With the draft in the books and free agency activity slowing, it’s finally time for the first edition of 2012 power rankings. In the parenthesis are my projected records for each time. 1. New York Giants (12-4) The Giants have been relatively quiet in free agency this year. I wasn’t a huge fan of their first round selection of David Wilson, but it wasn’t a horrible pick by any stretch either. Wilson will be ...

  This week news has broke that Charger head coach will be fired at the end of the season. This of course is pending on whether or not owner Dean Spanos will allow this 6 game losing streak to continue, or if Norv has any coaching skills left to turn the chargers around, and run off a 5 game winning streak in hopes of making the playoffs. San Diego may become the top spot for head coaches to come due t ...

Green Bay Packers (11-0)-The Packers spoiled every neutral fan’s hopes for the rare competitive game before Thanksgiving dinner. Baltimore Ravens (8-3)-The Ravens came through Thanksgiving night with their biggest victory of the season thanks to a truly dominating defensive performance. Pittsburgh Steelers (8-3)-While they haven’t been consistently dominant, they have won six of their last seven games. Heal ...

Green Bay Packers (10-0)-The Bucs have now laid the blueprint for beating the Packers. Will it happen? This remains to be seen. Can it happen? The way the Packers defense is playing, it can happen on any given Sunday. San Francisco 49ers (9-1)-The 49ers rank 6th in rushing yards and have the league’s most dominant rush defense led by Patrick Willis. They have a quarterback that is not making crucial mistake ...

Hopefully you have these guys on your team, because they will be having a huge week 3. Phillip Rivers (SD – QB) Facing the not-so-hot Kansas City Chiefs will make this matchup target practice for Rivers. After giving up 40+ points in the first two weeks, there are no signs of improvement. Watch for Rivers to throw for somewhere near 400 yards and at least 3 TD’s. A.J. Green (CIN – WR) This hotshot rookie ou ...

The former tight end from Cheverly, Maryland who probably grew up a Terrapin, went on to play at the University of North Carolina. In the 1997 draft, the San Diego Chargers selected the Tar Heel with their 2nd round pick.  With the combination of Craig Whelihan and Stan Humphries throwing to him, Freddie had 41 receptions for 505 yards and 2 touchdowns his rookie season. The next season, despite Ryan Leaf t ...

This week’s edition will feature more of the same, as well as one honorable mention that didn’t necessarily have a bad week, but has found his way on the list. Luke McCown- If it wasn’t for Mojo Drew, this team would be last place and a top candidate for worst in the league. Cutting David Garrard was a horrible decision and I doubt he would have played as bad as McCown played against the Jets on Sunday. McC ...
