WEEK ELEVEN (AND A HALF)

Obviously, we're struggling with the power rankings. We could do them on Tuesday mornings if the objective was merely to list the teams from top to bottom. Our preference is to put together an entertaining collection of 32 witty and/or semi-humorous comments about each team. But it takes time and effort, and we've only got so much time to do everything that needs to be done in order to keep the site moving. So for the second straight week, we've got to get them done, quickly. So we're offering up the rankings, with a description for each team in three words, or less.

Oh, and we're also including Thursday's games.

1. Colts (9-1): Mulligan.

2. Chargers (8-2): La. Dainian.

3. Bears (9-1): AFC wild card. [???]

4. Ravens (8-2): Won't last.

5. Cowboys (7-4): Super Bowl.

6. Patriots (7-3): Better under radar.

7. Chiefs (7-4): Underrated.

8. Broncos (7-4): Overrated.

9. Jaguars (7-4): Inconsistent.

10. Panthers (6-4): Late bloomers.

11. Saints (6-4): Clock strikes 12.

12. 49ers (5-5): Only 10:30.

13. Giants (6-4): Tiki, leave now.

14. Jets (5-5): Super Bowl XLIII.

15. Dolphins (5-6): Super Bowl XLI?

16. Seahawks (6-4): First-round loser.

17. Bengals (5-5): Home for holidays.

18. Falcons (5-5): "Playoffs?"

19. Steelers (4-6): Might last.

20. Eagles (5-5): Winds of change.

21. Packers (4-6): Better than expected.

22. Vikings (4-6): Where's Meathead?

23. Rams (4-6): Beginner's luck.

24. Browns (3-7): Getting closer.

25. Bills (4-6): Treading water. Badly.

26. Titans (3-7): Hope?

27. Commanders (3-7): Draft position.

28. Texans (3-7): Cursed?

29. Buccaneers (3-8): Draft a quarterback.

30. Cardinals (2-8): Contraction.

31. Raiders (2-8): Euthanasia.

32. Lions (2-9): Where's Euthanasia?

Cowboys Chargers Super Bowl would be amazing. DeMarcus Ware MVP with 2 sacks and a forced fumble, finally putting to rest the Ware vs. RoidMan debate.

Wishful thinking? Maybe. But very very possible with the way both teams have been playing lately.

Colts 9 - lost to Dallas. Man Law.

WHY NOT! Not to pick on you but I just don't understand why anyone doubt that the Cowboys will make the Superbowl this year.

Come on. We have the hottest QB in the league. And he's surrounded by a very good very deep team that happens to be fairly healthy.

If not us, WHO? I not puttin my money on the Bears, Carolina, Seatlle.
When we kick the livin snot out of NY, we will have the inside track on the number 2 seed.

Dallas v. SD should be a good one seeing as how they are so evenly matched.

I'd have to give LT & Gates the edge over our RB tandem and Witten, while Romo and our recievers have the edge over Rivers and their WRs.

Defenses should be pretty even.

The game may be decided by a field goal. :banghead:

Cowboys/Chargers is starting to look like the matchup to me too. While I'm sure it would be a great game, I don't like the idea of Slozell trying to limit Merriman the majority of the day. Could mean trouble.

I've only had the opportunity to watch two or three Charger's games this year, but from what I watched, Merriman was playing mostly strongside. The Chargers like to get Merriman matched up against a TE or a RB as much as possible (obviously). Merriman has had far fewer successes against tackles and/or guards.

I am thinking Boys and Pats.


Oh this would have some great story lines.

Romo vs. Brady

Bill vs. Bill

The Fading Old Dynasty (Patriots) vs. The Coming Dynasty (Cowboys ...thats right I'm calling dynasty) vs. The All Time Dynasty (cowboys) back to claim their title.


Plus I like our chances against the Patriots.

Anyone else besides me that doesn't understand that?

I think they are questioning whether the Colts could make the AFC wildcard becuase many of their wins are against sub-par competition.

Chicago is good, if they beat the Pats tomorrow they may prove they are the best in the NFC, but they are beatable just the same. If Dallas can win the division and secure a bye week then I like Dallas' chances of likely going into Soldier Field for the championship game.

Without jumping the gun it seems like destiny that the bears and Cowboys will meet for the right to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl.

San Diego vs. New England is my AFC Championship game prediction.
Chicago vs. Dallas is my NFC prophecy.
