Ranking the Elite - Week 12 Edition

[Bmore]

Patriots beat the Broncos
Ravens beat the Patriots
Texans beat the Ravens

We have 2 huge upcoming games that will decide a lot as regards to playoffs position with Hou @ NE and Den @ Bal.

But with that said my top 10...

1. Houston Texans
2. San Fran 49ers
3. Atlanta Falcons
4. Baltimore Ravens
5. New England Patriots
6. Denver Broncos
7. New York Giants
8. Green Bay Packers
9. Chicago Bears
10. Indy Colts

As a Ravens fan I can say honestly that when we play away we are horrid on both offense and defense. But when we play in Baltimore, The Ravens are the best team in the league. Until someone ends the 17 game streak... (we have Steelers, Broncos, Giants visiting us still).

With that said I think the way that Houston demolished us, beat Denver, beat the Bears, if they beat the Pats in 2 weeks. There is no doubt they are the best.

 

[G-men]

1. Texans
2. Patriots
3. Giants
4. 49ers
5. Broncos
6. Bears
7. Ravens
8. Falcons
9. Packers
10. Colts

Maybe it's me being a homer, but I can't rate the 49ers ahead of the Giants until San Fran actually beats them. They are pretty much 3a and 3b to me, but I'll give NY the edge because of the head to head success.

 

[MrBill]

I would have had the Packers at the top of the list before they got dismantled last night by the Giants but I still think the Packers could do the same thing to the Giants if they met again in the playoffs. It doesn't really matter who is the hottest team right now though, it matters who is the hottest team in January.

If I had to rank the top 3 right now, I'd go Texans, 49ers, Giants.

[ram29jackson]

I'd like to go ahead and apologize for beginning a thread that has led to the two most retarded fucking posters on VSN having an argument. I'll just go ahead and disregard their arguments since they make absolutely no fucking sense whatsoever, as apparently Ram feels like the top rankings should be 1. Giants, 2. Minnesota, T3. San Francisco and St. Louis based off one game. Anywho...

LOLOL how immature are you? everything I said about SF and The Giants makes complete sense. SF has a great defense but their offense is a liability because both QBs are inconsistant. And again..you are mocking ME after rating the 49ers above the Giants and you think you are the smarter one ? LOLOL

They lost to the Giants last year in the playoffs and got pounded this year in the regular season. They dont have an answer for them LOL

now go take your pretend football knowledge to a NFL play 60 forum for kids and try to impress them instead, I'll just stay here and dream of big black balls being put in my mouth.

The Packers are the team that's going to make a run at the end of the season. They'll get Matthews, Woodson, Jennings, and Shields back, Crosby will find his top 5 touch, they will beat a few teams, and they'll fly through the playoffs.

But right now they suck.

With a quarterback that's better than Alex Smith, the 49ers are the best team by far.

this should be in the BOLD prediction thread...

Don't know, don't care. I think the Falcons do beat the Saints on Thursday night, but I'm totally fine with people being underwhelmed by them so far. They are not dominant, they don't put bad teams away, but nonetheless I think they can play with anybody.

Your favorite team sounds a lot like my favorite team!

 

[Houston]

Ask New England, Houston, Atlanta, Denver, New York, and Green Bay how successful they would be if their QB was put on the bench.

i agree. Hope they find their groove again for the end of the season and heading into the playoffs. Like I said in another thread it starts by limiting Turners carries even more.

 

[Hasselbeck]

Thread should be renamed "St. Francisco thinks the 49ers are the best in football" :smug:

But really, I'd say New England is the best team right now. They're getting hot.

 

[Influence]

Where's Indianapolis? I think you forgot a team

 

[Glenbino]

Denver has looked good against the dregs of the NFL over the past few weeks and all of their losses have been to quality teams including the two one loss teams but if the Pats have both of their TEs and at least one of their white slot guys healthy come playoff time the Broncos can't seem to figure out how to stop it for some reason.

 

[NAHSTE]

1. San Francisco (8-2-1) Wins over Chicago and New Orleans have proven to the league that this is perhaps the best assembled roster in the NFL

:yao:

A win over a team using its backup QB and a win over a 5-6 team with an awful defense prove this? Yeah, real strong barometers.

Also, good job losing twice and tying the fucking Rams.
