    2011 Playoff NFL Power Rankings

    1. New York Giants (12-7) - Previously: #1 - Forum member Migelini, the dumbest person alive, was a bit of a disappointment today. All he had to say was this:

      i theink 49s gong to supergame. what all you theinks.

      Speaking of those challenged by the English language, I thought this was absolutely hilarious - check out Ed Hochuli's 57-second explanation of the new NFL overtime rules in verse.

    2. New England Patriots (15-3) - Previously: #2 - Three random things:

      1. Who the hell did Shannon Sharpe pick in the Patriots-Ravens game? I was watching CBS prior to kickoff, and each analyst offered their selection, as usual. When it was Sharpe's turn, he said:

      uewghw bov 8ew akbfuobknboriskl sdkjbei ho ebei Jacksonville regherg o lnvo dsu ou HVuh iurbhn BREOOW Jaguars wroighrwiog rwoier wg elr ebhtbi nel.

      Am I nuts, or did he pick the Jaguars to win that game?

      2. Speaking of CBS' pre-game show, I couldn't believe they had James Brown talk to the e-Trade baby. What sellouts. It's amazing what these networks will do for money so their CEOs can buy that eighth mansion or 15th yacht that they need so desperately.

      I have an account with e-Trade, and I'm really considering transferring my funds to another online broker because of that bit. That was disgusting.

      3. On a lighter note, I got this text from Awesome Kelly in Arizona on Thursday night:

      I am confident the Ravens will win Sunday. They saved themselves for that game. I even bet a Pats fan a night of drinking and didn't take the points because points are for sissies. Quote me on that.

      Why do I get the feeling that Awesome Kelly in Arizona will be vandalizing Billy Cundiff's house sometime in the near future?



    3. San Francisco 49ers (14-4) - Previously: #5 - Poor Kyle Williams. I hope Niner fans aren't too harsh on him because he was just filling in for someone. It'd be like blaming a substitute teacher for the class failing a state-wide exam. That would be silly - even if the substitute teacher spilled coffee on the Scantrons, or something.

      Anyway, let's go to Notes from NFL.com GameCenter - a list of a few stupid comments I read on NFL.com's GameCenter and my thoughts on them:

      1. "bardy is my cusin.... no joke.... he teachd me hwo ta trow da ball.....LOLZ JUS KIDDDDDDDDINNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!! LOLZ!"

      Wow, and here I thought this guy was serious about having a cousin named Bardy.

      2. "spekin of fake fans we all know hawkballz is really a 49er fan. duanebrew 2 b exact. oh an who uses the word puddlez? is that supposed to b sly? u jus sound like a ho mer amigo. thats all"

      This is true. Anyone who has used the word "puddlez" throughout the course of history has been sly. Don't believe me? Richard Nixon used the word "puddlez" five times during Watergate. Fact.

      3. "patriot fans are all white new englanders. their inherrited $ fuels their greed which makes them do evil things like racism. (trust me i lived in new hampshire for 2 years) which actually makes THEM and their fans DUMB AS ROCKS. I hope to see the Giants repeat against brady-bunch. btw i also lived in pittsburgh pa and it is WAY better then new england (people in new hampshire used to ask me what black people are like and stuff they ARE racist.)"

      I disagree with only one point. Racism is not evil. Racism makes rich people feel better about themselves, so therefore racism is a good thing.

    4. Baltimore Ravens (13-5) - Previously: #6 - When Billy Cunwhiffed from 32 yards, I immediately went to his Wikipedia page. I was expecting some epic changes to his page, given that people wrote the following on Nate Kaeding's wiki a couple of years ago:

      Nate Kaeding has been labled the biggest Pedophile, choke artist, catamite, p***s licking p***y in the history of football.

      And...

      Kaeding has also been known to wear womens lingerie before important games to help him focus on missing critical chip shots. Nate Kaeding is also Norv Turner's lifemate.

      There wasn't anything that legendary, but the following four changes were made:

      4. Billy losses afc championship for ravens, wide left. This proves he freaking sucks. Pats to the Superbowl!

      3. On January 22, 2012, Cundiff missed a relatively easy 35-yard field goal against the New England Patriots, causing his team to lose the game and an opportunity at the Superb Owl.

      2. Ray Finkle (born March 30, 1980 in Valley Center, California) is an American football placekicker for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League.

      1. On January 22, 2012, Cundiff missed a 35-yard field goal against the New England Patriots, which sealed a Super Bowl XLVI berth for the Patriots.What an a**hole

    Hmm, where have all the boasting Niner fans gone after bragging up a storm and acting offended at the ranking and predictions? Most likely partnering off in stalls of public restrooms for a little "consolation". Were those botched returns recovered by the Giants "takeaways" or "giveaways"? Since you like splitting hairs. And hams.

    If Walt indeed hates the Niners, I imagine it's not because of the team itself, it's the fan base.

    I thought the analysis on this site was much better before you felt it necessary to clog up the 'analysis' with idiotic statements from the Gamecenter. Please, make a 'Gamecenter' comedy forum on your site...don't fill your whole site with crap...

    What makes you think the Giants will have better luck than any of the other teams the 49ers played this year (including...the Giants)? Expect 4 turnovers. When you knock a guy unconscious, I think that counts as taking the ball away more than having it given to you.

    During the regular season, the 49ers were 2nd in points allowed, 11th in points scored, with a +28 turnover differential.
    The Giants were 25th in points allowed, 9th in points scored, with a +7 turnover differential.

    The 49ers 10 turnovers tied for the least of ALL TIME. They allowed 3.5014 yards per carry, 1st in the league. Their special teams is elite in every phase.

    When they win the Super Bowl, people will still be saying they aren't any good. Oh well. I am happy.

    So, the Giants are above the Patriots because they beat them head to head, but the 49ers are below the Saints and Giants because...they beat them head to head. Douche-y. At least you haven't spent the entire year making terrible predictions about everything.

    I'm confused. Walt has the Giants higher than the 49ers here, and picks the Giants to win Sunday, but he has the '9ers at #31 on his draft board, implying that they will go to the SB. Which is it, Walt? 49ers or Giants?

    Btw, EXCELLENT trolling, keeping the Saints above the Niners.

    I think I might have to stop reading this website...

    How do you rank the Saints ahead of the Niners when the Niners freaking beat them in tremendous fashion????!?!11???!11!!!??

    Probably one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. Even stupider than the BCS rankings system.

    I think it's Walter who has been taking too many sips from Derek Anderson's magic flask.

    I don't think it's ever been more clear that Walter hates the 49ers...

    If they were to win the super bowl I'd be willing to bet he'd rank them number 3 or 4.

    I doubt you're sober enough by the time the westcoast games get played. The Niners weren't 'given' five turnovers they took them. You also keep talking about what a terrible year Dashon Golson is having at safety in you're draft predictions even though he's been a beast all year and made the ProBowl. When the Giants and the Niners last played the Niners were 7-1 and the Giants were 6-2. Since that game which the Niners won 27-20 the Niners went 6-2(7-2 after the Saints win) and the Giants went 3-5(5-5 after two playoff wins against the never show up Falcons and the worst game in two years Packers) Good luck with that Giants prediction.

    I've been a reader on this site for several years, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to take anything Walter says seriously. His credibility has been on a steady decline since this past offseason, when one of his many hilariously bad predictions included the 49ers finishing 4-12 and having one of the worst defenses in the league. Now, he inexplicably has the Saints ranked ahead of the Niners in his power rankings, although I'm sure that's just because Saturday's game was fixed or something.
