Sing no sad songs for Brad Childress when the Vikings finally pull the plug on their pseudo-head coach. Childress finagled a big contract from Zygi Wilf when the Vikes rode a weak schedule to a 13-3 record last season after begging Brett Favre to return.

The only cost to Childress was his dignity.

To the rankings: (Last week in Parenthesis)

  • New England Patriots (5) – In the last couple of years they have traded away their best defensive lineman and their best wide receiver, the defense is filled with kids and the team does not have a defensive or offensive coordinator.And next April they have two picks each in the first, second and third rounds of the draft.
  • New York Giants (4) – Admit it – did you really think Ahmad Bradshaw was this good?
  • Pittsburgh Steelers (2) – Starting to look like the AFC North will be decided Dec. 5 – Steelers at Baltimore.
  • Indianapolis Colts (3) – Do you also get the feeling that the Colts could pick someone off the assembly line at the John Deere factory, give him a uniform and he’d have 5 or 6 catches for 85 yards in his first game with Manning?
  • New York Jets (1) – They need receivers who can, you know, catch the ball. Anybody know where Ray Berry is these days?
  • Green Bay Packers (16) – Explain how a team goes on the road against a very good opponent and wins despite getting outplayed in the following categories: first downs, yards rushing, yards passing, completed passes, return yards and time of possession.
  • Baltimore Ravens (7) – Anquan Boldin has not made Joe Flacco better, and no one seems to know why.
  • Atlanta Falcons (12) – Next two games, at home vs. Tampa Bay and Baltimore, are key because the Falcons then have only one home game in the subsequent 38 days.
  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers (20) – If you have Raheem Morris in the first-coach-to-be-fired pool, consider your $5 gone.
  • Tennessee Titans (9) – No easy games left. Chances are good that if you shoved a paper in front of Jeff Fisher and all it said was 10-6, he’d sign it and take his chances from there.
  • Philadelphia Eagles (6) – Seven games in, and does anyone have a real feel for what this team is or can be? One thing – Philly usually plays better in November and December than in September and October.
  • Kansas City Chiefs (14) – If you’re like me and had the Chiefs in your survivor pool, well, we all dodged a bullet.
  • New Orleans Saints (8) – Lose to the Browns and then beat the Steelers. You just don’t see stuff like this in the NBA or MLB.
  • Miami Dolphins (10) – Good news for the Fins, who are 4-0 on the road this season. They’re at Baltimore this week.
  • Houston Texans (13) – These guys are just in the wrong division.
  • Bet on Football at Sportsbook.com

  • Seattle Seahawks (19) – Seattle gave up 545 totals yards to Oakland last Sunday. In one 3-game stretch last season the Raiders had a cumulative total of 426 total yards.
  • Chicago Bears (11) – Bottom line: If the offensive line doesn’t considerably better in the second half of the season, the playoffs are not happening and Jay Cutler may leave the field in two or three stretchers.
  • Oakland Raiders (26) – Gradkowski returns from injury and reclaims his starting job despite Jason Campbell leading the team to two wins and 92 points.
  • St. Louis Rams (21) – Rams have accomplished the hard part, improving from fish-dead to mediocre. Shame that Stephen Jackson’s best years were for bad teams, though.
  • Jacksonville Jaguars (17) – Del Rio usually keeps these guys competitive until late in the season despite not having plus-.500 talent.
  • Washington Redskins (18) – Looks like Shanahan will be QB shopping this offseason. If you don’t trust your starter in the final minutes of a close game . . .
  • San Diego Chargers (24) – Chargers’ spotty start has thrown a wet blanket on Philip Rivers’ amazing season – 2,649 yards, the most by any quarterback ever through the first eight games of the season.
  • Arizona Cardinals (15) – No one in the NFC gives up points as fast or as often as the Cardinals, but in the West nothing will be certain until at least mid-December.
  • Detroit Lions (28) – They’re fast becoming the team that no one wants to play.
  • Cleveland Browns (30) – Eric Mangini says he’ll start (at QB) whoever gives us the best chance to win this Sunday against New England. But he reserves the right to change his mind and play a guaranteed loser.
  • Minnesota Vikings (22) – Great line from the Boston Globe’s Bob Ryan about Favre: “It’s almost as if he is afraid to find out what life after football will bring, and he is willing to risk his health to avoid the dreaded day when he becomes a private citizen.”
  • Cincinnati Bengals (23) – These guys are starting to resemble the economy in the final three months of the Bush Administration.
  • San Francisco 49ers (29) – The Niners are going to spend the entire offseason kicking themselves for not winning a very winnable division.
  • Denver Broncos (25) – Broncos’ performance in London caused one old-timer in the stands to remark: “And we thought Prince Charles was ugly!”
  • Dallas Cowboys (27) – Sure it doesn’t help when the QB goes down, but the problems on this team were boiling on the surface long before Tony Romo got taken out.
  • Carolina Panthers (32) – First rule in a hole: Stop digging. Panthers are on pace to turn the ball over a staggering 53 times this season.
  • Buffalo Bills (31) – Best shot at win: Browns at home on Dec. 12.

    You are an idiot for saying Joe Flacco hasn’t improved. All but one game, @Bengals (0TD, 4INT-or-2/3 of his total INT’s for the season), the guy has been phenomenal considering hes only in his 3rd year. Hes on pace for 3,770 yards, 25TD’s and 9-10INT’s……. All equating better than last season.

    Since week 2 Joe Flacco has 9TD’s, 1INT and a QB rating of 105% (2nd highest in the NFL). So tell me how he isn’t playing well?

    As far as Anquan Boldin, the guy is 13th in the league in receiving yards and has 5TD’s; I’d say that’s pretty decent for 7 games…… On pace for 1180 yards and 11-12TD’s.
