Reaction to New NFL Power Rankings

[CramerNation]

Let me start off by saying cha-ching. Glad to be part of the site.

Secondly, let me list my beefs with the new power rankings..
cowboys over rams? (hurts to say that)
- if you're reasoning for putting the seahawks so high is because of winning their division, the rams were pretty damn close. The cowboy's hope of winning a division title was out the window early in the season. Anyways, with the cowboy's inconsistent secondary, who says that Bradford couldn't capitalize.

packers over colts??
- Both these teams share a common characteristic that wins them games. A quarterback. Both these teams can probably thank their quarterbacks for several of their W's. So for me, these two teams' comparisons come down to a quarterback question...Who do you take? P. Manning or A. Rodgers?

lions over raiders???
- These two teams may share in their inconsistencies. But there is one thing the raiders have that the lions don't. Darren McFadden. There have been times in the season where the raiders shown signs of domination. Particularly on the ground. I can't ever remember the lions dominating a game. They are either playing catch up or blowing a lead.

This is just one man's opinion.

Despite their record... I think the Lions are one of the best teams that didn't make the playoffs. I know that sounds crazy, but they are and will be legit.

Um... What about the Giants, Chargers and Bucs? Granted the Bucs got a lot of their wins against the Panthers and NFC West, but still. I do like the Lions over the Raiders though.

I feel MySportsArena got it right when ordering the Buc, Giants, and Chargers. All of these are fringe teams with good rosters but didn't have what it took when it counted. You can make a point that the Giants do play in the NFC East, one of the toughest divisions, but any reshuffle here is not as obvious as I pointed out in the beginning of this thread. It's still over my head why everyone likes the lions over the raiders. Maybe it's that underdog syndrome. I'm not a raiders fan one bit or am I crazy about a single player on heir team..but did anyone see that final raiders/chiefs game??
