Week 7 NFL Power Rankings
Uncategorized October 23rd. 2007, 12:25pm
As we wonder aloud to nobody in particular when LOST is coming back on the air, we have to know … do you like Kenny Watson at home against Pittsburgh, or Jesse Chatman in London against the Giants D?
1. New England Patriots - Too bad they don’t have anyone that went to Kansas. Hello!
2. Indianapolis Colts - They love Kenton Keith in Canada. Also, the loonie continues to rise.
3. Dallas Cowboys - They love Romo on the radio.
4. New York Giants - Will Plaxico Burress find his way onto the hip London club scene this week?
5. Tennessee Titans - Records show Jeff Fisher bought heavy stock in smoke and mirrors Friday. We should have known.
6. Pittsburgh Steelers - These guys aren’t who we thought they were … on the road.
7. Green Bay Packers - RIP Max McGee.
8. Washington Redskins - This would be a good week for Clinton Portis to show up.
9. San Diego Chargers - Shawne Merriman probably spent his bye week with Kendra.
10. Jacksonville Jaguars - Is Quinn Gary the most obscure backup QB in the League? Had anyone heard of him prior to Monday?
11. Seattle Seahawks - Blah.
12. Tampa Bay Bucs - Their RBs are hurt, and now WR Mark Clayton is injured. How does Mr. Clean Jeff Garcia avoid such problems?
13. Carolina Panthers - If it ain’t broke … start Vinny T!
14. Baltimore Ravens - Still shocked some of you think Boller > McNair. The only decisions where Boller has trumped Air McNair are ones that don’t involve football.
15. Denver Broncos - Ugly, lucky win against Pittsburgh.
16. Detroit Lions - Are you there God? It’s me, Jon. Can you help our DBs contain Devin Hester this week? Thanks bud. Always, Kitna.
17. Chicago Bears - Cedric Benson is closing in on 1,000 yards this season - only 584 to go.
18. Kansas City Chiefs - Priest or Larry?
19. Arizona Cardinals - Matt Leinart sure is a swell guy.
20. Cleveland Browns - It’s never a lock when the Browns venture on the road. Yes, this includes at St. Louis.
21. Houston Texans - Catch the fever: Sage Rosenfels to Kevin Walter … touchdown!
22. Cincinnati Bengals - Upset special: Cincy hosts Pittsburgh this weekend, and wins.
23. Philadelphia Eagles - Andy Reid’s kid is out of jail, so maybe he can help turn the offense around.
24. New Orleans Saints - Can’t wait for the USA Today cover story when the Saints beat another crappy team - San Francisco - Sunday.
25. Buffalo Bills - Wins in 2007 for rookie QBs: Trent Edwards 1, Brady Quinn + JaMarcus Russell = 0.
26. Oakland Raiders - Anyone notice where Russell is on the depth chart? Left out.
27. Minnesota Vikings - Things you never thought you’d hear: yes, Kelly Holcomb sounds like a good idea.
28. San Francisco 49ers - RBs having a better season than Frank Gore: Derrick Ward, Cedric Benson and Desean Foster. Good thing we never bought the hype.
29. New York Jets - Our favorite Jets player of all-time is Freeman McNeil.
30. Atlanta Falcons - Chris Chandler ain’t walking through that door.
31. St. Louis Rams - Rookie RB Brian Leonard probably feels he’s reliving his Rutgers undergrad years.
32. Miami Dolphins - Dropping them to the basement because they’ve now lost RB Ronnie Brown for the year, enhancing the chance at a winless season.

here’s the thing, and i keep saying it — you can run ALL DAY against the giants, but no one does. look at last week. gore had 88 yards on 14 carries. that eagles game, philly averaged about 10 yards a carry. but for some reason, teams keep trying to throw the ball 50 times against the giants when all the giants try to do is kill the QB. it’s boggling.
i say go chatman.

why is it that every NFL ranking thing has baltimore that high up? has anyone even watched any of their games? theyre fucking awful. AWFUL. jets, cards, 49ers, rams, thats who theyve beaten. they got beat by cincy, destroyed by the browns, and lost to buffalo. 14? give me a break.
also pittsburgh at 6? again, who have they beaten? browns with charlie frye, buffalo, 49ers, and a terrible seahawks team (11?). another joke of a team, easy to look great against terrible qb’s (w. exception for hasselbeck). ugh, their schedule is so god damned creampuffed that they’ll probably go to the playoffs.
please note: browns fan, slight bias.

What a sorry NFL season this year. I mean, the sheer amount of BAD teams is overwhelming. There’s two really really good teams, three or four good teams, and the rest range from halfway mediocre to embarassingly awful.
October 23rd, 2007 at 12:40 pm
spencer, who are you going to put above them? Of course they haven’t beaten “anyone”, you can say that just about every single team, since almost two thirds of the league completely sucks.
October 23rd, 2007 at 12:43 pm
LOST will start in February. Should be something like 16 straight weeks with new episodes.
October 23rd, 2007 at 12:44 pm
The Giants at 4? As a Giant fan, I am scared at these rankings and hearing Peter King say the Giants are almost even with the Cowboys in the NFC. This season has 9-7 written all over it..
October 23rd, 2007 at 12:45 pm
Now granted Power Rankings are always subjective and ultimately pointless but what has changed since the Packers won at Giants Stadium 35-13 aside from the G-Men got to start playing some of the worst teams in the league?
October 23rd, 2007 at 1:05 pm
Not that it really matters BUT…
How do you rank TB ahead of the lions a day after the lions beat them pretty soundly (proving their hapless O is even worse than Detroit’s non-existent D)?
I think TBL has Harris poll potential.
October 23rd, 2007 at 1:13 pm
It is definitely a different Giants team, as evidence by their come from behind victory and goal line stand in Washington. But even as a fan I am not as high on them as number 4. I have a lot of trouble thinking that they are better than quite a few AFC teams.
October 23rd, 2007 at 1:13 pm
Trent Edwards has two wins.
October 23rd, 2007 at 1:14 pm
Marshawn Lynch loves Applebees
October 23rd, 2007 at 1:15 pm
I wouldn’t kill Gore too much, not yet anyway - he is playing on the worst offense in the entire league, with no help whatsoever around him, and still putting up decent numbers.
/picked him No. 4 overall in fantasy and still waiting for a huge game.
October 23rd, 2007 at 1:15 pm
s1rweeze- you are absolutely right. This season is a terrible season. there’s Indy and NE, everyone else isn’t very good. Dallas? nope. NY Giants- talk about a Cream Puff schedule. GB- maybe with a RB, but not without one.
As much as I hate to say this, the season really consists of Pats-Colts. Nov. 2nd and the AFC title game.
Only Vince Young can save the season, by beating the Patriots in the playoffs. He’s the one talent that can overcome them and the Colts and pout a team on his back.
October 23rd, 2007 at 1:16 pm
over pit? easily SD, Jax, Washington.
ugh, i kept thinking about it but then i looked at the rest of the league…honestly, i have no idea where to rank teams, they all are putrid except for the 2 big dogs.
basically, i just hate baltimore and pittsburgh. espeically pittsburgh…and baltimore. god they both suck something incredibly fierce.

The Lynch bit was a shot fired directly at Willis. After saying that the Bills should move to Toronto he said that all there was to do in Buffalo was play video games and go to Applebee’s. Somehow he managed to at least impregnate 1 or 2 girls doing that.

Rankings are completely irrelevant. What must not be overlooked however, is in that calendar of lovely ladies, they are all asked a series of questions which you can read while mopping up your keyboard. The questions range from Fave food & movies etc and culminate with “Dream Date”. The majority of the ladies answered the final question with something along the lines of “flowers-dinner-dancing-romantic”, however centerfold and cover model Allie replied with the absolutely stunning “April 25th, because it’s not too hot and not too cold so all you need is a light jacket”. Wow. Just, wow.
October 23rd, 2007 at 1:26 pm
Jim,
I think that saying the 49′ers offense is the worst, is a bit too harsh. They have Alex Smith, Gore, and Vernon Davis. Have you seen the Vikings offense? Purple Jesus and…….. I rest my case.
October 23rd, 2007 at 1:32 pm
Week 16….Maimi @ New England….The Patriots will have it wrapped up in week 15 vs. Jets…(Probably Sooner)
Q: Will Miami help preserve their own undefeated season again (see 1985 Bears)?
Q: If NE gets past them….do they get past the “suddenly resurgent (but really havent beat anyone)” NYG in week 17….or will NYG care since they have a WC locked up by then?
NYG against winning teams who have a 15-4 overall (2 losses by WAS) record is 1-2….In their other four wins the teams they play have a combined overall record of 6-20
I think this is why its safe to assume that Peter King is full of shit about the Giants being on the level of the Cowboys who are CLEARLY the class of the NFC….as a matter of fact, if Dallas somehow doesnt make it to the Super Bowl, it would be on the same level of the Yankees blowing 3-0 to the Red Sox in 2004

You take away the Pats and Colts and it looks just like the beautiful mess that’s college football this season…oh, except for the whole thing where the NFL has playoffs and crowns a true champion.
sammy - Props for even reading the models’ interests. I never would have seen that. Makes me proud to be Jayhawk.

i can’t remember an nfl season this bad. i mean teams, other than maybe six, are so bad they’d be lucky win an nfl europe division or they are ungodly boring to watch (nfc east sans dallass… which i hate with a passion).
the nfl is so bad this year i’ve actually watched reruns of college games on espnu. i haven’t watched a monday night game yet this year and i’ve only watched two sunday night games. man, is the nfl bad right now.
October 23rd, 2007 at 2:00 pm
Pittsburgh has owned Cincinnati on the road the last three years, when Cincy actually had a decent team, Pittsburgh definitely wins that game.
As a Niners fan I bought into the hype but had no idea the offense would regress as badly as it has. I would be happy with 8-8 at this point.
October 23rd, 2007 at 2:16 pm
The Lions were at home vs. TB. That’s at a neutral site, and Tampa’s the pick. Even with the injuries. The Detroit defense only shows up at home.
October 23rd, 2007 at 2:42 pm
How can you possibly have Ohio State #1?? They haven’t played anyone…oh wait. Sorry, my bad.
October 23rd, 2007 at 2:45 pm
By the way, good move to drop the Browns a spot after that brutal bye week.
October 23rd, 2007 at 3:18 pm
You cant put the Pats ahead of the Colts til they beat them.
October 23rd, 2007 at 3:53 pm
In that first game as bad as the Giants D was, their offense played well and was giving Dallas fits. At 38-35 in the 4th and the way the game was flowing, The Giants were one 3rd Down stop away from getting back the ball and winning that game. Of course as had been the case the entire time, the Giants pass defense was horrible on that play and some 4th for 5th string WR catches a slant for a TD against RW McQuarters. The Giants D has improved, because Umenyiora is healthy, Strahan has played himself into shape, the disaster known as Kiawanuka in pass coverage has been aborted, Madison is healthy, and Ross has replaced Webster, which is an upgrade. On the other hand, Roy Williams is still playing safety for the Cowboys. The Giants have definitely played themselves up to where the Cowboys were.

spencer096: We’ll see how terrible the Seahawks are in 2 weeks when they mop the floor with the Browns.

QSCB - It’s too bad John Brown didn’t take care of all of you slaving Bushwhackers.
October 23rd, 2007 at 6:45 pm
You’re a Browns fan Spencer? I never would have guessed. Washington over the Steelers? I guess the rousing ass-whipping over the Browns doesn’t count since it was with Charlie Frye at the helm, and now the world-renowned Derek Anderson is their QB. Christ, what a bad week. Now I’m retorting to a Browns fan’s taunt.
Although it does sound like we can all agree that there are two great teams (at the moment), a bunch of teams with question marks, and then a group of teams that completely suck balls.
