2010 NFL Power Rankings: Playoffs
-
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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

Forget the fact that he's a Jaguars fan who goes to his team's games. I'm more shocked to know the Jags actually have fans, at all.

Just because the Cowboys have led through the 4th quarter every game makes them suck even more. They can't close the games out. Good teams finish in the second half of games.
The Eagles are garbage. They were over hyped from Vick having a year that not many teams seemed to be prepared for. Teams got some tape, saw he can't see a blitz coming and now they're done. They looked good in the last game? If one game means that much then the Chiefs are super bowl bound with the best defense in NFL history...riiight.

Just because they had so much hype going into the season, doesn't mean they were worth a crap. Carolina, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Atlanta and Tampa are all better than those two teams.

Ummm.... Mike? Cowboys and Eagles have 5 wins between them thank you very much. And honestly I don't think either team is really in the wrong place. Cowboys have been way inconsistant but they have led in the 4th quarter in every game they've lost and beat the rams pretty bad. As for the Eagles, even though they have sucked it up this year, they did look good in their last game and are way more talanted than the teams behind them.

Well the Jets have a pretty nice defense but their offense so far has not been impressive. But if you recall back to 4 years ago when Mark Sanchez was QB for USC, USC was in the top 20 in the football league. So recalling that I believe that the Jets will AT LEAST make the playoffs.

Okay I get it you got bored after going through your top 5 in the Power Rankings and started drawing teams out of a hat to fill the list. Either that or you know almost nothing about football.

@Foleyface
Destroying Cleveland? You mean when we had the ball on the your 40 yard line with a minute left down by seven? Yep, destroyed us. I know what it's like to have a crappy team and really start to believe that they are good. Your coach will be the death of the Raiders. McFadden doesn't get the ball nearly enough and when you're up by 14 with 4 minutes remaining inside your opponents 20 and it's 4th and 1 what do you think you should do? Well Hue Jackson thinks you should go for it. Instead of kicking the safe field goal and increasing it to a 3 possession game (which either way it would've been whether they score a TD or kick a FG) you now get stuffed and then give up a garbage touchdown. But then you give up an onside kick and if the Browns weren't completely inept on offense, we could've tied the game because your coach is a moron. Give the ball to your best players on offense, which happens to be McFadden and Janikowski.

Walt, do you rank these teams just to get peoples blood boiling or what. It's ok if thats the idea but come on. Cowboys and Eagles have 4 wins between them and they are just out of the top 10? You have to be some kind of nfc east homer.

Also- how is it that you rank the Cowboys #11 and the Eagles #13 here, but then call them both overrated over on your picks page? Isn't ranking them this high, well, OVERRATING THEM?

Hey Walt- love the "Trident Bastard" nickname for Phillip Rivers. I've got a few issues with the rankings. First off, how do the Saints stay at #3 after my Bucs won? 49ers, Lions, and (especially) Ravens are all better than them right now. Second: the Cowboys at #11?!?!? I know they've kept it close in their losses, but they're just not that good. Same with the Eagles at 13. Finally (and it pains me as a Bucs fan to come to their defense), I don't understand how you can have the Raiders down at #19.
