    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.

    So the 9ers winning some down games is < Baltimore losing the down games. Not to mention Pittsburgh barely beating the worst team in football by 3 points. Maybe Walt should just stick to pointing out the comments he finds across nfl.com and ESPN because he obviously isn't watching football

    B, I just enjoy how for Baltimore, losing to the Jaguars and then needing to come back from a massive deficit to defeat the Cardinals is better than solidly outperforming the Browns and Redskins and never being close to losing.

    Creative logic.

    The reason the Niners are not number 2 is because they were not good last year.. That is the reasoning for Walt ranking them number 4 and for anyone else who thinks they arent good. While the niners were 5-1 they had beaten the teams with the most wins in the league. They cant help it if they get scheduled to play against the browns and redskins.

    Born and bred Philadelphian you are indeed, Walt. How many losses will it take before you start ranking the perpetually underperforming Eagles lower? Every time that the Eagles manage a win, you join with every media prognosticator in rocketing the Eagles up the charts above their record, proclaiming that they've finally gotten it together. Then they lose again and they drop a spot or two- perhaps.

    For God's sake, man- I'm a Bucs fan. I know what it is to love a team that constantly trips over itself and destroys your hopes. I know what it is to blind yourself to their faults. Think for a moment how much talent that Eagles squad of yours has, and reflect for a moment on how hideously incompetent my own squad has often appeared this year. Then reflect on the fact that despite all of that talent, the Eagles are 3-5, while the Bucs, the youngest team in the NFL who have played awful football for a great portion of the year, are 4-4.

    The Eagles- despite the talent on their roster, despite their potential, despite your love for them, despite the rationale that surely soon they must deliver- are overrated. They aren't going to turn it around. The first step is acceptance.

    Cardinals still behind the Rams, huh? I guess that thing called "PLAYING THE GAME" doesn't mean anything anymore, does it? Might as well give the Eagles the Super Bowl then, since they've got the most talent on paper

    The 49ers are good, and they'll obviously make the playoffs, but they're not a legitimate Super Bowl threat.

    Alex Smith will still get raped by quality defenses, not to mention their only victories over +.500 teams this year were against the actually-not-that-good Lions and the not-as-good-as-their-record Bengals.

    SF has a great defense, a solid O-Line, Frank Gore, and most importantly, a coach with a new playbook. They were also unbelievable against the Bucs. But they're not the #2 team in the league, nor will they be for the foreseeable future.

    Confused is all butt hurt down there because the 49ers are ranked 4th. Who have they played? There quaterback hasn't once proven himself and there only offensive threat is Frank Gore. But hey, We will see on Thanksgiving who truly deserves that #2 spot.

    Walt's jokes that are not funny anymore ... Matt Millen, Derek Anderson, Kevin Reiley, the fantasy draft thing (never was funny), and the spam email thing.

    Walt's jokes that are always funny: Emmitt Smith, making fun of inept announcers.

    Walter, I'm just saying, there are so many untapped NFL personalities to make fun of. How about Gruden, Ditka, Chris Carter ... the list goes on and on. I like the Chris Simms bit. Just try not to overdo it and use it every single day. Your Millen joke is seriously so old and overdone I can barely even stand this site anymore.

    Blake Griffin, the overrated Clippers forward/rookie of the year somehow? Or are we talking about Robert Griffin? The shockingly talented grad student that'll skip NFL for law school more than likely. Because there's no way he can do both.

    There are four people to blame for the Browns mess.

    1. Mike Holmgren--Apparently instead of hiring the best candidate he had to hire the best candidate that had ties to him. You realize that we only interviewed three! people for this job? Perry Fewell was the token minority candidate and Mike Mularkey turned the Browns down after interviewing. Plus they fired Mangini who wasn't liked in Cleveland but you gotta admit that his teams were disciplined and prepared. I think he needed another year to turn this around.

    2. Tom Heckert--For all of the above plus trading up for Hardesty.

    3. Pat Shurmur--Really? How can the Browns hire every emotionless head coach with completely different front offices every time a change is made? He sucked as an OC for the Rams last year as Sam Bradford led the league in YPC. Now he doesn't even have an OC and is sucking at two jobs. We ran on 11 straight first downs on Sunday. How could anyone be that stupid when your starting running back is Chris Ogwhatever. Not looking for trick plays but we should be catering to the strengths of the players on the team instead of pounding the square peg into the round hole with our playbook that doesn't suit; the offensive line, the quarterback, the receivers, and the running backs.

    4. Colt McCoy--He can't handle the blitz. Look what Alex Smith is doing at the blitz this year. If you burn a team when they blitz, guess what happens? They stop blitzing. If you keep getting knocked around making wayward passes when the defense blitz guess what happens? They blitz on every play. He doesn't check down to a pass when there is 10 people in the box! Now maybe that isn't his fault as maybe he isn't allowed. But don't you think maybe it's time to challenge some authority when you eat dirt on every play?

    Holmgren is a hell of a coach but he was a god awful GM/Front Office Personnel Evaluator in Seattle who had the role taken away from him. Why in God's name did they give him all this power?

    Niner hater!

    the 49ers were up 19-3 with 4 minutes to go and let the Skins get a garbage TD. 19-3 in a game with two good defenses is a blowout. Think before you write

    Against the Browns, we were up 17-3 with 6 minutes to go when Cribbs got a garbage TD. Again, think before you write.

    I tried understanding why the kielbasa comment was so funny and I finally realized it was because you never hear of anyone eating kielbasa any more. It's always used in conversation when someone is shoving it up someone's nether regions. This is not a good thing if your livelihood is impacted by kielbasa sales.
