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.

"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?

"If you'll excuse me, I need to go to the store to buy some rope so I can hang myself."
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.

This is a note to "Klunge" . Take a look at the Bears record - who they beat and who they lost to. Now look at their record this year and this time last year. Yes they were 4-3 and came off a bye and went on to win the division only to get knocked out by the Super bowl Champion Packers. They have pretty much the same team [ maybe even better ] than last year. The way the NFL has gone this year the only sure thing is the Packers. But what happens to them if Aaron Rodgers gets hurt ? I think it is either foolish/childish to write off any team with a winning record this early in the season. there is a lot of football to be played. After last year's Super Bowl [ won by a wild card team ], and the last 2 World Series - anything can happen .

"Chargers will move up after they blow out the Chiefs. the sudden resurgence of KC is fools gold. wins over the Colts, Minn, and oak are nothing to talk about. The Raider Qbs threw the picks right at them. no choice but to catch and return them. Anyone would have won that game easily. SD will get healthy on them just like last year when they held the Chiefs to 50 yds of offense in SD."
Your partly right, the Chiefs wins over Colts, Minn, Oak and SD are nothing to talk about. The Chargers are the worst team in the NFL. At least the Colts and Oakland lost their starting QBs, and Minn never had one. What's San Diego's excuse?

I have to question if you Walter on whether or not you are an Eagles or a Cowboys fan Because you hold one of them in high regards. Either you think the Cowboys (much like dez bryant) are unbeatable and so the (3-4 mind you) Eagles win makes them a top ten team. Or you are an Eagles fan and because they held the (highly overrated) Cowboy's to 7 you feel as though all the horrible losses they have had already meant nothing. I just don't see your logic. The Eagles O-line still can't protect Vick their safeties and linebackers still suck. The Cowboy's have only 3 good player's on defense and not one of them play in the secondary. And their O-line is equally bad. Romo is over-hyped and while the receiver's are talented they don't always play all out.
