We're finished with week 11, and the playoff picture is shaping up..kind of..OK, not really. This week the Lions win in a shootout. The Patriots win in a blowout. The Jets experience a flameout. And the Dolphins continue their breakout.
Week 11 Power Rankings:
32. Indianapolis Colts-They've settled in and gotten cozy in the bottom spot.
31. St Louis Rams-The Rams o-line apparently studied the Bears early season game tape.
30. Jacksonville Jaguars-Lost to the Browns. Yikes.
29. Kansas City Chiefs-If history is an indicator, they're about to go on a 4 game winning streak....yeah, maybe not.
28. Arizona Cardinals-John Skelton with some Tebow-esque numbers without, you know, the rushing TDs and the winning.
27. Washington Redskins-Did everything but kick the game-winning FG.
26. Cleveland Browns-Their win was 1 part luck and 1 part jaguar.
25. Minnesota Vikings-Injuries and fumbles and interceptions..oh my.
24. Carolina Panthers-Newton's rushing TDs are impressive, but his INTs were painful Sunday.
23. San Diego Chargers-Philip Rivers almost forgot he was the INT king, and remedied that in the 4th quarter.
22. Tampa Bay Buccaneers-To be fair, they played pretty well against the Packers, but to be really fair, that's 4 straight losses.
21. Miami Dolphins-Who needs Andrew Luck? Matt Moore for MVP. Who wants Chad Henne? Any takers?
20. Buffalo Bills-Did Ryan Fitzpatrick's new contract have some kind of escalator based on losses?
19. Seattle Seahawks-Defense forced 3 turnovers and got 5 sacks. That'll usually be good for a win, especially if you're playing the Rams.
18. Philadelphia Eagles-Keeping hope alive and now just 2 games back.
17. Tennessee Titans-Good to see that Chris Johnson's big game last week was a fluke.
16. New York Jets-How in the heck do you let Tebow get outside the pocket? Sanchez stinks.
15. Denver Broncos-Tebow was the other half of the stinkathon at QB Thursday.
14. Dallas Cowboys-They should get on their knees and thank the schedule gods..and also Graham Gano.
13. Cincinnati Bengals-HOlding their own against top teams and still control their destiny for the WC.
12. New York Giants-Just like that, they're tied with the Cowboys, and their schedule is the opposite of Dallas.
11. Oakland Raiders-They have a scary backfield when McFadden comes back.
10. Atlanta Falcons-If the big 3 (Ryan, White, Turner) play like this, they can beat anybody.
9. Detroit Lions-Put up a ton of points, but also gave up a ton.
8. Chicago Bears-Matt Forte goes on overdrive with Cutler out. The D can keep them in games.
7. Baltimore Ravens-Looks like they'll be OK as long as they don't run into a sub-.500 team in the playoffs.
6. Houston Texans-Might not need Schaub with Foster and Tate back there.
5. New England Patriots-They've got WRs playing defense and still winning by 30.
4. Pittsburgh Steelers-Looks like they'll be OK as long as they don't run into Baltimore in the playoffs.
3. New Orleans Saints-Drew Brees just keeps putting up huge yardage.
2. San Francisco 49ers-The Ravens vs Niners should be a defensive fan's wet dream.
1. Green Bay Packers-Rodgers has a ridiculous QB rating of 128.8.
MVPs of the Week:
Matthew Stafford-Started out slowly, but 5 TDs later, the Lions won.
Matt Moore-Very efficient with 3 TDs and no picks, and has the Dolphins rolling.
Torrey Smith-The rookie torched the Bengals secondary.
Kevin Smith-Two weeks ago he was out of the league, Sunday, he dominates.
Goats of the week:
Jets D-How? How do you let Tebow get outside on you? Cost them the game.
Cam Newton-It doesn't matter how electrifying you are if you toss 4 picks.
Graham Gano-Yes, 52 yards is a long kick, but you have to make that in OT against a rival.
Chris Johnson-A week after a big game, he bounces back with 1.1 ypc.
Random Thoughts:
1. Does anybody want the second AFC wild card? Anybody at all?
2. If Kevin Smith gives Detroit a consistent run game, look out.
3. Has an offense gone from so good to so bad as quickly as the Bills?
4. DeMarco Murry takes Felix Jones's job. Kevin Smith takes Jahvid Best's job (should). Look out Adrian Peterson...ok, yeah, nevermind.
5. LaGarrett Blount just broke another tackle.
6. Are the Giants going to collapse again?
7. Are the Chargers going to win again?
8. Do the Colts already have a contract written up for Andrew Luck?
