NFL Power Rankings or something

Here goes the second version of my NFL Power Rankings or top 10 or whatever you want to call it. I am going to keep calling it my power rankings and I am going to keep ranking them the way I do because its my style.

This week's rankings actually changed last night during the podcast due to a heated discussion between GM and I. I will admit that I was wrong but we also established that we differ in the way we are ranking the teams. I was wrong about 1 team but I will stand by the rest of my rankings.

I would just like to add that the team I was wrong about is the Pittsburgh Steelers but ESPN has them at 6 as well. I do think I ranked them higher then I should have and the Eagles lower then I should have but I do think the two teams should be close in the rankings.

Anyway, here it goes...

10. Denver Broncos - The team is still 3-1 but they lost to the Chiefs. The defense showed that it was really bad this past weekend. If the offense doesn't score 35 right now they don't win. That's not good!

9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Impressive win over the Packers. Earnest Graham is good! Griese is kind of managing the game and the defense it playing really well. Matt Bryant gets my woo woo this week. Unbelievable! I don't know how he did it and he did it really well!

8. Philadelphia Eagles - I had to rethink this week but I now agree that the Eagles belong on this list. Yes, they lost to the Bears but it was on the road without Westbrook and it was close. A play here or a play on 4th down and this might have changed. The Bears aren't bad either by the way.

7. Carolina Panthers - 24-9 over Atlanta isn't huge but it is what was supposed to happen. Steve Smith and Muhammad are playing well for Delhomme and the D is good too! Jonathan Stewart keeps on scoring too.

6. New York Giants - Didn't play but they are still undefeated. Lets see what they have without Plax. They play Seattle this week and they may get Engram and Branch back. That makes them much better so this is will be a decent test of the Giants. Let's see what happens.

5. Dallas Cowboys - They are still the most talented team in the league. They lost however, at home to the Redskins. Was the play calling questionable, of course. But they played and Washington won and that's why they dropped. T.O. complained about Romo after the game too. Watch out!

4. Washington Redskins - The Giants beat them in Week 1 but since that game this team has been really good. The offense is getting better each week and Santana Moss has been great so far. This offense is perfect for him obviously. Beating Dallas in Dallas and having the ball for 38 minutes is very impressive.

3. San Diego Chargers - Tomlinson had a great 4th quarter and that carried this team to a win over the Raiders. Is that impressive? I don't know but they came back and won. They are 2-2 but this team could go on a long winning streak as long as Tomlinson stays healthy.

2. Buffalo Bills - I like this team a lot. They have had to come back 3 times this season in the 4th quarter. It is what it is but they have and they are 4-0. The schedule is questionable but that's not their fault. They are winning the games they should and the defense is good!

1. Tennessee Titans - They beat Minnesota 30-17 and the defense is the best in the league. Kerry Collins is Kerry Collins but Chris Johnson is probably the rookie of the year right now. He has made that run game great. They are the best team in the league right now and that's why I have them here.

There ya have it fans. Version 2 of the power rankings and I would like to thank the GM for educating me last night during the podcast about the Eagles. I feel as though my rankings are better now but until next time, please debate me!


GMs Thoughts:

I still disagree with your rankings but they are your rankings and as long as you can stand by them then they are fine. I personally think Buffalo is HIGHLY over rated. The game in Arizona will either prove me wrong or right depending on the outcome. And just because ESPN has the Steelers at number 6 means nothing. How a team that got beaten down by the Eagles and barely beat a very average Ravens team at home does not deserve to be in the top 10. The offensive line is horrible and the entire team is getting hurt. MAYBE when they are healthy they will return. Unfortunately for me the Steelers get to pad their ranking and record by playing the Bengals, Browns, and Ravens 2 times each this year. That is pretty much 6 guaranteed wins right there!
