Doug’s NFL Power Poll - Week 16

1. PATRIOTS: If they’re up for MIA, Bill is the greatest coach ever
2. COLTS: Scored more and allowed fewer points than GB so it’s easy to put them here
3. PACKERS: Little concerned that Jackson ran for 143
4. COWBOYS: Everybody gets one let down - but only one
5. JAGUARS: Incredible win, but 10-4 still doesn’t crack the top 4
6. CHARGERS: PITT, SEA and NYG each lose while SD puts up 51 (they’re still out in the first round, though)
7. STEELERS: If they win out, they play CLE @ home in the playoffs
8. SEAHAWKS: I just can’t tell who’s better between them or NYG - since SEA will beat NYG in the 1st round, I’ll take No. 8
9. GIANTS: Could have ended WASH’s season and instead put more questions in their own mind
10. BROWNS: If they win a playoff game, I need to recant about ol’ Romeo
11. BUCS: Much better, but still losing to WASH in the 1st round
12. VIKINGS: Their magical season ends this weekend
13. TITANS: Remember when winning at Arrowhead was a big win?
14. TEXANS: What a year! 7-3 outside the division and will end up 0-6 in it
15. REDSKINS: @ MIN and vs. a DAL team that will be resting their starters - I smell conference semi’s
16. SAINTS: Brees threw four INC’s
17. BILLS: Please, don’t use the weather as an excuse, you’re from Buffalo!
18. BRONCOS: I know they beat BUF, but this team’s going down hill faster
19. PANTHERS: Would have bet the farm they’d lose to SEA
20. EAGLES: This makes sense: Only two divisional wins and they were @ DAL and @ WAS
21. CARDINALS: The organization is just not ready to win December road games that determine playoff births (I think they will be next year)
22. LIONS: This isn’t a collapse, they weren’t that good to begin with
23. BEARS: Lovie is half the coach I thought he was
24. RAIDERS: I will bring an explosive offense to this franchise = 104 yards passing
25. BENGALS: You beat STL and KC, but can’t beat SF?
26. RAMS: Is a 50 percent completion percentage really a difficult request?
27. 49ERS: It gets difficult to rank when 25, 26, & 27 beat each other up
28. CHIEFS: Best home field advantage and they get two wins?
29. JETS: I’m shocked it was only a 10 point loss
30. FALCONS: They’re just a waste of time
31. DOLPHINS: UNBELIEVEABLE!
32. RAVENS: I know they’ve won 4 games, but you get dropped for being gutless

    Please don’t tell me you’re serious when you justify ranking the Colts ahead of the Packers because they scored more and allowed fewer points. The Colts 402 pts scored vs. the Packers 394 (8 total for those counting) is less than one point per game. Same goes for the defense 231 (Colts) and 243 (Packers). At least choose something sensical, like opponent winning percentage where the Colts hold the edge (91-91) against the Packers (85-97). Considering the Colts play in the vastly agreed upon “superior” AFC, this is a more telling statistic. Besides, if you give back the TD that the NFL admitted the Packers should have gotten (http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2007/10/17/nfl-admits-mistakes-on-terrell-owens-bubba-franks-force-out-cat/), then it’s only a one point difference over the course of 14 games - Hardly a telling stat.

    While I’m on my soapbox, I really love listening to you guys (both Doug and Wolf) on my daily commute, but PLEASE stop saying “Jag-wires”!!! It’s pronounced “Jag-wahrs” …or “Jag-yoo-ars” if you’re a Limey.
