Week 8 NFL Power Rankings

After 7 weeks, there’s finally a change at the top with the undefeated Eagles in the #1 slot. The Patriots are still the team to beat in the AFC but for now, Pittsburgh moves into #2. Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot from the “Steeler Nation”. What is this crap with every fan base being a nation? There’s the Raider Nation and that’s it.

Rank (Pv)	Team	Record	Comment
1 (2)		7-0	Why is everyone so mad at TO’s dance? Didn’t Ray Ray “mock” Joey Porter last year, even though he was sitting on the sidelines with a gunshot wound to his ass?
2 (7)		6-1	Can they knock off two undefeateds in a row? They match up very well against Eagles on O but there’s TO to worry about.
3 (1)		6-1	All good things must come to an end. The Patriots got hit by the injury bug. They’re still the favorites to win the AFC.
4 (4)		6-1	They bounced right back from the NE loss to trounce the Dolphins. Although, everybody trounces the Dolphins.
5 (3)		5-2	It’s deja vu all over again! Why do the Giants have the Vikings’ number? This was an embarassing loss and showed why Randy Moss is the MVP of that offense, not Culpepper.
6 (9)		6-2	This is the most inconsistent good team in the NFL. Falcons fans better hope they can string together quality games come playoff time.
7 (13)		5-2	Huge bounce back win by the Giants. Easy upcoming games could have them tied for tops in the NFC East by week 11.
8 (5)		4-3	We knew they couldn’t play defense but that offense can outgun most everyone…except the Chiefs at Arrowhead. Can’t wait to see this playoff game.
9 (6)		5-3	Was only still in the game against the Texans because of Gaffney’s mental retardation. Is it just me or does Leftwich look like the fat kid from Goodburger / SNL?
10 (8)		5-3	What was once a lock on the division is starting to slip away. That INT for a TD was vintage Jake Plummer… Arizona style.
11 (12)		5-3	How good would this team be doing if they had drafted, say, Roy Williams instead of Philip Rivers?
12 (15)		4-3	Finally done with the losing streak but still remains to be seen whether they can contend in the NFC. It’s hard to get the taste of losing to Arizona out of your mouth just by beating Carolina.
13 (10)		4-3	Don’t be mad, Ray Ray, if you didn’t already have such a ridiculous dance in the first place, you wouldn’t be mocked. By the way, is it hard to do the dance with Stuart Scott’s lips firmly planted on your ass?
14 (16)		4-3	Things are tightening up in the AFC South and Houston might make a run for it. This is a team that’s only a few years old, folks.
15 (18)		4-4	Was Thrash moving? Did they deserve the win? Who cares, it’s .500 at the bye.
16 (14)		4-3	I hope they took the bye week to figure out what the hell happened against Miami cause Patriots are coming in pissed off.
17 (11)		4-3	They missed a golden opportunity to move into a tie for 1st place by losing to the Cowboys? This is what separates good from up-and-coming.
18 (20)		3-4	KC’s climb back up to .500 should be complete next week against the Bucs.
19 (17)		3-4	I want to see Garcia break out the Ray Lewis dance after he scores a TD next week. That might cause Ray Ray to murder…er… obstruct someone’s justice.
20 (19)		3-4	NFC South is the worst division in football.
21 (24)		3-4	Soundly beat the Lions. But this team just doesn’t have the talent to make any noise this year.
22 (25)		3-5	3-5 in the toughest division in football means no playoffs. Good luck next year.
23 (21)		2-5	Followed an impressive win with a stinker by losing to Billy Volek helmed Titans. Kitna…Kitna…Kitna…
24 (31)		2-5	That huge gamble they took on McGahee might pay off after all. They showed the replay of his injury against Ohio. I’m surprised he can walk.
25 (22)		2-5	This defense is a shell of its former self. Going up against the Chiefs’ offense should be a laugher.
26 (23)		2-6	Why does Warren Sapp getting into the face of Norv Turner get no attention? Maybe because no one cares about a crappy team.
27 (26)		2-5	Do you think right now, Dubya is setting up a strike force to have James Thrash killed?
28 (27)		2-5	So much for the resurgence in the desert. What was that garbage they displayed against the Bills?
29 (32)		2-5	ESPN should pay me to have to watch that Sunday game. Krenzel, nice win. Probably will be the last this season as you can’t play SF again.
30 (29)		1-6	Will the Panthers use their high draft pick on a QB?
31 (28)		1-6	Ken Dorsey is a nightmare. It’s a sad day when this franchise has to hope for Tim Rattay to be healthy.
32 (30)		1-6	Embarassed by the Jets on MNF. Dave Wannstedt has to go, even if it’s not all his fault.
