NFL Pecking Order: Week 15

Could we see a Super Bowl between two undefeated teams? It’s starting to look like a possibility. - Mike Kaus

The Colts continue to cruise towards a potentially undefeated season. 16-0 will soon be forgotten if the Colts turn in another disappointing post-season effort. - Rob Leath

Minnesota got back on track with a complete effort against a solid Bengals squad. The return of Antoine Winfield rejuvenated the defense, and with Jasper Brinkley playing well in the middle, the defense may not take a huge step back with E.J. Henderson sidelined. - Rob Leath

If Indy follows through with their plan to significantly rust, er, rest their players during the final few weeks of the season not even the power of Norv Turner may be able to keep this team from making it to Miami. - Gary Davenport

DeSean Jackson is a beast. Philly needs him healthy to stand a chance. - Scott Fish

Cincinnati has to play better than that if they want to make it to a Super Bowl. The competition throughout the playoffs will be the caliber of the Vikings. - Mike Kaus

This is why I just can’t bring myself to call the Cards a legitimate Super Bowl Contender. Coming off a dominant performance against the Vikings the Redbirds bore down and plopped out a seven turnover turd against San Fran. - Gary Davenport

The Pack continues to inch closer to a wild-card berth and they’re doing it in different ways, not simply relying on Aaron Rodgers to chuck it all over the field. - Rob Leath

The Good News? Brandon Marshall turned in a jaw-dropping performance that shook many a fantasy league to its’ foundations. The Bad? In the end that means squat except to geeks like us because the Broncos still lost. - Gary Davenport

7-0 at home, 1-5 on the road. At the moment, they’ll be on the road on wildcard weekend… if they even make it. - Scott Fish

The ‘Boys didn’t quite have enough to take out the streaking Chargers, they’ll need to really bring their best game to take out NO. - Scott Fish

The Ravens haven’t been playing great, but their competition for the 6th spot in the playoffs hasn’t either. Their remaining schedule looks favorable. - Mike Kaus

The Giants take on the 4-9 Redskins this week, however the Redskins have been playing like a playoff team as of late. - Scott Fish

A drubbing of the St. Louis Rams is pretty much commonplace in the NFL, but the Titans appear to be a team that could make some noise in 2010. - Rob Leath

Too little, too late for Houston. - Rob Leath

Miami just seem to get a breather, one game back and they have to figure out how to stop Chris Johnson this week. - Scott Fish

Ohhhhh. When you said “unleash hell,” you meant that you would unleash hell on your fans. I get it. What a blowhard. - Mike Kaus

Playing Atlanta without Ryan and Turner is just like playing the Bucs, Rams, Browns, etc. This shouldn’t be hard. - Scott Fish

With so many injuries it’s impossible to keep up in the playoff race. This team had a lot of unrealized promise coming into this year. - Mike Kaus

The Jags couldn’t even sell out a quasi-playoff game against the ‘Phins. Perhaps their fan(s) even realize they’re not a playoff-worth bunch. - Rob Leath

The Niners kept their slim playoff hopes alive by opening one of their Christmas presents early, because if that wasn’t a gift-wrapped gimme of a win I dunno what is. - Gary Davenport

The game versus the Patriots would have been really ugly if Carolina hadn’t gotten so many turnovers. - Mike Kaus

How does this team have 5 wins. A team averaging 16 points per game shouldn’t have 5 wins. Only 6 teams have scored less points this season. - Scott Fish

The Bears continue to sink further and without 1st or 2nd round picks, there may not be much hope for 2010. - Rob Leath

The Redskins have been pretty good football as of late and their defense is holding them up. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late in a tight division. - Scott Fish

Not going to win many football games when you give up 8,752 passing yards…in the first half. - Gary Davenport

Eight seconds after JaMisfire Russell re-entered the Raiders lineup an ad appeared on Oakland, California’s Craigslist employment page titled “Quarterback Wanted”. - Gary Davenport

Dwayne Bowe returns to the Chiefs this week to help KC with their late season push for the….well, Dwayne Bowe returns this week. - Gary Davenport

A 48-3 beatdown at the hands of the Ravens sends the Lions spiraling towards another Top 5 pick. - Rob Leath

Cleveland fans act like they won the Super Bowl. While it was a nice win, the Steelers are kinda sucky this year, and you may have lost a chance at Suh. - Mike Kaus

One bright spot for the Buccaneers this week: no one (outside of Cleveland) was happier about the Browns victory. Suh looks like a perfect pick. - Mike Kaus

See? Now THAT’S how you play for the Suh-weepstakes. Cleveland could learn something from that dominant performance at sucking. - Gary Davenport
