Week 17 NFL Power Rankings

What the hell is going on?

I mean, seriously. People actually expected the Dolphins to beat the Patriots? They actually thought the worst possible rendition of that 72′ team could end the possibility of this current Patriot team from going undefeated? You must be joking.

And what is with the Green Bay Packers? More importantly-Brett Favre. Have you ever seen him play that crappy in bad weather? And what about Jon Ryan? Talk about the punter’s day from hell.

And as if we hadn’t seen everything. We get a showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions, two teams who haven’t won in forever, and both are punting the ball back and forth, waiting for the other team to win the game. Congratulations, Matt Millen, you are one game closer to being average. And as for you, Jon Kitna, lay off predictions for a while.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t know how much more of this up and down season I can take. Teams like the Packers and Cowboys aren’t living up to expectations, Steve Smith is suddenly good again, Shaun Hill is the apparent future in San Fransisco, and the San Diego Chargers, at least for the now, are being considered a solid football team.

and the power rankings for the coming week 17…

A True Professional

If you saw the Dallas Cowboys play the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend, you might have felt like you had taken a trip back in time. In a situation reminiscent of “Roger the Dodger” and his famous two-minute drills, Tony Romo put everything on the line and pulled a victory out of nowhere.

Week 16 2007 NFL Power Rankings

The Green Bay Packers are once again a dominant team. Prior to their Dallas game a few weeks back, then had won three straight games handily, and after leaving Dallas, have now won two straight in impressive fashion, as well. They continue to win on the road, put up points, and aside from maybe this past game, reinvent their offense by integrating a new running game.

Now, all of a sudden, after the Cowboys fell to Philly, the Packers are two wins and a Dallas loss from home field advantage throughout the playoffs. How do you think the rest of the NFC is feeling right now? There’s a pretty good chance the road to the Super Bowl will be going through Lambeau.

And that’s why Green Bay jumps up a slot past Dallas this week. As for the rest of the teams, here are the power rankings for the upcoming week 16 in the NFL…

New England Patriots

The Class of the NFL

This just in people: The New England Patriots did not lose to the Steelers, as the jaw-jacking back-up safety Anthony Smith so cleverly predicted. Oh, I’m sorry, guaranteed.

Not only did they once again step in the face of adversity and come out the winners, but they did so with the kind of confidence we have never seen. And what’s so wrong with that? When Tom Brady stepped toward Anthony Smith after his touchdown throw late in the game, he was met with onslaughts of insults from the Steelers defenders, as well as later criticism from reporters and people all around the league, calling him classless.

NFL Post Season Predictions

Conventional wisdom would say that it won’t matter if the Patriots go 16-0 this season. They’re going to the Super Bowl, regardless. No one can stop them, and that’s including Peyton Manning and his injury riddled Colts. And let’s not even start with the NFC, right? The Dallas Cowboys, who are now lifted to new heights as the powerhouse of the NFC after defeating Green Bay, are supposedly not even close to New England in terms of fire power. And the proof? A 48-27 drubbing handed to Dallas by the Massachusetts natives in week 7.

But that’s just speculation. Hell, I guess everything is when it gets to this point in the season. To be honest, the only thing we’re certain of is that the Miami Dolphins are not going to the playoffs, and that New England has won it’s division.

Big deal.

I’m not saying don’t vote for Bill Belicheck for coach of the year, or neglect Tom Brady from the MVP. I’m just saying don’t shut out the little guys from the big game before it even starts.

Contrary to popular belief, there are other teams that will be in the playoffs this year. In fact, there are eleven reasons why the Patriots should worry about their winning streak, and why they are becoming, week by week, more vulnerable.

The way the playoff picture looks now, the following teams would be in the playoffs:

AFC: New England, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, San Diego, Jacksonville, Cleveland

NFC: Dallas, Green Bay, Tampa Bay, Seattle, New York Giants, Arizona

And that’s exactly how it’s going to stay.
