2008 NFL Power Rankings: Week 12

2008 in the NFL is a season for the ages, and Week 11 did not disappoint. Week 11 had many shootouts and showdowns all around the league. The big stories include the Titans staying undefeated at 10-0, the Jets beating the Patriots in overtime to reach the top of the standings in the AFC East, and the Cowboys having their revenge on the Redskins. 

Without boring you with details, I present to you Week 12’s Power Rankings.

 

32.  Lions  0-10

The Lions are officially one week closer to going 0-16.  There is not much to report on when it comes to the Lions.  Good luck against the 7-3 Buccaneers in Week 12!

 

31.  Chiefs  1-9

The Chiefs once again fought valiantly in Week 11 only to come up short of pay dirt.  Tyler Thigpen has continued to perform well and with Larry Johnson back in the lineup, less stress will be put on Thigpen’s shoulders. 

The Chiefs have the ability and schedule in place to possibly win a game or two before season’s end, maybe even this Sunday against a fallen 5-5 Bills team.

 

30.  Bengals  1-8-1

Chad “Ocho Cinco” Johnson has remained relatively quiet this season while battling through injuries while T.J. Houshmandzadeh has now taken the podium as the wide receiver on the Bengals with the biggest mouth. 

Many of us saw T.J. throw his temper tantrums all day long in the Bengals overtime tie to the Eagles. Now at 1-8-1, will the Bengals finally place Carson Palmer on the injured reserve?

 

29.  Raiders  2-8

I have spoken to many Raiders fans as of late and I agree with them as many have said the Raiders will not return to glory until the former mastermind owner turned Crypt Keeper, Al Davis finally bites the dust. Many of those Raiders fans are still wishing Lane Kiffin was still leading the team this season. 

The offense has been non-existent and his looked horrible while interim coach Tom Cable has been in charge. Will the Raiders be humiliated once again by the Broncos in Week 12, or will they revenge their Week One blowout?

 

28.  Seahawks

  1. That is a horrible power rankings list, you obviously copied and pasted the team records 1-32.

    You did nothing on your part.

    My Rams are the worst team in the NFL, they have only played in 3 games, literally, all of their other 7 losses have been blowouts. Lions have had 5 close games actually.

    Bottom 3:

    1. Rams
    2. Lions
    3. Raiders

    Chiefs have put up an effort against top teams.

    Top 5:

    1. Giants, I hate them so much, but they are the complete team right now
    2. Titans are 10-0, for now, but I remember the 03 Chiefs well
    3. Cardinals, #1 offense in the league, probably League MVP, defense is shaping up
    4. Panthers, Delhomme has been carried this year, but the team is top notch save for 4 games
    5. Jets, making up for Favre's inconsistency, most improved

    1. Ok, before I even respond I just want to say I appreciate the time you and everyone has taken to check out my articles over the past few weeks. In my own defense, I do not appreciate you bad mouthing the article. You could have taken a different, more respectable approach to be completely honest. Now a days teams are based on their record. A team can have a ton of talent on that ball field but it does not always equal a winning record. I rank my teams by what their outcome is on that field. However I feel about a team, I will report it in my rankings. I sort and rank my teams by their records as well as their wins/losses against opposing teams. I take the time in what I do and enjoy doing it. By all means, you are welcome to your own beliefs but feel free keep them to yourself and do your own Power Rankings if you have nothing nice to say. That's all- good luck and God speed.
