can't stop the run, that means that the offense has to put up a lot of points. Listen, I love Peyton Manning as a great QB, but without a defense, what can he do. If you still have faith in the Colts, maybe you'll change your mind when you hear this stat: The Colts are 32nd (dead last) in rush defense. That means any team with a good Runing Back (like San Diego, Cincinnati, Jacksonville, or Kansas City) will walk all over them like an old lady walking across a conveyer belt (no effort at all).
8. Cincinnati Bengals (8-5): I like the momentum, and oh by the way, they will beat the Colts on Monday Night. Carson is looking great, Chad is being Chad, Rudy is being Rudy, and Marvin Lewis looks a whole lot more comfortable than he did four weeks ago, when they were 4-5 and were desperate for a season saving win.
9. Dallas Cowboys (8-5): Tony Romo may have been "exposed" last week, but they still look like the prime of the NFC East. That being said, with a "snitching" T.O. aboard the ship, and a distressed/emotionally strectched/totally embarrased Bill Parcels coach leading the way, this team may have a rocky post-season.
10. Phildelphia Eagles (7-6): Jeff Garcia at QB leading the charge and winning is shocking, but if you remember he did reach the Pro Bowl 3 straight years with the 49ers.
11. Atlanta Falcons (7-6): Vick at RB? Questionable, controversial, and sounds like a desperate move for a desperate team. That being said, I like this team. I keep thinking one year everything will come together for Vick and all will be well.
12. New York Giants (7-6): They play Philly on Sunday, and all truth will be told about who should go to the playoffs and snag that NFC wild card spot.
13. New York Jets (7-6): As much as I like the Jets, they aren't going to the playoffs in the AFC. They blew their chances last week when they lost to the goofy Bills.
14. Kansas City Chiefs (7-6): Same deal as the Jets, only the schedule is a bitch. They gotta face San Diego tomorrow, and Jacksonville in two weeks. Ouch!
15. Seattle Seahawks (8-6): How did they lose to the 49ers? They got crushed. What a lame performance.
16. Tennessee Titans (6-7): Four wins in a row, and if they beat the Jaguars tomorrow, this Vince Young led team will really be looking at a positive future for years to come.
17. Denver Broncos (7-6): If Jay Cutler is at QB, they are doomed. With Jake "The Snake" Plummer , they thought they were doomed. Listen, they've lost four straight, and I don't think changing QB's midway through the season was very smart.
18. Pittsburgh Steelers (6-7): No playoffs, but regarding Ben's motor cycle accident, and the departure of "The Bus", things could be worse, but still should be better.
19. San Francisco 49ers (6-8): As great as the Seattle win was, you can't help but think that the loss to Green Bay is a thorn in their side. Note: I love what Alex Smith did, and Frank Gore looks like the next great running back in the NFL.
20. Carolina Panthers (6-7): Where have all the good times gone? Super Bowl talk, and best in the NFL arguments pointing their direction seem to be a hazy memory.
21. Minnesota Vikings (6-7): They suck, but they still are 6-7. They are barely alive in this playoff mix. They aren't gonna make it, but why not throw them into the stew?
22. Miami Dolphins (6-7): They've made a valiant effort after that 1-6 start, but you can't start 1-6 and expect much of a season.
23. St. Louis Rams (5-8): I'm sure they really wanna get another shot at Devin Hester now. They suck like a sucker (that's the lamest punn I've created in a long time).
24. Buffalo Bills (6-7): Tomorrow's date with the Dolphins should be very interesting. It's a game worth watching, but at the same time it's utterly meaningless.
25. Green Bay Packers (5-8): They're alive by a strand of a string, and that doesn't give you much hope if your a Packer fan.
26. Cleveland Browns (4-9): They suck, and Winslow is an overated, sleazy bum.
27.Houston Texans (4-9): They have to wonder whether "Super Mario" was the best choice when you have "Victorious" Vince Young winning games at QB for the Titans, and Reggie Bush running all over teams across the NFL.
28. Washington Redskins (4-9): Losing Clinton Portis ruined their season.
29. Arizona Cardinals (4-9): I like what they are doing with Matt Leinart, but the real problem was they had to high hopes for their team.
30. Tampa Bay Bucanneers (3-10): What a horrid season.
31. Oakland Raiders (2-11): They have no clue what to due. That spells trouble.
32. Detroit Lions (2-11): I don't know what to say except that firing Millin is the best thing for this team.
2. Chicago Bears (11-2): I like the way Grossman played against the Rams, but that's only one game, and the Rams aren't that good. That all being said, they are 11-2, they are poised to go 14-2 with home field advantage, and on top of all that good stuff, Devin Hester is whooping special teams across the league like they are all in wheelchairs.
