NFL Power Rankings Week 3

Well, I go to see the Buccaneers go 2-0, then get steamrolled by the Steelers. 2-14 AHOY! But, the Top 10 and 5 worst really haven't shifted that much, other than a few scrambles here and there. And of course who didn't have KC starting off 3-0? Now let's take a look at the NFL's Top 10and that lowly Worst-of-the-Worst bottom 5.

Top 10

1. Saints (2-1) I am not going to eject them from #1 after a good game with NFC South rival Atlanta. Still Super Bowl Champs.

2. Bears (3-0) WHOA! Jump from 7-to-2 but it's hard to keep them down when they are undefeated and Jay Cutler is looking solid.


3. Steelers (3-0) They made all the Bucs' walk the plank in an old fashioned Steelers way, DEFENSE!


4. Colts (2-1) Didn't move up, didn't move down. Which Peyton Manning this team is always a top 5 pick.


5. Packers (2-1) Slight fall from grace at #2 but they killed themselves with penalties in their MNF loss to the Bears.


6. Texans (2-1) The Cowboys needed a win and the Texans just weren't ready. They better hope Andre Johnson gets better fast.


7. Jets (2-1) Big time division win over a big time opponent. Mark Sanchez was outstanding with 256yds and 3TD.


8. Bengals (2-1) It was ugly but it was raining and the Panthers are just SO bad, it's almost hard to play them.


9. Dolphins (2-1) Well no Revis Island in this game but the Jets secondary and front 7 contained the Fins' offense.


10. Chiefs (3-0) I feel like I am dreaming. KC is looking good. Matt Cassel played like his contract's worth [finally.] 


Bottom 5
 
5. Jaguars (1-2) They better start winning and fast or they are going to become the next L.A. franchise.


4. Browns (0-3) Can you name anyone on that Browns' defense? Anyone?


3. Panthers (0-3) John Fox better get a miracle before he is run out of Charlotte.


2. 49ers (0-3) They fired their OC but will that be enough to score more than 12.6 points per game.


1. Bills (0-3) Trent Edwards is out of town. Chan Gailey is in over his head. The only spark is C.J. Spiller.

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... ...
