2. Indianapolis Colts (6-0) (Last week: 2). After two straight bye weeks, the Colts get three straight home games.
3. Denver Broncos (6-0) (Last week: 5). "If the Broncos win one more, then they're for real."
4. Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2) (Last week: 6). Jeff Reed's beer muscles will come in handy next year, when he's working at a bar.
5. New England Patriots (5-2) (Last week: 7). In their bye week, the Pats are still good for at least 30 points.
6. Minnesota Vikings (6-1) (Last week: 3). If Brett Favre wins at Lambeau, it might be the last time he ever sets foot in that stadium. (Unless he plays for the Vikings again next year.)
7. Cincinnati Bengals (5-2) (Last week: 9). "If the Bengals win one more, then they're for real."
8. New York Giants (5-2) (Last week: 4). "If the Giants lose one more, then they're not for real."
9. Philadelphia Eagles (3-2) (Last week: 11). During Monday night's pregame, receiver DeSean Jackson inadvertently paid homage to Ralph Wiggum by uttering the word "unpossible." (ESPN already has offered Jackson a post-football job as an analyst.)
10. Green Bay Packers (4-2) (Last week: 12). Nothing makes a bad offensive line look better than playing a bad defense.
11. Dallas Cowboys (4-2) (Last week: 15). Maybe after the season the Lions will offer the Cowboys a first-round pick, a third-round pick, and a sixth-round pick for Miles Austin.
12. Arizona Cardinals (4-2) (Last week: 16). The Cardinals have won three in a row, and only one of the defeated teams was from the NFC West.
13. Baltimore Ravens (3-3) (Last week: 13). "Thanks for nothin', NFC North."
14. Atlanta Falcons (4-2) (Last week: 8). Michael Turner won't have to worry about being overlooked for MVP consideration this year.
15. Houston Texans (4-3) (Last week: 17). If they make the playoffs, there will be no more dangerous team than the Texans.
16. New York Jets (4-3) (Last week: 19). The "Sanchize" is a hot dog that falls apart after three bites. (Yeah, we used it yesterday. Sue us.)
17. Chicago Bears (3-3) (Last week: 10). Maybe the original Coach Teflon (Mike Shanahan) will be replacing the new Coach Teflon (Lovie Smith).
18. San Francisco 49ers (3-3) (Last week: 14). The return of Alex Smith means that it's one big step closer to the arrival of the Nate Davis era.
19. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-3) (Last week: 20). Getting to 4-3 will be a lot easier if they'll be facing Vince Young instead of Kerry Collins on Sunday in Tennessee.
20. San Diego Chargers (3-3) (Last week: 21). That 30-point win over the Chiefs means the Chargers have no excuses for continuing to hover around .500.
21. Miami Dolphins (2-4) (Last week: 18). With trips to New York and New England on tap, it might be over before the middle of November.
22. Buffalo Bills (3-4) (Last week: 24). The appropriate saying before each 2009 Bills game is, "May the best team find a way to blow it."
23. Seattle Seahawks (2-4) (Last week: 23). The Seahawks are in great position . . . to watch the Cardinals and 49ers battle for the NFC West title.
24. Carolina Panthers (2-4) (Last week: 22). By next year, Bill Cowher's spittle will contain tobacco juice.
25. Oakland Raiders (2-5) (Last week: 25). Hey, Richard Seymour. Will you be guaranteeing a Super Bowl win next?
26. Kansas City Chiefs (1-6) (Last week: 26). Running back Larry Johnson's next line of defense? "I was commemorating the annual London game by using their term for cigarettes."
27. Detroit Lions (1-5) (Last week: 28). Only in this anti-parity year could the Lions rise by not playing.
28. Washington Redskins (2-5) (Last week: 27). Is it just us, or is Matt Millen the last person who should be talking about the Redskins' struggles?
29. Cleveland Browns (1-6) (Last week: 29). The players had the flu, and the fans have nausea.
30. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-7) (Last week: 30). With seven points, at least the Bucs scored more on Sunday than Man U.
31. St. Louis Rams (0-7) (Last week: 31). Lose on Sunday at Detroit, and 0-16 could be a reality.
32. Tennessee Titans (0-6) (Last week: 32). Colts coach Jim Caldwell wore a Jeff Fisher mustache this week because, as Caldwell explained, "I wanted to feel like a porn star."
Actually, you should have about 6 teams tied for #32 - Browns, Bucs, Rams, Titans, Chefs, and Raidahs. Even the teams with wins coulda lost those games.
The Bears are too high, you'll see after this weekend when the Browns kick ass...time for Lovie to go, and take your friends with you !
Philly moves up 2 spots after losing last week to Suckland and winning ugly against the Foreskins?
I think Cleveland should be #36 behind Florida, Alabama, USC, and Boise State. Worst team in the NFL and no hope coming anytime soon.
I don't know how the Titans are worse than the Rams or the Bucs but I guess who ever is lucky enough to get that first overall pick can get a chance at Bradford now. I think the Cowboys are a tad high and the Texans are a tad low. And idk how the Florio power rankings work but do are you saying that the Pats would beat the Vikings head to head? Bad as their secondary might be its not worse than the Pats run defense. Although it could be a contest as to which quarter back will get injured first and them subsequently praised for being competitive.
Here's how I see it:
Team
1 Indianapolis
2 New Orleans
3 Denver
4 Minnesota
5 New England
6 Green Bay
7 Philadelphia
8 NY Giants
9 Atlanta
10 NY Jets
11 Pittsburgh
12 Arizona
13 Cincinnati
14 San Francisco
15 Dallas
16 Chicago
17 Jacksonville
18 San Diego
19 Baltimore
20 Buffalo
21 Houston
22 Miami
23 Carolina
24 Seattle
25 Washington
26 Detroit
27 Cleveland
28 Kansas City
29 St. Louis
30 Oakland
31 Tampa Bay
32 Tennessee
"9. Philadelphia Eagles (3-2) (Last week: 11). During Monday night's pregame, receiver DeSean Jackson inadvertently paid homage to Ralph Wiggum by uttering the word "unpossible."
That was painful to watch and I was even embarrassed for Jackson, seeing how arrogant he is. "When I got the ball, I'm explosive and you're gonna see something unbelieveable." "I'm so fast, I'm like the wind, you know?"
What a douche.
I cant wait for Dallas to spank the crap out of the Eagles
"If the Broncos win one more, then they're for real."
That's sad. A team has to go nearly half way through the season undefeated to be considered "for real". Let me ask you a question, did they beat the "world's greatest team" (Patriots) and the team that was supposed to have a cake walk to the AFC west title (Chargers)?
God help them if they happen to lose 1 game. You'll probably put them back in the mid-teens. You know what, go ahead and do it. If there's anything better than winning, it's proving idiots like you wrong!
You know when the Favre chase was going on I visited this site daily to get the latest word. After weeks of visiting the site and observing the columnists on this site I am absolutely stunned and in complete wonder to why this site is as popular as it is.
All NFL experts are nothing but people with opinions. Difference is some are more intelligent, more credible, accurate and make sense in their opinions. The people who write on this site are absolute dip shits.
You make countless mistakes in your stories, you are in accurate and you are biased. This in my opinion is the most overrated website in existence.

You mean like when they spanked the crap out of them 44-6 last year? Oh wait....
Not to be a whiner or anything, but I don't really see why the Steelers being mostly outplayed at home by the Vikings and winning on a couple fluky plays would vault them up that many spots. Vikings should go down a spot or two naturally but what did the Steelers really do other than get somewhat dominated at home and win ugly on some flukes?

---------------------------------------------
Keep playing that line as much as you can. It's only good for a few more weeks...
I think "The Mission Miami" didn't like the way his Phins dropped in the rankings. Since many of the players read the site, I guess Florio is doing something right...most of the time.
PFT is a great site, and I have a hard time reading it on the sneak at work without busting out laughing. Great comments, funny banter and volleying, and some good smack talk. !!!
"You make countless mistakes in your stories, you are in accurate and you are biased. "
What does it mean to be in accurate? Is that in a state of accuracy? Sorry, you can't rip someone while at the same time not knowing how to use the word inaccurate yourself.
"You mean like when they spanked the crap out of them 44-6 last year? Oh wait...."
Maybe he's thinking like when the Eagirls lost to the Raiders 13-9, or when they got blown out of their own stadium 48-22. The Eagirls have played only one good team and they got abused heartily. Business is about to pick up, though.
this is how i see it:
tbf, this is a nfl site, not a mls site. you know, american football? knowledge is a wonderful thing, go get some.
.
6. Minnesota Vikings (6-1) (Last week: 3). If Brett Favre wins at Lambeau, it might be the last time he ever sets foot in that stadium. (Unless he plays for the Vikings again next year. But that would ruin his plan to play for all 32 NFL teams)
I fixed it for ya.
@ 'Mission Miami" -Get off the gas. You should work for the government the way you over analyze everything. If nothing else its a place for fans of the game to leave their opionions about whats going on in the league and get on Florio about being just as ridiculous as we are.
Now to you Florio, man, HOW ARE YOU GONNA DO MY COWBOYS LIKE THAT?
If we took an L Sunday you all would be screaming about how terrible we are and kicking us like you and the rest of America love to do. Instead we handled a good offense, forced plenty of turnovers and scored relentlessly on a less than average but still decent defense. And you put the Eagles ahead of us, who lost to arguably the worst team in the league and only won by ten over the Redskins? And all the while still slurping on the Giants?
But then again, leave us under the radar please sir. I'm not used to it but liking it more and more every Sunday.
one more thing @ DonTerreli- whats wrong with Mr. Jackson talking a little noise, he is one of the fastest players in the league. Let us not forget the players make the game and if they arent exciting us then what will. I think youre the douche. The same douche who probably didnt want him to dance in the endzone either. Its people like you who make this the No Fun League.
"Some people say I'm crazy as a snake"
Now Florio is horendous at the football side of the thing, but I will at least give him props on the business aspect.
Reading Florios predictions, not only about the superbowl, but even on where players will end up in the offseason followed by why he thinks it makes sense, make him at least funny enough to read.
You regurgitate the news at me in an easy to read enjoyable format (before my page started refreshing automaticly)
I just don't listen to anything you have to say about football.
While I am impressed with the Donkeys (sorry I mean Broncos) they are not #3 and when the Steelers take it to them next week on MNF I'm not ashamed to say I will enjoy it most thoroughly.
Wrong about Favre's last visit to Lambeau. He'll be there when they retire his jersey & put him in the ring of honor. Time heals all wounds.
@ Bobby McShanklebee
Like the Cowboys have the all time advantage in the W-L against the Eagles. NOW do you see how absurd that one game argument you make is. 53-43
I actually have a problem with this power ranking. Your going to put the steelers ahead of the vikings? Why because they won, ok then in that case the Bengals have to go ahead of the steelers for the number 4 spot.
The top 3 are fine but vikes need to be 4 then steelers, then new england, you dont drop MN to 6 with a 6-1 record "s-tupid".
I hate greenbay but they need to go to the 8th spot ahead of new york and philly, new york then drops to 9, and cowboys at 10, while philly is 11.
But Vikes are 4th....
For the fans of the three teams below the Browns...what the hell is going on there? Watching the Browns is absolute torture, and you're telling me there are three worse teams? I don't buy it. Either one of those teams would crush the Browns. We just aren't a legitimate NFL team. Basically the Browns are an expansion team again. You telling me Chris Johnson wouldn't have 225 yards and 3 td's against the Browns D?
Prior to this week's game, who has Dallas beaten that's considered a good team? Tampa, Carolina, KC?? All close games I might add! Whereas Philly had crushed all those teams and had each game in the bag by halftime! Thank you!
It's a safe bet Rom-O-Choke soils his pants when he sees the Philly D hitting him from all directions! Dallas has not been impressive this year, even against very beatable teams!
Face it Dallas fanboy, Philly has had MUCH more success over the last 10 years than Dallas.
But Rom-O-Choke should get that highly sought after Pass Attempts record....WOOOHOOO!!!
@ Chapnasty, Vox, and every other Dallas fanboy
If you're going to reside in the past, please stay there and go away!
The NFL(NOT FOR LONG) is all about today, this game, this season, what can you do for me now!
Over the last 1 year, 2 years, 5 years Philly has outperformed Dallas in: Drats, Trades, and on field production!
Until this year, we also had a better stadium! Dallas over the last 10 years has led in, basically, one thing: Bad Publicity! (T.O., Tank, Pacman, etc etc)
Can't wait for the game in two weeks!
Eagurls are too high, lose to Raiders and Redskins hand the game to them.
Hate the Cowgirls but they have looked better lately.
Even the Falcons should be higher.

lol i bet u made the same comment in week 17 last year you've been waiting an awful long time haven't you dont worry you will have your chance to be disappointed in week 17 again and the Eagles will gladly oblige and keep all cowboys fans in denial about romo by keepin hm out of the playoffs so he doesnt have the chance to lose another playoff game
TBF thats strange you see it that was cuz I dont think you have seen any games this year with those rankings
@ ALL EAGLES FANS:
Go get a ring, at least 1, or anything, ANYTHING significant that youve ever done as a franchise I dont care how long ago it was...... And then feel free to come back and join this conversation....LOL!!! You all kill me.
You want to talk about what youve done in the past 5 years......NOTHING.
Past 10 years.....NOTHING.
Past 20 years....NOTHING.
Past 30 years....NOTHING.
Need I go on?
The standard in this league is rings. We have 5. You have none. Even the Bucs, Rams, and Chiefs at least have 1. Hang your head on whatever you want but in the end, this is the only stat that matters. So be sure to pay homage to the STAR when you see it.
"Some people say I'm crazy as a snake"
i don't understand the miami drop of 3 spots.... they played the #1 team in the league, had a lead most of the game, and took them all the way until the end of the fourth quarter.
that's pretty impressive for a high teens ranked team playing against the clear #1, IMO.
P.S. Eagles fans:
Considering the uselessness of your futile franchise, it must really SUCK to share a state with Pittsburgh.
"Some people say I'm crazy as a snake"
Green Bay winning game against St. Louis, Cleveland, Detroit, and Chicago doesn't put them at #10. TBF has put them at #6. Come on, are you people joking.

"Not to be a whiner or anything, but I don't really see why the Steelers being mostly outplayed at home by the Vikings..."
Oh, you're a whiner alright... are you forgetting about how the Steelers held Adrian "the best player in the game today" Peterson to under a hundred yards?
Fluky plays? Do you mean how the Steelers forced a turnover by getting to Favre, knocking the ball from his hands and scooping it up, running the length of the field for a score while accompanied by a cadre of teammates in concerted team effort?
Or are you talking about how Mendenahll dropped the ball on the 5, virtually untouched?
Which was more flukey????
Yeah, I'd call you a whiner...
@ Bezee23
Okay, if you want to stroll down memory lane...look up 1948, 1949, 1960! I hate to break this to ignorant Dallas fanboy, but the league has been going on a lot longer than 43 years(aka Superbowl era).
Now Bezee23, if Philly has done nothing in 10yrs...what has Dallas done in that span? LESS than nothing??
As for other Philly teams....my bad, I believe we will be playing Game #1 of the WORLD SERIES tomorrow, TO DEFEND OUR TITLE!!
The Flyers are always in the playoff mix each year...how about the Dallas Stars??
So please, you just get Doughboy Phillips and Facelift Jones to come up with a good gameplan in two weeks! You'll need it!
44-6....latest chapter in the book!!!!
Suck it!
@ The Miami Mission
If you don't like the smell in the bakery... don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out...
@ Florio -
you might not be the brightest bulb in a tanning bed, but you're hilarious, you got scoops, so you really have a unique product to the FCC controlled media universe of today.
One of my good friends is an NFL analyst. When he's in the press boxes during games, he says that all the media members laptops have PFT running during halftime for the latest news. So yes, I do think you are superior in the NFL news world!
#monkeygoalie....
It's a running joke. That's why he put it in quotes.
I hate the Broncos (Chargers fan here), but they are "for real," definitely worthy of a spot in the top 5.
There. Feel better?
At four, Pittsburgh (5-2) is a full three spots ahead of Cincinnati (5-2). The Bengals' competition has a combined record of 26-19, better than Pittsburgh's at 19-26. The Bengals' two losses have come against opponents with better records, 10-3 as opposed to 8-5. The Bengals have held opponents to fewer points than the Steelers, and trail the Steelers in total points by just four despite facing the better competition. However, the most glaring evidence of Cincinnati being a better team is that Cincinnati BEAT the Steelers. Despite all this, you rank the Steelers ahead of Cincinnati. Why?
You can shoot from the hip with the best of them Florio, but seriously, I don't know what is worse; the Titans @ 32 or the comments you added to their rank.
"I'm so fast, I'm like the wind, you know?"
Like a hurricane force fart.
the Cowboys have the all time advantage in the W-L against the Eagles.
Roger Staubach & Emmit Smith are suiting up again?
The standard in this league is rings. We have 5. You have none. Even the Bucs, Rams, and Chiefs at least have 1. Hang your head on whatever you want but in the end, this is the only stat that matters. So be sure to pay homage to the STAR when you see it.
But first you should pay homage to the Packers, Bears, Giants, Steelers, Redskins, Colts, & 49ers. They have more or as many championships as Dallas.
BTW, the Eagles have 3.
Is school out early today?
I'm a Philly fan, but I don't think they're that good. They're offense has been sluggish for the past two games. They're still better than the Cowboys, though!
I cant wait for Dallas to spank the crap out of the Eagles
Did you really mean to say that you can't wait for the Dallas Mavericks to spank the crap out of the 76ers?
Despite all this, you rank the Steelers ahead of Cincinnati. Why?
Mike Brown?
At the beginning of the years most people were saying that the Bronoc's were lucky if they won 4 or 5 games (Wrong). Than they said they would never beat Dallas (Wrong). Or New England (Wrong). Than came he San Diego game and again they said San Diego would win (Wrong). And now they are saying if they win 1 more people will believe. Who cares what THEY say
the Bronco's are for real and they will beat Pittsburg.
Go Bronoc's!
#28 is a bit generous for the Redskins. I assume it's in anticipation of their upcoming bye-week?
And after the Cardinals manhandled the Giants in the Giants own stadium, you can somehow justify ranking them several notches above the Redbirds? Talk about an East coast bias...you wouldn't know a football team from a volley ball squad if it bit you on the A*****!
Past history is no guarantee of future results...so goes the warning on most prospectuses.
When I want to read comedy pieces, I go to comedy central or laugh or die. When I'm looking for actual reporting and analysis, I go to news sites. Maybe Mr. Florio is better with the yucks than the football knowledge, but I didn't get one single piece of actual football-specific dialogue from this list. This is the NBC Sports website, not an audition for 'How I Met Your Mother".
davidmp2:
Using your logic the Texans should be ranked several spots ahead of your Bengals since they mopped the floor with them last week.
You did beat the Steelers at home but got dominated on both sides of the ball in that game. If you beat the Steelers on the road in two weeks we'll all be impressed and you will move up.
There is still a lot of football left to play, but as absolutely weird as this sounds (putting "Saints" and "Greatness" in the same sentence), sooner or later we are all going to have to admit that the New Orleans Saints are looking like one of the great teams of all times. I know, it just doesn't sound right. But.......
So it would appear that you've got the Saints by themselves, with the Colts quietly at a very close second - or maybe the Broncos.
Then you've got 3 really good teams like the Vikings, Pats, & Steelers.
Then you've got about 10 teams like the Eagles, Cowboys, Falcons, Packers, Bengals, Giants, etc. who might make it into the playoffs.
Then its everybody else, with the dreggs at the very bottom like the Rams, Raiders, etc.
Yeah, I have ties, byes don't count and I don't care what you losers say! Win / loss. I didn't go into who beat who either, so piss off. Just an opinion. If you don't like it, tell me to f-off.

At least Al Davis won Super Bowls and is in the HOF. Snyder is, was and always will be a crappy owner!
He is a spoiled little punk! Bad for football. If Davis goes so does Dumb Ass Snyder for hiring Torn, I mean Zorn as HC! LOSERS!
WOW!!!! I come back to my pc eager to hear the stupidity of Eagles fans who have the I.Q.'s of stillborn babies and they dont dissappoint! I almost fell out of my chair laughing at these clowns...now to the both of you....
@Rickah99- Wow talk about strolling down memory lane???? Im not sure John McCain would even remember those titles. Before the Superbowl Era?? Did you really just say '48, '49 and '60? Are you serious??? Did they even declare champions back then?
Were blacks even allowed to play? Wow you took me way back with that one. And uhhh I'm glad you feel good about your second straight world series berth but did I get lost? This is PFT not MLBT, NBAT or wherever else the pansies are. So if thats what you want to discuss...I will no longer waste time with you. Your section is two or 3 links away with the other fellas pulling skirts down. Get out of here. You lost all credibility with that one.
@HughJassPhd- You have 3? Really? Wow I wouldnt have known that. Seeing as they were in '48, '49, and '60 when there probably wasnt but 6 teams in the league and the term 'Superbowl' hadnt even been coined.
Did the nursing home let out early? Because you and your Geriatric homies up there wearing depends may be the only ones in America who remember those. Then again even they probably think youre lame for bringing that up. And for your info I do respect the STEELERS because they have one more than us. Hate to break it to you but thats the standard. But you wouldnt know that cause youre without one.
"Some people say I'm crazy as a snake"
Just to be clear, the Eagles are 4-2, not 3-2, hoss.
yo, pitbullmama, just a shout out; interesting, isn't it, how the broncos have won games that they weren't "supposed" to win. i'm really feeling you on that. it seems that mr. florio is spouting the same mantra that i've been hearing from the beginning- if the broncos win another one, then they're for real. give me a break!! who do they have to beat up on before they're considered to be "for real"? at least there are people out there who live in the "real" world, like my man monkeygoalie. even opinionated fool sees the truth and he's an avowed bronco hater. not only do the broncos win, but they make teams (good teams; cincinnati, dallas, new england, san diego) disappear in the second half. i guess len dawson will one day soon wake up in the "real" world after my "donkeys" beat up on the celebrated world champion pittsburgh steelers on monday night. we beat cincinnati, let the steelers do that first before unloading your crappy drivel against a better team!! can't wait for the game either. i also can't wait to see your post afterwards. i'm sure that we'll hear you flapping your lips with the same 'ol tired song...... if the broncos win another one, then they're for "real"!!
I am a lifelong Browns fan but they suck bad this year. They have about the same number of wins as when they were gone for three years and their offense is about as productive. If not for Cribbs they might not ever score. But the Clowns will win another one or two and blow their chances for a high pick which they will squander on some loser and then trade off their best players for more losers. The new guys will fit in the system just fine as losers. I do like their helmets still (on a positive note).
Someone PLEASE tell me why everyone seems to classify the Steelers as a "GREAT" team? I glad that the NFL doesn't use the same system as the BCS. It seems that what happens on the field matters less than what people think. FACT: The Bengals beat the Steelers HEAD TO HEAD. FACT: The Bengals gave an A * * whoopin the the Bears who BEAT THE STEELERS. Where is the respect? Oh wait, I'd say it will come AFTER the Bengals beat Pittsburgh on 11-15-09 in Pittsburgh. But, nah, why say something that will disrupt your fantasies? Morons.
Cincybearcatfan...are you really that stupid?
So by your logic, the Bills are better than the Patriots, right? Because the Pats lost to the Jets and the Jets lost to the Bills.
Just wait and see when the Bungles show their true selves. Marvin Lewis is a failure and should have been fired years ago.
God i love it lol ...................... Allow me to retort ?
Bronco's fans please keep up your hype that Denver is going to lay the smack down on the Steelers on MNF . First remember that you play the Ravens this weekend first . Then move on to the Steelers . We can smack talk next week ok sweeties ?
Bengals fans !!!!!!!!!!!! Why are the Steelers higher than you ? Common sense . Yes you beat the Steelers in Cincy this season . Congrats . Im glad that you won your Superbowl for the season . To bad its a 16 game schedule plus playoffs . Blitzinnatti will soon come crashing down . Kisses
To the Eagles fans that are morons . NFL championships went out with the AFL-NFL Merger ok ? Those are nice to remember and make you feel warm and fuzzy since you cant win a Superbowl . Clevelands has a few NFL championships more than U and they never bring them up . So why do you ? Thats what LOSERS do Philly .
Why do they let a proven loser like Matt Millen on ESPN? he used to be a good analysts but is not any longer.
I disagree with your ranking of Indy. They still have yet to play a team that is any good. Hell they barely beat the Jags or the Fins. If they win against a good team then I will say they deserve their ranking.
As far as the Vikes losing to Pitt, it was the Vikes that lost, not Pitt beating them. It would have been a different game if the ref would not have robbed them of their touchdown with the bullsh*t tripping call. Granted they got lucky against the Bills, and should have lost that game.
red_dog: I'll give you the bullsh*t tripping call if you give me the bullsh*t offensive pass interference call against Heath Miller that took away our Holmes touchdown. We were robbed too. Both were technically accurate calls, although both could be classified as "iffy".
Justify the win however you want, Steelers still beat the Vikings. Why is it my problem that our defense beat your offense and you don't consider that our win?
The Fagles no 9?Rush Limbaugh was right!TBF is a retard.

There's no way my Packers have earned anything above 15th. We haven't shown the ability to score meaningful points nor stop good offenses.

Vikes dominated most every statistical catergory. Even the Steelers coach and most of the Vikings players said the Steelers were lucky.
Mendenhall's fumble was bad but it wasn't returned 95 yards for a score. Steelers had more balls batted in the air than the Vikings yet were the only ones luck enough to have one fall in their lap, for a TD no less to save the game for them.
The Favre strip TD was a nice play but Big Ben had one too and lucky for the Steelers it wasn't returned. Heck, it wasn't even recovered. Plus the Vikings scored a TD 3 plays earlier that was called back on a phantom call that even the officials have come out and appoligized for.
So yes, the Steelers were mostly dominated and won on some fluky plays. Even the Steelers coach admitted it so really it isn't even a debate.
Sure, AP was held under 100 yards rushing but he had a 3.8 yd/carry average which is average for a lot of backs and he had 60 yards receiving plus a 3rd and goal rushing TD.
That is a mute point anyways. Green Bay "shut down AP" also earlier this year and the Vikings still smoked them. Then again, they only had one fluky fumble return TD...
Just saying, Vikings were clearly and obviously the better looking team in the game. Everyone but Steelers or Packers fans would see that easily. Even their coach and some of their players openly admitted it.
Laxer37 - Actually, by my logic, the Texans would still rank below Cincinnati because the Texans at 4-3 have one more loss than the Bengals.
Cincinnati and Pittsburgh have identical records. Thereby making the comparison I made far more appropriate.
Of the 5-2 teams, nobody has played a more difficult schedule than Cincinnati to this point. Cincinnati's opponents are a combined 26-19 which is heads and shoulders above the competition of the Steelers (19-26), Giants (19-27) and Patriots (20-25).
Of the four 5-2 teams, I'd rank them
5. Cincinnati
6. New England
7. New York
8. Pittsburgh
The reason I bump New York ahead of Pittsburgh despite the half game difference in opponents schedule is because New York lost to better competition than Pittsburgh, 10-2 as opposed to 8-5 respectively.
I don't see how Cincinnati is not higher either. They beat teams that are currently ranked 4, 10, and 13, and lost to the #3 and #15 team.
Alright... as a diehard Eagles fan I would say they are maybe 4-5 spots too high currently. Their offense hasnt been consistant throughout the season to date and its because of the struggling OLine. Whatever that can change and when it does I look forward to seeing the results.
As far as the Dallas fans trashing Philly....Pick your arguments carefully here. I know we havent won a "superbowl" but we have seen great success in the postseason over the past 10 years that your Cowboys have watched on TV. Seriously if we are going to discredit past achievements then say bye-bye to your rings argument and tell me what have you done lately?
I am a Steelers fan, but I think Cincy should be ranked higher than Pittsburgh by virtue of their head-to-head win. Who cares if the Steelers *should have* won that game. They didn't. That's all that matters. It is either W or L ... there are no moral victories. There is no solace in playing better than your opponent yet still losing.
All that said, who cares where teams are ranked after week 7?
to steeltown pride....."sweety?"........"kisses?"....first time i've ever heard those terms used in relation to N.F.L. football!! you put us down ever so "sweetly". or were you just condescending? i stand corrected, though. bad move overlooking the ravens....loved your post. still doubt if the steelers will be able to beat us on MNF, at altitude. your boys better do what they can in the first half... because the second half belongs to us!!
Can't wait to see the Vikes destroy the Pack at Lambeau on Sunday. That packers O-line is pathetic and they have beat the Browns, Rams, Lions, and Bears. All pathetic teams!
Vikes win in a blowout!
"Browns, Rams, Lions, and Bears"
The Vikings beat the Browns, Lions and Rams too moron so how does that make them that much better then the Packers?
"Vikes win in a blowout!"
Typical Viking fan thinking he knows football when he actually doesn't.
