NFL Power Rankings: Dallas Cowboys and Other Teams Exposed in Week 14

Every week in the NFL, I have to sit and watch the games in order to maintain the power rankings for my articles. This week, we got some of the biggest frauds in the NFL exposed.

Teams like the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys have a long history of winning, but they are forgetting how to do it against real competition this week.

While these teams may be heading towards stealing a playoff spot, they won’t make it very far once they get there. Especially if you’re Tony Romo.

San Francisco 49ers—People have been talking up the San Francisco 49ers all season, but I knew it was a matter of time before their fraudulence came to fruition.

After capitalizing on the fact that the team is playing in by far the worst division in the NFL, any time the team faces any real hurdles they crumble like a cookie.

People were clamoring that San Francisco should be in the top three of the power rankings, but I would even have them in my top ten. An easy schedule and a lack of being taken serious have allowed the 49ers to start the season in a good way, but it won’t end that way.

Detroit Lions—The Detroit Lions haven’t been the same team since their loss to the San Francisco 49ers team that held on for dear life. Looking back now, that was the ultimate fraud bowl.

Since that loss, the potent Lions offense that was on pace to set all kinds of records has been exposed as the ultimate fraud. Their struggles against Minnesota further proved that.

Calvin Johnson has been a shell of the player he was earlier in the season, but it’s the lack of a run game that will end up costing the Lions in the rest of the regular season and into the playoffs.

Dallas Cowboys—After losing to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13 in heart-breaking fashion, the team did it again. The stunning loss to the New York Giants exposes the Cowboys as the fraud they really are.

The team’s success and failures have been as inconsistent as their overrated quarterback, but it is the coaching staff that looks most inept.

As long as Tony Romo is under center, America’s team will never have the composure or talents to win anything more than a few meaningless regular season games.
