First Power Ranking (Pre-WK 7)


For the first time on this blog, I’ll release a Power Ranking – a new one should come each week. Please sound off in the comments if you differ from my opinions.

1. Atlanta Falcons (6-0)
- Their perfect record doesn’t say everything, however, Matty Ice could be on his way to the MVP-title. This team is awesome, but they’ll fall soon; because they simply start too slow. Only up here because of their record and the Offense.

2. Chicago Bears (4-1)
- Yeah, I know what you’re going to think: “I only put them here, because I love my team” – and while I do love Da Bears, I do actually think they’re as good as I say they are. They got a reality-check versus The Packers, but they’ve woken up, and Matt Forté is back. I expect huge things for this team, and heck who knows – in a couple of weeks this team could be 7-1.

3. NY Giants (4-2)
- I believe in Eli! And I believe in this team… Thus far! They need to be consistent, or the ‘Skins will catch up.

4. Baltimore Ravens (5-1)
- I love this team, and I expect them to win this week, and the coming weeks ahead. They’ve lost Ray Lewis & Webb, but I still believe the defensive-spine is salvageable.

5. Green Bay Packers (3-3)
- The Pack is Back. Unfortunately, they seem to be back where they were last year. I still hope the Texans just are bad, and the 6 TDs for Rodgers was overkill, and that it doesn’t reflect their true level of play. They meet the Rams this week, a game they should win – however, if they lose; all hell will break loose. Especially if the Bears go 5-1, this week.

6. SF 49’ers (4-2)
- Disappointed me this week, but I expect them to get back on track sooner rather than later.

7. Houston Texans (5-1)
- They went from being Numero Uno on my unreleased Power Ranking last week, to falling down 6 spots. They deserve this, massively disappointed. The Pack should’ve been 2-4, disappointed in you Houston!

8. Seattle Seahawks (4-2)
- Great defense and a great home field, but until they beat a great team, away from home, they’ll stay here.

9. Minnesota Vikings (4-2)
- Yes, I know they lost to the ‘Skins. But I still believe the game would have been different in Minnesota. Not a great team, but definitely not a bad one either.

10. Washington Redskins (3-3)
- Who’d have thought it? Regardless, with the Shanahans RGIII has taken this team far – and I expect them to really challenge for the NFC East-Crown. Don’t let me down.

11. Denver Broncos (3-3)
- Peyton put you here, get a little bit better and you’ll win this division. Hey, no more Tebow! Wuhu!

12. New England Patriots (3-3)
- Regardless of what Sherman says, you don’t doubt Tom Brady. He’s simply one of the best out there.

13. San Diego Chargers (3-3)
- Rivers is extrovert, but to loud. But, I’m a Cutler-fan and I thus shouldn’t preach. This team could go far, but I fear Norv Turner has to be let go for this to happen.

14. St. Louis Rams (3-3)
- I like this team, and they’re headed in the right direction. Jeff Fisher can take this team far, Super Bowl within 5 years, if he’s here that long. Yes, I just said that.

15. Miami Dolphins (3-3)
- I started out really liking Ryan Tannehill, but feared we had another Gabbert on our hands, however, he’s been consistent – and I like where this team is headed.

16. Buffalo Bills (3-3)
- Could end up surprising some teams if Mario Williams gets better soon. We’re all waiting for another long playoff-run.

17. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-3)
- They should be better, and they probably are better. Get your mindset straight and win games, for crying out loud!

18. NY Jets (3-3)
- They can’t walk the walk w/ Rex as their Guardian. Disappointed in Mark Sanchez, they manage to defeat the Colts, which is fine but you’ll have to be more consistent. 

19. Indianapolis Colts (2-3)
- I really really like Andrew Luck, and I’m going to root for him every week. I like this team, and hopefully they’ll gain more momentum w/ the ‘Chuckstrong’ campaign. You lost to a poor team, show us you’re better than them.

20. Detroit Lions (2-3)
- I just don’t like this team. I don’t like how they play, they’re inconsistent – and I definitely don’t like their attitude. This team is cocky, and they’ve got no reason to be that. They are the poorest team in the NFC North, but then again – that’s a strong division.

21. Philadelphia Eagles (3-3)
- Andy Reid didn’t put you here, Mike Vick did. He’s been horrible, just horrible – and extremely disappointing. When comparing him to QBs like him, he just isn’t safe enough. Get better or start Nick Foles.

22. Arizona Cardinals (4-2)
- Disappointed with what they’ve done since their amazing start, they’ve lost what made them special and interesting. Go for Barkley or Geno Smith, you’re going to need them if you want to get anything out of Larry Fitzgerald.

23. Cincinnati Bengals (3-3)
- A decent team, amazing potential. This team could blow up if the Ravens fall in the coming weeks, this division is suddenly wide open. I’m rooting for you this season.

24. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-3)
- I expected more than what you’ve shown so far, but all is not lost. The NFC is strong this year, and I believe you would’ve fared better in the AFC this season.

25. New Orleans Saints (1-4)
- I love Drew Brees’ story, I hate Bounty-Gate… I despise it; but I hope Drew gets back on track sooner rather than later.

26. Tennessee Titans (2-4)
- I really like this team on paper, but I’ve lost all faith in CJzeroK; and the win against Pittsburgh only gets you this much credit. 

27. Dallas Cowboys (2-3)
- I just don’t see you as a good enough team to win the big games, and if you don’t take down Carolina this week, people are laughing at you – don’t disappoint this week; or you won’t get back up in a long long time. I may be harsh here, but you deserve to be set in the right mindset.

28. Carolina Panthers (1-4)
- Have you lost it, Cam? It’s kind off like if you were on the cover of Madden. I don’t want to say you’re the next Vince Young, but I fear you’re headed in that direction. I expected big things from you this year… Now, please don’t turn out to be another Young-story; that’d break a lot of NFL-hearts.

29. Oakland Raiders (1-4)
- Carson Palmer is not poor, but the team is. I’m sorry Raider-Nation, I love McFadden, but I don’t like your team this year.

30. Cleveland Browns (1-5).
- They’re getting to a place where they fit in, but, when all is said and done Weeden & Richardson can be really really good in a couple of years, if Weeden lasts that long.

31. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-4).
- Horrible, just horrible. You’ve got potential, but unfortunately potential doesn’t equal immediate production. Good luck Gabbert, you’re going to need it.

32. Kansas City Chiefs (1-5).
- When your only win in 6 games is away from home, and your home fans cheer at your Starting QB getting concussed; something’s wrong. I’d start Brady Quinn this week, simply because I have no faith, what-so-ever, in Matt Cassel. Regarding Quinn, I liked this kid in College… In College…
