NFL Power Rankings: Week 6....in Limericks!

Watching the Rams leaves fans in awe
They're so bad it's hard not to guffaw
Boller can't move the ball
The defense never fails to appall
Good luck with that Rush Limbaugh!

Ah, silly Raheem Morris
His offensive line is porous
He's already benched one QB
And told a coordinator to flee
Calls for firing will come in chorus

This team has two wins...true
Overly lowly teams 31 and 32
They ended the Lions' streak
Jim Zorn's future looks bleak
When they lose to KC, fans will boo

Chiefs-Redskins? I'll shield my eyes
Matt Cassell hasn't exactly been a prize
Although the offense came alive
In last week's late drive
Of course, they still met their demise

To say JaMarcus Russell has no game
Is like saying Al Davis is insane
While both are clear facts
They're understatements to the max
I can't begin to describe Oakland's pain

Oh sorry, I was just counting sheep
Thinking about Bills-Browns put me to sleep
Marshawn Lynch is back
But where's the rushing attack?
Dick Jauron's standing in a hole, and it's deep

What exactly happened here?
This team collapsed in less than a year
Outside of one game
Even Chris Johnson's been tame
Maybe LenDale should ditch beer

Another team that's a complete mess
The QB situation is a total distress
No need to put out the feelers
This team won't beat the Steelers
Eric Mangini is failing to impress

Without their stars, the Lions played tough
In Detroit, you have to appreciate the small stuff
This team needs Stafford and Johnson
To stand a chance in Wisconsin
If they don't, things could get rough

If not for the comeback against the 'Skins
The Panthers wouldn't have any wins
This team needs to run the ball
Or the offense will stall
Although the Bucs next week should spark grins

This team will never be stunning
If Steve Slaton can't hit the ground running
The Texans will likely falter
But with Johnson, Daniels and Walter
Matt Schaub will just keep on shotgunning

Who can figure the Jaguars out?
A week ago, they seemed to have clout.
But after being shutout at Seattle
Jacksonville is 2-3 and rattled
Although the Rams should be an easy bout

The Miles Austin show was great
But the Cowboys' wins don't hold any weight
Plus former players are a huge distraction
Criticizing Romo for media reaction
At best, this team finishes 8-8

Seattle's taken a few on the chin
But the Seahawks also know how to win
They're 0-3 with Seneca Wallace
With Hasselbeck, they're flawless.
Plus, the schedule ahead looks mighty thin

The Cards' defense has been sufficient
It's the offense that's inefficient
Although Fitzgerald looks grand
And the defense had a goal-line stand
I just question if Kurt Warner's all that omniscient

Miami has a tough schedule ahead
Saints-Jets-Pats means this team could be dead
But on Monday night they showed heart
And for now that sets them apart
Well, that and that Wildcat spread

Aaron Rodgers has a reason to be tense
As no QB can win with a horrid defense
The Packers give up big plays
And Ryan Grant can no longer amaze
Let the countdown to Favre II commence!

The Atlanta smackdown felt like a bad dream
Roddy White made 'Niners fans scream
Singletary is very respected
He needs to get his team collected
Blowout losses can't become a running theme

Rivers to Jackson is the next big thing
But with no ground game, this team has no zing
Sproles is a fast learner
But he's limited by Norv Turner
A win over Denver would be a huge swing

McNabb's health looks just fine
Plus Jeremy Maclin? Simply divine.
Wash and Oak won't be tough
But then the schedule gets rough
I'm just not convinced this team has the spine

The Steelers don't seem quite right
With Troy P. out, they're missing some fight
The schedule hasn't been easy
A win over the Browns should be breezy
Those receivers always excite

Against the Bears, opposing kickers choke
Although Cutler and Co. are no joke
The next two games will be a test
Cincy and Atlanta are two of the best
Matt Forte needs to run for broke

An offense that used to bore
Now has several ways to score
Ray Lewis is still a terror
But that hit was a dumb error
The Vikings are in the way of win No. 4

Monday night was a tough one to lose
And the AFC East is no cruise
But you don't need great skills
To beat the Raiders and Bills
5-2 is in Jets fans' views

One second this team looks of old
The next, the play calling is far from bold
I think they'll take to the air
And go on a tear
New England's tough when the weather is cold

Just when Flacco was getting the attention
Ryan showed he's no honorable mention
No sophomore slump here
Plus Turner's hitting high gear
I sense a power ranking ascension

Giants fans are probably feeling cheated
But look at who this team has defeated
Bucs and Chiefs -- a breeze
Raiders and 'Skins -- please
If they beat the Saints, these rankings may get deleted

The Vikings defense has astounded
Ask the Rams...they just got pounded
Despite the 40-year-old aches
Favre's avoided mistakes
So this team looks very well-rounded

4-1 Bengals...who would have thought?
On "Hard Knocks" they looked so distraught
Ochocinco survived the collision
The team's atop the division
Cedric Benson's improved...a lot

Only in my wildest dreams
Did I see the Broncos beating good teams
Brandon Marshall's done pouting
So I'm done doubting
And Moreno's for real, it seems

This offense is much to behold
And they still win when Brees goes cold
The defense stacks the box
Pierre Thomas rocks
Can't wait for the Giants game to unfold

Gonzo's injury hasn't been distressing
Manning still has defenses guessing
Indy remains jolly
And I like Austin Collie
My fantasy team's without Manning. Depressing.
