How stupid are power rankings? On this chart the 49ers are ranked ahead of the Colts who just beat them handily in their own house and have a better record. The Packers are ahead of the 49ers as well and the 49ers beat them. The Steelers and Giants behind TB and the Raiders is ridiculous. Both would be favorites against those teams even on their home field.
I agree with everything you said except the Giants. I know the Giants have a QB that can make things happen (or make things worse) and a coach, but the have nothing else. NOTHING. They got blanked by the Panthers. I would have them ranked right where they are.... just have TB below them, but not the Steelers.
You are right, guess I just have a hard time believing the Giants are as bad as they are playing right now. I have never been a huge Eli fan because he is so inconsistent but I think TB is a train wreck that is going to derail with each and every game they lose and the Raiders just flat stink, only team worse then them is the Jags who I am not sure will win a game this season. I still think the Giants and Steelers will recover and put up decent seasons.
