2010 NFL Power Rankings: Playoffs
Week 20 Fantasy Performers, Defenses, League Leaders

Goodell is going to get #3PETE fired! Seattle will never be anything under Carroll - he will screw it up. Last year was as much luck for the SeaHacks as anything. SeaHacks won't be undefeated at home, and will stink AGAIN on the road.

@Evil Weevil. Hey, Dude, chill out. Surf's up!

I think it's time to start looking for a new football site, this one has run it's course. I've been following this site for years, but the last 2 to 3 have been excruciating.



Walt,

I don't know what happened, but your writing has become lazy and sloppy. Your prejudices for and against certain teams are so transparent anymore that it's hard to take anything you say seriously. I enjoyed your site for a while, but I think it's time to say goodbye. And to top it off, you've become even more arrogant and full of yourself. You always were a tad bit self centered, but not to the point of being distracting. Claiming to be capable of ruining someone's draft stock kind of soured me a bit. I hope you're able to get yourself out of your funk, but unfortunately I don't think I'll be around to see it.

Best of luck.

@Wrong again. Cudoes to the parents for giving their kid the correct name.

@CHRKinRAL. Gabbert was the man for the previous regime. Still, if they didn't believe in him, they'd get someone else. He just has to show everyone what he's made of. Noone knows but Blaine.

Lol at everyone overrating the Dolphins. The NFL's version of the Toronto Blue Jays

@Dro. Cowboys need a new GM.

Evening, NFL fans. I'm a Detroit Lions fan. This power ranking really gives me the woolies. Lions has a bad year, and the doubters run around saying, "They suck!" Well, that's not the case. They had a setback. This year, I'm predicting the Lions will reach the playoffs, easily. Ranking them twenty-first is commentary about history. That's not good enough.

As for ranking the Vikings sixteenth -- well, that's about right. Ponder is OK. AP is the man, but can't do it himself. Coach, GM, both good. Aging defense, lack of WRs, not so good. Yeah, sixteenth is about right. So is ranking the Packers fifth. They're showing the other teams how it's done. OK, I get it.

But ranking the Bears twelfth? This is where I have to say, "Put the crack pipe down, son." They just cut Urlacher (Like they cut Olin Kruetz). They're O-line is Swiss cheese. Their defense is old and grey -- and they just put in new coach and GM. Twelfth? Really? Bears will finish dead last. Not a chance.

That's my prediction, and I'm sticking to it!

Ran

By record, the Cowboys were the 15th team last year, despite having Rob Ryan around, and loads of injuries.

Whether you like their draft value or not, the team essentially lost nobody, replaced their DC with a better one, and should be at least a bit healthier.

Logically, that drops them 5 spots in the "rankings"...that should also put their record at 7-9.

Love them, hate them, anywhere in between...but why should the team be worse next year? What's the justification, beyond schadenfreude and trolling?

Also: Dallas was 2-2 in November...not great. It was 3-2 in December, despite having half the defense out due to injury...not crappy. Dallas had a massively important game against the Saints, and Romo was brilliant in it. Boy, you're lazy...

Walter could have mentioned that instead of grabbing Austin and Manuel with their first two picks, the Bills turned those two picks into four and grabbed Manuel, Woods, Alonso, and Gragg.

Walter could also have mentioned that multiple sources (with far more insider knowledge that Walter) have predicted that Manuel would not have been available for Bills to take in the 2nd round. But no, Walter is Walter for a reason.

Walter has to be the laziest writer, what is this garbage?

Why do you keep insisting that the Jags GM is intent on building around Gabbert? The draft class for QBs sucked this year. He built the rest of the team up well. He knows its a 2 or 3 year process to fix the old GMs mistakes. They will get a new QB next year. But you will still probably spend all next season harping on about Gabbert sucking, and Andy Reid being fat. You seem to get stuck in ruts on your opinions and it is getting old.

Sorry Walter, I only date my fellow jews. Also, you're a f@ggot. Your girlfriend is a trashbag whore, too.

Walt, in a future Steelers write-up could you please have a conversation between Mensa members and former Steelers Rashard Mendenhall and Mike Wallace?

You're right, Christian Ponder won't perform better because of Jennings and Patterson. It will be because he has an extra year of experience and only his second full NFL season. As Vikings fan, I understand the skepticism, but Ponder is far from a lost cause. At least for now.
