2010 NFL Power Rankings: Playoffs
Week 18 Fantasy Performers, Defenses, League Leaders

You're right, Christian Ponder won't perform better because of Jennings and Patterson. It will be because he has an extra year of experience and only his second full NFL season. As Vikings fan, I understand the skepticism, but Ponder is far from a lost cause. At least for now.

we added a pass rusher in the draft (williams) and another in the free agency (phillips). i also don't think dumervil has been that good since he went from olb back to de. he doesn't produce all the time like miller, he gets his sacks mostly against lowly opponents and doesn't play well against the run.
and we can sign half the starters on defense for his kind of money.
his loss hurts - but not that much.

One thing you continue to fail to mention about the Bills is that we got an extra 2nd round pick for the trade so we couldn't of had Austin and Manuel. We did hoever get Manuel, Robert Woods and Kiko Alonso in the first two rounds instead. We we're one pick from getting Minter which then would've been a lights out deal but oh well

You are crazy dude. You contradict yourself in your own rant.
"The championship team, shall remain the championship team, until said team is removed from its pedestal" Where you imply the 49ers should be #1 because they won the division.

You then later say "The best team in the NFL? On paper, maybe. But it's all about wins. And frankly, the Denver Broncos hold that title. Or Atlanta, if you feel inclined. I'm not going to be the guy that says "MY TEAM (49ers) WERE THE BEST NOT THE HAWKS" because they didn't have enough W's to earn that title. So once again, you are wrong." Where it seems you are stating that Denver or Atlanta should be #1 because they won more games.

Also, if the Ravens won the title, should they not be #1??

So please grace us with your genius. Who should be #1? Denver or Atlanta for having 13 wins? SF for winning their division? or Baltimore for winning the Super Bowl? You make arguments that all 4 teams should be #1 with your statements.

Also, remember power rankings are a like a Balance Sheet in accounting. It's a look at right now. Power Rankings rank the teams based on current rosters, recent success and future schedule. Seahawks have "The best team in the NFL? On paper, maybe" (That's your words) which means if they currently have a better roster, have an easier schedule than SF this coming season and have had very good recent success, they should be ranked quite high.

Get over your blinding homer-ism for once.

Maybe Bushrod was overpaid, maybe Long is 'raw' however neither are the main reason for believing Cutler will no longer be 'running for his life'... Marc Trestman/Aaron Kromers offense/zone blocking scheme are the real reason. West coast based, throw the ball to a spot not a player system will have Cutler upright moreso than at anytime during his career.

Never doubt ozzie or ray rice will f*** up ur bets that 4th and 29 was b.s ns I'm a ravens fan.. go bad refs wooooo

Seems like you're putting all the focus on who the Falcons lost. The Falcons replaced the guys they lost. Steven Jackson is not the only player they added...And Brent Grimes didn't even play last year.

The Ravens were a 10-6 team last year. They needed two miracles last year. 4th and 29 and that horrible play by the safety in that Denver game. Denver should have been in three deep anyway, bad coaching as well.
Ravens played the Steelers twice without Roethlisberger and lost at home to Charlie Batch. The 4th down call at the 2 yard line was pass interference in today's rules and the official swallowed the whistle.
Cincinnati or Pittsburgh will win the AFC North in 2013.

You're getting to hung up on the Matt Barkley pick. It doesn't preclude them from taking a more "Chip Kelly" QB next year.

Reiff's arms are longer than those of Joe Thomas and Jake Long, and are just as long as Joe Staley's.

If you have a valid reason why Reiff can't play left tackle, let us know, but this whole arm length thing is lazy.

Man, is it me or does it seem like Walt knows less about football now then he did 4-5 years ago. Sometimes I wonder if it's the same guy running this site because for the past few years the Mock Drafts, Roster Analysis and Power rankings have slowly been getting worse.

Riley Reiff will be fine

what a joke, lol. These are crazy and you criticize every single team. Who are you? prolly werent even good at sports in school.

1 P.M. east coast games are a perk of having home field advantage. I feel bad for real fans that have to watch morning football, but if west coast teams want later games, all they need to do is seed higher than east coast teams.

Mark Dominik has literally explained every single thing you listed above. Saints 6? Must be your girlfriend...no freaking way they are that high. You sir, are a joke.
