    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.

    I hate the Eagles and I'm a big Tim Tebow fan but their spots should be switched here. There's no way Philly's worse than Minnesota, Tampa, Seattle, Buffalo, Denver, or Tennessee. Tebow can run an offense and helps the running game a ton but teams will figure him out unless he can start completing basic passes.

    this site should be shut down , because apparently you have no football knowledge, and obviously anyone can run a site if they follow the proper protocol (your a perfect example)

    Will the Schaub injury open the AFC South for the titans. Or can Leinart pick up the slack.

    Schaub being out will hurt the Texans, but not THAT much. Bucs fans can attest that their game has much more to do with Barian Fostate and their smothering D than whoever is taking snaps. I'd say give them a chance with Leinart starting before dropping them back to the middle of the pack- they do have the best record in the AFC after all.

    "By doing this, Smith sent a clear message to his defense that he didn't trust them."

    wouldn't it also send the message he did trust his offense?

    What the hell with the niners?!?!!The Niners have played a much tougher schedule than the steelers and patriots. Don't give me that bs that NY had nothing to play for - their division is much more competitive and every loss counts for something. The 49ers have nothing to play for as they already have a 5 game lead. And don't give me any crap that NY had to fly across country when the 49ers have won 4 games in the eastern time zone. The scores may not show it, but they have dominated a lot of their games. You must have a man crush for all teams on the east coast.

    I'd take the Bears over the Ravens and the Giants, maybe even the Pats.

    @ Ed Hardy:
    He did suck, but thanks to garbage time stats Stafford still managed 329yds/1TD to go along with his 4 picks. So he ended up with double-digit fantasy points which does not qualify for scrubdom.

    How is Matthew Stafford not a fantasy scrub?

    Matt Schaub is injured, and it's Matt Leinart time for the rest of the year in Houston. That's why the Texans are 15th.

    I'm hopeful that if the 49ers beat the Steelers in Week 15, you'll finally move them up from #4.

    I agree with most of these rankings. Nice job Walt. I would put the 49ers at #2 however. They could actually be 9-0 if they didn't crap the bed in the 4th quarter against Dallas. I also think they are the only team built to beat the Packers.

    Strangely enough, I think home-field advantage could hurt GB in the playoffs. Can you see their offense working in a January blizzard in Lambeau? I can see them struggling under those circumstances against a team like SF, or maybe even the NYG.

    Interesting, the Pats beat the worse of both NY-Teams and they are ahead of the Niners who beat the Giants?

    Really the Texans at fifteen? They keep winning in dominant fashion. The Giants choked when they were tested, lost to Seattle, and almost lost to the Fins. And the Cowboys have been awful until this week, now they jump all the way to ten for reminding the Bills that there head coach is Chan Gailey. The Jets and Lions are both going to have to lose 8 games before anyone will admit that they are overrated, come on show the Texans some love.
