Week 11 NFL Power Ranking

November 15, 2011

	Team	Last Week	Comment
1.			Good news: 9-0, defense played great Bad News: It was against an under matched Vikings team
2.			Alex Smith threw only his third interception of year against the Giants. SF has a league leading +13 Turnover ratio.
3.			37-16 is a statement win for the Pat’s. Andre Carter had 4.5 sacks in the game which is unbelievable.
4.			Much needed division win but Big Ben has a broken thumb to deal with now.
5.			The news has been about 4th and 1 but the Saints have a 2 game lead in the NFC South.
6.			You do not want to play this team right now and that even goes for the Packers.
7.			Losing Schaub will make it harder but they have a great running game, o-line and defense to work with.
8.			Who are you? Being the least consistent team in the NFL is the only thing that you can count on.
9.			Not having Ahmad Bradshaw had a big impact on Week 10’s loss to SF. Jacobs is a complimentary player at best.
10.			Detroit’s depth is being exposed. Since losing Jahvid Best they’re 1-3 and without a running game.
11.			Andy Dalton has thrown the most TD’s (14) in his first 9 games since the merger.
12.			Dallas’s offense is only getting better. Felix Jones returns in Week 11 but it’s Murray’s backfield.
13.			Michael Bush showed how valuable he is to the Raiders offense considering McFadden gets hurt every year.
14.			0 sacks and 1 QB hit is a recipe for losing when you’re playing Brady and the Pat’s offense.
15.			A much needed appearance from Chris Johnson helped them rout the lowly Panthers.
16.			Julio Jones could miss Week 11 with an injury to his other hamstring. Big game against the Titans this week.
17.			Buffalo is falling fast and a loss to the Dolphins could end it for a team that was a bright spot early on.
18.			It’s time for the Chargers to move on from Norv Turner. 5 years of disappointments is more than enough.
19.			DeSean Jackson may not have great stats but not having him puts a lot of pressure on the teams passing game.
20.			The return of Beast Mode. Marshawn Lynch has two straight 100 yard, 1 td games for the Seahawks.
21.			What happens if Tebow gets hurt? Does Brady Quinn run the Tebow offense? Interesting situation in Denver.
22.			Josh Freeman has a worse passer rating than Tarvaris Jackson, Matt Moore and Colt McCoy.
23.			Jacksonville’s defense loses CB Rashean Mathis which could have a big impact moving forward.
24.			Miami is going 3 straight wins and Matt Moore is playing pretty good, as crazy as that sounds.
25.			I’m going to go out on limb and say that Tyler Palko will help the Chiefs secure a top-five draft pick.
26.			John Skelton is one win away from doing what Michael Vick did to Kevin Kolb in Philly.
27.			A 30-3 loss to the Titans at home? Cam can generate headlines but not wins. They need more talent.
28.			It’s amazing that Mike Shanahan said that he was willing to bet his reputation on Grossman/Beck.
29.			Jared Allen and Adrian Peterson are watching the prime of their careers waste away in Minnesota.
30.			Brandon Lloyd has been a much needed for the Sam Bradford and Rams but he’ll be a free agent at the end of the season.
31.			The Mike Holmgren experiment isn’t working for the Browns. They too are depleted of talent.
32.			If the Colts draft Andrew Luck they will have committed 20% of the teams salary cap to the QB position assuming they keep Manning.
