Continue reading →: Green Bay Packers: Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#13)
Last week: 14 (+1) Record: 3-3 I’m not saying the Packers are the 13th best team in the league. They didn’t deserve to lose to Seattle or Indianapolis. However, they did and I’m doing this based on what record I think a given team will finish with. Every year, one…

Last week: 7 (-7) Record: 3-3 Firing defensive coordinator Juan Castillo and replacing him with underrated defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, previously the secondary coach, will make a difference. Bowles coordinated the league’s #6 defense in Miami last year and was named interim Head Coach after Tony Sparano was fired. The…

Last week: 12 (-3) Record: 2-3 Well, at least Jason Garrett didn’t ice his own kicker this time. However, he repeated one mistake from that infamous icing his own kicker game. In that game against Arizona, I would argue the biggest mistake was not making sure the Cowboys could run…

Continue reading →: Pittsburgh Steelers: Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#16)
Last week: 10 (-6) Record: 2-3 Since 2009, the Steelers are 7-9 in games without Troy Polamalu and allowed 21.9 points per game. With him, they are 27-8, allowing 14.4 points per game, with him. That’s not all him, but a lot of that is him. He’s their only irreplaceable…

Last week: 17 (+5) Record: 3-3 The Redskins might be a little underrated right now. They haven’t lost any of their 3 games by more than a touchdown and in all 3 losses, they lost a significant player to injury mid game who is now healthy. Against St. Louis, they…

Continue reading →: St. Louis Rams: Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#18)
Last week: 18 (+1) Record: 3-3 I’m moving the Rams up despite their loss because I think I underrated them last week. I thought Sam Bradford would struggle without several starting offensive linemen and without Danny Amendola like he did last year. It sure looked like he would after he…

Continue reading →: Indianapolis Colts: Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#19)
Last week: 17 (-2) Record: 2-3 The Colts are incredibly banged up defensively and that was clearly evident against the Jets as they couldn’t stop the mediocre Shonn Greene, who rushed for 161 yards and 3 touchdowns on 32 attempts, after combined for 217 yards and a touchdown on 76…

Continue reading →: Buffalo Bills: Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#20)
Last week: 20 (+0) Record: 3-3 I take schedule into account with these power rankings, which is why I always have the Bills higher than most of higher than their level of talent. They’ve be fortunate enough to be in the AFC East and play their non-divisional games against the…

Continue reading →: Arizona Cardinals: Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#21)
Last week: 16 (-5) Record: 4-2 It was also a matter time before Kevin Kolb broke. An injury prone behind that offensive line with an offense that passes that often, it was inevitable. Fun fact about that offensive line (or not so fun if you’re a Cardinals fan): offensive tackles…

Continue reading →: Detroit Lions: Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#22)
Last week: 23 (+1) Record: 2-3 The Lions finally won last week, but the NFC is loaded. The NFC is 19-9 against the AFC this year. You’re going to have to assume, as an NFC team, that you’ll have to at least win 10 games to get into the playoffs…
