Why are we ranked so high? Please move the Giants down 10 spots, at least 10 maybe 15. Eagles own us.

Yeah, the Chargers/Buccs/Titans and Lions are all better than the Dallas Cowboys.

I’m a Texans fan, and think they shouldn’t be ranked ahead of Atlanta. Falcons lost a close one on the road to a division rival. Texans loss: screwed the pooch in prime time at home, when they should have been ready for the Packers, and the Texans looked like not-much. Houston’s better balanced, but Atlanta has repeatedly shown the ability to finish great in close games, something Houston hasn’t done
———————————————

It’s hard to show you can win close games when you win by 20 every week. I actually thought the Bears game was the best win of the season. It was a tough game, in the rain, on the road, against arguably the best defense in the league and we were able to eek out a close victory on the back of our defense and running game. The fact that Atlanta has won comeback victories against sub par opponents just tells me they are better than their weak schedule. I never felt that ATL was a 16-0 or 15-1 type team.

I agree with another Texans fan that Denver should be higher. I very much don’t want to see Denver in the playoffs.

Vikings one ahead of the Bucs? Bucs beat the Vikings in Minn.

Yeah, and the Vikings beat the 49′ers.

So what.

Things look great for the Ravens, even if it’s mainly on offense. The bye week seemed like a good time for the Ravens to get comfortable without Ray Lewis and Lardarius Webb, and we looked incredible against the Raiders. If we put up 30 points against the Steelers on Sunday, we come out with a win along with an 8-2 record and a seat atop the AFC North.

Very confused how you place Seattle down at 12 when you know they could beat most teams ahead of them, and have beat 2. Not sure what its going to take for people to realize how good Seattle is.

2. Falcons: The Saints helped the Falcons get some national media attention.

2 is also the Over/Under on how many points the Falcons will score in the playoffs

Patriots didn’t blow a fourth quarter lead last Sunday. The scored first in the first quarter and never trailed in the game.

Seven games left – with Cutler, Bears could finish 5-2, without him, 2-5.

I am not dreading a second straight ‘superslide’ from the Bears, but if Cutler misses any significant time – and Campbell doesn’t step up – then yeah, they’ll be lucky to win ten games.

Jets are ranked too high and im actually a Jets fan. I dont see one good thing we do on offense or defense. Colts at #10 seems to be a stretch

There is nothing sacred this season except the Texans at this point.
San Fran couldn’t beat the Rams at home and the coachless 0-4 starting Saints defeated the undefeated Falcons

So Vikings are one spot ahead of Bucs despite the Bucs recently crushing the Vikings in Minnesota AND riding a 3 game win streak (and 4 out of 5)?

Actually I’m pretty sure that losing to Seattle in week 9 will hurt the Vikings more than a week 3 game they weren’t involved in.

Well said. What does it matter when and where the Sea win came from, if Min is a game back then they are a game back, that’s on them not two other teams. If they fall short then they should have handled the head to head.

Putting any AFC team in the top five is laughable. The real Superbowl will be the NFC championship.

Most NFL “experts” says the NFC is significantly better than the AFC. I know this is one writers opinion but look at these power rankings. The top team is from the AFC, 2 of the top 3 and 6 of the top 10 are AFC teams. Does being better in the middle and at the bottom mean the NFC is better(inter conference records not withstanding)
?

18. Rams: With the Rams having a 2-0-1 record in the division and a 1-5 mark out of it, the NFC West isn’t as good as we think it is.
__________________________

And with the Seahawks 0-3 inside the division and 6-1 outside it, maybe it’s better than you think it is.

Wait. Are you making a good point here? Yes.

As a Jags fan, who watches all the Jags games, I have to say, I find it very hard to believe there is an NFL team worse than we are. We should be # 32.

You, based on the Rams, try to paint the whole NFC West as being bad and bad outside of the division. Look at the numbers before making yourself look ignorant.

Non-Division Record:
Seattle 6-1
S.F. 4-2
Arz 3-3

Mike, I usually find your comments witty, but that comment on the Seahawks at 12 was just lame. You can do better.

As a Patriots fan I’m happy this is one of those years when nobody really believes in them. Keep saying the defense stinks, Brady chokes in the 4th quarter and when January comes around the Patriots will be a factor as always.

Last year was similar nobody really thought that team would win a playoff game with that defense never mind coming a play away from winning the Super Bowl. In 2010 people were pretty much coronating the Pats and Brady and then the Jets beat them.

As the Giants have shown it really doesn’t matter how a team is playing until December and January.

The perfect elixir for what ails the Eagles, Deangelo Hall and Josh Wilson are coming to town…The Redskins should beat the Eagles, like they should have beaten the Panthers…In games like this, the Redskins have consistently come up short the last 15 years…..

Someone please tell Kyle Shanahan to call plays from upstairs, where he can see what’s happening, not down on the sidelines…Then maybe on 3rd and 9, he’ll have RG3 throw the ball, not Josh Morgan….idiot

Bottom line is my Vikings have exceeded my expectations already, every win going forward is gravy. They are young & developing. Once we acquire a big #1 difference maker, and tweak our D, this team will win for years…”

————————————————–

Bears twice, Packers twice, @ Houston, and @ St. Louis…

That doesn’t taste like gravy to me…tastes like you’ll be lucky if you get two wins out of those last six…tastes like the powder you use to make instant gravy, before you mix it with water.
