The week one polling is in, as Bloguin has posted the results of their latest NFL power rankings. The Lions, as you would expect, are 32nd and last.
Personally, I had the Lions 31st, and placed the St. Louis Rams last. Why, you ask? The Lions put up 27 points against a probable playoff team, the tied for 11th and rising, Saints. The Rams, who will challenge the Lions for the title of "Worst NFL team of '09", were shut out by a middling, 14th ranked, Seahawks. In my book, that was enough to keep the Lions barely above the Rams, though the rest of the Bloguin network thought differently.A team with 18 straight losses tends to not get the benefit of the doubt, and rightly so. But that's my vote, and I'm sticking to it.
It already appears the week 8 clash of the bottom feeders, St. Louis at Detroit, will be a battle for the 1st overall selection of the 2010 NFL draft.
One thing of note. A new feature has been added to the power rankings, the comment blurb for each team are attributed to a specific blog. You'll now know eactly which snaky comments were from yours truly.
You can expect the power rankings and other features to evolve week to week, as Bloguin continues to refine their home page.
