Shredman Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 to early for power rankings to mean anything, but from what i have seen outa everyone, Falcons and Saints should both be top 5 teams...the AFC was suppose to be great with Pit NE SD and INDYright Now Falcons and Saints look better than any of those teams IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHODAT BEAST IN THE CELLAR Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 1 Baltimore RavensLast Week: 4Baltimore Ravens (2-0)It was a real debate on whether to elevate the Ravens or the Saints to the top spot this week. Both have featured dynamic offenses thus far, with defenses giving up about 25 points per game. But the Ravens get the nod, based on the quality of their Week 2 win. They won at San Diego against a healthy Philip Rivers. The Saints won at Philadelphia, with an injured Donovan McNabb playing spectator. And if you're wondering, I checked and the Ravens and Saints don't play this season. Unless it's in Miami in early February. Can I get a mulligan on my Super Bowl pick?2 New Orleans SaintsLast Week: 5New Orleans Saints (2-0)The Saints are averaging 46.5 points per game, which is more than a touchdown per game higher than the record-setting 2007 Patriots, who put up 36.8 points per game en route to a 589-point regular season. So, by my math, if the Saints average 35.5 points per game from here on out, they score 590 this season and break New England's two-year-old mark. Not that that's a necessity or anything. The last three teams to hold the one-season scoring mark didn't win the Super Bowl: 2007 Patriots, 1998 Vikings, 1983 Redskins.3 New York GiantsLast Week: 6New York Giants (2-0)Circle Week 6 on your calendar, then pinpoint the Giants-Saints matchup at the Superdome. Why? Because my hunch is we'll be watching 5-0 New York versus 4-0 New Orleans in an early-season showdown for NFC supremacy. All that stands in the way of the Giants reaching that game undefeated are trips to Tampa Bay and Kansas City the next two weeks, followed by a home game against Oakland. See? Like I said, 5-0.4 New York JetsLast Week: 13New York Jets (2-0)Yeah, OK, I've bought into Jets mania. New York jumps up nine spots this week, tying it with Cincinnati for the biggest leap of the week. Now it's a New York-New York doubleheader at the No. 3 and 4 spots in our rankings, and you know that kind of convergence always sparks dreams of a Giants-Jets Super Bowl. But the next two weeks will tell us plenty more about young Mark Sanchez and his first-place team. New York plays host to the desperate Titans this week, and then travels to New Orleans in Week 4.5 Indianapolis ColtsLast Week: 11Indianapolis Colts (2-0)I swear it looked like Peyton Manning didn't even perspire in 85-degree Miami the other night. Suzy Kolber was sweatier. That's how little the Colts had the ball in a game that put the lie to the time-tested axioms that big rushing totals and dominating the clock leads to victory. Miami had the ball for 45:07 and ran for 239 yards, becoming the third team to lose this season among the six who have rushed for 200 yards-plus.6 Atlanta FalconsLast Week: 10Atlanta Falcons (2-0)The Falcons took care of business at home to start the season, beating both Miami and Carolina. But four of their next five games are on the road, and it's a grinder of a stretch: at New England, at San Francisco, at Dallas and at New Orleans, sandwiched around a visit from Chicago. If Atlanta can keep its nose above .500 at 4-3 through Week 8, the second half of the season sets up for another run at the playoffs.7 Minnesota VikingsLast Week: 12Minnesota Vikings (2-0)The Vikings are the league's only 2-0 team that has accomplished it on the road and you have to figure that bodes well. They didn't win their second road game of the season last year until Week 12, and they still managed to go 10-6 and win the NFC North. But road wins are no rarity so far this season. Visiting teams were 16-16 in the first two weeks, going 7-9 in Week 1 and 9-7 in Week 2.8 Pittsburgh SteelersLast Week: 2Pittsburgh Steelers (1-1)Look, there's no shame in losing at Chicago. I read somewhere the Steelers are 1-12 there against the Bears, so they've had some practice at it over the years. And the trip to the Windy City wasn't a complete lost cause, because the Steelers rushing game looked considerably better than it had against the Titans, even getting a rare contribution from Rashard Mendenhall.9 New England PatriotsLast Week: 1New England Patriots (1-1)I'm trying to imagine what would happen if Patriots owner Robert Kraft asked head coach Bill Belichick to record one of those fire-up-the-fans voice-mail messages for New England's season ticket holders, like the one the Jets' Rex Ryan did for New York before the Patriots game? While he's at it, Kraft might as well ask Belichick to release a detailed New England injury report.10 Philadelphia EaglesLast Week: 7Philadelphia Eagles (1-1)Without McNabb in the lineup, I'm not of a mind to downgrade the Eagles too severely for that blowout loss at home to the Saints. But the whole quarterback contingent in Philly is a fascinating sub-plot that might extend all season, and it's as if QB collector Jon Gruden has taken control of Andy Reid's body -- now there's an image -- and can't stockpile enough arms.http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writ...tml?eref=sihpT1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe horn Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I would be disappointed if we were 4-7 after the first 7 games...I just don't see that happening though...Definitely not a math major :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHODAT BEAST IN THE CELLAR Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 I'm guessing you brought this up because you happen to be right? Mr. hypocrite you also bring up all the stuff when your wrong as well, Mr. DYNASTY! Happen to be right? 7-0 son! I was dead on money right in only week 2. You see, when I contemplated a potential dynasty back in early '06(way before the NFCCG), it was these juggernaut Saints of the present that came to mind.There are also people out there not affiliated to the Saints that are even predicting an undefeated season. These Saints are on pace to smash the dynasty Patriots scoring record. Soooooooooo, you see a dynasty is still not an unfathomable thought, which further validates my dynasty speculations.eat your words until that fat lady sings!

WHODAT BEAST IN THE CELLAR Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 disclaimer: Just for the record, I'd never guaranteed a dynasty, but can you really blame me for contemplating a dynasty with a team like this? I don't believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHODAT BEAST IN THE CELLAR Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) You can't leave well enough alone can you? Calling for a dynasty 3 years after you predicted it is ludicrous? Karma like this always comes back to bite you in the azz just like it did the frist time...I'll be there laughing when it does! You brought it back up cuz you can't let it go. I'm just saying you can't sit there and claim I'm crazy for suggesting such a thing at the time, especially now.I haven't said a word about superbowls or dynasty this season, and I don't intend to either. karma my azz! :ph34r:oh, and I never 'predicted' a dynasty....ever.
