There’s simply too much going on after two weeks of NFL action to limit my thoughts to just a few things, especially since I watch every single game with the focus of a drunken toddler. And since I’m also a self-loathing Miami Dolphins fan, I’m quickly turning my attention more to next year’s ultimate prize – screw the Super Bowl – Andrew Luck.
So welcome to the first installment of the “Suck for Luck” Power(less) Rankings, where we’ll be monitoring the crappier teams and their hopeless freefalls toward the No. 1 draft pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. A few notes before we begin:
1) The rankings in no way indicate actual draft orders, as they’re just my week-to-week opinions. They also do not represent teams that necessarily need a QB, so don’t argue that certain teams wouldn’t draft Luck. Even if a team with a QB winds up with that top pick, they’ll still trade it for a desperate team’s entire draft.
B) Please remember that all power rankings are just, in fact, opinion and in no way represent actual standings or any kind of impact on the actual game.
III) This is mostly just a way for us fans of lousy teams to fend off sports depression and suicide threats. Damn you, 7-day waiting periods.
Now on with the fun…

Jim Caldwell should send his whole team to get stem cell treatment on their hearts.
1. Indianapolis Colts (0-2) – As the fellas at our cooler older brother, Kissing Suzy Kolber, have already pondered – do you really want to live in a world in which the Colts can give Andrew Luck the Aaron Rodgers comfort zone behind Peyton Manning for a year or two? It’s a terrifying thought.
2. Miami Dolphins (0-2) – The Dolphins may be 0-2 and look incredibly foolish for letting both Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams – and possibly even Channing Crowder – walk, but Tony Sparano doesn’t give a squat about Luck because he won’t be around to enjoy him.
3. Kansas City Chiefs (0-2) – Jamaal Charles, the fruit of my fantasy football loins, is out for the season. Todd Haley looks to be on the verge of a fantastic press conference meltdown. What’s your prediction? I’ve got Week 5.
4. Seattle Seahwaks (0-2) – Sidney Rice may have a torn labrum, which sounds so filthy. Either way, the Seahawks may not even benefit from playing in the NFC West. If only there had been some way for the team to know that Pete Carroll isn’t a good NFL coach.
5. Minnesota Vikings (0-2) – Positive – Adrian Peterson looks phenomenal. Negative – Donovan McNabb is still himself. I hope Christian Ponder has been warming up.
6. New York Giants* (0-1) – Settle down, New York fans. I know that these woes are because of a crippled defense. And while I’m predicting that the Giants lose tonight, they would drop a few spots if they prove me wrong.
7. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-1) – Sure, Jacksonville has a win, but I’m not counting wins against Indy.
8. Carolina Panthers (0-2) – The best thing that could happen to Carolina would be to get the No. 1 pick again and trade it for 4 or 5 picks. Worst case scenario, the Panthers win some games and Cam Newton continues to look pretty damn good.
9. San Francisco 49ers (1-1) – Originally, I would have predicted the 49ers tanking the season to grab Luck. Now I think they can win the NFC West, despite having Alex Smith. Funny how a good coach can change things.
10. Arizona Cardinals (1-1) – The Cardinals’ defense is atrocious. Kevin Kolb can be good, but not good enough to make up for a defense that allowed Rex Grossman to pull off a come-from-behind. This defense has so many holes that Antonio Cromartie tried to f*ck it.

“Buffalo Bills (2-0) – I’m as shocked as the next guy.”
Next guy = everyone
Not to be picky, but Jacksonville didn’t play Indy. I believe that honor was bestowed upon the Texans week one. That said, they still belong on the list.
JAX beat the Titans in week one.
Roethlisberger is going to end up in a wheelchair by week 9 with that piss poor O-line.
If the Colts win the Luck sweepstakes the Dolphins will write a letter to Roger Goodell about it being ‘unfair’.
28. Exactly.
GOD DAMMIT, NINERS! YOU’RE NOT EVEN GOOD AT SUCKING!
Brady Quinn is the Broncos backup QB known to “lay healing hands” on groins. Then again, if Royal or Lloyd need a circumcision, we got that covered too.
The 49ers are kind of competitive and it’s freaking me out!
All of Rex Grossman’s throws are frozen ropes. And by “frozen ropes” I mean money shots that haven’t finished buffering.
can you feel it? the power of the bills.
The Pats are not that good. Soon as they meet a real offense that isn’t set up by Norv Turner, they will get killed.
Surrounded by Bucs fans? How is that even possible?
Holy shit are you kidding about the Pats? The Defense let Chad Henne throw for 400 yards!!?
Also, after 2 games you are ready to give Detroit the Lombardi trophy? Stafford looks nasty but that secondary is still terrible and they are not going to play KC every week.
