What to Watch For: Denver Broncos vs. Green Bay Packers

Sayre Bedinger — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 14:44:52 +0000

The Beast known as VonDoom shall be unleashed in Green Bay on Sunday

I am not one to make bold predictions, because I hate the feedback I get if I am wrong, but I have been saying all week that the Broncos would beat the Green Bay Packers on the road, whether you think that’s crazy or not.

As a fan, you typically get this feeling leading up to a game. Typically when I am really nervous, I feel like my team is going to lose or has a really tough road to victory. Sometimes that intuition proves wrong, and sometimes not.

The other feeling I get is really one where I don’t feel anything. My heartbeat doesn’t pickup when I think of the game, and I can honestly look at the matchup and say, “We can win this game.” That being said, I have had that feeling all week about the Broncos vs. the Packers, and I think it either means I think they will win or I think they will get blown out. Those seem to be the two general feelings out there right now, so I’m going to go ahead and go against the grain and pick the Broncos to win.

What to watch for?

NFL Power Rankings: Week 5

jdove — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 13:30:13 +0000

Alright I know we are an NFL Draft site but the Power Rankings are going to play an important role here at NFL Mocks. These Rankings are how we will be determining the draft order for our Mock Drafts. So take a look a the Rankings and let us know what you think, as usual I expect some good feedback!

1. New York Jets- It was a big win last night for the Jets. Then came in to a game against the Vikings who stole the headlines by acquiring Randy Moss and still stay focused and pulled off the win. They have a winning formula and that’s running the ball, playing strong defense, and not turning it over.

2. Baltimore Ravens- The Ravens keep on rolling and Joe Flacco keeps on developing. The Ravens are much like the Jets in that they can run the ball, play good defense, and limit turnovers. The only reason they are ranked #2 is because I believe the Jets secondary is a lot stronger than the Ravens. At some point that might be exploited as a weakness.

3. Pittsburgh Steelers- They have shocked a lot of people so far this year and now they get their franchise quarterback back. With this defense and the return of Big Ben, nobody is going to want to face this team.

4. Atlanta Falcons- This team as quietly put themselves at the top of the NFC and look every bit the part. They have won a few ugly games but a win is a win and that’s all that matters. Matt Ryan is continuing his asention to the top of the quarterback ranks.

5. Chicago Bears- Speak about ugly wins! The Bears quarterbacks combined for 51 passing yards and 4 interceptions! However, this defense looks to be stronger than every and it was nice to see another player emerge opposite Julius Peppers. Idonije posted a career high 3 sacks in the win and it looks like the Bears will be getting Culter back for next weeks game.

6. New England Patriots- Does anyone really feel that the Patriots will miss Randy Moss all that much? Moss is a great player but I think the Pats have a solid plan and they know how to win football games. Look for New England to spread the ball around more and get others involved in the offense.

7. Kansas City Chiefs- The Chiefs suffered their first loss but they still played very well against a good Colts team. The defense is for real and they will be able to keep this team in a lot of football games. They just need to find a way to score points consistently. The pressure is going to start to pick up for quarterback Matt Cassel.

8. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Nobody expected this team to be any good this year, including me. However, they have been able to put together a nice start to the season and yesterdays win was a big one. I have to admit that Josh Freeman is well ahead of where I expected him to be at this point in his career.

9. Indianapolis Colts- The Colts had a good win against the Chiefs and did so by limiting the Chiefs rushing attack. However, things just don’t seem to be clicking on offense and the Colts have struggled to protect Peyton. This will be something that other teams pick up on!

10. Washington Redskins- Wins like the one the Redskins had yesterday are ones that could get a team on a good role. The defense played well all game and the offense responded when it had to. They should have some momentum going forward after those big wins against the Packers and Eagles.

NFL Power Rankings: Week 4

jdove — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 17:00:08 +0000

1. New York Jets- The Jets seem to be clicking on all cylinders and the progression of Mark Sanchez makes them all the more dangerous. Save his DWI arrest Braylon Edwards has seem to get him self back on track and now will have a dynamic running mate in Santonio Holmes.

2. Baltimore Ravens- I know they beat the Steelers without Big Ben but they also beat them in Pittsburgh. The Ravens defense is still the backbone of the team but Joe Flacco has show that he is capable of putting a team on his shoulders and leading them to a last minute touchdown drive.

3. Pittsburgh Steelers- This defense may be the very best in the league! Big Ben returns after the bye week and the offense has been rolling without him. Rashard Mendenhall has developed into the running back they expected when they selected him in the first round.

4. Green Bay Packers- There is no questioning the talent on this Packers team and the fact that Aaron Rodgers is a very good quarterback. But the fact remains that they haven’t looked great at all this season. They almost allowed the Eagles to mount a comeback, they lost to the Bears, and Detroit made it interesting.

5. Houston Texans- This team is becoming more and more balanced as the weeks progress. Last season they didnt have much of a running game but Arian Foster has busted onto the scene and makes this team really hard to defend. They are also getting defensive rookie of the year Brian Cushing back off suspension this week!

6. Indianapolis Colts- Now I realize this might be a little high for the Colts but I have been burned by Peyton Manning so many times in many different ways that I will never bet against him. It has been a theme for several years now that the Colts defense is terrible and they need a fix but some how by the end of the year everyone is talking about how good their defense is so I am betting they get it turned around.

7. Atlanta Falcons- They probably should have lost the past two games but good teams find a way to win and that is what the Falcons are doing. They have been improving on both sides of the ball each year since Matt Ryan was drafted and their defense looks like they are able to carry the load if asked.

8. New Orleans Saints- Who would have thought that the issue with the Saints this season would be their offense? Not me! But I am not really worried about the offense they will figure it out and I have been really impressed with the performance of the defense.

9. New England Patriots- Last nights win against the Dolphins was very impressive because it featured big plays by the defense and special teams. We know Brady and the offense will perform but if the defense can continue to create turnovers then the rest of the NFL is in for some trouble.

10. Kansas City Chiefs- I know Chief fans are going to rip me apart on this one but this is all the love I can give them. Going into the season nobody thought their defense was going to be very good so I need more than 3 games to make my determination. Also the up and down play of Matt Cassel has me a little worried so again I am in a wait and see stage with the Chiefs.

Advice for Stafford & Moreno: Take the Money and Run

nflmocks — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 17:51:47 +0000

Matthew Stafford threw a touchdown pass to running back Knowshon Moreno in the closing minutes of Thursday’s Capital One Bowl to finish off a 24-12 Georgia win. The touchdown might be the final great play either player makes in a Georgia Bulldogs uniform.

Because the NFL is calling, and both are likely to be top 20 picks in the NFL Draft if they choose to leave college early.

The alternative is playing for a team was preseason #1 and then underachieved for another season. Does wearing black uniforms and battling Florida for the SEC East title mean more than having the rest of your life set up? For some players (like Tim Tebow) I’d say stay in school, work on your game and enjoy playing on a national powerhouse.
