NFL Power Rankings: Philadelphia Eagles and More Teams Now out of Playoff Hunt

If Jim Mora were still coaching, he'd have a few choice words for a few fledgling NFL teams.

Playoffs!! Playoffs?!?! Playoffs??

Well, for these three teams, anyway.

Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles were fortunate to stave off de facto elimination last week with an improbable win over the Giants at MetLife Stadium on Sunday night.

Vince Young and company weren't quite so lucky against the Patriots, to say the least, in what turned out to be a much more definitive 38-20 defeat. Young had little trouble lighting up New England's porous pass defense for 400 yards, but it was Philly's usually prolific ground game that let it down this time around.

At 4-7, the Eagles will need more than a miraculous return to health by Michael Vick to get back in the thick of things in the NFC East, with difficult dates against the Jets and the Cowboys left on tap.

San Diego Chargers

There will be no second-half renaissance by the Chargers this season—as if everyone else in the NFL didn't already know that.

San Diego became the latest team to succumb to Tim Tebow Time as the Broncos pulled out a 16-13 decision in overtime. That loss, their sixth in a row, dropped the Bolts to 4-7, three games behind the Oakland Raiders for the lead in the AFC West and two behind Denver for second place.

And with games against the Ravens, the Lions and the aforementioned Raiders still on tap, it appears as though the Chargers are much closer to securing their first losing season since 2003 than a playoff berth in the AFC.

All of which will likely cost Norv Turner his job and bring Philip Rivers' status as an elite NFL quarterback into question.

Buffalo Bills

It's official, folks: The Bills are no longer circling the wagons. Ryan Fitzpatrick has used up the last of his "Fitz-Magic," Fred Jackson is done for the season and Buffalo, at 5-6, will now need a miracle just to sneak into the AFC playoff picture as a wild card. 

That isn't likely to happen, not with games against the Titans, the Patriots and the revitalized Dolphins and Broncos left on the schedule and the Jets and the Bengals already hanging onto the last two postseason spots in the conference.
