Might as well leave 'em up there, Roddy.
16) Atlanta Falcons (3-3) – The beginning of the season probably had most of Atlanta learning new knots and measuring rope, but all seems to be well and the Falcons are finally performing how we’ve expected them to perform, except for anyone whose name rhymes with Shmoddy Shmite.
17) Houston Texans (3-3) – All the Texans have to do is stay even with the Tennessee Titans and they should be able to win the division once Andre Johnson returns. Amazing how this season isn’t just a cake walk, but then this is a team that allowed defenses to completely mangle David Carr and then said he wasn’t good enough.
18) Tennessee Titans (3-2) – Did the Titans even kick the tires on Brandon Lloyd? Seems to me that if a team announces that it is willing to give away last year’s leading receiver, and you lost your top receiver for the season, you may want to purchase some extra Boost Mobile minutes and make that call.
19) Washington Redskins (3-2) – I always liked John Beck when the Dolphins drafted him, thinking that if they could sit him for a season or two he could be a quality NFL QB. Instead, they David Carr’d him. I have a little gut feeling that he might be ready to step it up. There’s also a good chance that gut feeling is an ulcer.
20) Cincinnati Bengals (4-2) – Bengals owner Mike Brown was hellbent that he was not going to reward Carson Palmer by trading him, and that he was going to make him stay retired. Well Palmer has been rewarded because he’s going to the Oakland Raiders, but not before they send the Bengals two first round draft picks. Things are unusually great in Cinnci right now.
21) Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2) – I haven’t watched much of the Steelers this season, which is odd because I watch every game on Sundays, but if you asked me to guess their record off the top of my head based on what I have seen I would say 2-4. That’s how underwhelming this team is.
22) Buffalo Bills (4-2) – Welcome back to Earth, Bills fans. Don’t worry, though, you’re still way better than the Jets.
23) New Orleans Saints (4-2) – Just when I was starting to think that this was a clear cut 13-3 or 12-4 season for the Saints, they go and lose to the Bucs. I will never understand football.
24) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-2) – Seriously, I just don’t understand how this team wins games with a bunch of players like Arrelious Benn and Preston Parker, who should be starring on a game show called, “NFL Players or Gossip Girls Characters?”
25) New York Giants (4-2) – I feel like the Giants are a lot better than anyone is giving them credit for, and that is a very scary thing. Wait a second, this just in…

“Why on Earth would Tony Sparano and his coaching staff cow tow”
Burnsy, it’s “kowtow”
/pushes glasses back to top of nose
There is no way in hell that Luck doesn’t declare for the draft after this season. Good call on the Case Keenum comparison Burnsy.
Ugh, I’ve had zero coffee.
I second the throwing to Jermichael Finely motion.
“My buddy and I spent a good hour last week discussing what it is about Philip Rivers that makes us hate him so much. We don’t even know. We just do.”
Everything. Try and list one thing you LIKE about him. Go ahead. I’ll wait.
And, no, Marmalard posts on KSK don’t count. Though, they are the only good thing that will ever come from Phillip Rivers’ legacy.
I disagree, the Dolphins are tanking it. How the hell did Marshall manage to run out of bounds last night when he had the ball with a few yards head start and an open field in front of him? And how about that risky, long pass attempt on 3rd and inches? And why did the Dolphins run effective blitzes in the first part of the game and then stop? Ross is either paying Sparano off, or promised to keep him next year, if he wins suck for Luck.
I think Sparano is staying regardless because Ross knows how badly he botched that whole Harbaugh courting. But that one Brandon play is going to be talked about all season as the defining moment. I love it because it gives this whole theory life.
The Dolphins are starting Moore at QB, they are obviously tanking it.
The reason you hate Philip Rivers is because, every January, he makes the same pouty face after his 4th interception, like “How DARE they catch what I’m throwing right at them? I’m supposed to go to the Super Bowl, not you, stupid Tom Brady!!!”
Dolphins tanking conspiracy theory:
For agreeing to tank the season for Ross Sparano gets to keep his job and he gets to fly around with Ross as he interviews new GM candidates. After finding a new GM he gets to ask for Ireland’s playbook. Paybacks a bitch.
that picture of Eli makes the whole grantland most eligible pseudo-bachelor qb articles even more incomprehensible to me. i just dont.. i mean what
Another reason you hate Philip Rivers is because he doesn’t throw to Vincent Jackson when you start Jackson in fantasy, but does when he’s on your bench.
guy’s a cock.
“Welcome back to Earth, Bills fans.”
Because we lost on the road by 3 points to one of the top teams in the NFC? I agree with the ranking, though. Just don’t think we we’re really “brought back down to earth. It was a pretty even game.
@holdsteady154 – When you guys stop recording 400 fan anthems a week for your early season victories we’ll consider you back on Earth.
I think it`s an NFL conspiracy that the Dolphins are as bad as they are. They haven`t had a QB since Marino retired, so the league wants Miami to get the next chosen one. The brass are in on it, but not the players. But the players don`t need to be in on it because their offense is offensive. Why else do you explain yesterday`s game where Cam Wake was getting tackled to the ground/having his jersey pulled on almost every play and not only was there no call, neither Jaws or Gruden called it, and they criticized the Dolphins for not putting pressure on Sanchez? They don’t want to make it obvious.
The 2nd first round pick is conditional. If the Raiders don’t win a playoffs game, it turns into a second round pick. Regardless, that is still pretty steep for a guy who is almost done with the game.
I’m deaf so can’t actually hear the Cutler recording. Is it a spoof? Or did he really tell Martz to go fuck himself?
I think Cutler is brilliant. If I had to choose a quarterback for the Eagles, out of any QB’s in the NFL, I would have to give serious thought to picking between Rodgers or Cutler.
Ontario is a Canadian province, not a Canadian city, dumbass.
Oh wait, you’re Floridian. I think that mistake qualifies you as the smartest person in your state.
Who is the doo-doo face now, Burnsy?
YOU ARE!
I like how Peter King said that if the NFL would just let coaches wear suits like in olden times, these wacky Harbaugh handshake fights wouldn’t happen. Oh, you mean like how Mike Nolan wore suits? Maybe he just wants the Niners to suck again. Anyway, I’m still adjusting my eyes every time I see the 49ers in the top end of the power rankings. CAN IT BE REAL???? EEEEEEE!
Cutler is a far more hateable fuckwit than Rivers. I never understood how that wasn’t a fact even in their limp wrist shouting matches.
