NFL Power Rankings

Volume V

1. New Orleans Saints (6-0): The Saints looked like the Saints of old at the beginning of the game this week...and somehow they were still able to put up 46 points on the scoreboard. By the way, don't the Darren Sharper naysayers from the past few years look silly now?

2. Denver Broncos (6-0): Has anyone else noticed that Jay Cutler has 10 times as many interceptions as Kyle Orton? I'm not a big fan of passer rating, but Orton's rating is 100.1 on the season. If he keeps playing well, Denver is going to be tough to beat.

3. Indianapolis Colts (6-0): With the Titans falling off the face of the earth, the Colts might have smooth sailing in the AFC South. If that means homefield advantage, then Peyton could be shutting his critics up once again this year.

4. Minnesota Vikings (6-1): We all knew that the real Brett Favre would show up sooner or later. Sure, you can blame Chester Taylor for that last interception, but when a guy who has a history of throwing nail-in-the-coffin-pick-six interceptions, the guy is going to take some flack.

5. Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2): Pittsburgh beat Minnesota last week, but that game was a lot closer than it should have been -- considering that the game was in Pittsburgh and that Minnesota was probably a little worn out from the previous week.

6. New England Patriots (5-2): Could the NFL have picked a worse game to showcase the NFL to the Brits? Not only was this not an interesting game, but we send a team overseas to remind the Brits how we whooped their ass 230 years ago.

7. Cincinnati Bengals (5-2): Bengals are still on the prowl. I'm sure there are still some doubters out there, but the Bengals aren't just beating up on bottom-feeders -- they've now beaten Chicago, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and Green Bay.

8. Arizona Cardinals (4-2): Arizona stumbled out of the gates but seems to have regrouped over the bye week and are looking a lot better this year. And oh yeah, their run defense is looking really good.

9. New York Giants (5-2): I'm still chalking these losses up to Eli's heel injury. The Giants can tell us that he's fine but Eli looks off the past two weeks.

10. Baltimore Ravens (3-3): Ravens could definitely use the bye week, they've had some tough games and they need to figure things out defensively. Baltimore has now let up more than 24 points in 4 games this season. Granted, that's not terrible, but it's not what we're used to seeing from the Ravens.

11. Houston Texans (4-3): The defense still has some issues to work on but this offense just looks scary out there. Andre Johnson is an absolute beast.

12. Philadelphia Eagles (4-2): Sure, the Eagles came away with the win this week, but they looked awful out there. The offense still isn't clicking and 7 weeks into the season, that's a problem.

13. San Diego Chargers (3-3): Nothing gets your confidence up like pummeling the shit out of the Kansas City Chiefs. By the way, LT could be back. He's got over 70 rushing yards the past two weeks. Definitely a good sign for the Chargers.

14. Green Bay Packers (4-2): I'm trying to write a comment without bringing up that dreaded five letter word that we know all commentators are going to be saying over and over and over again this week. Sorry, I can't do it, he just has way too much fun playing the game for me to ignore him. Favre. There, I said it.

15. Dallas Cowboys (4-2): Well, the Cowboys actually played well for once against the Falcons. Let's see if they can do it more than once a month.

16. Atlanta Falcons (4-2): Losing to the Cowboys is fine, but letting Miles Austin run rampant in your secondary? Who are you, the Chiefs?

17. New York Jets (4-3): I'm still doubtful about the Jets. They look good one week and like complete shit the next. They're about as consistent as my shit after a binge trip to Taco Bell.

18. San Francisco 49ers (3-3): Joe Montana. Steve Young. Alex Smith? Well, his name is just as generic as Montana and Young, and he looked good this past week despite the loss. 49ers might be in good hands with this guy.

19. Chicago Bears (3-3): Letting up 45 points to the Bengals? Aren't the Bears supposed to be good on defense?

20. Miami Dolphins (2-4): Ya know, the Dolphins actually had a chance to take down the Saints. That means they've played both the Colts and Saints hard this year, despite coming home with the loss. Moral victory? No such thing, but it definitely shows something about this team.

21. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-3): Jaguars need to figure things out. They're 3-3 so they still have a shot, but they're underdogs going up against Tennessee this week. Frankly, that's insulting.

22. Buffalo Bills (3-4): Is this team turning it around? Is Ryan Fitzpatrick the answer? Both answers are probably no. But the Bills did get me 6 points in my upset challenge this week.

23. Seattle Seahawks (2-4): Tough game against Dallas coming up this week. I have faith in Seattle, though. Ok, maybe it's just that I really, really want Dallas to lose.

24. Carolina Panthers (2-4): How the fuck did the Panthers win 12 games last year?

25. Detroit Lions (1-5): Best 1-win team in the league. That means something, right?

26. Oakland Raiders (2-5): Why couldn't the week 7 Oakland Raiders team show up against the Eagles in week 6?

27. Cleveland Browns (1-6): It doesn't feel good to be a Cleveland sports fan right now. LeBron's contract is up after the season, two pitchers who used to be Indians started game 1 of the World Series, and the Browns are playing like...well, the Browns.

28. Kansas City Chiefs (1-6): Larry Johnson is fuckin' gay.

29. Washington Redskins (2-5): This team looks jeffing terrible. And now their starting TE is out. Not Cooley, dude.

30. Tennessee Titans (0-6): This team should shorten its name to the Tits. I mean, why not? Much like tits, these guys seem to enjoy being slapped around.

31. St. Louis Rams (0-7): Look on the bright side, at least Rush Limbaugh isn't going to be allowed to buy the team. But then I think about it, why not? He can't make the team any worse.

32. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-7): Now even people over in England know how bad these guys suck.

Giants are ranked too high. Eli's heel injury blah blah blah or not, no reason why they should've been shut down by a bleek secondary (bleeker than there's imho!) in Arizone, and they definitely shouldn't have let the Saints walk all over them like they did. The Dolphins putting up a stronger fight is a testimant to every Giant fan. If Miami could walk all over them for almost 3 quarters of play and the Giants couldn't gain the upper hand ONCE, that's not good news.
