DSS NFL Rankings

This past week has some exciting games, the Chargers are still sitting pretty, and the Colts proved once again why they are the best, can you guess? Anyway here are this weeks DSS NFL Rankings, enjoy......

Hello Playoffs!
1. San Diego (12-2) If their recent conquest of the Chiefs didn’t say enough, let me put it into terms one can understand with ease. This team is for real, and with no one stopping their rushing attack, a Super Bowl in 07’ can certainly happen.

2. Indianapolis (11-3) Peyton Manning showed why he’s the best in the business. Manning feasted on the poor pass coverage Cincinnati used in a sad attempt to stop this future hall of famer.

3. Chicago (12-2) With key losses to their defense due to injuries, as well as gun play third stringer Tim Ratty exposed a little kink in the mighty Bear’s armor. Pending next weeks defensive performance can one truly see if the Bears are slowly on the decline.

4. Baltimore (11-3) Interesting game against the Browns this past weekend. With McNair hurt many had a sigh of relief as Kyle Boller actually led this team to victory in a tight division game. Without a healthy McNair this team will only have it’s defense to count on.

5. New England (10-4) Tom Brady and company showed that last weeks hiccup against Miami was just a hiccup. Brady and the Pats unleashed one hell of a beating on the Texans. Remember football fans if the Pats are still in it the past has proven, they are a serious contender.

6. New Orleans (9-5) Hey, at least they won their division thanks to the sad play of the Carolina Panthers. Brees has nothing to worry about, they need to just brush this one off and move on. The Redskins, are you serious? At home? Lets hope this was just like a New England hiccup.

7. Dallas (9-5) Congratulations Tony Romo, you must be the first quarterback ever to not even play a whole season and be in the pro-bowl. Make sure to call some pals at ESPN and thank them for all the hype you have received, anyway on a good note at least it takes the spotlight away from you know who. DSS won’t even say his name, because we don’t feel the need to be another sporting outlet that pays attention to nonsense.

Wildcard.
8. Cincinnati (8-6) After Manning thrashed this team on national television, one must ask themselves, how did this team win eight games with such a poor pass defense? They have an offense, and that’s about it. Denver versus Cincinnati on Sunday should be an interesting one.

9. Philadelphia (8-6) Out with Iverson, and in with Garcia. What can one say about Jeff Garcia right now? He is with no doubt the best backup in the league, maybe if he got to play three more games he could have joined Romo in Hawaii.

10. Denver (8-6) Now that’s more like the Jay Cutler everyone was talking about. Poor Matt Leinart just didn’t have the game to upset his draft mate. Cutler-1 Leinart-0

11. Jets (8-6) Now I can’t get too giddy about this being that I am a Jets fan. That’s right DSS owner and publisher is a Jets fan, so pending that we don’t blow it like teams of the past. Oh what the heck……..JAYYYYY---------EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-----------TTTTTTTTTTTT--------SSSSSSSSS! JETS! JETS! JETS! Sorry I lost myself there, but on a serious note, this team will only go as far as Chad can take them, because the Jets seriously lack a running game. Hey, at least making it to the first round says something in the AFC, doesn’t it? Mangini is coach of the year hands down.

12. Jacksonville (8-6) If I were a Jags fan I would just hang my head. Giving up three touchdowns to the other teams defense, if that’s not a shot to the groin, I don’t know what is.

13. Seattle (8-6) Seattle has a lot to prove this week after getting their teeth kicked in by Gore and the 49ers during last weeks highly televised Thursday Night Game of the week. Seahawks better be ready for a long one this week, cause they play the Chargers (sigh) yep, could be a long rainy one in Seattle.

Still on a lifeline.
14. Pittsburgh (7-7) Where have the champs been all year? If this team played like this all year long, well Peyton Manning would be worried about seeing them in the playoffs again. Too bad the chances really look slim.

15. Atlanta (7-7) This team is currently still alive in the dull NFC, but after Vick showed such a lack of heart against the Cowboys towards the end, this sports guy questions if this team even wants to finish the season.

16. New York Giants (7-70 Big Blue is in Big trouble after the Eagles just took it to them. Here is my advice. Plax, Jeremy, and even you Mr. Strahan (if you even play) just shut up already, there’s nothing to brag about. The JETS are now the team of New York. That’s right the JETS!

17. Tennessee (7-7) With the results Vince Young and this young defense has been showing, one asks why wasn’t Vince Young starting in the beginning of the season? Bringing in Kerry Collins was not a very funny joke to start the season with. In the end the joke will be on you Mr. Fisher when you miss the playoffs by one game. Ouch that hurts.

18. Buffalo (7-7) Yet again it’s the same old story in Buffalo. I think the Bills should get a banner in the front of the locker room that says this. “The Season Starts in September” just as simple as that, because then, just then, might these guys do something such as a playoff birth. I’m tired of seeing decent Bills teams miss out because of a slow start.

19. Kansas City (7-7) Kudos Herm, I don’t even know what to say. Hmmm, well at least Kansas has some decent golf courses. Just a shame that the KC media isn’t as fun at the NY media. Makes for a slow off season.

20. San Francisco (6-8) Don’t count these guys out yet. They live in the NFC West where the Seahawks are looking deader as the weeks go by. Their fate will be answered in the final week of the season. They just need to win out.

Golf Anyone?
21. Carolina (6-8) Everyone was jumping on the Carolina bandwagon earlier this season. Man a Steelers and Panthers Super Bowl would be great, oh wait, it really wasn’t. What happened to Carolina?

22. Miami (6-8) After getting pasted all over Buffalo this team has one goal in mind. Ruin the Jets season of glory. Miami will be ready to play come Christmas night.

23. St. Louis (6-8) Congratulations Mr. Bulger, a fellow Mountaineer on your second pro bowl selection. Other than that, there’s always next season.

24. Green Bay (6-8) Bret Favre you truly are a legend. Its just sad that we might not see you in the playoffs ever again. At least not with Green Bay.

25. Minnesota (6-8) You might have a great run defense, but any quarterback with talent can really put it to that pass defense. Lets see what this kid Jackson’s got.

26. Washington (5-9) Campbell looked decent against the Saints this past week, its just a shame they moved up on the draft boards.

27. Cleveland (4-10) Not a bad outing against Baltimore.

28. Arizona (4-10) As I have said, this team needs an offensive line. Plain and simple. Just imagine if Leinart had time. They already have the weapons, now protect them!

29. Tampa Bay (3-11) I’m impressed. I did call for these guys to be my upset of the week, so close. One question, why not Ratty all along?

30. Oakland (2-12) Just draft Baby!

31. Detroit (2-12) Lets go Tigers, Red Wings, and Pistons!

32. Houston (3-11) You may be wondering why Houston is last, when they do not have the worst record. It is simple, I like many other sports writers simply cant live down the fact that this team let Reggie Bush go. I mean c’mon REGGIE BUSH! How do you sleep at night?
