1st Quarter 2008 NFL Power Rankings.

Hello all, we are at the close of the first quarter of the 2008 NFL Season, and I wanted to list the power rankings as I see them right now. I will only be updating these rankings on a quarterly basis. I hope you enjoy.

1. Tennessee Titans: Don't ask me how, but the Titans are not only winning, they are crushing their opponents.

2. Buffalo Bills: Trent Edwards is not only a smart QB, he has a very nice NFL arm. Their team defense is not all that bad either.

3. New York Giants: There is no question in my mind that Eli has total control of this team, and that's exactly what Giant's fans want. He is ready for this tough division. 11 wins is almost a good bet.

4. Dallas Cowboys: I am sure that after the next four games the 'Boys will plummet. T.O. has obviously never heard of the term politically correct. If Narcissus were still alive, he would have some serious competition. THERE IS NO "I" IN TEAM. A light schedule may get them into the playoffs, but Jerry Jones will have 25 million reasons to dump his sorry ass before too long.

5. Tampa Bay Bucs: Even with Brian Griese as their starter, they look really, really good.

6. Denver Broncos: Jay Cutler is a stud with a cannon of an arm. The rest of the Bronco's schedule does not look too imposing. We shall see how smart Shanahan really is.

7. Carolina Panthers: As of right now, they are running and passing on all cylinders.

8. Washington Redskins: Campbell looks good, Portis looks good. The defense looks good. Let's see what happens from here.

9. Philadelphia Eagles: Injuries will determine how well this team does. As of right now, they look good.

10. San Diego Chargers: The Chargers defense has been compromised with the loss of Merriman, but Rivers and LT look just fine.

11. Baltimore Ravens: My Aunt Millie could be at quarterback, and this very strong defensive team would still win the game.

12. Pittsburgh Steelers: I love Mike Tomlin as a coach, he brings fire and passion to every game. So far so good for the men from the 'Burgh, let's see if this can continue.

13. Chicago Bears: Is Orton a championship quarterback, I'm not sure, but I thought the same thing about Trent Dilfer.

14. New Orleans Saints: This team intrigues me, but let's see if they can get the job done over the long haul.

15. Green Bay Packers: Let's hope the injury to Aaron Rodgers is not serious. If it is, good night Irene.

16. Atlanta Falcons: Lucky for the Falcons Ryan is a smart quarterback. He might just make a few games interesting this year if he has the time to pass the ball.

17. Phoenix Cardinals: I have high hopes for this team this season. Buffalo, Dallas and Carolina are their next three games. Make or break time.

18. New York Jets: The bye week could not have come at a better time for the Jets. Favre is a bit sore, and they can soak up the team chemistry that was created this weekend after a tough Monday Night loss. The next three games for the Jets are very winnable, they have to hold serve to make a difference in the AFC.

19. San Francisco 49ers: Please don't ask me how they have two wins. The next three games are against New England, Philly and the Giants. Thank God I am not the team's trainer.

20. Jacksonville Jaguars: I thought they would be better than 2-2 at this point, but that's why they play the games.

21. New England Patriots: They are right on schedule for a 7-9 season. That's only if they can win the games they are supposed to.

22. Miami Dolphins: This is a bad football team, let's see if Chad can endure the pain.

23. Seattle Seahawks: This is one team I expect to rise in the ratings over the course of the season. Has anyone seen Shaun Alexander???

24. Minnesota Vikings: Between Peterson and the defense, I think the Vikes will make a run in the not too distant future.

25. Indianapolis Colts: Their current record is the only reason they are so low....for now.

26. Oakland Raiders: With so many early first round draft choices they have had over the past several years, they should be a juggernaut. But then there is Al Davis. "A commitment waiting to happen".

27. Cleveland Browns: A question to Coach Crennel, could your team be any worse with Brady Quinn? I doubt it.

28. Kansas City Chiefs: Coach Edwards, what ever you do, do not look at the upcoming schedule for your team. It's like watching the drill before the dentist puts it in your mouth. Yes...it's that bad.

29. Cincinnati Bengals: Coach Lewis, take the advice I just gave to Coach Edwards. You have nothing in your arsenal that can touch what is in front of you with regard to schedule. If I were you, I would not send a Christmas card to the Commissioner's Office this year.

30. Houston Texans: This is another team that I expect to rise in the coming weeks. They are a well coached young team. It's a matter of time before success will come your way.

31. Detroit Lions: Now that Matt Millen is gone, I hope the Ford family can bring in someone that actually knows how to run a football team. Too much talent to suck this badly.

32. St. Louis Rams: I just don't know what else to say but, man this team blows: Trent Green over Marc Bulger as your starting QB. Does he even know what day it is? Is he even allowed to eat whole foods yet?

There you have it. The first quarter of the season is over. The next quarter should be a lot of fun.

Has anyone seen my beer?
