2010 NFL Power Rankings: Playoffs
-
Green Bay Packers (12-6) - Previously: #2 - Can you imagine how good the Packers would be if they didn't have all of these injuries?
And can you imagine an NFL season without the announcement of the Punt, Pass and Kick winners? It's the most horrifying moment of the year. I posted my reaction to it in my recaps page:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Not the punt pass and kick winners AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OH GOD MAKE IT STOP MAAKEEEEEEEEEEEE ITTTTTTTTT STOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPP
I also tweeted (@walterfootball), "The worst part of the NFL season: The punt pass and kick winners. I'd rather be waterboarded than watch this crap."
It's true. Please, NFL. Set up the waterboarding machine in my house. I don't want to suffer through another Punt, Pass and Kick announcement ever again.
-
New England Patriots (14-3) - Previously: #1 - That 45-3 win over the Jets may have been the worst possible thing that could have happened to the Patriots. They showed no sense of urgency, and Tom Brady had a "I'm Tom f***ing Brady and these pathetic Jets don't stand a chance against me" look on his face the entire afternoon.
The lack of effort was uncharacteristic. So was the trash talking by Wes Welker, so I sat down with Welker yesterday for an interview:
ME: Hey Wes, thanks for joining me. Sorry about your loss to the Jets.
WELKER: "Well, the spread was barely 10. We didn't lose by 11, but we almost made a comeback. They barely won that game."
ME: But they did win the game. What did they do differently this time?
WELKER: "Barely anything. Last time it seemed like they barely had 10 players on the field. Now, it was definitely 11. I just can't bear to lose like this. I really thought we were going to see the Bears in the Super Bowl. Thought we'd barely beat them, maybe by 10 or 11 points."
ME: Was there any over-confidence? You beat them 45-3, after all.
WELKER: "Barely any overconfidence. On a scale of 10 to 11, with 10 being barely confident and 11 being as confident as a bear, we were barely somewhere in between 10 and 11."
ME: A scale between 10 and 11?
WELKER: "It was barely my teammates' fault. When the ball barely hits your bare hands 10 or 11 times per game, you have to bear down and make those 10 or 11 bare-handed catches."
ME: Why do you keep using variations of bear and bare, and repeating the numbers 10 and 11? Oh... wait, you're making fun of me aren't you?
WELKER: "I barely know what you're talking about. Let me have 10 or 11 seconds to think about it."
ME: I picked against the Bears. The spread was 10. They won by 11. You're making fun of me!
WELKER: "Barely."
ME: You f***er! I'm going to kick your a**!!!!
-
Pittsburgh Steelers (13-4) - Previously: #3 - Every Steelers-Ravens game is the same if Ben Roethlisberger is playing. Baltimore always has the lead. The officials help Pittsburgh take the lead and/or the Ravens screw up. Ben Roethlisberger makes a big play at the end to come away with the win.
Things looked really bleak for the Steelers in the first half, especially after that weird Ben Roethlisberger strip-six returned by Cory Redding. As this happened, forum member MMONTERO commented, "Roethlisberger just got raped. I'd call that karma."
-
Chicago Bears (12-5) - Previously: #6 - Jay Cutler was lucky to get away with numerous turnovers against the Seahawks, so don't expect Herm Edwards to bash him this week. If you missed it, Herm recently berated Cutler, comparing him to a waffle house waitress:
Cutler scares me because the other guy might come out lookin like hes workin at the waffle house and hes gonna serve up a couple interceptions.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa. I've been to many waffle houses in my life, and I've never seen "interceptions" on the menu. Damn it, Herm, I demand you tell me which waffle houses you go to.
-
New York Jets (13-5) - Previously: #7 - Did anyone see Eric Mangini on ESPN? How creepy did he look in front of the camera? And how does ESPN not see through his plan? Fortunately, I know what it is:
Step 1: Get a job on ESPN.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Score a hot date with Erin Andrews, with or without her permission.
-
Baltimore Ravens (13-5) - Previously: #4 - An e-mail from Brandt G. regarding CBS' announcing team during the Pittsburgh-Baltimore game:
How annoying was Dan Dierdorf? He agreed with every single outcome: "Ray Rice with the touchdown, boy is he the best in the NFL..." "Ben with the scramble downfield, boy is he the best in the NFL..." "The referee with defensive passing interference call, boy is he the best in the NFL.." "I love sucking every player and coach's peepee, cause I wanna be liked by the everyone in the NFL."
Sorry, Dan, the referee is not the best in the NFL. There were some shady calls made by official Jeff Triplette's crew. If you don't agree with me, know that Wikipedia is on my side as well (thanks to e-mailer Alex F. for this):
-
Atlanta Falcons (13-4) - Previously: #5 - Can we stop it with the "Matt Ryan is invincible at home" crap? He's only beaten three playoff teams in the Georgia Dome in his three seasons, and one of those squads just avenged its loss by the score of 48-21.
Let's go to Notes from NFL.com GameCenter - a list of a few stupid comments I read on NFL.com's GameCenter and my thoughts on them (the first from Jack R; second from Facebook friend Peter L.):
1. "were running up the score were playing football ur post too score tds"
In honor of Martin Luther King Jr., I have a dream that one day this man will know how to use apostrophes or commas. As for the difference between to and too? Hey, I said dream; not miracle.
2. "REX is 3-2 against Bellicheat as a head coach-which makes Rex the BETTER coach.Sanchez is 3-2 against Brady-which makes Sanchez the better QB!!!!!!!!!!!"
Colt McCoy is 1-0 against Brady and Drew Brees. Using GameCenter logic (oxymoron much?) McCoy is better than both Brady and Brees.
3. "reguardless Alex Is a GREAT Secondary I dont want him gone I just dont want him as a Starter. See when Alex is at the helm the team over-all seems to have Bad Luck happin at the worst posisble times. maybe im just to superstisous tho."
Does one of your superstitions involve spelling horribly and using terrible grammar?
-
Seattle Seahawks (8-10) - Previously: #11 - A number of e-mailers asked me if I could make Pete Carroll a Jerk of the Week for not going for two after one of his fourth-quarter touchdowns. Well, I already finished my Jerks of the Week entry, but I'm definitely making him an honorary jerk.
I've never understood why teams wait to go for two during a potential late comeback. Idiot announcers have defended this before by saying, "You should only go for two when you absolutely need to." No, idiots, you should go for two as soon as you can. In a situation like this, the Seahawks had to go for two eventually, right? So, if you can't get it now, what makes you think it'll be any easier later? And wouldn't it be better to know what you need to do if you can't convert the two-pointer?
Of course, Pete Carroll was probably too busy figuring out what his next cheer or cool tweet would be to think logically about this.

That rant was that of a frustrated fan who doesn't understand Football on the business side. Everyone saw what Colt McCoy could do against first teamers when he had protection, it is painfully obvious that the Browns' offensive line has regressed every week since the preseason started.
Another problem is that there is no offensive coordinator and Pat Shurmer is spreading himself too thin, he needs to hire someone and not burn himself out.
whoops...

"If you'll excuse me, I need to go to the store to buy some rope so I can hang myself."
I think Jerry Sandusky from your ala mater is saying the same thing right now.

You know Walt, I'm tired of your insensitive drunk-bashing. Joe Namath won a Superbowl and he wasn't sober a day in his LIFE.

So, the 49ers aren't higher because their last 2 wins weren't convincing enough, but the Ravens are #2 because their win over the Cardinals last week was so convincing...wait, no it wasn't. I guess losses to the Titans and Jags were better than 49ers wins by unconvincing margins vs Browns and Redskins. Maybe Baltimore should be higher because they have played a tougher strenght of schedule...oh wait, they haven't? Maybe their point differential over their opponents is better? No, not that either. So, pretty much this power rankings is like the ridiculous BCS where it doesn't matter how well you do, all that matters is your preseason rankings. Good thing the NFL has playoffs and doesn't rely on a ridiculous ranking system like this to decide who gets to play in the Super Bowl.

Am I the only one who thought that LeSean McCoy was down by contact short of the goalline on his TD?

"Look, I don't want to disrespect the 49ers because of their record, but their previous two wins against the Browns and Redskins haven't been too convincing. They let both crappy squads hang around."
Yet, you have them ranked #4?

I'd be worried about this but the way your picks have been this year we both know you can't afford it.

Walt, I am curious to know what your $125 league payout looks like? As well as how many teams are in the league and whether or not you agree with your league's payouts. My friends and I have been arguing lately over our leagues payout (although it has already been established and will not be changed). The payments for our 10 team league are: regular season 1st place: 50
1st playoffs: 300 2nd playoffs: 150 I demand your instant feedback. -Son of the Fantasy God BOBO-
hmmm...

A team with a losing record is in the top 10 on your Power Rankings?
Do I even need to say you're a complete joke at this point? Anyway if you want legit power rankings from REAL EXPERTS try nfl.com This guy clearly knows as much about football as Plaxico knows about gun safety.

The Eagles in 6th? Riiiiight.
Walt, I'm really surprised at you- you really are a homer under that veneer of analysis. |
