Butters' Coca Cola League Poll (where 1 is the worst of the worst and 10 is the best of the worst) (as of 11.15.2006)
|
We are almost coming to Gobble Gobble day .. Do the trimmings .. lay the fat .. eat the stove top .. laugh at Madden .. and wonder where this year's football season has gone. There have been some significant changes to the league. Some teams dropping really low or surprisingly higher. Here's the top 10:
|
1. Arizona Cardinals (1-8)
( LW : 1 )
|
After the poor showing against Dallas, Dennis Green is saying right now: "He was who we thought he was! and we let him beat us(reffering to Tony Homo)!" Heck. Drew Henson could beat the Cardinals right now.
|
2. Detroit Lions (2-7)
( LW : NR )
|
Why did i even think about them being contenders in the Coca cola league ? This team is off and on. After that poor showing against the 49ers, they deserve to be dropped this low.
|
3. Pittsburgh Steelers (3-6)
( LW : 3 )
|
Gritty win against my Saints. However, no changes in the ranking, because they are not playing with heart like the other teams listed below (not counting Minnesota).
|
4. Minnesota Vikings (4-5)
( LW : 10 )
|
Wow does 1 month make a difference. They have gone from contenders to pretenders pretty fast. Where do we start about Minny's problems ........
|
5. Houston Texans (3-6)
( LW : 2 )
|
2 wins against Jaxy proves they can win against big defenses. These are baby steps to becoming a good franchise. Kubiak pointing this team to the right direction.
|
6. Oakland Raiders (2-7)
( LW : 4 )
|
As much as we can rip Art Shell and the Raehders, their defense has been real solid the past couple of weeks. Don't blame the defense for that loss against Seattle though, because the offense was pathetic. Maybe Aaron Brooks and some interceptions can get this offense back on track, and keep the defense rested for once.
|
7. Tennessee Titans (2-7)
( LW : 5 )
|
Gritty loss against the Ravens. Vince Young is trying his best to work with whatever he's got. Give him props on that. At least he found the white receiver on the team. That's a plus.
|
8. Cleveland Browns (3-6)
( LW : 6 )
|
Now in my books as the "best" team in the Coca Cola League. Like I said last week, this team brings every game close to the final quarter, but Chaz Frye isn't going to help the Browns go over the next hump, and win the game for the team.
|
9. Miami Dolphins (3-6)
( LW : 7 )
|
2 wins in a row! wow. and also in impressive fashion. I feel another strong 2nd half for this team, looking at their schedule.
|
10. Dallas Cowboys (5-4)
( LW : 9 )
|
a non-impressive 27-10 win against the "they were who we thought they were" team. Tony Homo coming to get more comfortable with the plays. Since they are in the NFC East, they are always in contention to win the division until the last week of the season.
|
Honorable Mention :
|
Washington Redskins(3-6), Buffalo Bills(3-6), Green Bay Packers(4-5), San Francisco 49ers(4-5), Tampa Bay Buccaneers(2-7), New York Jets(5-4), Philadelphia Eagles(5-4), St. Louis Rams(4-5), Cincinnati Bengals(4-5), Atlanta(5-4)
