    This week Randers is out (probably was in the midst of a 36 hour fast and passed out), but the rest of us are here. Btw, for all you people wondering wug my thoughts on Tebow---he's just testing our faith. Did Jesus come back the next day after he was nailed to the cross? NOPE. Dude waited for 3 days. All the hate will pile up until Tebow leads us to the promised land and eternal salvation. GB

    Anyway here's the rankings with commentary from Bob Futon. (Individual rankings here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...hl=en_US#gid=0):


    Has there been a single week this season where at least one NFC East team didnt make their fans miserable with the way they lost? As a fan you are never happy when your team loses but the way the Cowboys, Eagles and Giants and to a lesser extent the Redskins, have found ways to lose has been amazing so far. Kudos. Also, congrats to the AFC West where somehow the Chargers are still alive and maybe someone can make the Hey Gary Kubiak turned it around, why cant Norv argument so Norv survives another year in San Diego. On to the rankings:

    1. Packers- I think Aaron Rodgers is 9-5 with the Patriots defense (just saying.)

    2. Saints- Huge blow to the Saints long term playoff aspirations with San Frans win last night. At this rate they will have to handle Detroit at home (they will at least beat you up) and then fly across the country to play San Francisco. I think both of those games are winnable but to have to then go and beat Green Bay seems a bit farfetched.

    3. Patriots- When I heard the fake rumor that Bon Jovi died, I just assumed that Belichick had sacrificed him to beat Jesus.

    4. 49ers- Impressive defensive performance without Patrick Willis last night (yeah I know Big Ben was banged up) but thats not San Frans fault. The one reason the 49ers cant beat the Packers? That pathetic red zone offense. Good luck beating Green Bay when you settle for 3 every time.

    5. Ravens- Minus their showing against Pittsburgh, it appears the Ravens are a very mediocre team when playing on the road.

    6. Steelers- How sexy is a Big Ben vs. Tebow matchup in the 1st round of the playoffs? Oh and insert joke about the power being off and Big Ben being in the building here.

    7. Texans- Our first, can they really do this with TJ Yates as their Quarterback game. Still like the Texans to get to 12 wins but sitting in the 3 seed means having to first get through the second AFC Wildcard team and then having to go INTO Baltimore. That is not a good proposition.

    8. Falcons- Julio Jones performance Thursday night might have mattered if his hamstring hadnt already kept a lot of teams out of fantasy playoffs.

    9. Lions- Pretty good matchup with a hot San Diego team this week. I would not want to have to win on the road in Green Bay in week 17, even if they might now be resting most of their guys.

    10. Cowboys- Eagles and Cowboys Saturday at 4:15. I cant decide if I want the Eagles season to be ruined or if I want Dallas to have to sweat 8 days going into that Giants game.

    11. Jets- I still think this is where Todd Haley ends up, Brian Schottenheimer extension be damned. Rex and Haley would be fun together.

    12. Giants- Now that Rodgers has lost, can we open up the MVP conversation to include Eli? Wait? The Giants lost to the Redskins? Eli threw 3 picks? But I thought you couldnt spell ELITE without Eli? What happened? !!!!!

    13. Broncos- Leave it to the team of the last decade to expose a false prophet.

    14. Eagles- With all the explosive weapons the Eagles have, wouldnt you rather play the Giants or Cowboys in the playoffs instead of these guys? Sure, they are by far and away the most gutless and inconsistent of the three, but its tough to matchup with these guys when they are healthy.

    15. Chargers- Insert Chargers where I had Eagles in the above. Insert Denver and Oakland where I had Giants and Cowboys. Rinse. Repeat.

    16. Bengals- Terrible night for the Bengals as well. Best case scenario was the Steelers won and Baltimore takes Week 17 off to rest for the first round. Now they will get 100% of Baltimore in Week 17.

    17. Seahawks- Seattles defense singlehandedly turned the tide of a couple fantasy playoff games.

    18. Cardinals- There are like 15 different things that need to happen but we are 1 week away from possibly having an 8-7 Cardinals team playing an 8-7 Seahawks team in a game that would have playoff implications. These are the things that happen in the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE.

    19. Raiders- How does that Carson Palmer trade look now?

    20. Titans- Let the Jake Locker Era begin! It probably should have begun a few weeks ago.

    21. Dolphins- The frisky Dolphins have the ability to still make a large impact on the AFC Playoff race. They could A) knock New England out of the top seed this weekend- very possible with the Patriots possibly having a letdown after beating Jesus. B) They could knock the Jets out of the playoffs in Week 17. I think one of these happens.

    22. Panthers- I can remember someone posting about every team this year other than the Panthers. Do they actually have any fans?

    23. Bears- Obviously this low due to all the injuries. The good news is Jay Cutlers thumb should be heal up in time for his wedding.

    24. Redskins- A couple solid performances in a row from the Skins. After pushing New England to the limit they go in and deal a significant blow to the Giants playoff hopes.

    25. Chiefs- I think Romeo just earned that job. Next up? Josh McDaniels offensive coordinator time!

    26. Vikings- Worst ranking of the week, these guys should be much lower. What exactly have these guys done to be ranked better than a half dozen teams?

    27. Bills- That Ryan Fitzpatrick contract might be Buffalos worst decision since Rob Johnson.

    28. Jaguars- I guess I will give it one more year but Blaine Gabbert does not look like the guy at QB. The good news is this seems like a great landing spot for Tebow in 2013 after Elway kicks him out of Denver.

    29. Browns- The Browns offense might suck, but Greg Little owners are rejoicing if they had him in the #3 WR Slot this week.

    30. Bucs- I think Raheem Morris has to go, these guys have looked awful this year.

    31. Rams- I mean, Sam Bradford has no trade value unless he restructures his contract right? I think the Rams have to ride this out but its going to be tough to pass on the QBs in this years class.

    32. Colts- As a Patriots fan, I really hope Jim Caldwell is brought back for another year.

    I'll just go ahead and assume this was written by someone who hasn't watched a Giants game all season.

    Really? THIS is the week you choose to tack the result on Palmer, who had a pretty fine game (save giving up the sack at the end) and gave his defense a 2 score lead in the mid-4th? You guys are more like ESPN every day, picking a theme and running with it regardless of the evidence in front of you.

    It's not like I'm defending the team. I've been rooting for fun games and general anarchy since week 3. (Luckily I'm the only Eagles fan I know who didn't have high expectations going into the season.) But your statement is just absurd. Reminds me why I hate living in this fucking city sometimes.

    I've seen Good Will Hunting and Gone Baby Gone, and it looks like there's a lot of obnoxious white trash drunkards in Boston.

    Actually saw Gone Baby Gone twice.

    Everyone not playing QB for the Denver Broncos likes to party, but Boston has a lot of meatheads like Sully and Patty who always need to punctuate their consumption with unprovoked uppercuts.

    New York is a much better city to drink in than Boston (it's like comparing Bill Belichick to Art Shell). I think anyone who has done significant drinking in both could not dispute that.

    The problem is, you can: a) go drinking and spend a Fortune, b) drink mid price range and be stuck with hipsters and scarf wearing Euro Trash scenesters, or c) drink cheaply somewhere where you have to be very careful who you look at or talk to.

    If you're trying to close the deal with a latina, they don't want to go to a cheap place they normally hang out, so your choices are either a) or b); if you are close to closing the deal, or if she is a 7.5 or above, you go with a). I try to hit for average instead of homeruns, so my wheelhouse includes a lot of 5-7.5s, so I am forced to be with those that I most detest - hipsters and scarf wearing Euro Trash scenesters. I attempt to turn this situation to my benefit by making her laugh at the expense of the PBR and American Spirits crowd.

    I'm more of a Mark Bellhorn than a Rod Carew, so usually it just ends up with me taking the train home alone and hoping a backback wearing wool hat beardo fuck is close enough to the opening subway door for me to smack into him and call him an asshole.

    2. Saints- Huge blow to the Saints long term playoff aspirations with San Frans win last night. At this rate they will have to handle Detroit at home (they will at least beat you up) and then fly across the country to play San Francisco. I think both of those games are winnable but to have to then go and beat Green Bay seems a bit farfetched.

    Let's make sure the Niners win in Seattle on Saturday before we go ahead and crown their ass with the #2 seed.

    You should probably worry more about beating the Falcons instead of what the Niners are doing.
