    2010 NFL Power Rankings: Playoffs
    1. Green Bay Packers (13-6) - Previously: #1 - Now that the Packers have finally proven that they're better than the Bears, maybe I'll stop getting e-mails and comment board posts from crazed Chicago Bears fans that look like, "OMGZ LIEK YOUR GUNNA LOOK SOOO STUPID WEHN TEH BEARS BEAT TEH PACKRZ AND GO TO THE SUPRE BOWEL!!! BEAR DOWNNNN!!!!"

      I lost two units on Chicago +3.5, but reading the changes to Mike Martz's Wikipedia page was almost worth it. Here are two of the best ones I found:





    2. Pittsburgh Steelers (14-4) - Previously: #3 - I'll never understand how the Steelers led 24-0 at one point. They hadn't dominated a playoff team like that all year.

      I wasn't the only one who was frustrated about this. Forum member RoflDogs posted something he found in his Facebook news feed:

      IF THEY SHOW ONE MORE UGLY STEELERS FAN WAVING THOSE ANNOYING TOWELS I WILL THROW MY TV DOWN THE STAIRS! THEY ALL LOOK LIKE THEY R HAVING SEIZURES OR ARE MENTALLY ILL!

      I guess we shouldn't show that person this picture (thanks to Paddy Patriot for this):



      No word yet if this Steelers fan survived the seizure. If I hear any news, you'll be the first to know.

    3. New York Jets (13-6) - Previously: #5 - I've lost a combined 12.1 units in the past two weeks on teams that lost the spread by one point each. FML.

      I'm frustrated, so 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:

      1. "aron rodgers is overated with the packers rodgers has 1 playoff win but packer fans think thell be in the superbowl pftt lol there not evenin the playoff picture"

      This fail of a sentence was composed back in Week 14, and I've been saving it for this occasion. Could this be the worst sentence ever written in the history of the English language? There are spelling, grammatical and factual errors. I'd say Emmitt wrote this, but I don't see the word "debacled" anywhere.

      2. "is there any chance dat da 'skins could get tom brady??? maybe give all their picks like dey did b4...."

      Yeah, I'm sure this is Bill Belichick's grand-master plan. I bet he's sitting in his office thinking: "Tom Brady is dating way too many supermodels. Maybe I can trade him to the Redskins for all of their picks even though they don't have a third- or a fourth-rounder. With the No. 10 pick I'll be able to take Cam Newton! Yay!"

      3. "idk u guys just out played us but that game on monday was for soul posession of the AFC East "

      Wow, the stakes in the NFL just got a lot higher. Now teams are playing for soul possession.

    4. Chicago Bears (12-6) - Previously: #4 - I've never ranked the Bears very high because I didn't trust Jay Cutler and Mike Martz.

      Martz screwed up on the final drive, and we all now know how much of a pansy Cutler is. The question though is what Cutler and Brian Urlacher talked about on the sidelines when Urlacher yelled at his quarterback. So, I invited both over for an interview:

      ME: Brian, Jay, I want to thank you for sitting down with me after such a tough loss.

      URLACHER: "Well, you're paying me to sit down with this f***ing p***y, right!?"

      CUTLER: "Ehhh don't call me that, Brian!!!"

      ME: Umm... I'm not paying you, Brian.

      URLACHER: "What!? You're telling me I could be on a tropical beach somewhere, but I'm talking to you and this a**hole instead?"

      ME: Yeah, sorry I didn't make that clearer.

      URLACHER: "Whatever. I want to talk s*** about this douche bag in front of his face anyway."

      CUTLER: "But Brian!!! I had sand in my vagina and I couldn't play!!!"

      ME: Wait, what? Vagina?

      CUTLER: "I have a vagina and sometimes when sand gets inside it really agitates me wahhhh!!!"

      URLACHER: "See what I have to work with, Walt?"

      ME: Yeah, I do. Hey, Caleb Hanie, what are you doing here?

      HANIE: "Guys, I am awesome. Wait, hold on, Mike Martz is telling me that before I can answer any questions, I have to run around in a circle 20 times and do 50 jumping jacks."

      CUTLER: "Caleb, I want to give you some advice. When in doubt, throw it as hard as you can downfield. You don't have a John Elway arm like I do, but you should be OK just as long as you don't get sand in your no-no special place. To prevent this, I recommend using..."

      ME: Whoa there. TMI. Brian, I feel sorry for you. You're now excused to go to the beach.

    The fact that Walt says that the Giants didnt really need to beat the 49ers says all you need to know about his football knowledge. Unless the 49ers implode, that game gives them a bye and 2nd place in the home field advantage race. Only a clueless fool would say that loss to the 49ers didnt really matter.

    I have gone through about 100 links and this is the only website that has the 49ers ranked lower than 2. Perhaps Walt and his Senior Editor will find the time to post something real about the reasons for ranking the 49ers where they do. That would be a refreshing change. Explain why the 49ers are 2 games ahead of every team in the NFL except GB and are still ranked at 4.

    Maybe Walt is the only Power Ranker who is not drinking the 49ers koolaid. Maybe Walt is the only one foolish enough (maybe its hate) not to notice the 49ers are playing good ball. Honestly, I do not care. It is the childish comments and lack of real analysis on the 49ers that show me he is a joke of a power ranker.

    This team is hard for me to place for obvious reasons. I think they got a great defense though, they play good special teams and don't turn the ball over.

    They remind me of the 2007 Bears, although Smith is better than Grossman by virtue of not being Rex Grossman. I could honestly see them winning a game in the playoffs and giving the Packers some trouble.

    Texans will win the division. Without Scahub, it's hard to say they'll make a deep run.. With foster they don't have to throw much anyway

    only based on total yards allowed, which is a completely retarded stat to be the basis of ranking defenses.

    Dear Joey,

    Firstly, I'm sorry to hear your a dolphins fan. I feel your pain. Anywho, Walter may have the 49ers as 2nd in the NFC and 4th overall, but I believe it's only because he has to and that is purely a reflection of their record and not how they play football. I've been reading these power rankings all season and I've yet to see him put a positive comment about the niners. I firmly believe that even in the perfect universe where they finish 15-1 this website and other media outlets would say things like "Alex smith, weak schedule, gonna lose in playoffs, blah blah blah." Even if no one respects me for being a super fan and a whiner, we 49ers fans have earned it after 10 long terrible seasons at the bottom of the barrel.

    49ers > the rest of the NFL

    You have to be pretty retarded to think the Texans have the best defense in the league, especially without Mario.

    How can you take these power rankings seriously when the top seeded AFC team is not in the top 10?!?!

    Regardless of whether Schaub is injured or not, they have the leagues best defence, 2 RBs in the top 10 for rushing yards, arguably the leagues most complete WR coming back from injury and one of the best O-lines in the league.

    All Leinart has to do is control the remaining games and not try and win them himself, nothing else has changed.

    Am I missing something?
