    2011 Playoff NFL Power Rankings
    Follow @walterfootball for updates.
    1. New York Giants (12-7) - Previously: #1 - Forum member Migelini, the dumbest person alive, was a bit of a disappointment today. All he had to say was this:

      i theink 49s gong to supergame. what all you theinks.

      Speaking of those challenged by the English language, I thought this was absolutely hilarious - check out Ed Hochuli's 57-second explanation of the new NFL overtime rules in verse.

    2. New England Patriots (15-3) - Previously: #2 - Three random things:

      1. Who the hell did Shannon Sharpe pick in the Patriots-Ravens game? I was watching CBS prior to kickoff, and each analyst offered their selection, as usual. When it was Sharpe's turn, he said:

      uewghw bov 8ew akbfuobknboriskl sdkjbei ho ebei Jacksonville regherg o lnvo dsu ou HVuh iurbhn BREOOW Jaguars wroighrwiog rwoier wg elr ebhtbi nel.

      Am I nuts, or did he pick the Jaguars to win that game?

      2. Speaking of CBS' pre-game show, I couldn't believe they had James Brown talk to the e-Trade baby. What sellouts. It's amazing what these networks will do for money so their CEOs can buy that eighth mansion or 15th yacht that they need so desperately.

      I have an account with e-Trade, and I'm really considering transferring my funds to another online broker because of that bit. That was disgusting.

      3. On a lighter note, I got this text from Awesome Kelly in Arizona on Thursday night:

      I am confident the Ravens will win Sunday. They saved themselves for that game. I even bet a Pats fan a night of drinking and didn't take the points because points are for sissies. Quote me on that.

      Why do I get the feeling that Awesome Kelly in Arizona will be vandalizing Billy Cundiff's house sometime in the near future?



    3. San Francisco 49ers (14-4) - Previously: #5 - Poor Kyle Williams. I hope Niner fans aren't too harsh on him because he was just filling in for someone. It'd be like blaming a substitute teacher for the class failing a state-wide exam. That would be silly - even if the substitute teacher spilled coffee on the Scantrons, or something.

      Anyway, 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. "bardy is my cusin.... no joke.... he teachd me hwo ta trow da ball.....LOLZ JUS KIDDDDDDDDINNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!! LOLZ!"

      Wow, and here I thought this guy was serious about having a cousin named Bardy.

      2. "spekin of fake fans we all know hawkballz is really a 49er fan. duanebrew 2 b exact. oh an who uses the word puddlez? is that supposed to b sly? u jus sound like a ho mer amigo. thats all"

      This is true. Anyone who has used the word "puddlez" throughout the course of history has been sly. Don't believe me? Richard Nixon used the word "puddlez" five times during Watergate. Fact.

      3. "patriot fans are all white new englanders. their inherrited $ fuels their greed which makes them do evil things like racism. (trust me i lived in new hampshire for 2 years) which actually makes THEM and their fans DUMB AS ROCKS. I hope to see the Giants repeat against brady-bunch. btw i also lived in pittsburgh pa and it is WAY better then new england (people in new hampshire used to ask me what black people are like and stuff they ARE racist.)"

      I disagree with only one point. Racism is not evil. Racism makes rich people feel better about themselves, so therefore racism is a good thing.

    4. Baltimore Ravens (13-5) - Previously: #6 - When Billy Cunwhiffed from 32 yards, I immediately went to his Wikipedia page. I was expecting some epic changes to his page, given that people wrote the following on Nate Kaeding's wiki a couple of years ago:

      Nate Kaeding has been labled the biggest Pedophile, choke artist, catamite, p***s licking p***y in the history of football.

      And...

      Kaeding has also been known to wear womens lingerie before important games to help him focus on missing critical chip shots. Nate Kaeding is also Norv Turner's lifemate.

      There wasn't anything that legendary, but the following four changes were made:

      4. Billy losses afc championship for ravens, wide left. This proves he freaking sucks. Pats to the Superbowl!

      3. On January 22, 2012, Cundiff missed a relatively easy 35-yard field goal against the New England Patriots, causing his team to lose the game and an opportunity at the Superb Owl.

      2. Ray Finkle (born March 30, 1980 in Valley Center, California) is an American football placekicker for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League.

      1. On January 22, 2012, Cundiff missed a 35-yard field goal against the New England Patriots, which sealed a Super Bowl XLVI berth for the Patriots.What an a**hole

    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?

    Hey mschuhe3,

    How is Walter showing the 49ers no love? He has them as the second best team in the NFC, which is legitimate because no one can honestly put them above the Packers who have been unstoppable. The assumption that the top two AFC teams are better than the 49ers is legitimate as well, as the Patriots and Steelers have players with more postseason experience.

    In summary, quit whining and trying to prove how awesome you are because your team is having a great year, but no one respects you. If anyone should whine it's me, as my Dolphins start out 0-7, only to start meaninglessly winning a few games to screw themselves out of landing Andrew Luck and in all likelihood dooming themselves to at least a few more seasons of mediocrity. DO you hear me whining? Maybe a little

    The Giants have a one game lead in their division but "didn't really need to beat the 49ers."

    Sounds like some Emmit Smith or Matt Milen logic if you ask me

    Houston at 7-3 still deserves to be in the Top 10. They are the #1 seed in the AFC is the season ended today.

    Losing Schaub is a blow, but they have a 2 stellar RB's, not to mention
    Andre Johnson coming back, and a stellar D.
