Here they are, the Power Rankings for week 15. Enjoy :D

The Drum Roll:
Once again, Bama fans out did themselves. Even after the shut out against NE they still won't let the Saban rumors die...lol.. so sad.

Great win last week. Seems like after the pats and the jets both fell our non-existent shot at the play-offs became a small sliver of hope. Lets see how thing look after we take out the Bills this week!


Later and GO FINS!!!!!
:D

Comment: Jason Taylor is playing as well as anyone in the NFL. Being on a team that doesn't make the playoffs could hurt him, but Taylor deserves to be near the top of the discussion for defensive player of the year.

Comment: At 6-7, they're still breathing -- barely. But that defense is really playing well.

Comment: Miami’s 21-0 blanking of New England marked the first time the Dolphins shut out the Pats since their magical 1972 season. Sunday’s game was a dominant performance for a defense that’s really come around since a somewhat disappointing start to the season. Tom Brady fell to 7-5 against Miami in his career. He’s 70-20 against the rest of the NFL. Brady threw for a paltry 78 yards on the day, averaging a whopping 2.0 yards per pass play. Jason Taylor, a sure-fire candidate for NFL Defensive Player of the Year, recorded 6 tackles, had a sack, forced a fumble, and broke up a pass in the win. What’d Patriots coach Bill Belichick think of the performance? “He's the best player we've played against all year.”

Comment:
Here's a really nice quote from DE Ty Warren after his Patriots had just lost to Miami: "Hats off to them to be playing at that level when their future is kind of cloudy." Isn't it refreshing these days to see a player actually giving credit to an opponent?

Comment:
That was a hell of a job that the Dolphins defense did on Tom Brady. And the Patriots can talk about how the Dolphins had picked up Brady's audibles, or they had this advantage or that ... whatever. When you've got a guy in dark blue and silver lined up against a guy in teal and orange, and the guy in teal and orange beats the guy in dark blue and silver ... then the guy in dark blue and silver doesn't really have much to ***** about, does he?

Comment: Despite not having No. 1 running back Ronnie Brown last weekend, the Dolphins and their amazingly good defense managed to trounce the mighty Patriots, 21-0. On Sunday, the team will be missing the broken-handed Brown in Buffalo; once again, the 'D' absolutely has to carry the load for Miami to keep its slim playoff hopes alive.

Comment:
The chances of Miami shutting out New England seemed as good as Joey Harrington being a savior to Daunte Culpepper. This Dolphins team continues to befuddle.

Sammy Morris look good in place of Ronnie Brown Sunday, picking up 123 yards and a TD on 25 carries.

Yeah the Dolphins probably should be rated higher than the Bills because they have the same record and already lost on their home field to Buffalo. That makes sense. :shakeno:

I respect the time you took putting that together but power rankings mean nothing. This isn't college. I thought you Fin fans would have learned your lesson after the media gave you a Super Bowl "berth" in the preseason. :D

You played a different team early in the season.

Peter Schrager at Fox Sports that does the Power Rankings must be a real idiot. The Dolphins blank the Patriots 21-0, and they go down a spot in the rankings! What's up with that? "Fox: Fair and balanced, or fairly unbalanced?"
