Uh, Jaguar, you have the NY Giants and the Tennessee Titans both ranked below the Bears.

Yep. The NYG are on a 7 game losing streak. The Titans are utterly worthless. They give up 550+ yards a game on defense.

The Bears actually have a better-than-average defense.

No, I meant what I said. I hardly agree with his power rankings.

[Jaguar]

It was a joke.

Ummmm, this is the NFL, not college.

So what? Are they or are they not called QBs in college? The reason they don't play QB in the pros is because of the potential beating they would get from a much faster defense. Just because the NFL QBs has the skill set of pass, pass, pass, doesn't mean one that runs more often (and successfully) isn't a good QB. He's just a different QB.

Miami is at least better than:

Cleveland
Tennessee
Oakland
NY Giants
Detroit
Chicago
Tampa Bay
New Orleans
Arizona
San Francisco

Maybe
No way in Hell
Nope
Ok, I'll give you that one, but Giants with Warner are better than the Fins
Nope
Yes
Nope
Nope
Maybe
Maybe... ok, probably

[Jaguar]

I'm just saying that if they were in the NFC they'd be 6-8.

[Imran Siddiqui]

No, more like 4 and 10, at BEST! They are a horrid team. Hell, look at their stats. They have no running game and only an average passing game.

The Giants gave almighty Pittsburgh all they could handle. The Titans are passing for about 450 yds/game. Both offer their fans a semblance of hope.

Not Chicago.

The Bears rank about 45th in offense (roughly 50 yd/game worse than the #31 team). This week, they had an average starting field position of their own 40 and scored 3 freaking points (plus 2 on a safety). They lead the league in sacks given up by a wide margin. They have a TOTAL of 8 points the last 2 games.

On D, they give up lots of yards and play for TOs -- but haven't forced a turnover in two weeks. They give up over 140 yd/game rushing without Urlacher (131/game total), and the big guy is likely out for the year.

Don't be fooled by the 5 wins. Look at point differential, and what direction the arrows are pointing. If you really believe your rankings are current, you must heed these realities.

I scored the most points this season

but I ended up on second place. And I just lost the first round of playoff last night . Peyton Manning just didn't do as well as he normally does for me.

[Jaguar]

I too am Manning-dependent, and I managed to scrape through by 2 points. He should have a big game against the Chargers now, though.

IF YOU HAVEN'T MADE YOUR LOMBARDI PICKS YOU ONLY HAVE A SHORT TIME LEFT TO DO SO!!!!!

ACK!
