Continue reading →: Washington Redskins: 2013 Week 11 NFL Power Rankings (#23)
Last week: 23 (+0) Record: 3-6 The Redskins are at 3-6, which is right where they were last season when they ripped off 7 straight wins and won the division. The difference this year is that their remaining schedule is harder and their team isn’t as good. Last season, they’re…

Last week: 24 (+0) Record: 3-6 Dick LeBeau is now 19-2 against rookie quarterbacks in his career after befuddling EJ Manuel and the Bills last week, in a 23-10 loss that wasn’t even as close as that (Buffalo’s touchdown was in garbage time). Manuel completed 22 of 39 for 155…

Continue reading →: Miami Dolphins: 2013 Week 11 NFL Power Rankings (#25)
Last week: 25 (+0) Record: 4-5 The Incognito/Martin situation and the loss of two starters on the offensive line were a big part of it, but the Dolphins’ loss to the Buccaneers was largely a result of this team’s lack of talent. GM Jeff Ireland should be fired, but not…

Continue reading →: New York Giants: 2013 Week 11 NFL Power Rankings (#26)
Last week: 26 (+0) Record: 3-6 Sure, the Giants have won 3 straight, but they were against the Raiders, Vikings, and Eagles, who haven’t won at home in 10 straight games. They weren’t particularly convincing in any of them. That being said, they are in the worst division in football…

Continue reading →: St. Louis Rams: 2013 Week 11 NFL Power Rankings (#27)
Last week: 28 (+1) Record 4-6 Since 1989, 5 teams have won a game by 25 or more despite losing the first down battle by 9 or more. 2 of them are the 2013 Rams. That’s not sustainable. The Rams will probably only be favored once more going forward, at…

Continue reading →: Atlanta Falcons: 2013 Week 11 NFL Power Rankings (#28)
Last week: 27 (-1) Record: 2-7 Matt Ryan is actually doing a very good job this season, as the Falcons are moving the chains at a 75% rate, above average, despite problems on the offensive line and injuries to his weapons. However, there’s nothing he can do about the defense,…

Continue reading →: Oakland Raiders: 2013 Week 11 NFL Power Rankings (#29)
Last week: 29 (+0) Record: 3-6 The league seems to have figured out Terrelle Pryor. Over his past 4 games, he’s completed 61 of 120 for 714 yards, 1 touchdown, and 8 interceptions. The Raiders blew one of their best chances to win another game the rest of the way,…

Continue reading →: Minnesota Vikings: 2013 Week 11 NFL Power Rankings (#30)
Last week: 30 (+0) Record: 2-7 In his last two games, Christian Ponder has completed 42 of 58 for 410 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. However, you have to remember he was facing two defenses in Dallas and Washington that are among the worst in the NFL and he…

Continue reading →: Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 2013 Week 11 NFL Power Rankings (#31)
Last week: 31 (+0) Record: 1-8 Like the Jaguars, the Buccaneers were going to win a game at some point and when the distracted and overrated Dolphins rode into town, it presented an excellent opportunity for them to win. The Buccaneers’ win was more impressive than the Jaguars’ because they…

Continue reading →: Jacksonville Jaguars: 2013 Week 11 NFL Power Rankings (#32)
Last week: 32 (+0) Record: 1-8 As I said, the Jaguars were going to win a game at some point. It’s very, very hard to go 0-16. That win doesn’t change my opinion on the team. They’re still a very, very bad football team who was able to take advantage…
