lol, the Chargers have yet to beat a team with a winning record. I despise you, San Diego.

FRED HALE SR.

More like great call on the Ravens? LOL Or Palmer making the Raiders better? LOL Falcons good luck with Detroit? Doh! Keep making the great calls Jimmy the Greek. Doh!

YorkeDaddy

lol random predictions about teams I don't even like were wrong? oh...no? lol?

Besides, I don't know if you were aware, but Palmer just played a game of NFL football after only practicing with an actual NFL team for like three days. If you expected a great performance out of him that early, you're a moron.

Sparky

Palmer knew like 10% of the playbook? Get off his back a little bit.
Ya know, up until like a few days ago I would have totally agreed with you. But when you think about it, neither is really true.

Leslie Frazier and Musgrave had to come up with a completely new offensive playbook, due to the lockout they didn't have a full off season to do this.

Most of the bad things going on are a result of Childress poor coaching. While picking up Favre was successful for one season, it left us completely unprepared for the future.

The play of mcnabb is not the coaches fault. Obviously musgrave would like to throw it on 3rd and long, but when you have mcnabb throwing groundballs on wide open tight ends, its easy to understand why you just have peterson run it anyway.

I think benching Mcnabb and cutting Berrian are strong moves. I think with ponder looking so promising, and the opportunity to really draft well next year puts the vikings in a surprisingly good spot.

I can only imagine how much you guys missed my power rankings last week... but school comes first. But I'm back this week and I'm sure no one will disagree with these in any way, shape or form.

Week 8

1. Green Bay Packers- Charlie Sheen pun: How many wins do/will the Packers have? A whole Platoon of them.

2. New Orleans Saints- I don't care how bad the Colts are, it takes talent to put up 62 points in roughly 50 minutes.

3. New England Patriots- The real test will be to see if the defense has improved in any way during the bye.

4. San Francisco 49ers- It's amazing to think their only loss was a miracle comeback by Dallas.

5. Pittsburgh Steelers- Coming on strong, just as the Ravens are starting to wilt away.

6. Buffalo Bills- NO ONE, CIRCLES THE WAGONS, LIKE THE BUFFALO BILLS! (When they have a bye week that can allow the majority of their roster to get healthy.)

7. Detroit Lions- Is this a slump, or are they coming back down to Earth? No matter what, running back is gonna be addressed in the off-season.

8. Chicago Bears- Ok. I believe in them now. That means they'll lose their next game.

9. Houston Texans- They weathered the storm with Andre Johnson injured, so it should be smooth sailing from here on out.

10. New York Giants- The surprise leader in the NFC East, and their consistency compared to the rest of the division will keep them near the top.

11. San Diego Chargers- Let me know when they beat a legitimate team this season.

12. Baltimore Ravens- O.U.C.H.

13. Atlanta Falcons- Turning it around at the right time. But it may be too late to catch the Saints.

14. Cincinnati Bengals- I still believe they're a very good team. But, the real test will be when they finally get to play the rest of the division, 5 of their last 10 games.

15. New York Jets- Finally getting a win, can they catch the Bills and steal the wildcard?

16. Oakland Raiders- I won't judge Carson Palmer on just one game, after not even a week of preparation.

17. Dallas Cowboys- Between the near win at New England and the dismantling of the Rams, maybe they've found the groove.

18. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Make up your mind: are you legit or not!

19. Tennessee Titans- I saw Chris Johnson on a milk cartoon yesterday.

20. Philadelphia Eagles- I really think they'll sort some things out after their bye week.

21. Washington Redskins- Sexy Rexy... not so sexy anymore.

22. Kansas City Chiefs- Don't call it a comeback; because a bad QB, a volatile coach and lots of injuries will sink them eventually.

23. Carolina Panthers- Props to Cam Newton for proving me wrong, so far.

24. Jacksonville Jaguars- One last MNF hurrah! the fans can remember when they're playing in LA within the next 3 years.

26. Seattle Seahawks & Cleveland Browns- If that was a Harvard vs. Yale game from 1912, it would have been an awesome game... but it wasn't. They deserve each other after that game of "football".

27. Minnesota Vikings- I really liked Ponder coming out of college more than the other QB's in that class. He has played pretty well so far.

28. Arizona Cardinals- This team can be good again... maybe.

29. Denver Broncos Still not a Tebow fan. The final 5 minutes cannot change the first horrible 55 minutes.

30. St. Louis Rams- If they get the #1 pick, it's the ultimate win-win. Both Bradford and Luck will get them great value on the trade market.

31. Miami Dolphins- They are bad. But it's like there is some invisible force, like a team of greater suckitude, if you will, that prevents them from being ranked 32nd.

32. Indianapolis Colts They can still 'Suck for Luck'. The difference is that they don't need to put any extra effort towards their sucking.

FRED HALE SR.

What does not liking a team have to do with being able to prognosticate? I think the whole world was aware that Palmer got a week of snaps. The difference is the world knows that Palmers good days are behind him, something you did not. Expecting a great performance? Who would really be the moron?

Sparky

yikes philip rivers. Can't fumble like that lol

Chargers remind me a lot of the vikings

YorkeDaddy

1. Packers - I'm pulling for a Detroit victory over these guys on Thanksgiving.
2. 49ers - I'm having trouble denying this spot to these guys.
3. Steelers - Whoaaa buddy. And to think I was doubting them earlier this season. I feel foolish.
4. Ravens - Everyone has a stretch of bad play. There's lasted all of the Jaguars game and about half of the Cardinals game. I have a feeling it's over now.
5. Patriots - Their defense is not Super Bowl caliber. Maybe Bellichick can fix it?
6. Lions - What matters is that Green Bay matchup in a few weeks.
7. Bills - Boy am I glad I picked up the Bills defense. Poor Redskins. And just as I'm sure everyone expected, this team is tied for first in the AFC East.
8. Saints - Wait, what just happened?
9. Giants - I mean, hey, a win's a win, even if it was barely a win over the Dolphins.
10. Bengals - This is the biggest surprise of the season. More surprising than the 49ers and Lions and Bills, more surprising than the Colts, and even more surprising than the Eagles (even though they're getting their act back together).
11. Texans - Andre Johnson's coming back soon? Their schedule also happens to be a joke over the next few weeks. 8-3 coming right up.
12. Falcons - A team that is playing so average yet looking pretty good in the playoff race.
13. Jets - I'm just not sure about this team.
14. Eagles - Hey, they're still in this thing! Especially if they keep playing like that.
15. Chiefs - You can't deny that they have heart, winning four straight after starting out 0-3.
16. Bears - Every game is crucial for this Bears team if they want to make the playoffs.
17. Buccaneers - The NFC South is anyone's game right now. Well, besides the Panthers. But who had high hopes for them?
18. Titans - If Chris Johnson was playing well, they'd be like 6 spots higher. But until then, I'm not confident in this team heading into the rest of the season.
19. Chargers - This team disgusts me. Philip Rivers is pathetic. Luckily, they face three extremely difficult matchups in a row that they will all lose, because this team can't beat any team that has any number larger than one in the win column.
20. Raiders - If Palmer does well, this team will shoot up.
21. Cowboys - There isn't much hope for this team now.
22. Browns - They're in what is probably the strongest division in football. Not a good sign.
23. Vikings - Whoa Ponder. Lookin' pretty sexy. Who needs Luck?
24. Redskins - Oh. Lol. The first few weeks were a fluke.
25. Panthers - If they start surrounding Newton with some good players in the next few years, I could see them as contenders.
26. Jaguars - Gabbert is the worst starting QB in the NFL right now.
27. Broncos - Against the Dolphins, he played 55 bad minutes and 5 good minutes. Against the Lions, he played 60 bad minutes.
28. Rams - Who's Sam Bradford?
29. Cardinals - They almost beat the Ravens! That would've been a big boost...but they couldn't hold on late in the game. Bummer.
30. Seahawks - They're not making the playoffs this year. That's for sure.
31. Dolphins - Almost squeaked out their first win against the Giants, but New York would have none of that.
32. Colts - 0-16 coming right up.

FRED HALE SR.

I can't take anything you say seriously, partly because you said whos Sam Bradford and partly because you still have the Patriots ahead of the Bills. Your horrible at this.

Sparky

I would actually argue Tebow, at least in the current offensive scheme he's in.


@fredhale

i think your just salty cuz ur chargers keep beating themselves :P
