What is going on? I really shouldnt be suprised, this second half of the season slump is something that has happened time and time again. I am a a Broncos fan to the bone, but I must admit that I am afraid for them on sunday. With Kyle Orton potentially out or at best playing hurt, I cannot see how we are going to move the ball on a much improved San Diego defense. What do you guys think? I am thinking San Diego comes in and our Defense will put up a good fight but the inability to move the ball on long scoring drives will catch up to them and we will be blown out in the fourth quarter.</p> true 2009-11-19T20:34:14Z 99517 0 What is going on with the Broncos 2009-11-19T20:34:14Z http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/quintero2009/blog/posts/99517 2009-10-31T04:59:16Z Just Another Fan Profile Blog 1400697 quintero2009's Blog 2009-10-31T04:59:16Z 8536795 http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/quintero2009/blog quintero2009 http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/quintero2009 1148694 <p>The Cowboys are 6 and 2 and have climbed their way back on top of the NFC East.&nbsp; After a heartwrenching loss to the NY Giants and Denver Broncos the 2009 Cowboys have steadily gained momentum and won four games straight.&nbsp; Who would have guess Tony Romo and his new target Miles Austin would become the talk of the league and the reason behind the Cowboys being number #1 in the East.&nbsp; Time well tell if the Cowboys and their sudden resurgence will be enough to win a playoff berth and perhaps a first round playoff win.&nbsp; Tony Romo extended his remarkable November winning performance to 13 consecutive games.&nbsp; The secondary looks to be holding their own thanks to Terrance Newman, Mike Jenkins and Gerald Sensabaugh.&nbsp;&nbsp; With the NFC East sudden implosion (NY Giants 4 game losing streak and the&nbsp;Redskin's horrible&nbsp;performances all season) beating the Eagles 20 to 16 definitely was a huge step in the Cowboys proving that they are&nbsp;the team to beat in the East.&nbsp; So, how bout Dem Cowboys!</p> true 2009-11-09T15:46:28Z 98170 0 2009 Cowboy 2009-11-09T19:36:11Z http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/trelinium/blog/posts/98170 2008-12-29T22:30:22Z My take on the sports community 1148694 Trelinium's Blog 2009-11-09T15:54:13Z 4841440 http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/trelinium/blog trelinium http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/trelinium 529340 <p>I went 9-4 last week and am now 81-35 so far.

The offensive line is pretty bad although Eric Wood, Andy Levitre, and Demitrius Bell have some potential. You would think that T.O. , Lee Evans, Fred Jackson, and Marshawn Lynch that the Bills would have a great offense, unfortunately Dick Jauron is sleeping on the sidelines. Jairus Byrd should be the rookie of the year, he is the next Ed Reed/Darren Sharper (hopefully).</p> <p>4. New York Jets&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; C+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4-4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 6-10 - 8-8</p> <p>&nbsp; The Jets to me are a huge question mark. They usually have a pretty good D but Mark Sanchez is playing like a rookie lately. I thought after the first 3 weeks that tehy would be great. I'll go back to my original prediction that they will finish in the cellar.</p> <p>AFC North</p> <p>1.Pittsburgh Steelers&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5-2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 11-5 - 14-2</p> <p>&nbsp; The Steelers could very well find themselves in the Super Bowl agin this year. Rashard Mendenhall is showing why he was a 1st round pick last year.</p> <p>2. Baltimore Ravens&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; B+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4-3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9-7- 11-5</p> <p>&nbsp; Joe Flacco and Ray Rice are playing very good this year and their defense is still an elite unit but the Bengals could very easily give them a run for their money.</p> <p>3. Cincinnati Bengals&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; B &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 5-2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8-8 - 11-5</p> <p>&nbsp; Carson Palmer is definitely back 100% , the defense is getting better, Cedric Benson is finally living up to his potential, but in the long run the Ravens and Steelers are simply better teams.</p> <p>4. Cleveland Browns&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; D- &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1-7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1-15- 4-12</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The Browns could be the worst team in football. The main reason is that they have no QB. Brady Quinn should be starting even though he's not much better than Derek Anderson.</p> <p>AFC South&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>1.

Peyton Manning is having a great season (even for him) and their defense looks very good.</p> <p>2. Houston Texans&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; B &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5-3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8-8 - 11-5</p> <p>&nbsp; The Texans are a very good team, they have an excellent QB in Matt Schaub and probably the 2nd best WR with Andre Johnson. Steve Slaton needs to hang on to the football, Ryan Moats ran all over the Bills on sunday but Slaton is too valuable a weapon to keep on the bench, and he's killing my fantasy team...</p> <p>3. Jacksonville Jaguars&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; C- &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3-4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5-11 - 8-8</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Mo Jo Drew is one of the best RB's in the league but even he can't carry a team by himself. I think the Jags have found someone special in Mike Sims-Walker.</p> <p>4. Tennesee Titans&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; D+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1-6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4-12 - 7-9</p> <p>&nbsp; The Titans are not the team from a year ago. Their pass defense is horrific Corland Finnegan is good but he hasn't been healthy lately and Nick Harper is just old. Kerry Collins is not a player I'd want at QB (even with the Bills QB situation). Vince Young is far from polished but he is a much better option for now and the future.</p> <p>AFC West</p> <p>1. Denver Broncos&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; B+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 6-1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9-7 - 12-4</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; If you would've told me at the beginning of the season Josh McDaniels would have a winning record after trading Jay Cutler, I would have said that you're a complete idiot. Suprise, suprise.</p> <p>2.&nbsp; San Diego Chargers&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; B-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4-3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 7-9&nbsp; -10-6</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Sadly L.T. is done, he will never be the same. The Chargers might still contend but every year people say this is the Chargers year. Their window of time is closing.</p> <p>3.&nbsp; Oakland Raiders&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; D&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2-6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3-13 - 5-11</p> <p>&nbsp; Jamarcus Russell is still young but man is he bad.

It&rsquo;s the first meeting of the season for these two NFC South rivals who split the series in 2008 with the home side winning each contest straight-up and against the spread.<br /><br />The undefeated Saints (6-0) are one of only two remaining team in the league with a perfect record after the Denver Broncos lost on Sunday in Baltimore (Indianapolis (7-0) is also perfect after an 18-14 win vs. San Francisco). You can check all of Sunday&rsquo;s scores and recaps at ESPN.com<br /><br />For the sports betting community, if you are looking at betting on an undefeated team this late in the season, it means you&rsquo;re going to be laying points, probably a lot of them. That is the case in this matchup, as the online sportsbooks pegged the Saints as double-digit favourites. <br /><br />The Saints have been attracting a lot of the betting action throughout the week, as the line has moved all the way up to -12. Online sportsbook reported 78% of all the betting volume on the Monday nighter had come in on New Orleans as of late Sunday night. <br /><br />NFL Trends: Road favorites in Week 7 were 7-0 SU/ATS including the Patriots at Tampa Bay, even though it was neutral site game, and it wasn&rsquo;t by small margins that the chalk teams were winning or covering, either. San Diego, Indianapolis, Green Bay and the New York Jets won by a combined margin of 132 points &ndash; that&rsquo;s 30.5 points per game!<br /><br />Results this Sunday (Week 8) by big home favorites like the Colts and Chargers, who both won straight-up but failed to cover the big spreads, did little to sway bettors away from New Orleans and it could have something to do with the Saints performance last week in Miami.<br /><br />Trailing 24-3, the Saints offense went to work while the defense stymied the Wildcat and New Orleans made a statement. Starting with a QB Drew Brees rushing TD in the final seconds of the first-half, New Orleans went on a 43-3 run lasting 28 minutes to cement the win and become the first NFL team in history to score 45-plus points in four of their first six games.<br /><br />Atlanta was in Dallas last week and learned what an explosive offense can do when the Cowboys put up 37 points &ndash; the most points the Falcons have allowed in the Mike Smith-Matt Ryan era. Recent success, or lack thereof, by double-digit favorites on Monday Night has done little to sway the tide of bettors from New Orleans, but since Week 6, 2006 there have been 10 double-digit favorites and they are just 2-8 ATS.<br /><br />This is the seventh divisional <a href="http://www.sportsbetting.com/sportsbook/nfl-football-betting/"><strong>Monday Night game of the 2009 season</strong></a> and favorites through the first six games are 4-2 SU but only 2-4 ATS. All six games have gone "Over" the posted total and in fact the only Monday Night game this season that did not land on the high side was Carolina at Dallas in Week 3.<br /><br />The posted total for Atlanta-New Orleans is one of the highest bettors will see in the NFL but if the Saints keep scoring the way they have been, it could be a sign of things to come.<br /><br />NFL Picks: Looking at the matchup, I&rsquo;m going to be taking the big points and hoping the Falcons can keep this one close. Good luck with your bets on the big game.</p> true 2009-11-03T11:31:26Z 97795 0 Monday Night Football Picks: Falcons Vs Saints 2009-11-03T11:31:26Z http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/jockson4u/blog/posts/97795 2009-05-22T08:36:42Z 1235200 jockson4u's Blog 2009-05-22T08:36:42Z 7180331 http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/jockson4u/blog jockson4u http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/jockson4u 529340 Rank Team Record LWR 1.

I am tired of hearing how the Denver Broncos are still an "unproven" team. We have proven our defensive strength against quality opponents, and still we get no respect. This Sunday agains the 3-3 Baltimore Ravens, we are 3.5 point underdogs. I'm okay with that and understand being underdogs going out east to play a team that does very well at home. But, there offense to me has not proven much at all, and their defense is very suspect to the pass. Ed Reed is an excellent player and Ray Lewis is of course still a very stong presence over the middle. I see the Broncos clamping down on Ray Rice, and forcing Flacco to throw so very pressured passes. My prediction is 31-13, the Broncos make a strong statement, but much like in the past few weeks, the heavily east coast baised media will find a way to down play them. true 2009-10-31T05:05:22Z 97659 0 Denver Broncos Over the Baltimore Ravens 2009-10-31T05:05:22Z http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/quintero2009/blog/posts/97659 2009-10-31T04:59:16Z Just Another Fan Profile Blog 1400697 quintero2009's Blog 2009-10-31T04:59:16Z 8536795 http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/quintero2009/blog quintero2009 http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/quintero2009 1384250 <p>Here We Go...

Bad Coaching, Bad Front Office or Both. The Skins are a disgrace. Jeff Fisher has lost his team. Everyone knows Al Davis is actually the grim reaper. Todd Haley has nothing to work with. Ditto for Mangini (although he blew in New York). The Lions are still trying to recover from the Millen Era. Raheem Morris is probably in over his head. The Rams have been terrible since the jettisoned Warner for Bulger. Why does the NFL repeat it's own mistakes year after year? Incompetent coaching, coupled with an incompetent front office can lead to disaster. Put both together (as in KC's case) and you have a team that is dysfunctional and faces blackouts. Those teams in that third tier are dangerously close to falling int the bottom half of the league, or with a few good moves are legit. Atlanta is my top choice to make the next step. Love the Cards, Ravens and Jets as well. The teams most likely to fall? Houston, because they can't stop any body, Dallas because Wade Phillips is only the coach because I think the NFL wont let Jerry Jones do it, and my beloved Packers. Mike McCarthy is a horrible coach. Ted Thompson, while having done an admirable job with the draft for the most part, refuses to sign veterans, and has some nasty picks (Justin Harrell for one) against him. That team is dangerously close to being back to 4 and 12, and if the O line doesnt do a better job against the rush, Rodgers wont get off the turf, and this season will be lost.</p> true 2009-10-29T03:03:03Z 97506 1 When Will The NFL Learn? 2009-10-29T21:26:36Z http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/corvetteking67/blog/posts/97506 2009-01-23T13:41:51Z Looking back on the reign of Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy, I see a lot of disappointments. I am not talking about Brett Favre, because lets be honest, it was a move for the future. But I am talking about the mediocrity that faces the Packers right now. The key to winning any football game is the line of scrimage. The Packers are terrible on both sides of the ball. Clearly thier o-line stinks. The d-line is not much better. I have listened to Milwaukee sports radio the last few days, and there are still the Rodgers hater/ Favre lovers who think it is Aaron Rodgers fault for the recent failures. But when you lose the battle at the line, there are not much hope for success. I think if you put Rodgers behind the Vikings o-line, they are just as good if not better. All of this is a result of poor drafting and failure to retain or go after talent in the free agent market. That falls squarely on Teddy T. The lack of discipline (penalties come to mind) and poor evaluation of talent on the field falls on Mike McCarthy. When you have two massive failures like this, losing is the only option. One missed point by all of this is the terrible special teams play of the Packers. Back to back weeks, terrible kick off coverage has put the Defense in terrible position. Not to mention Johnny Jolly's headbutt which gave the Vikings 4 more downs to hit pay dirt (and completely changed the game), you end up having a two game losing streak. I never liked Mike McCarthy. I thought his hiring was terrible, and that the 13-3 year was a fluke. I did believe in Ted Thompson, especially after his success in Seattle. Now, I think the only hope is to can them both and move on. The names Holmgren, Dungy and Cowher are out there. What about Mariucci, who had nothing but losing hands when he coached in San Francisco and Detroit. As a Packer fan, I guessed anywhere from 6-10 to 10-6 this year. Right now, if I could have 7-9, I would take it. 1168515 Packer Failure 2009-11-11T18:46:43Z 4367511 http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/corvetteking67/blog corvetteking67 http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/corvetteking67 1380724 <p>1. New Orleans Saints (6-0) LW: 1 A big win over Miami after trailing 24-3. Drew Brees had some interceptions but in the 2nd half he looked strong, and the running game stepped it up and got them the win. Yeah the Wildcat struck the Saints defense but overall New Orleans is a great team.</p> <p>&nbsp;2. Indianapolis Colts (6-0) LW: 2 Ok they played the Rams, but Peyton had an excellent day and the Colts can still beat good teams. The defense only allowed 6 points against a St. Louis team that has Steven Jackson who rushed for over a 100 yards, Sunday, The Colts stay at #2.</p> <p>3. Denver Broncos (6-0) LW: 4 Denver has a bye but they have a tough match up against Baltimore (3-3) who have had a very tough schedule. Knowshon Moreno and Kyle Orton have played well and the defense has played very very well</p> <p>&nbsp;4. Minnesota Vikings (6-1) LW: 3 The Vikings stay in the Top 5 even with their first loss. They played a tough Steeler D and made some costly mistakes but I think they are still a Top 5 team.</p> <p>5. New England Patriots (4-2) LW: 6 The Pats enter the top 5 due to their bye week and the Giants loss. Tom Brady seems like himself and the D is young but they have played good. With Sammy Morris out the running game is off but they should still be fine.</p> <p>&nbsp;6. Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2) LW: 10 They did defeat Minnesota who was undefeated until then. The D played well and Rashard Mendenhall seems like a good RB Big Ben seems like an elite QB, and Pitt is almost a Top 5 team.</p> <p>7. New York Giants (5-2) LW: 5 They lost to the Cardinals. And seem to have lost confidence in themselves. Eli had a terrible day Sunday Night against Arizona. The D did play well but not enough for them to lose and drop out of the Top 5.</p> <p>&nbsp;8. Cincinnati Bengals (5-2) LW: 9 After crushing Chicago 45-10 they rise in the Power Rankings. Cedric Benson and Carson Palmer seem to be the Franchise for the Bengals, and they should have a good playoff run.</p> <p>9. Atlanta Falcons (4-2) LW: 8 A big loss to a over rated Dallas team&hellip;&hellip;oops I mean a Dallas team that is actually good. Matt Ryan was forced into 3 turnovers but they are still a Top 10 team.</p> <p>10. Arizona Cardinals (4-2) LW: 15 A giant win over the Giants.

Damn skippy. They lost to the Cards. The Vikings took a tough defeat. Not much changes this week.</p> <p><strong>1. New Orleans Saints (6-0) - </strong>The Saints haven't trailed all season until Sunday. They trailed as much as 24-3 on the road. In my preview I stated the run game to keep their offense off the field was the key for Miami, and they did a good job early. But this is the best team in football, hands down. Drew Brees led a monumental comeback. Reggie Bush is starting to wake up. Even though they trailed, the way they came back, this was still another dominating performance. Two key division matchups ahead, Monday Night against the Falcons and then at Carolina. They could have the stranglehold on the division after these two weeks.</p> <p><strong>2. Indianapolis Colts (6-0) - </strong>As great as this team is performing, they can't get the nod because going thru their schedule, they haven't played anyone. They beat the Cardinals who are just now warming up, and survived the Dolphins on the road who are 2-4. You get no respect for beating the Rams. Nonetheless they won, and convincingly. However, Indy has had their cakewalk. Schedule gets much tougher. They get a revamped Niners team this week, a streaky Houston team that's an inbetween game, then the big one against New England.</p> <p><strong>3. Denver Broncos (6-0) - </strong>It's nice to see a team function like this. Too bad I can't stand the Broncos. But nonetheless, they move up by default, Minnesota losing, and a bye week. But looking at the schedule, there is definitely room for a collapse. This gets brutal. Coming off the bye week they get Baltimore, the Champs, the Redskins, and the Chargers again. Definitely 1-3 potential in that window.</p> <p><strong>4. New England Patriots (5-2) - </strong>I'm gonna get heat for this. This team is much hotter now and more in sync as compared to early on in the season. I don't like the Patriots, so don't think I'm being biased. Hell I can't stand Denver and they're third. You watch this team now and Brady has a little twinkle in his eye. There's no doubt they can finish 14-2. The brutal schedule comes after the bye this week. Miami twice, at Indy, at New Orleans in a potential super bowl preview, and also hosting the Jets in that stretch. Patriots look to reclaim the East ASAP.</p> <p><strong>5. Minnesota Vikings (6-1) -</strong> Tough loss on the road against the Champs. I've know i've said this before but there isn't enough Adrian Peterson. They keep getting Favre to throw more. Two tough breaks on turnovers were the difference makers in this game. Now it's off to hostile Lambeau in the game the media has looked forward to for two years. If the Vikings aren't carefule, they could be coming back from the bye week with some company at the top. They had the opportunity to blow this wide open, but Green Bay has quietly clawed back within striking distance.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> true 2009-10-27T13:48:23Z 97400 0 Week 8 Power Rankings 2009-10-27T13:48:23Z http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/Feldman9000/blog/posts/97400 2008-04-18T18:32:47Z 22110 Feldman9000's Blog 2008-04-18T18:32:47Z 1576153 http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/Feldman9000/blog Feldman9000 http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/Feldman9000 529340 <p>Rank Team&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Record&nbsp;LWR</p> <ol> <li>New Orleans Saints&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5-0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4</li> <li>Indy Colts&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5-0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2</li> <li>Minnesota Vikes&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 6-0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3</li> <li>Denver Broncos&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;6-0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5</li> <li>Hot-lanta Falcons&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4-1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7</li> <li>New York G-MEN!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5-1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1</li> <li>New England Pats&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4-2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 10</li> <li>Pittsburgh&nbsp;Steelers&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4-2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 12</li> <li>Green Bay Packers&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;3-2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14</li> <li>Cincy Bengals&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4-2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8</li> <li>Chicago DA BEARS!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3-2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9</li> <li>Philly Eagles&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3-2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 6</li> <li>B-More Ravens&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3-3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 11</li> <li>San Francisco 49ers&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3-2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 18</li> <li>Arizona Cards&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3-2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 19</li> <li>Houston Texans&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3-3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 21</li> <li>Miami Dolphins&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2-3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 15</li> <li>San Diego Super Chargers&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2-3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 13</li> <li>Dallas Cowboys&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;3-3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17</li> <li>Jacksonville Jags&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3-3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 22</li> <li>Carolina Panthers&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2-3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23</li> <li>New York J-E-T-S Jets!

And after shutting out the Lions the Pack now goes to Cleveland to see if they can take advantage of them as well. </li> <li><strong>Dallas Cowboys (3-2)</strong> <span>(<span class="blsp-spelling-error">LW</span>-17)</span> Coming off the bye week, the Cowboys have a tough <span class="blsp-spelling-error">matchup</span> in "<span class="blsp-spelling-error">JerryLand</span>" against the HOT Atlanta Falcons, will be a tough test to see if Dallas belongs in the playoff hunt. </li> <li><strong>Arizona Cardinals (3-2)</strong> <span>(<span class="blsp-spelling-error">LW</span>-18)</span> Well we think that the Cardinals may be back, after totally destroying the <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Seahawks</span> on the road last week. But we get to see if the Super Bowl Cardinals are back if they can beat the Giants on the road on <span class="blsp-spelling-error">SNF</span>. </li> <li><strong>Baltimore Ravens (3-3)</strong><span> (<span class="blsp-spelling-error">LW</span>-12)</span> The Ravens were once 3-0 but that seems like a long time ago after losing 3 consecutive heart breakers. They were a last second f<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected">ield</span> goal away from possibly being ranked 9<span class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span>. Now a much needed bye week. </li> <li><strong>Houston Texans (3-3)</strong> <span>(<span class="blsp-spelling-error">LW</span>-20)</span> Well one of if not the most inconsistent teams in the NFL has won another big game but now has a must win against the <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Niners</span> if they want to be a legit playoff contender. </li> <li><strong>Miami Dolphins (2-3)</strong> <span>(<span class="blsp-spelling-error">LW</span>-19)</span> The "Wildcat" is for real, well <span class="blsp-spelling-error">atleast</span> it is in Miami. They seem to be the only team to successfully run it, and with Chad <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Henne</span> having the arm that he does, makes this team dangerous. </li> <li><strong>New York Jets (3-3)</strong> <span>(<span class="blsp-spelling-error">LW</span>-13)</span> Almost a can't lose this week against the Raiders due to 3 consecutive losses. And the last 2 being against division rivals. Rex Ryan really has to get this team on the right track and fast. </li> <li><strong>San Diego Chargers (3-3)</strong> <span>(<span class="blsp-spelling-error">LW</span>-16)</span> A few more head <span class="blsp-spelling-error">scratchers</span> during Monday night's game against the Broncos for <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Norv</span> Turner. We just can't seem to trust him in a big spot and its starting to look like the team doesn't either. </li> <li><strong>Jacksonville Jaguars (3-3)</strong> <span>(<span class="blsp-spelling-error">LW</span>-22)</span> The Jags have moved up 1 spot and are now at .500 but its because they had to beat the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected">lowly</span> Rams in overtime at home. This team is going to have to prove <span class="blsp-spelling-error">alot</span> more to us, to really move up the rankings. </li> <li><strong>Carolina Panthers (2-3)</strong> <span>(<span class="blsp-spelling-error">LW</span>-23)</span> The Panthers have won 2 in a row after their bye week. They have a shot to get back to .500 this week when hosting the Bills. John Fox seems to have got this team on the right track. </li> <li><strong>Buffalo Bills (2-4)</strong> <span>(<span class="blsp-spelling-error">LW</span>-28)</span> Well just when we thought it was over for Dick <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Jauron</span> and the Bills this year, they go into the <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Meadowlands</span> and beat the Jets in overtime. We think that this week's loser of Bills at Panthers will be out of the playoff race for good. </li> <li><strong>Seattle <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Seahawks</span> (2-4)</strong> <span>(<span class="blsp-spelling-error">LW</span>-21)</span> Getting rocked at home to the division rival Cardinals makes us think that Seattle showed us who they really are. Now a much needed bye. </li> <li><strong>Oakland Raiders (2-4)</strong> <span>(<span class="blsp-spelling-error">LW</span>-30)</span> You may say, "Why the big jump in the rankings?" but when it comes down to it, when the Raiders defense decides to play they can play with <span class="blsp-spelling-error">alot</span> of teams in the league and obviously the Eagles are one of them. </li> <li><strong>Kansas City Chiefs (1-5)</strong> <span>(<span class="blsp-spelling-error">LW</span>-27)</span> We said last week that we liked how the team was playing in recent weeks, and they finally got their fist win against the sinking Redskins. Now they catch the Chargers at home after they had a big <span class="blsp-spelling-error">MNF</span> loss to the Broncos. </li> <li><strong>Washington Redskins (1-5)</strong> <span>(<span class="blsp-spelling-error">LW</span>-24)</span> The Skins once again showed us that the organization is in turmoil this week after losing at home to the <span class="blsp-spelling-error">winless</span> Chiefs then letting Sherm Lewis call plays over the guy they hired to originally run the offense. (Shaking our heads) </li> <li><strong>Cleveland Browns (1-5)</strong><span> (<span class="blsp-spelling-error">LW</span>-25)</span> Losing at Pittsburgh last week was a tough game to have coming off their 1st win, but now while half the team has the flu they get to host the Packers, good luck. </li> <li><strong>Detroit Lions (1-5)</strong> <span>(<span class="blsp-spelling-error">LW</span>-26)</span> Well last week we told you that the Lions seemed to be satisfied with their 1 win, and after not even showing up against the Packers, we now fully believe that. </li> <li><strong>St. Louis Rams (0-6) </strong><span>(<span class="blsp-spelling-error">LW</span>-31)</span> The Rams were finally able to move out of the 31st spot in our rankings, but not due to a win. Its just the fact that when a <span class="blsp-spelling-error">winless</span> team in front of you losses by 59<span class="blsp-spelling-error">pts</span> they are sure to drop below you. </li> <li><strong>Tennessee Titans (0-6)</strong> <span>(<span class="blsp-spelling-error">LW</span>-29)</span> Once again we are going to bring up 59-0, the only reason that we keep the <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Bucs</span> in the final spot is because not only are they <span class="blsp-spelling-error">winless</span>, but we think they will remain <span class="blsp-spelling-error">winless</span> for the rest of the season. </li> <li><strong>Tampa Bay <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Bucs</span> (0-6)</strong> <span>(<span class="blsp-spelling-error">LW</span>-32)</span> See above.</li> </ol> true 2009-10-22T23:05:24Z 97117 1 Bosco's Week 7 NFL Power Rankings 2009-10-23T13:20:01Z http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/Dukeyanks1515/blog/posts/97117 2008-04-14T13:01:19Z 23612 Dukeyanks1515's Blog 2008-04-14T13:01:19Z 180159 http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/Dukeyanks1515/blog Dukeyanks1515 http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/Dukeyanks1515 1384250 <p>Here are my Power Rankings for the NFL going into Week 7:</p> <p>&lt;br&gt;&nbsp;</p> <p>1.

Minnesota Vikings</p> <p>&lt;br&gt;&nbsp;</p> <p>5. New England Patriots</p> <p>&lt;br&gt;&nbsp;</p> <p>These 5 teams equal bad news for anyone matched up with them.</p> true 2009-10-21T03:01:59Z 96993 0 NFL Power Rankings- Week 7 2009-10-21T03:07:12Z http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/Dargo7777/blog/posts/96993 2009-10-15T05:54:35Z Just Another Fan Profile Blog 1384250 Dargo7777's Blog 2009-10-15T05:54:35Z 9206105 http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/Dargo7777/blog Dargo7777 http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/Dargo7777 1256301 <p>These are my rankings of all 32 NFL teams. I appreciate any imput so go ahead and leave a comment.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>1. Indiapolis Colts&nbsp; - If there schedule couldn't get any easier, think again.. Take the Colts every week in the NFL Spreads. Manning is the best quarterback there is.</p> <p>2. New England Patriots - Dont get me wrong, they played against a horrific Tennesee Titans team, but just wait and see, I have a feeling the Colts and Pats will meet in the AFC Championship.</p> <p>3. Denver Broncos - They are playing like the most ballanced team in football. Definatly not the most sexy pick, but the Broncos are 6-0, and a win is a win and a loss is a loss. I just dont see them beating the Patriots again, thus they are lower.</p> <p>4. New Orleans Saints - The Saints proved me wrong and just flat out embarresed the New York football Giants last Sunday, if they can slaughter them like that what other NFC team stands in there way?</p> <p>5. Minnesota Vikings - Right now everything is clicking for the Vikings. Perhaps the most talented football team in the NFL, I mean its almost like a dream team. A future HOF under snap, the best running back in the league, and not to mention Jared Allen.. All is good right now, but the Vikings better stay on there heels, remember how Favre and the Jets started last year?</p> <p>6. New York Giants - The Giants suffered an embarresing road loss last week, but look for them to regroup and blowout the 'Fins next week. If the secondary for the G'MEN can tighten up they should be just fine.</p> <p>7. Pittsburgh Steelers - The Steelers seemed to find there stride last Sunday, look for there team to keep improving and look like the Super Bowl champs they were a year ago.</p> <p>8. Baltimore Ravens - The Ravens have lost 3 games in a row by a combined 11 points. After this bye week Ray Lewis and the hungry Ravens will get back on track and pull off an upset against the undefeated Broncos. The Ravens could have easily won there last 3 games.</p> <p>9. Atlanta Falcons - Matt Ryan looked sharp in Sunday Nights win over the Bears, the Falcons and there ballanced offense will continue to put up points.</p> <p>10. Green Bay Packers - They shut out the Lions as there Defensive Line got to Cullpepper all game. But the Packers have alot to fix, including there offensive line woe's giving up another 5 sacks on Sunday, as well as the pass defence.</p> <p>11. Chicago Bears - Cutler got going especially late in the game on Sunday, but couldn't get the job done. They will contend in the Black and Blue division this year 'till the last second.</p> <p>12. Philidelphia Eagles - If you lose against the Raiders, something isn't going the way it should. The game was so Mcnabb, he is a hit or miss. With the media all over him he will have a huge game next Sunday.</p> <p>13. Cinncinati Bengals - The Bengals are set on the offensive side, but had a poor outing to say the least last Sunday against the Texans.</p> <p>14. San Diego Chargers - Yes, they can still come back and win the division, but unlikey unless the defence steps up. Rivers' offensive line didn't buy him any time in the Monday Night loss to the undefeated Bronco's.</p> <p>15. Houston Texans - The Texans and Matt Shuab's offense are looking better and better each week, who can stop them?</p> <p>16. SanFran 49'ers - The 49'ers have arguably the best defence in the NFL, but there total offence needs a lift, maybe the rookie from Texas Tech can make sparks fly in his debut.</p> <p>17. Miami Dolphins - Probably the only team in the NFL that can run the Wildcat successfully.</p> <p>18. Arizona Cardinals - Kurt Warner was clicking on all cylinders in there big win. Maybe the Super Bowl team can turn the pipes.</p> <p>19. Dallas Cowboys - Every week i would NOT take the Cowboys on the points spread because the definition of the Cowboys is inconsistency. Dont get me wrong though, they have the talent to go far.</p> <p>20. Jacksonville Jaguars - Jaguars = worst defence</p> <p>21. New York Jets - Sanchez played like well, a rookie. The Jets finally come back to Earth as they need to go back to the drawing board after a sluggish dissapointing loss to the Bills.</p> <p>22. Carolina Panthers - Hey Jake Delhomme, PASS THE BALL TO STEVE SMITH!!, somehow they need to maneouver him to get him open.</p> <p>23. Buffalo Bills - Why can't the Bills play like they did against the Pats? The Bills are just apart of another collapse with T.O in the makings.</p> <p>24. Seattle Seahawks - They need to use this bye week to their advantage, after getting blown out in a rare home loss.</p> <p>25. Kansas City Chiefs - With there first win last week, there is hope for KC, well atleast a little.. It will be interesting to see if LJ produces again this week.</p> <p>26. Oakland Raiders - The Raiders are 2-4! and they beat the Eagles, yeah thats right, the Eagles.</p> <p>27. Detroit Lions - Stafford needs to come back next week and produce alot, or this Lions team is going to face alot more losses, remind you of something?</p> <p>28. Washington Redskins - It's not that the Redskins are bad, its just there is no effort. Jim Zorn will be outta town within a few weeks unless something drastic happens.</p> <p>29. Cleveland Browns - The QB situation is still not to a conclusion *yawn*, and they traded there best reciever.. Not a wise choice.</p> <p>30. Tennesee Titans - Not in a million years can a team coached by Jeff Fisher be the worst team in the NFL, but after that loss they are playing awfully close to it. I think the Titans may rebound, but not enough, too little too late.</p> <p>31. Tampa Bay Buc's - I like how Jon Gruden is now a commenter for MNF, actually i don't, he may be the most annoying guy to listen to yet to call a game. Too bad the Bucs don't have him now, because they surely need help.</p> <p>32. St. Louis Rams - Yes, the Rams are the worst team in the NFL. When you celebrate in the endzone after scoring a touchdown when you are getting crushed by the Vikings, I think you deserve to be injured.</p> true 2009-10-20T23:12:54Z 96979 1 My NFL Weekly Rankings 10/20/09 2009-10-20T23:14:13Z http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/GBPack1963/blog/posts/96979 2009-06-12T09:00:56Z Just Another Fan Profile Blog 1256301 GBPack1963's Blog 2009-06-12T09:00:56Z 7184646 http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/GBPack1963/blog GBPack1963 http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/GBPack1963 1380724 <p>1. New Oreleans Saints (5-0). LW: 2 - The Saints move up top with a win over the Giants.&nbsp; Drew Brees proved he can play against a good defense.&nbsp; The defense stopped Eli Manning and they have proved they can also ste up.&nbsp; Marques Colston could be an elite WR and Jeremy Shockey is having his best year as a Saint.&nbsp; Darren Sharper is a great safety and has played well this year.</p> <p>2. Indianapolis Colts (5-0), LW: 1 , Indi drops one due to a bye week but I think this team has proven they are going to have a great year.&nbsp; Garcon and Collie have replaced Gonzalez well and the defense has done great.</p> <p>3. Minnesota Vikings. (6-0)&nbsp; LW: 4, Minnesota defeated Baltimore who just keeps playing very good teams.&nbsp; The defense did not play very well against Joe Flacco and his premier offense.&nbsp; Brett Favre and Sidney Rice keep connecting deep down the field.&nbsp; Although the Ravens almost one the Viknigs just keep finding a way to win.</p> <p>4. Denver Broncos (6-0) LW:3.&nbsp; Kyle Orton is a stud, case and point.&nbsp; Although Minnesota jumped them, Denver is still a top five team that could beat anyone.&nbsp; Brandon Marshall and Josh McDaniels are "buddies" now and the defense has played VERY well in the second half.. Scheffler (TE) had a huge day last night against San Diego and Eddie Royal is a great Special Teams athlete.</p> <p>5. New York Giants (5-1) LW: 5.&nbsp; Eli Manning played a stellar game agianst the Saints but they came into the Super Dome against a team that was ready and prepared for them.&nbsp; The defense tried thier best but lost in the end.&nbsp; The Giants can still beat any team but the Saints were ready for them coming off their bye.</p> <p>6. New England Patriots (4-2) LW: 8 Yes, some could say the Titans have a terrible defense but I also think Tom Brady and Randy Moss are getting back to thier scoring ways. The defense played very very well against Kerry Collins but the rush defense needs improvement.&nbsp; Laurence Maroney played well and I think the 07 Pats are back.</p> <p>7. Atlanta Falcons (4-1) LW: 9&nbsp; Atlanta has played well, and they did beat the Bears, Sunday Night.&nbsp; Tony Gonzalez seems to fit this team very well and did beat the Bears LB's.&nbsp; Michael Turner had a not to great game against Chicago but he still got in the end zone.</p> <p>8.&nbsp; Chicago Bears (3-2) LW: 12&nbsp; DA BEARS have played great offensivley but without Brian Urlacher, I dont know if they can handle big threat TE's.&nbsp; Jay Cutler is the Franchise QB they are looking for but he needs some Wideouts to help him out.</p> <p>9. Cincinatti Bengals (4-2) LW: 6&nbsp; Yeah they lost to the Texans, but Houston is improving.&nbsp; The defense of the Bengals needs to step up a little bit to help Carson Palmer and Chad Ochocinco win games</p> <p>10.&nbsp;Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2) LW: 13 Ben Roethlisberger is a great QB, thats all.&nbsp; Willie Parker has been out but Rashard Mendenhall has picked up his game and has helped greatly.&nbsp; Now with Pomalalu back the pass defense should play extremely better.</p> <p>11. Baltimore Ravens (3-3)&nbsp;LW:11</p> <p>12. Green Bay Packers (3-2)&nbsp; LW:15</p> <p>13. Philidelphia Eagles (3-2) LW: 10</p> <p>14. New York Jets (3-3) LW: 7</p> <p>15. Arizona Cardinals (3-2) LW: 16</p> <p>16. Dallas Cowboys: (3-2) LW:18</p> <p>17. San Diego Chargers (2-3) LW: 17</p> <p>18.&nbsp; Miami Dolphins (2-3) LW: 19</p> <p>19. Houston Texans (3-3) LW: 20</p> <p>20. San Franciso 49ers (3-2) LW: 14</p> <p>21.&nbsp; Seattle Seahawks: (2-4) LW: 21</p> <p>22. Jacksonville Jaguars: (3-3) LW: 22</p> <p>23.
