Arkansas Bengal Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 NFL.comThis week, we bring you the final NFL.com Power Poll of the 2011 season. No surprises at the top, where the New York Giants are the cream of the crop and the New England Patriots are runners-up.That much was unanimous.But the real debate begins at No. 3, where -- based on their remarkable 15-1 regular season -- the Green Bay Packers edged out two teams that advanced further in the postseason, the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers.The Giants made the biggest jump in the rankings: In the previous Power Poll, taken just after the regular season concluded, the Giants were No. 7. Conversely, the New Orleans Saints dropped from No. 2 to No. 6.At the bottom, the Indianapolis Colts took the "honors," with the St. Louis Rams finishing an inglorious 31st. The Colts also claimed the most last-place votes, with five to the Rams' three. Those teams tied for the NFL's worst record at 2-14, and barring a trade will pick No. 1 and No. 2 in April's NFL Draft.One panelist, however, voted for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as the NFL's worst team in 2011. The Bucs finished 4-12, but lost their final 10 games. # Team 1 New York Giants 2 New England Patriots 3 Green Bay Packers 4 San Francisco 49ers 5 Baltimore Ravens 6 New Orleans Saints 7 Pittsburgh Steelers 8 Houston Texans 9 Detroit Lions10 Atlanta Falcons11 Cincinnati Bengals12 Denver Broncos13 Philadelphia Eagles14 Dallas Cowboys15 Tennessee Titans16 San Diego Chargers17 New York Jets18 Oakland Raiders19 Arizona Cardinals20 Seattle Seahawks21 Chicago Bears22 Kansas City Chiefs23 Miami Dolphins24 Carolina Panthers25 Buffalo Bills26 Washington Redskins27 Jacksonville Jaguars28 Cleveland Browns29 Tampa Bay Buccaneers30 Minnesota Vikings31 St. Louis Rams32 Indianapolis Colts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjakq27 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'll take 11th. Better to be in the top third than the bottom third! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
