T-Rac’s Power Rankings: Week 14

December 15th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | No Comments | Filed in T-Rac Wrap

So, I usually come out with an “Evaluating Vince Young’s play” post on Tuesday. However, he didn’t play much during the Rams and what there is to evaluate is more of the same and doesn’t feel worth it. So at that point I tried to think of an idea for a post and came up with nothing. As a result, you get Power Rankings. YAYY!!!

So, with that rousing introduction, here come T-RAC’S POWER RANKINGS:

  1. New Orleans Saints (13-0): Uhhhh…. they beat everybody and Drew Brees is playing a lot better than Peyton Manning. Why? Not because he is better, but because his supporting cast is much better which means he has the better team.
  2. Indianapolis Colts (13-0): Fine, they’re #2. They are still undefeated. However, removing your starters makes it harder to remain undefeated. They will lose.
  3. San Diego Chargers (10-3): Maybe Norv Turner isn’t such a bad coach after all…. HAHAHAHAHA just kidding. But in all seriousness, I think they’d crush Minnesota.
  4. Green Bay Packers (9-4): Best defense in the NFL. Their Offensive Line is finally figuring out how to keep Rodgers upright for 4 plays a game, and that seems to be enough. I like this team a lot. Let’s just ignore I am talking up my preseason Super Bowl pick.
  5. Minnesota Vikings (11-2): I hate this team. I hate them so much. So so much. The Favre collapse is coming… Just wait.
  6. Philadelphia Eagles (9-4): For some reason, I feel like this team has lost a lot more games than 4. Also, I still think there is a really good team in there just waiting to erupt all over the NFL. Just peak all over everybody.
  7. Denver Broncos (8-5): It feels rather odd to put this team up this high, but there isn’t a team below them that I would bet on beating the Broncos. This includes Cincinnati, who I am rather down on.
  8. New England Patriots (8-5): Still a scary team. Oh how I wish I could trust this collapse. But I don’t. This team is still one that gives me nightmares. Call it the aftereffects of 59-0. Maybe post-traumatic stress disorder? I don’t know. But I still get this feeling in my gut that Masshole fans will be talking about the specialness of this team before the end of the season.
  9. Miami Dolphins (7-6): One of the best coaching staffs in the NFL has readjusted once again to their circumstances and now run the I-Form and the accompanying Play Action pass about as well as any team in the NFL. When did Chad Henne become good? This team will be a tough out.
  10. Cincinnati Bengals (9-4): I am down on these guys. Big time. Why? Because Carson Palmer all of a sudden sucks, and all of a sudden the win at Pittsburgh doesn’t look like that big of a deal. (more…)

T-Rac’s 2009 NFL Midseason Report

November 10th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | 4 Comments | Filed in T-Rac

So, every website and their mother (websites have moms? Yes.) has NFL Power Rankings. They’re totally meaningless and are almost never accurate (if one regards the playoffs as a true test). So, knowing this, I give you the T-Rac version of Power Rankings for the halfway point of the season.

  1. New Orleans Saints (8-0): Their closest game this year has been 8 points, and that was on a late bullshit field goal. They’re my midseason favorite to win the Super Bowl, and their DEFENSE has scored more Touchdowns than the Browns Offense. The official tally: NO Defense 7 Cleveland Offense 5.
  2. Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2): They had a rough patch earlier this year, but Polamalu is back and, not surprisingly, the Defense came back with his return. On offense, Big Ben is still a top 5 QB, they have good Wide Receivers, and their Offensive Line is improved. When you add Rashard Mendenhall and a good running game to that offense then I think they’re better than any team in the AFC. The Colts sure as hell wouldn’t beat them right now.
  3. Indianapolis Colts (8-0): They’re good. Peyton Manning is great. However, they keep just barely getting by teams that the Saints would be blowing out. And as much as I hate cliches about the running game, at some point you got to have one. Also, as good as their defense has played, I don’t trust them to continue that. They’re too small to stop a team from controlling the clock against them. Heck, that’s exactly what Miami did, they just weren’t quite good enough to finish the game.
  4. New England Patriots (6-2): They’re putting it together. I hate that. They scare me.
  5. Minnesota Vikings (7-1): This is where they are. I wanted to put them lower because I am just waiting for their collapse, but there isn’t any other teams left who I would pick to beat them right now. (more…)
