Scout.com > Jacksonville Power Rankings Story URL: http://jac.scout.com/2/824519.html Charlie Bernstein JagNation.com Dec 25, 2008 It’s the list that everyone loves to hate, our meaningless power rankings. The Contenders 1. Tennessee Titans- Very impressive performance by the Titans defense without Haynesworth and Vanden Bosch. (4) 2. New York Giants- Gutsy win by the Giants over Carolina, but they needed some luck. (3) 3. Carolina Panthers- They found a way to lose home field advantage, that may be huge. (2) 4. Pittsburgh Steelers- I’m not sure if they can score enough points to go to the Super Bowl. (1) 5. Baltimore Ravens- I’m officially a believer in Flacco. (5) 6. Indianapolis Colts- Manning is playing at the highest level of his career. (6) Good, But Not a Real Contender 7. Atlanta Falcons- The Mike Smith Coach of the Year Award. (9) 8. New England Patriots- These guys may not make the playoffs. Ridiculous. (7) 9. Miami Dolphins- Great opportunity for Pennington this week. (17) 10. Dallas Cowboys- Romo is as clutch as A-Rod. (8) 11.

New Orleans Saints- If they could only play Detroit every week. (19) The Underachievers 20. Washington Redskins- Maybe Zorn isn’t the worst coach in America? (22) 21. Green Bay Packers- They’ll be okay with Rodgers, the defensive line is a different story. (23) 22. Chicago Bears- Please draft a quarterback this time around. (18) 23. Buffalo Bills- Look who showed up to play spoiler. (24) 24. Jacksonville Jaguars- They fought hard, but they need a big time QB. (21) 25. Seattle Seahawks- They’ve competed the entire season.
