ESPN Power Rankings: Week 9

Skins:  #24 - up two from last week.
Pears:  #23 - down four from last week.
Puckers:  #7 - down one from last week.
Iggles:  #5 - down two from last week.
Texanas:  #21 - up two from last week.

Skins coming off of a tremendous win on MNF agains the Cowboys in Dallas.  Impressive win but need to follow that up with a win against the Viqueens in Minnesota otherwise that Dallas win is pretty meaningless.

Pears are on the brink of disaster.  Porous defense where tackling is optional.  Cutler throws picks.  He LOVES to throw picks!  Trestman is losing control.  They have a bye week and need to figure this out.

Puckers need to shore up the defense.  They also have a bye week which is good as it gives more time for Rodgers to heal up that hammy.  They would be a VERY different team with Flynn at the helm.

Iggles and Texanas battle in Houston.  Foles needs to be more consistent and the Iggles need this win against a tough Houston defense to show that they truly are a top team in the NFC.  Fitzpatrick needs to make some plays and not lose this game for Houston.

I think the NFC south is pretty interesting. The Saints are tied for first place with a record of 3-4 with a game in hand over the 3-4-1 Panthers. The Saints have had bumps but still have a chance to win the division. I don't like the fact that if the playoffs started today, that one of the following teams: Packers 5-3, Lions 6-2, 49ers 4-3, Seahawks 4-3, Cardinals 6-1,Cowboys 6-2 or Eagles 6-2 would miss the playoffs while the Saints whose division is so bad that they could win it at 7-9 would be in the playoffs, and host a home game. It makes no sense. Unnecessary credit is given to a division title. Who cares if a terrible team finished with a better record than 3 other terrible teams. It should just be the top 6 teams from each conference make the playoffs.

Well, the playoffs don't start today and it's not how you start but how you finish. They Saints came into this season with high expectations. They may have disappointed thus far but they had an impressive win last week so we'll have to see what team they really are in the coming weeks. Maybe they will become the team they thought they would be coming into the year.

That's the beauty of sports and the reason why you lace them up every game. You have no idea what stories will be written.
