We took a week off from NFL Power Rankings but we are back with week 14! Road teams grab 11 wins this week and we are back to square one as far as random crap goes with the NFL. My fantasy team is a bust with Peyton "I decided to have a sh*tty year" Manning and my pick'ems are all in the toilet. Other than that, life is good!
1. NY Giants
2. Tennessee
3. Pittsburgh*
4. Tampa Bay
5. Carolina
6. Indianapolis
7. Baltimore
8. Atlanta
9. Dallas
10. NY Jets
11. Denver
12. New England
13. Minnesota
14. Miami
15. Washington
16. Arizona
17. Philadelphia
18. Chicago
19. New Orleans
20. Green Bay
21. Buffalo
22. Houston

27. Oakland
28. Kansas City
29. Seattle
30. St. Louis
31. Cincinnati
32. Detroit
*The Pittsburgh Steelers looked damn good up in Boston didn't they? I almost threw them in front of Tennessee for that number 2 spot but something just isn't feeling right. Tennessee still seems magical, but don't count these Steelers out. Super Bowl predictions anyone?

Man...da Skins are gonna miss the playoffs :(
Tough division that's all. They've had some injuries down the stretch too haven't they?
What matters is "The Skins will miss playoffs", not if they have had injuries.
Portis has been banged up and Springs missed some action, but they should still have made it. Still got an outside shot, but gotta get hot!
Just looking for an excuse for all those Redskin homers that trashed all over me for ranking them low as hell all season. :)
Looks like I...was...right...again?
wow i dont understand why the titans are underated yeah sure they are atop a lot of power rankings because of their record but no one i hear has them going to the superbowl, it astounds me, yes they have only faced like 5 teams over .500 but the point is they are 11-1 their not 8-4 or 9-3 they beat the bad teams down convincingly. they are the type of team to keep it close and let their defense win for them and still and the second best net points in the game. but anyway i see it going like this giants and cardinals, huge laugh i know, but every team has their day, the laugh last year would have been the giants beating the patriots in the superbowl and look what happened.but i see colts and titans in the afc championship and sadly the titans losing, just becuase of team matchups. but i see the colts taking the superbowl 37-30 big brother is gonna teach little brother a little something something.
Kellex,
You weren't right. You had the Redskins in the bottom half of the league. No one was arguing that they were a top 5 team, but they certainly are better than the bottom half of the league. You were wrong. Again. Shocker.
Colts vs. Giants would be an incredible SB. We'll see, but I tend to agree with you on that one.
Oh Anonymous, they aren't really a top tier team. Never were. So actually, I was right. Again.
Kellex,
Why don't you argue my statement. I never said they were a top tier team. You had them ranked around 20th in the league earlier in the season. That was wrong. You were wrong. I would put them 12th. Not a top tier team but not in the bottom half of the league either. You were wrong.
How am I wrong on a subjective power ranking? I picked them outside of the playoff picture and I was right. Enough said? (watch them make the playoffs now) :P
Do they belong in the bottom half of the league? No. You were wrong. Stop changing the argument to the playoff race or a "top tier." Secondly, they aren't outside of the playoff picture. They are 1 game out of a wild card spot and I wouldn't start talking trash just yet. They have made end of the season runs into the playoffs 2 of the last 3 years. You just like to talk bad about the Redskins and commonly forget to think before you type. It is OK. Just work on it.
p.s.- You were ranking the team low when they were healthy. They have suffered numerous key injuries that have influenced the outcome of recent games. Did you know that these guys were going to get injured when you ranked the team so low before. Maybe you did. You are amazing.
I actually did know that. Glad you finally figured that out!
P.S.! Enough with the weak attempts at insulting me. I love the banter, but don't go all Oakland Raider fan on me.
There is no attempt to insult you. You are just getting called out for being wrong. Accept it.
good lord with the arguements. simply put the redskins arent making the playoffs, they arent a top 10 team, but they are better than over 15 teams in this league. injury excuses are pointless every team has injuries, patriot fans could moan about their key piece being out all season, but thats no excuse for why the defense has been stuggling. every team has injuries, its about if your a good enough team (being depth-wise or emotional strong enough to get through it)
The Skins got a shot at the playoffs. If they win @SF, @Cin, and Philly, they will be 10-6. Those are games they should win if they deserve to get in. Maybe they will surprise us and win @ BAL tomorrow. Dallas has a tough schedule so could struggle. It really could come down to tiebreakers among some 10-6 teams for the final wildcard which just says how tough the NFC is. The big news here though is that kellex has a hater, congrats kellex.
I know I like my hater too. He shows up every week to promote his Redskins and each week they just keep disappointing.
Plus the "being called out" comment is about as classic as it gets. Love it!
