Lots of points handed out today, so naturally we've got a big shakeup in the Bottom 10. Some teams worked their way out via some nice responses, which means some others fell in. Here's a look at this week's Bottom 10 from which two teams will be cut...
New England Patriots (21)
Kansas City Chiefs (20)
Minnesota Vikings (19)
Baltimore Ravens (18)
Carolina Panthers (18)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (18)
Houston Texans (17)
Oakland Raiders (16)
Cincinnati Bengals (15)
New Orleans Saints (15)
Some surprising names in the list. So who's getting the boot? The first choice isn't too hard to explain...
Oakland Raiders - For a long time the Raiders organization was the epitome of cool. Here were the NFL's bad boys with the NFL's most intimidating fan base. The black and silver struck fear in just about every NFL city (and was a popular clothing choice among the cool kids at school). Unfortunately, that really hasn't been the case for close to 20 years. The Raiders of today are the laughingstock of the league and have truly turned into the "Black Hole" where no veteran wants to end up. They draft terribly, they seem to change coaches almost every year, and then there's Al Davis. Considering the Raiders are headed for another losing season, no one has heard from Al Davis in months, and the National Organization for Women is protesting for the current coach to be fired, I wouldn't say that there's a light at the end of the tunnel quite yet. Sorry Oakland, I'm avoiding this train-wreck.
The second choice pains me a little, but I think it's time to part ways...
Cincinnati Bengals - No player entertains me more than Chad Ocho Cinco. He had me laughing every week on Hard Knocks, I read every one of his Tweets, I love his celebrations, I even watch his Ustreams from time to time. But, I think this may be one of those things best viewed from afar. The Bengals look like they're finally headed in the right direction this season and haven't had a player arrested in a quite a while. Still, there's a lot of bad history to overcome and I think Bengals fans would admit they're always waiting on the other shoe to drop. This one season isn't enough to convince me that I wouldn't be choosing a life of misery as a Bengals fan. They've got enough evidence to suggest that curses do exist and I don't think I want any part of that. As for Ocho Cinco, it pains me to say it, but let's just be friends. On the other hand, if some how and some way Esteban Ocho Cinco himself can make a plea as to why I should get on the Bengals bandwagon, maybe there is still room for them in a Wild Card spot. Until then, well, they're out. The ball is in your court Ocho Cinco.
