TGP Week 9 Power Rankings

[badgers 380]

Alright guys, I've been posting them rather early these past few weeks cuz everyone has been getting them in right away. So if you want to be involved, post them as soon as you can, thanks.

[Jayrus 51]

1. (7-0) - Sometimes the best way to stay on top is to not play. The Packers are still the only undefeated team and therefore maintian their spot at the top of the list.

 

2. (6-1) - Nobody thought the Niners would have any problem with the Browns, and suprise of suprises... they didn't. The combination of their solid win over the inferior Browns and several other teams moving down has the Niners improving their spot to the runner up.

 

3. (6-2) - The Steelers seem to have completely shaken off the "Superbowl Hangover"that had them off to such a shaky start this year. A good win over the Patriots has them moving up into the Top Three

 

4. :Patriots: (5-2) - Losing to the Steelers slides the Patriots down a couple spots on the ladder of success, however their season is far from finished.

 

5. (6-2) - Their 45-10 routing of the Broncos moves them up a spot and back into the Top Five.

 

6. (5-2) - A total blowout against the Redskins has the Bills moving up a rung on the ladder of success.

 

7. (5-2) - It seemed for awhile that the Giants were going to lay another egg against an inferior team before managing to rally in the second half to keep the dolphins winless.

 

8. (5-2) - A win against a rapidly unravelling Seahawks team moves the Bengals up a spot.

 

9. (5-2) - It looked like the Ravens were going to drop another stinker for a second week running, but Ray Rice just wasn't going to allow that. The Ravens barely survive the Cardinals improving them a spot form last week.

 

10. (5-3) - A solid showing form the Texans over the Jags has them moving up into the Top Ten.

 

11. (5-3) - Talk about "Jeckle & Hyde". How do you up a 62-7 crushing of the winless Colts one week and then crap yourselves against the also winless Rams the next? I jumped you way up last week, now you've shat yourself right out of the top ten.

 

12. (4-3) - They had a bye week and therefore maintain their place.

 

13. (4-3) - I apparently like to have sets of teams on byes ranked right next to each-other on my list. the Bears didn't play and therefore keep their spot.

 

14. (4-3) - The Jets take a welcome rest after their win the week before. They may be above .500 now but Rex still has much to accomplish before he starts talking about Superbowls again.

 

15. (4-3) - No game for the week means no change in spot on the list.

 

16. (4-3) - A win over the rapidly deflating Chargers moves the Chiefs up the charts a spot form last week, as well as to a three way tie for first place in the AFC West.

 

17. (4-3) - Well they didn't play, but they still moved up a spot. Hopefully the week off gave Carson Palmer enough time to catch up with the offense.

 

18. (4-3) - Once again the Chargers fail to beat a team with a positive record, and once again they slide down the ranks.

 

19. (3-4) - Eight weeks in and the Eagles are finally starting to look like that "Dream Team" everyone was talking about. A blowout victory over the Cowboys bumps the Eagles up the chart.

 

20. (3-3) - The titans hand the Colts another loss to go with their other six so far this year. Now if they could just figure out what to do with that pesky Chris Johnson guy...

 

21. (3-4) - A huge drumming from the Eagles has the Coyboys sliding a few spots down the rankings. Maybe you should have used that #1 overall run defense to stop LeSean McCoy.

 

22. (2-6) - Sometimes all you need to climb the rankings is a little luck, and a missed field goal has the Vikings dodging the proverbial bullet for a much needed win.

 

23. (3-4) - Having a good pass defense doesn't help when you face a team that doesn't pass.

 

24. (3-4) - A goose-egg performance against the Bills has the Redskins falling below .500 as well as down the charts.

 

25. (2-6) - Once again Cam Newton trys so very hard to come up with a win, but a missed 30 yard field goal keeps his curse in tact and send the Panthers home with yet another loss.

 

26. (2-5) - Admit it. We've all wondered who would win in a fight between Jesus Christ and Megatron. Now we know the answer. We can only hope Tebow will rise again after his crucifxion by the Lions to lead his team to salvation.

 

27. (2-6) - A loss to the Texans has the Jags faling further down the ladder.

 

28. (2-5) - Sometimes everyone else can suck so bad that even when you lose you go up in the rankings. This is one of those times.

 

29. (2-5) - The Seahawks drop yet another winnable game and fall further down the ranks. Free tip guys : STOP STARTING WHITEHURST!!!

 

30 (1-6) - The Rams pull out their first win of the year in a suprise upset over the Saints meaning they they improve in the rankings and we have one less winless team.

 

31. (0-7) - So close to finally getting a win and yet so far. The only reason you're not dead last is because you at least put up a fight every week.

 

32. (0-8) - Another week another horrible beatdown. These guys are totally lost and it seems to get worse by the week instead of better. At this point you're best option is to write this season off as a total loss and to start prepping for next year. LUCK AHOY!!!

[Eefluxx 113]

1. (7-0) - Packers schedule gets a tad tougher after the BYE.

 

2. (6-1) - Probably the steadiest team in the NFL right now.

 

3. (6-2) - Showed the world how to keep Brady in check.

 

4. :Patriots: (5-2) - This team will rebound as always. Need to work on the defense's back seven.

 

5. (5-2) - Surprise surprise!. Both of their losses have been by a combined 7 points. Rookie Andy Dalton playing better than anyone ever thought he would.Still have the Steelers and Ravens to play twice tho.

 

6. (5-2) - Actually leading their division with the Pats losing. Both of their losses are a combined 6 points. Won at home in Toronto for the first time ever.

 

7. (5-2) - Bounced back nicely after 6 quarters of shoddy football against 2 mediocre teams. Nice comeback win.

 

8. (6-2) - Righted their 2 game skid with a blowout. Not quite as sold on them as I was previously in the year.

 

9. (5-2) - Eli living up to his own billing that he is an elite QB in the NFL.

 

10. (5-3) - Have really only beaten the Steelers. Are benefiting from playing in their own down division this year.

 

11. (4-3) - Have quietly won 4 games in a row. Have two more "easy" games and then we will see against the Pats how good they really are.

 

12. (5-3) - Need to get their head on straight for the next two division games against the Bucs and Falcons. Or at least show some damn heart while they are playing.

 

13. (4-3) - Carson Palmer had a whole week to learn how to hand off to Darren McFadden.

 

14. (4-3) - HC Norv Turner continues to prove that even with talent he doesn't know what he is doing. Phillip Rivers is the most frustrated QB in the NFL.

 

15. (4-3) - Had a bye week. Hopefully they will remember to keep giving Turner the ball and not get pass happy again with Jones returning.

 

16. (4-3) - Have won two in a row! Still aren't going to make the playoffs tho.

 

17. (4-3) - Have won two in a row! Still aren't going to make the playoffs tho. Which is unfortunate because they have the best running back in the NFL right now in Matt Forte.

 

18. (4-3) - After a bye week maybe the team has a gameplan for the second half of the season.

 

19. (3-4) - Why can't they play like they did sunday night all the time?

 

20. (4-3) - CJ2K is starting to look like CJ200. Must be everyone elses fault tho.

 

21. (3-4) - Only the Cowboys would reward a guy who ran all over the place the week before by giving him only 8 carries the following week.

 

 

So figure these next 3 out Carolina beats Washington but Minnesota beats the Panthers and yet I still have the Panthers over the Vikings and the Vikings over the Redskins and the Redskins have the better record.

 

22. (2-6) - Cam will eventually get them over the hump even if the coaching can't. Defense is missing it's leaders.

 

23. (2-6) - Ponder continues to improve and AP is AP. I don't think Leslie Frazier is head coaching material.

 

24. (3-4) - How did you win 3 games to begin with?

 

25. (3-4) - Just wait until 2013!

 

26. (2-6) - Jack Del Rio just needs to go.

 

27. (2-5) - The NFC West is such a joke that the Hawks are in second place in the division and have only won 2 games.

 

28. (1-6) - Have been a disappointment to their fans. They really thought they had something with Kevin Kolb.

 

29. (1-6) - Steven Jackson is the heart and soul of this team.

 

30. (2-5) - Someone wake me when it's Brady Quinn time.

 

31. (0-8) - Noone needs a by3 week more than this team. Well maybe a bye year would be better.

 

32. (0-7) - Have been sending thank you cards to the Rams since sunday.

[Glanvilles Grits 142]

1. - Are there really any questions here?

 

2. - What Frank Gore can't do, the defense can! Alex Smith proving he is worthy of being an NFL game manager.

 

3. - Who cares about what they did to Brady and the Patriots, this team proved Sunday that they can have two separate identities and still be successful.

 

4. - Is this really possible? Halfway through the season and the Bills are still winning? Pinch me please. They are seriously the best team in the division.

 

5. - Cam Newton? What about Andy Dalton? I guess this is the end result of being the "red headed step-child", no media attention. Possibly the best defense in the league.

 

6. - Despite losses to the 49ers and the Falcons, this team is still extremely good. If Best get's healthy again, look out.

 

7. - They had a rocky start, but it looks like they are firing on all cylinders again. Jackie Battle is filling into Jamaal Charles' role extremely well. And oh yeah, they DO play solid defense!

 

8. - When Johnson is healthy, the offense has serious fire-power. When Foster is running at his best AND Johnson is healthy, holy crap!

 

9. - As long as Ray Rice get's the football more than Flacco throws it, they win. This is an undefeated team, with a 5-2 record. Too bad.

 

10. :Patriots: - Can you say "worst pass defense in the league"? If you can pass the football, you can beat the Patriots. It's not rocket science folks. However, Tom Brady does keep these guys in the top 10.

 

11. - This IS the best team in the NFC East, and they showed it Sunday. Question is, do they know this?

 

12. - I really don't know what to think about the Saints. Any takers?

 

13. - This team really isn't that good. But they do keep finding ways to win. Eli is quietly having the best year he's ever put together (Right now anyway!), they aren't better than the Eagles though.

 

14. - It seems they are back to their 2010 form, but let's wait another couple weeks to find out. Maybe a couple weeks without Julio Jones was just what the football doctors ordered.

 

15. - This team is lucky to be in my top 20. There is no reason other than an easy schedule that they are 4-3, because I see a 2-5 team that has won games against absolutely horrible teams, and lost games against sub-par performers.

 

16. - Carson Palmer was thrown to the dogs his first outing. He's had two weeks now practicing with the first team, maybe it was a fluke? Let's just hope. This is a team that can compete with the heavy-weights, IF the quarterback can simply not make mistakes.

 

17. - This team looks great on paper! And so has been the case for about 15 years now.

 

18. - They continue to struggle finding their identity. The Sanchize looks more like a dirty Sanchez (See what I did there?), and the defense is clearly under-achieving. Rex has no control right now.

 

19. - Even the Afro can't stop the sophomore slump of Josh Freeman. Expect a full bounce back next season.

 

20. - Apparently the Bears have entered for a logo change. A headshot of Matt Forte is being placed over the popular C logo. Rightfully so. Also, Jay Cutler lobbying for a memory foam pocket behind his offensive line.

 

21. - Injuries have destroyed the teams season. . Wait a minute, Chris Johnson has no injuries! CJ2K tricks me again!

 

22. - This team could easily have two more wins on the season, I'm sure they are glad they went out and got Donovan McNabb. What were they thinking? Another wonder-year like Brett Favre gave them? Look, the guy is washed up. Good thing Christian Ponder was ready to go. Anyone noticed that Jared Allen is on a blazing pace to destroy the sack record yet?

 

23. - Hmm only two reasons that this team would be this high in my rankings. Either Cam Newton is really fricking good, or the Panthers are a solid football team. I'm taking the first. Without Cam Newton, this team is 0-8.

 

24. - Is it possible that Rex Grossman could actually be the best quarterback on a teams roster? Oh man, as others have said, how has this team won 3 games?

 

25. - The Cardinals aren't good at all this year but let's be fair on this one, they HAVE had quite a few close games to this point. They've come out the loser in every single one though.

 

26. - This team clearly has more problems than Jack Del Rio, but he would be a good start.

 

27. - These guys are always at the bottom. Always waiting for "next year" to come. Instead of wearing out Peyton Hillis and winning football games, they have decided to let Colt McCoy break his arm by throwing it 60 times a game.

 

28. - Last year it seemed like things were looking up in St. Louis. But unfortunately, McDaniels certainly knows how to destroy a team. First Denver, now St. Louis. Steven Jackson is the only hope for this team, and he can't stay healthy more than 3 weeks at a time!

 

29. - When Tavaris Jackson is your starting quarterback, you know your in trouble. When your starting quarterback goes down, you know you're screwed.

 

30. - Brady Quinn wants no part of this offense, I mean, Jesus couldn't even succeed!

 

31. - Peyton Manning named the NFL MVP.

 

32. - I don't even think the mascot wants any part with the Dolphins, much less Andrew Luck!

[Thanatos 2,847]

1. (-) -Hopefully the bye week gave them a chance to work on that defense, pretty much the only weak link in Green Bay's organization.

 

2. (+3) -Showed exactly how to beat the Patriots- pass the ball on their weak secondary and keep Tom Brady off the field. A great win for Pittsburgh, who looks to have shaken off any post-Super Bowl woes.

 

3. (-) -Didn't beat the Browns as thoroughly as some were expecting, but they still got the W. Playing solid, old-school football, one of the last teams in the league to be doing so with success. It will be interesting to see if that success can continue without much of a passing game.

 

4. (+2) -Absolute demolition of the Skins was a surprising defensive showing from a team who had been weak in that area. Definitely appear to be well-set to challenge the Patriots dominance of the AFC East this year.

 

5. (+2) -A solid win over division rival Jacksonville leaves one hard-pressed to imagine this team isn't going to take the AFC South this year. Once Andre gets back, the Texans should take off.

 

6. (+3) -Their defense teed off on a poor Broncos offense, and Stafford was on point against a decent Denver secondary. It's going to take more than a convincing win over the struggling Broncos to quiet all of Detroit's doubters, however.

 

7. :Patriots: (-5) -Loss to the Steelers showed exactly where New England is weak. The proper adjustments need to be made for this team to regain the lead in the AFC East.

 

8. (-2) -The Giants almost dropped a game against winless Miami in conditions that should have favored New York even more than they were already. Weaknesses not withstanding, the Giants do have a two-game lead in the NFC East- and they're going to need it with possibly the most difficult second-half stretch in the NFL.

 

9. (+2) -An impressive win by rookie Andy Dalton and the Bengals in a very hostile environment puts them in the top 10 for the first time all year. They still have yet to play the Steelers or the Ravens, which will be key in letting us know how the Red Rifle can handle pressure from a superior defense.

 

10. (-6) -Losing to St. Louis isn't enough to completely drop the Saints out of the top-10, but it's close. New Orleans has got to figure out who they are. The loss to the Rams might really hurt them in tiebreakers at the end of the season. Key divisional matchup against Tampa is next.

 

11. (-1) -Only a huge second-half surge by Baltimore kept them from losing to the Cardinals. The defense let Arizona put up 27 points, although they managed to shut the Cards down in the second half.

 

12. (-) -Bye week leaves Atlanta where it was. Going to Indianapolis should make for a relatively easy game, but after the Rams upset New Orleans, who knows anymore.

 

13. (+1) -Bye week moves the Jets up a spot. Huge division matchup with the Bills up next.

 

14. (+1) -Bye week for Chicago. Big game in Philly up next with some huge implications for potential tiebreakers at the end of the season.

 

15. (+1) -Hopefully Oakland’s bye week helped Carson Palmer learn how to play football again, and let McFadden have some time to rest his ankle. Otherwise, a promising season may be cut short.

 

16. (+1) -Bye week for Tampa as well, with yet another huge division matchup this week- going into the Superdome to play the Saints.

 

17. (+4) -Andy Reid improves his record after byes to a perfect 13-0 with a beatdown of rival Dallas on the national stage. Very impressive win by the Eagles, who appear to be firing on all cylinders after a shaky start.

 

18. (+6) -A great win over rival San Diego puts them in the driver’s seat for the AFC West. A 3-way tie at 4-3 would seem to favor the team that has won their last 4 straight.

 

19. (-) -A 27-10 victory over the Colts may seem good on paper, but yet another poor showing from Chris Johnson leaves many wondering whether he will ever get back on track, and whether Tennessee can catch Houston for the division without him.

 

20. (-7) -Losing 34-7 to division rival Philly in a very poor showing drops the Cowboys significantly. They need to rebound quickly.

 

21. (-3) -And now San Diego is 4-3. Only win against a team with a record over .500 was against KC when the Chiefs were struggling earlier in the year. Rivers just gave the game away; fumbling a snap in that situation is simply inexcusable. The game was won; all you had to do was snap the ball one more time. This loss may end up costing them the division title- a win would have given them a two-game lead and the tiebreaker on KC, so essentially a three-game lead. Instead, they find themselves dead even with the Chiefs after seven, and losers of two in a row with the Packers coming to town. Things are unraveling in San Diego in a hurry.

 

22. (-2) -Yet another solid showing by Newton goes for naught after a failing somewhere else, this time the kicking game. Maybe we should have Cam kick the field goals, too, since he seems to be able to do everything else. Good thing we cut John Kasay, since he was too old to make those kicks.

 

23. (+5) -A solid showing by Christian Ponder in the battle of rookie quarterbacks, and AP is AP, as always. However, Carolina also made John Beck look good, so let’s wait to crown Ponder as a franchise QB. What is beyond doubt, however, is that he definitely gives the Vikes more of a chance to win than Donovan McNabb.

 

24. (+1) -Another solid defensive showing against the high-powered Texans, but their offense is simply not up to the task of keeping up with such a prolific scoring team. Gabbert is just not there yet.

 

25. (+1) -A good defensive showing against the Niners, but their offense is unable to score, again. The offense has to help out their D if they want to compete in the AFC North.

 

26. (+5) -A huge upset over the New Orleans Saints shows the Rams still have some life left in them. If only the St. Louis Cardinals could win the World Series every week.

 

27. (+2) -If the game against Baltimore only lasted 30 minutes, then we could be talking about the great performance by the Cardinals in all phases. Instead, a great first half leads to a giant second-half collapse, as the Cards fall in a close one once again.

 

28. (-5) -And we see that Carolina’s defense made Beck look like more than he was. A donut against a suspect Bills defense is not going to impress anyone. How on earth did this team win 3 games in the first place?

 

29. (-2) -The ‘Hawks need to find some answers and fast. Here’s a hint: Starting Charlie Whitehurst is not part of the answer.

 

30. (-8) -And against a defense that is actually good, we see what Tebow can really do- pretty much nothing. There are more problems on Denver than at the QB position, but it is definitely one of them.

 

31. (+1) -A decent showing against the G-men was foiled by not coming up with the W. Sparano's seat is getting hotter, if that's even possible.

 

32. (-2) -How can one player make such a difference to a football team? The Colts look well on the way to the #1 overall pick. They simply have no answers. One has to wonder what Jim Caldwell brings to this team if he can't even win a few games without Peyton.

[Packers Dynasty 2010 116]

1. Lets see if Capers has this D fixed up and ready to actually stop opposing ofenses.

2. The D may not be as flashy but they shut down offenses down. While Roethlisberger is looking great. Easily could be looking at a Packers-Steelers Superbowl rematch.

3. Gore and the D are carrying this team. Can Alex Smith keep up if the D does falter?

4. The secondary is a huge weakness but Brady can still make things happen.

5. They constantly found their way in the Redskins' backfield and was able to shut down a weak offense.

6. Have a firm grasp on the AFC South and should cruise into the playoffs.

7. Nice bounce back after two losses. Have a tough stretch of games after the BYE.

8. Eli Manning was able to lead a comeback but why were they down in the first place?

9. There is no reason to be down by 21 to the Cards, they were able to win but it wasn't pretty.

10. After losing Johnathan Joseph and starting a rookie QB, this team was supposed to struggle. They have yet to face a tough opponent, we'll see how they handle the Ravens or Steelers.

11. With the Saints and Bucs being inconsistent, the Falcons have a good shot at winning the NFCS after a slow start.

12. The Saints need to find an answer on D and actually become consistent if they want to make the playoffs.

13. Had a bye week to rest up and prepare for a couple of tough games.

[RazorStar 4,025]

1. (7-0)

 

2. (6-1) (+2)

Frank Gore has come alive these past four games, he and the defense are making Alex Smith look like a good Terry Bradshaw. The 49ers aren't gonna be confused with the steel curtain anytime soon, but they're a pretty close analogue.

 

3. (6-2) (+3)

This team gets by on the body of Big Ben... and he's looking just as good as he always has. It's a shame he doesn't get the props guys like Brady and Peyton do, because he's been on their level for a long time.

 

4. (5-2) (+1)

 

5. (5-2) (+3)

Eli Manning is on fire this year, he's playing like a top 5 QB, and has the presence of his older brother out there. When you take more and more away from him, he looks better and better.

 

6. (5-2) (+1)

7. :Patriots: (5-2) (-5)

8. (5-3) (-5)

 

9. (6-2)

Great win by the Lions against Denver sunday. This should restore their confidence heading into the second half of the season, but they better not let it go to their heads, just 4 years ago they turned a 6-2 start into a 7-9 finish. Where was their 6th win that year? Denver.

 

10. (5-2) (+1)

The Bengals just need to keep winning the game they're supposed to. They're keeping pace in the AFC North thanks to amazing defense, good blocking on offense, and a game manager QB who isn't trying to do too much. Forget talks of Cam Newton for OROTY, Andy Dalton is right up there, he just lacks in flash.

 

11. (4-3) (-1)

12. (5-3) (+1)

The Texans are an erosion process, and Blaine Gabbert is Gabbro... ok but seriously, even without Houston's top 2 players they're finding ways toget production back in their pass rush and receiving corps. Ben Tate and Arian Foster can continue to carry the load until Andre Johnson is ready to demolish defenses once again. By then the Texans could be in position to blow yet another playoff opportunity.

 

13. (4-3) (+1)

14. (4-3) (+1)

15. (4-3) (+2)

16. (4-3)

17. (4-3) (+3)

I hate to move a team up that put all that effort into losing the game, but they just decided to win anyway. One 4 game winning streak and the Chiefs are leading the AFC West on tiebreakers.

 

18. (4-3) (-6)

19. (4-3)

20. (3-4) (+3)

 

21. (3-4) (-3)

I'm having trouble understanding why Rob Ryan doesn't shut his big trap already, the Cowboys aren't winning and he's the main reason why. Stop feeding the trolls, Mr. Ryan, you can never sate them.

 

22. (3-4) (-1)

 

23. (2-6) (+5)

The Vikings are much better than their 2-6 record indicates. When you have the leading runner and leading pass rusher, you're probably a much better team than 2-6 at the midway point. If they could play the full 60 minutes more often, they'd have made the NFC North the most competitive division in the league.

 

24. (2-6) (-2)

For all the flash the Panthers have, they're still 2-6. I just don't understand why they can't pull it together, they aren't that bad on paper.

 

25. (3-4) (-1)

Once you damage a ZBS team's offensive line, their offense is screwed. The Redskins in turn are double screwed, because they just suck in the first place. Might be too late to enter the Suck for Andrew Luck campaign.

 

26. (1-6) (+5)

I think I figured out why the Rams sucked so bad, aside from a tough schedule and not being that good in the first place... Steven Jackson wasn't fully healthy. He tore apart the Saints, and the Rams are gonna rely on him for the rest of the year.

 

27. (2-6) (-1)

 

28. (1-6) (+1)

Yes I'm moving the Cardinals up after a loss... it's only because they were the least terrible out of this bunch.

 

29. (2-5) (-4)

30. (2-5) (-3)

31. (0-7) (+1)

 

32. (0-8) (-2)

I had a really hard time deciding who the last place team should be... Do I take the team who snatches defeat from the jaws of victory, or the team who looks like they need to be put down out there... I went with the Old Colts. Irsay, get your shotgun, it's time to put these horses down.

[Glanvilles Grits 142]

This team gets by on the body of Big Ben... and he's looking just as good as he always has. It's a shame he doesn't get the props guys like Brady and Peyton do, because he's been on their level for a long time.

 

[Sarge+ 3,436]

The only thing Brady and Manning have on Roethlisberger are flashy stats like yards and TD's, but Roethlisberger has been one of the most efficient QB's in the league for years now. He's always top 5 in the league in YPA, TD/INT ratio and completion %. His 3rd down stats are phenomenal, especially when you consider that the Steelers are routinely faced with 3rd and 6 or worse due to their lack of a consistent running game. People always say that the Steelers need to 'get back to Steeler football" and when they say that, they are talking about lining up and running it right down the other team's throat. Not only is that impossible with our run blocking, but we shouldn't do that even if we were able to. "Steeler football" has become living and dieing on the arm of Roethlisberger.

 

People like to bring up that the defense has always carried Roethlisberger, but a defense has never carried a QB to 3 Super Bowls. Even Terry Bradshaw in the 70's used to play pretty well in the playoffs/Super Bowl. In fact, the defense blew the lead in Super Bowl XLIII, and then ben had the lead the comeback. Then last year, Ben didn't play that well in the first half, and Chris Kemoeatu got absolutely manhandled on the pick 6 play. But he was almost able to bring us back at the end of the game. In fact, I know that several Packers fans were shitting their pants on the last drive because they were almost certain Roethlisberger was going to bring us back to win. Roethlisberger has become a QB that other teams fear. Why would they fear a QB who isn't elite?

No doubt I put Big Ben near the top of my list, but I can't put anyone on the same level as Brady and Peyton. I guess I never really looked at Roethlisbergers pure stats and percentages because I've never had to compare him to anyone. He's always just been, well, big ben! Lol. Interesting take though. I do notice now he's incredibly efficient, but still I can't put him on the same level. Although, those rings look real nice. For sure a hall of famer.

10. After losing Johnathan Joseph and starting a rookie QB, this team was supposed to struggle. They have yet to face a tough opponent, we'll see how they handle the Ravens or Steelers.

 

Just fyi, this is not true.

 

The Bengals faced and defeated the Bills 23-20, and lost to San Fran 13-8.

They still haven't exactly been tested and able to win, the Bills game was all after an emotional tough game against the Pats. Their other wins have been against the Browns, Jags, Colts, and Seahawks. Not exactly the greatest teams there. Once they face the Steelers or Ravens, we'll see how good they truly are.

Hey I know this is really shitty of me but I have 2 papers I'm working on, I can't get this done right now.

 

Can somebody average out all of these numbers then PM me the list? I'll still post it to the front page I just don't have time to take the averages of it all and organize it.

 

I'll give +5 rep to whoever does this, so PD this may be your lucky day.

 

Seriously though, can somebody do this? Much appreciated.

I kinda agree, but I was just pointing out that they have faced two tough teams. The statement that they have faced NO tough teams was erroneous, that was what I was saying.

 

And badgers, I'll see if I can get that together. Do you want me to wait till Friday to do it to give more people time, or just go ahead and do that Thursday?

The Bills lead by 14 points in that game. You gotta give the Bengals props for that.

[Glanvilles Grits 142]

The Bengals have one of the best defenses in the league. I really don't believe that they are "pretenders" as everyone tries to label them. Maybe I'm wrong, who knows.

 

Also it has become apparent to me that TGP dislikes the LOLWUT Pear. haha
