Continue reading →: San Diego Chargers: Week 9 NFL Power Rankings (#15)
Last week: 8 (-7) Record: 3-4 I’m not sure this is the same Philip Rivers anymore. I thought his high turnover rate from 2011 was an outlier and that he’d bounce back, especially since he played so much better in the 2nd half of last season (14 interceptions in games 1-8…

Last week: 11 (-5) Record: 3-4 A lot of people are saying that Andy Reid should stick with Michael Vick because he gives him the best chance of making the playoffs and that’s the only way to keep his job. Even if it’s true that Vick is their best short…

Last week: 16 (-1) Record: 3-4 The good news for the Cowboys is that they rank 8th in yards per play differential and 7th in rate of sustaining drives differential. The biggest issue, by far, has been turnover differential so far for them, as they have a turnover differential of…

Last week: 18 (-1) Record: 3-5 Robert Griffin had the worst game of his career, going 16 of 34 for 177 yards and a touchdown, last week against the Steelers, but you can’t really blame him. For one, he endured 7 drops. Two, Steelers’ defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau is a…

Continue reading →: Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Week 9 NFL Power Rankings (#19)
Last week: 19 (+6) Record: 3-4 A preseason underrated team of mine, the Buccaneers are now 3-4 with a +31 points differential and they have yet to lose by more than a touchdown all year. Josh Freeman is 82 of 143 (57.3%) for 1309 yards (9.2 YPA), 10 touchdowns, and…

Continue reading →: Detroit Lions: Week 9 NFL Power Rankings (#20)
Last week: 26 (+6) Nate Burleson getting hurt might have been the best thing that could happen to this offense. It forced the Lions to replace the mediocre Burleson, who was averaging 8.9 yards per catch and (5.6 yards per target), with explosive 2011 2nd round pick Titus Young and…

Last week: 21 (-1) Record: 3-5 I have a lot to write about the Patriots in their section, so I’m going to use this section to talk about the NFL in London. I just don’t think it’s a very good idea. It’s fine having one or two games per year…

Continue reading →: New Orleans Saints: Week 9 NFL Power Rankings (#22)
Last week: 19 (-3) Record: 2-5 I guess beating the Broncos is a lot harder than beating the Chargers and Buccaneers for a still overrated Saints team (heavy public action on New Orleans +6 last week). The rank 31st in the league in yards per play differential and 27th in…

Continue reading →: Arizona Cardinals: Week 9 NFL Power Rankings (#23)
Last week: 23 (-2) Record: 4-4 I wish Dennis Green was still the Cardinals’ coach. Then he could shout “we are who they thought we were!” I never believed in them. They’ve never been ranked higher than 15th in these Power Rankings, even when they were 4-0. This is what…

Continue reading →: New York Jets: Week 9 NFL Power Rankings (#24)
Last week: 24 (-1) Record: 3-5 I have no idea why they haven’t benched Mark Sanchez for Tim Tebow yet. Mark Sanchez is completing 53% of his passes. Only Brandon Weeden has a worse adjusted QB rating. The team is 3-5. They brought Tebow in to be an alternative for…
