NFL Power Rankings Week 5

It's going to be one of those years where there doesn't appear to be a major front runner a few games into this young NFL season. Odd enough the only undefeated team left is KC and they still are just barely making into the top 10. But, there was a lot of shuffling this week! Now lets take a look at the NFL's top 10 and that lowly Worst-of-the-Worst bottom 5.

Top 10

1. Ravens (3-1) So, after 4 weeks the Ravens look like the best in the NFL, tough D and a high flying offense.

2. Saints (3-1) Can't really justify dropping them any further than 1-to-2. But, that game verses Carolina was UGLY! 

3. Bears (3-1) Dropped one spot because I think they left their OL in the locker room. Mike Tice is a terrible coach. Period. 

4. Steelers (3-1) One of the handful of undefeated that lost. But, they get Big Ben back during a Bye Week. Perfect timing. 

5. Texans (3-1) With the Colts at 2-2 this is starting to look like Houston has a shot to get into the post-season, maybe.

6. Packers (3-1) No Ryan Grant? No problem. With Aaron Rogers and maybe the best grouping of WR why wouldn't this team do well?

7. Patriots (3-1) After having terrible D/ST the last couple of weeks the Pats derailed, dismantled, and destroyed the Fins.  

8. Jets (3-1) They get jumped a spot because the Pats just looked so good. They get Calvin Pace and Santino Holmes back! 

9. Chiefs (3-0) They are going to face a angry Colts team this week...Have fun in the top 10 while you can KC! 

10. Falcons (3-1) They really shouldn't have won but thanks to the showboating antics of the win-less they are 3-1.


Bottom 5

5. Raiders (1-3) How do you fix this organization? Someone has to sneak up and scare Al Davis... you get the picture.


4. Panthers (0-4) Hey they almost won. At least the defense looked 'ok' verses a frantic Saints team.


3. Lions (0-4) This team wants to win. They have the pieces to get some W's but they are missing something. I don't know what.


2. 49ers (0-4) Mike Singletary is not making good on his promises and the 49ers can't finish in the 4th when it counts.


1. Bills (0-4) No comment...

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... ...
