Cohen's Top 10 NFL Power Rankings

1) Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0) - Blew out Houston and it appears they won't stop there with a weak division to feast off of.
2) Dallas Cowboys (1-0) - Their convincing win over the struggling Browns showed America that the Boys are indeed focused on the prize. Big challenge in the next two weeks: home vs. Philadelphia and at Green Bay.
3) N.Y. Giants (1-0) - They are the World Champs and are still one of the league's elite until someone stops them. With an easy schedule until Halloween, the Giants will be rolling in 2008.
4) New Orleans Saints (1-0) - Came all the way back to beat the Buccaneers in a huge home game. It might be a preview of things to come for the Saints in 2008.
5) Carolina Panthers (1-0) - It's easy to forget that the Panthers were an NFC favorite to go to the Super Bowl in 2005 and 2006. Well, they are back after a improbable victory in San Diego as Jake Delhome won the game with a touhdown pass in the final two seconds of the game. Watch out if they stay healthy.
6) Chicago Bears (1-0) - Every year people expect the Bears to fold, but each year they suprise everyone and make a postseason charge. Shocking the Colts in Week One was a good start in that direction.
7) N.Y. Jets (1-0) - What a difference Brett Favre is making in New York. The Jets offense played crisp football for three quarters. In the fourth quarter, they had to sweat things out a bit, but the play of corners Dwight Lowery, Darrell Revis and linebacker Calvin Pace has this defense playing at a high level. With Tom Brady out for the Pats, the Jets are now one of the AFC favorites.
8) Buffalo Bills (1-0) - The Bills were a tough team to beat last year, this year they look even better. Beating up an elite team like the Seahawks was a good start in the right direction. The Bills have a good future for 2008, especially with Tom Brady out for the Patriots.
9) Green Bay Packers (1-0) - Impressive start for Aaron Rodgers. The kid looked like a seasoned veteran in his first NFL start against a good Vikings defense. The Packers, with veteran talent, should be fine in 2008.
10) San Diego Chargers (0-1) - Even though they lost in the final seconds to Carolina, the Chargers look like they will be very good this year. Phillip Rivers was slinging the ball all over the field in week one, and, defensivley, they are too talented not to figure out how to live without Shawn Merriman.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Is Aaron Glenn in Danger of Getting Fired?

 According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio there is a "chance"   that Jets head coach Aaron Glenn could be fired at seasons end.  While Florio doesn't site any sources, the rumor has caught fire the last two days. The question is would it make sense? Let's examine this for a second?  Why it Makes Sense:  Glenn has not been great in his first year as Head Coach of this team. The talent has taken a major step backwards, granted two of those talented players were traded away in Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis and Quinnen Williams to Dallas.  The decision he and GM Darren Mougey made to give Justin Fields a two year deal proved to be a horrible mistake, and Glenn stuck with Fields for far too long before pulling the plug following the Jets loss to the Patriots on a Thursday night in mid November.  Glenn gave now former Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks too much power to run the defense, and the players couldn't stand Wilks. Reports indicated this week af...

Same Ol' Jets! Gang Green Dropped by Ravens

 RAVENS 24 - JETS 9  In short the opener to the 2022 season for the New York Jets was a complete and utter disaster.  A team that came into the season with the promise of better days ahead, a team that had taken on so many kudos in the off-season for what so many in the media had claimed was an impeccable off-season and draft, came out flat as a pancake when it mattered the most.  If this was a debut of what is to come for the Jets in 2022, you better start preparing your 2023 draft boards.  Sunday's 24-9 loss wasn't just a defeat at the hands of a better team, it was a total indictment of the Jets current predicament.  The Jets offensive line, which has been battered and beaten this summer with the losses of Meckhi Becton and Duane Brown looked like a sieve on Sunday. Joe Flacco, who is not exactly fleet of foot, was under siege all afternoon. The fact he came out of Sunday's game having been sacked only three times was a miracle in itself.  George Fa...
