I wasn't sold on Baltimore since Week 1. Their defense is gassed, and it showed last night how bad they could be without Reed in the secondary, go figure. The offense relies on the long ball way too often and they are as predictable as it comes. I told Rick weeks ago to not give up on Green Bay and that 3-4 defense and that the 3-4 will come around eventually. Well, it's come around. Green Bay is primed for a playoff run and I like their squad right now.

23 penalties for 310 yards?!?!? Never saw such a thing. Despicable & both teams should feel dirty after that shrugging stat.

We could possibly have a 5 way tie in the MF fantasy league when it's all said and done. :shock: Wonder who won't make the cut!

OH, and btw, consider me on the bandwagon for hating the pass interference calls. They are completely out of hand. This is a sport where men get plowed into the ground, concussed, bruised, beaten, bloodied... you gotta allow a little jostling on the routes. Very excessive.

MY PACKERS DEFENSE was SHARP AGAIN... DANG... its like the Vikings hangover is done...and now they can concentrate on playing the game!!
I was cussing at the TV that frightened my dog.... hilarious!! The Packers have the worst special teams coverage of the NFL...

The game was won by the Packers inspite of themselfs for wanting to give the game away... AMAZING... but a win is a win in this league...
Penalties were just crazy... the turnovers were crazy... BUT VERY HAPPY THIS MORNING with the win.
8-4, never would have thought it in September... The goal for the Pack should now be to get to the playoffs with a chance to play the Vikings for a third time!!
Also did you feel the anoucers love for Rodgers... WOW.

Obviously you haven't watched a team the resides in the AFC North, and I'm not talking about the Ravens, Bengals or Browns. Special Teams alone have blown at least 4 games for the Steelers and that's putting it nicely considering blown 4th qrt leads against piss poor opponents.

As far as Green Bay, Rodger's is a stud and if they can protect him, which they have been doing for weeks now, then he is elite and it doesn't matter what you throw at him, he will take his shots down field and make you pay for it. He's something. He's accurate, he has a strong arm, and he's decisive with the football and makes few mistakes. With that defense finally understanding the 3-4 schemes of Dom Capers, the Packers could make noise. Still, tune down the penalties, that's down right AWFUL and that might not get it done against top notch, quality opponents such as Minnesota or New Orleans. If if comes to a GB Vs Minny round 3, I still like Minny's chances with Favre playing in the dome at home, esp since GB has proven that they can't block Jared Allen and keep him or anyone else on that vaunted Vikings D off of Rodgers.

My Power Rankings:

1. Indianapolis Colts- This team is strong and seems indestructible at this point whether it's close wins, blowout wins, or come from behind blowout wins and snatching victory from defeat.

2. New Orleans Saints- Fortunate bounces happen to teams that have 12 wins and 0 losses. Fortunately for the Saints, that luck came against a bad team. Credit Washington for playing with heart.

3. San Diego Chargers- Scariest team in the AFC playoff hunt to challenge the Colts anytime, anywhere.

4. Minnesota Vikings- Even though the Vikes lost to the uprising Cards, they are still one of the best in the league, but losing on the road in a tough environment should provide no panic. They
dropped maybe a half a peg but expect them to rise back up in the coming weeks and look as dominant as they were before Sunday Night. They were due anyhow.

5. Arizona Cardinals- They made a statement game by crushing the Vikes, at home against one of the better teams in the Conference. Can they keep it up is the question. Come playoff time, the Cards can NOT be overlooked or else.

6. Green Bay Packers- One of the teams that could play MAJOR spoiler to teams like New Orleans or even Minny on the road. Questions still remain if they can protect Rodgers against a team like the Vikes and inconsistency is still there in many spots, but they are small pot holes that could be filled with excellence.

7. Denver Broncos- Looking like the 6-0 team we've seen out the gate. Still, I think they are weak and lose at least 2 more, opening the door to a 5th WC spot.

8. Cincinnati Bengals- I believe this team will be the weakest team in the whole NFL playoffs. Palmer and the offense need to show up with more fire power or they could be one and done easily. But again, they could be last years Cardinals. Something to think about.

9. Philadelphia Eagles- Division still up for grabs, and this three way dance for the East will be a slobber knocker to the finish since EVERY team in the East still plays each other. The Giants won't go away and Dallas is living in December and we all know what that means. So far for Dallas, 0-1. It's the Eagles to take.

10. New England Patriots- Losing 3 of the last 4 is a major concern for New England and that defense is pretty much non existent. The defense only has 20 sacks, which is tied dead last in the league with the St.Louis Rams and they let Chad Henne pick them apart and attempt 53 passes. It doesn't matter what Brady and the offense does, it's shown now that the offense can't make up for EVERYTHING like they've had in the past. Still, New England is a threat in the playoffs and could indeed get it done when it counts. Tough to go against them come post-season.

The issue on the pass interference calls isn't that they're making the calls. It's that the officials have no fucking clue what pass interference is. They call it when it's clearly something that shouldn't be called and then they let it go when a guy gets fucking mugged and tackled. It's really an embarrassment, and I've seen a whole lot of games lost in the NFL because of shitty, phantom pass interference calls. It gets worse season after season and I'm not sure the NFL will ever get a handle on it.

Get New England off the list and get Pittsburgh off of your "on the fringe list". Both teams flat out SUCK. Neither team can hold a lead to save their life and neither team should be mentioned on ANY "power ranking". Neither one of these teams will be a factor in the playoffs. If either of these teams even makes the playoffs, they'll be one and done!

At this point of the season, any team near the bottom of the top 10 list are usually teams that make up a playoff top 10 and are the weakest amongst playoff contenders. 1-5 is obvious serious condenders, 6-7 are teams that could make noise, and 8-10 are teams that could be one and done, or could last until the divisional round and has holes to fill if they want to make it anywhere near the Championship round.

On the fringe teams are close to dead teams and only are considered to make a tiny run to either a Wild Card or at least in the hunt but aren't taking serious.

A stat to put any Super Bowl Champion in perspective.

When the Steelers lost to the Oakland Raiders last Sunday, it was their fourth consecutive defeat, which tied for the second longest losing streak in NFL history for a defending Super Bowl champion.

The 2002 New England Patriots, the 1998 Denver Broncos and the 1976 Steelers all lost four games in a row the year after winning the Super Bowl.

In all instances, the team failed to make the playoffs that year except for the '76 Steelers. Since the first Super Bowl in 1966, 13 times the defending champion has lost at least three games in a row the year after winning the title. The Raiders lost three in a row in 1981 as the Oakland Raiders and again in 1984 as the Los Angeles Raiders.

The Giants also lost three in a row the year after the shocking Super XXV win over the Buffalo Bills.

Five game losing streak

1987 — New York Giants

Four-game losing streak

2009 — Steelers

2002 — New England Patriots

1999 — Denver Broncos

Three-game losing streak

2006 — Steelers

2003 — Tampa Bay Buccaneers

2000 — St. Louis Rams

1991 — New York Giants

1988 — Washington Redskins

1984 — Los Angeles Raiders

1981 — Oakland Raiders

1980 — Steelers

1976 — Steelers

Time to get the early prediction in for the Thursday night game. Pittsburgh ROLLS tonight, in spite of the frigid weather. They are a pissed off team and the Browns are DREADFUL. Steelers by 17.

I'm not even looking at the opponent right now. The weather ALONE has me scared about tonight. Reminds me of the Miami mud bowl game in '07 and last season in Week 2 when we faced Cleveland in the wind. Just terrible conditions and it doesn't matter how bad a team is at this point. If it's ANY TIME for the Cleveland Browns to beat the Steelers, it's tonight. 10 games gets the Steelers in the playoffs and that means winning out. Do they finally wake up at least for a game? I sure hope so. That said, FUCK CLEVELAND. Steelers by 16.

He needs to be cut as soon as the season ends. The Raiders will only suffer a minor cap hit. The jackass doesn't even hesitate to throw the rest of the team under the bus.

Easy on Travis. Football is huge to this guy. He's gone from having a Superbowl team, to a team in shambles. God, don't I know the feeling.
