NFL Power Rankings Week 2

I am sick of every TV/blog talking about who should be panicking after Week 2. Still have 14 weeks left in the season... and we all know that KC and Tampa won't be undefeated come week 16. So, lets take a look at the NFL's top 10 and the lowly Worst-of-the-Worst Bottom 5...

Top 10

1. Saints (2-0) No reason for them to go anywhere but staying at #1. They are still defending SB champs and are playing like it.

2. Packers (2-0) My pick for the NFC representative in the SB AND MVP [Aaron Rogers] and MAYBE defensive MVP in Clay Matthews! 

3. Texans (2-0) Just a mass of offensive explosion and a stud WR that will play when he is in pain. Can you ask for more? 

4. Colts (1-1) Yes, they have a loss but it was to the high-flying Texans. And they laid the wood to Eli's G-Men.

5. Steelers (2-0) No QB! No problem! It will be interesting to see how they fair with Leftwich or Batch at the helm.


6. Dolphins (2-0) Whoa! Where did they come from? Chad Henne is playing like in his prime at Michigan and the D is fierce. 

7. Bears (1-1) Uh-Oh! Jay Cutler remembered how to play QB and Urlacher's and Brigg's D is getting it jive back. 


8. Chargers (1-1) Rookie Ryan Matthews is out. But, Tolbert and Sproles look solid as a 1-2 punch. 


9. Bengals (1-1) Their D held the Raven's passing attack down and snagged 4 picks off of Joe Flacco. 


10. Jets (1-1) They wouldn't be up in the Top 10 if they didn't trounce Brady and his Pats. 


Bottom 5

5. 49ers (0-2) They are GOOD but they constantly turn the ball over! If they get that squared away they should do some damage. 


4. Raiders (1-2) Who knows with this organization? Anyone? George Blanda? Plunket?


3. Browns (0-2) Almost got a win! Almost... but they are in a early tailspin.


2. Panthers (0-2) Time for Jimmy Clausen already?! Matt Moore got benched FAST! I am waiting for Tony Pike to go in around week 9.

1. Bills (0-2) Yes, they have a new coach... but no fluid QB, no ground game, no blocking. Only 247 passing yards in TWO games.

Even Tom Brady Would Give This Post a Hand *rim shot* Heyyooo

After the regular season ended there was a  head coaching apocalypse, Lions , Titans ,  Bears ,  Giants ,  Cardinals ,  Colts ,  Raiders . (And somehow NOT the Browns or Bengals ) Since then Chicago hired Matt Nagy, an Andy Reid follower, and Oakland hired Jon Gruden. In 2008 this would have been a splash hire but... he has been out of head coaching game for awhile. And, just yesterday the Titans hired the, now former, Texans defensive coordinator Mike Vrabel. Here is the quick DL on Vrabel. He was drafted by the Steelers , played for the Patriots for a long time and tallied up THREE Super Bowl wins, and then ended his career with KC . After his playing days he jumped right into coaching and now he is one of those rare player-coach... coaches. I hope the best for him. NOW, who is left? Well, it's not a head coaching position but, the Browns are looking a new OC and former GMen head coach, Ben McAdoo, is the leading candidate. That is a ROUGH drop on th...

NFL Playoffs Divisional Style! (BAL v. PIT)

AFC Divisional Round: Baltimore Ravens (12-4) v. Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4) Saturday 4:30pm, CBS A REAL wild card weekend last week! But, this round should be just as good! The Ravens and Steelers meet up for the THIRD time this NFL season, in which they split the series against each other (BAL W 17-14, PIT W 13-10.) Not at all close right? These two teams mirror each other with top 5 defenses, a solid playoff QB and a great ground game. So, your question is: "What will make the difference this year around?" Layover. Baltimore is coming off a major beat-down on KC while Pittsburgh sat on a BYE week playing only with themselves (tee-hee.)  Key Matchup (BAL TE) Todd Heap v. (PIT S) Troy Polamalu Every season these two well traveled veterans battle through all 16 games getting nicked and bruised but always make a big play when it matters. Todd Heap is 30 and was 'on his way out' a few seasons ago but has made quite a comeback in 2010. Heap snagged 599yds and 5...

Campus Zeros [Week 9]

Sorry to deprive you of Campus Zeros last week due to a combo of work, Halloween fever, and a laptop from 2005, FUMBLE! But, not this week! No players singled out this week! It was good old fashioned team effort that got them to the dignified Campus Zeros list this week. Who made the cut?  Campus Zeros 5. Miami Hurricanes Four-Passers Combo: QB Jacory Harris out, I mean way out, so out he actually maybe a permanent part of the turf at Scott Stadium. He left he game after tossing a pick. Who is next? Spencer Whipple, 22yds, and 2INT later... next! Freshman Stephen Morris, 2-touchdowns... but 2 picks as well. Even RB Graig Cooper got a chance to toss the rock, luckily no INT. All in all, 18/42 (42.9%), 269yds, 2TD, 5INT AGAINST THE VIRGINIA CAVALIERS! The Canes now unranked, 5-3, 3-2 in the ACC and Randy Shannon isn't looking like the redemption coach anymore.  4. Michigan State Rushing 'attack' : Spartans were trying to run the table to get into the BCS title game... ...
