Default Absolutely pathetic

These have got to be the most pathetic power rankings I've ever seen. Dallas at number 4 ahead of the Colts? Jets at number 6 after back to back losses?

This is how the NFL's 32 teams stack up after 14 weeks.

* New York Giants
11-2 (Previous: 1) Maybe the Plaxico Burress distraction was larger than some of us thought it would be.
* Pittsburgh Steelers
10-3 (2)It's defensive history in the making, although it won't matter if they fail to take care of business in Baltimore.
* Tennessee Titans
12-1 (3)Division championship: check. Home-field advantage: check.
* Dallas Cowboys
8-5 (4)The road to the postseason only gets more treacherous.
* Indianapolis Colts
9-4 (7)They continue to take advantage of a soft schedule, but they still would be a very dangerous wild-card team.
* New York Jets
8-5 (6)A once-promising season is beginning to quickly fizzle.
* Carolina Panthers
10-3 (11)A dominant rushing attack, like the one they displayed on Monday Night Football, is the key to December success.
* Arizona Cardinals
8-5 (8)Congrats on winning one of the NFL's sorriest divisions. Now let's see what you can do in the postseason.
* Baltimore Ravens
9-4 (9)The Ravens' second-ranked defense gets to show off its muscles against the Steelers' top-ranked defense.
* Tampa Bay Buccaneers
9-4 (5)Since when does a Monte Kiffin defense forget how to tackle?
* Atlanta Falcons
8-5 (10)The Falcons couldn't have picked a worse time for their run defense to disappear. They'd better find it, and fast!
* New England Patriots
8-5 (12)That was a huge comeback win at Seattle, but how does this team overcome yet another lost player on defense?

If you flip Dallas at 4 with Baltimore at 9 then it's about right if you ask me.

Writers doing their job, getting people to talk about their articles and linking to them to generate the hits. Sometimes the most read content isn't the most accurate content.

I think it looks reasonable.

The rankings mean nothing, but they are kinda fun.

I understand you don't like the Jets, that's cool.

Jets won the most important NFL game of all time, and since then have sort of tailed off a bit.

maybe next year you can jump on the band wagon after the Jets win the AFCE for the 2nd year in a row.

As always, you are nobly defending your team and, as always, you are wrong; though, I must say that your description of the last 40 years of Jests history as "tailed off a bit" is a real gem.
