Power Powell Rankings: Week 6 - Wait, What's This Wing Thing About?
"Touchdown Demaryius!"
"Hey let me get a wing?"
"Only winners get wings."
Think about that for a moment. Only winners... get the wings. There's a certain level of profundity in that way of thinking. Only winners get wings and typically only winners move up the rankings list, typically...
2. The SideLiners (Last Week 2): Steve's team put up another solid week and he remains undefeated, teriyaki style. There doesn't seem to be a weakness on his team, unless you consider Cooks a weakness and I certainly do not.
3. The Keith-glorious Basterds (Last Week 3): If point totals determined rankings, then I'd move Keith one spot down. However, Keith had his worst week of the season this week and a lot of his players left a lot of points out on the field. Antonio Brown couldn't put up double digits in Jacksonville, Luck was fairly suburban (minus the late game rushing TD) and injuries to his team are starting to show up in point production (Jennings/Marshall). It feels like a batch of white cheddar double dipped with caribbean jerk, sure it starts of good, but the end result wasn't all that satisfying. That being said, I still have confidence that Keith will be able to recover and keep it competitive as he doesn't have to deal with...
4. NFL OWNER (Last Week 4): CALVIN JOHNSON. This is one of those life injustices that if we were to ever mention it to the women (or men) in our lives we'd receive a dismissive stare. The kind of stare that you give someone who says they just saw bigfoot, uncaring but with enough investment to continue the momentum of conversation on to something more pertinent. But, unlike those people I'm not going to patronize Shayne, this Calvin situation is a nightmare in planning each week. On one hand he has to play him (or else Brandon Marshall week 2 happens), on the other hand he can depend more on a Cobb/Maclin lineup with someone else in his flex. Now we're hearing Jim Caldwell may sit Johnson for a couple weeks... It never ends. Does Shane play Calvin Johnson and play Russian roulette with the suicide hots or take it safe like a batch of buffalos? Either way he's playing with fire!
5. RW Throws a Sexy Deep Ball (Last Week 8): Another win and some production out of McCoy! Things are coming up Milhouse. Or should I say...
But, more importantly, despite his heart breaking season Andrew is twenty-seven yards out of a playoff spot. Twenty seven yards, 2.7 pts. If that isn't a dark horse then I don't understand what dark horses are. Cajun double dipped with sweet chili, "All I Do Is Win!" indeed.
6. Oh That's Nasty (Last Week 5): Dawson's struggles are very similar to Keith's his Steelers under-preformed and his starting quarterback put up a respectable (but not world changing) stat line. He should get back on track this week as Matty Ice is at home and Bell is playing the team that gave him him his largest stat line of the season. It should give him a safe confidence like a batch of old reliable honey garlics can always do.
7. What Are The Chances (Last Week 9): The first win is the hardest, and if Ellington/Wilson/'Dem Cowboys keep the course Curt will start to see a lot more! Time will tell if his team is legit, bbq style, or dried out, dill pickle-esque.
8. NINERS (Last Week 7): It's not fair what happened to AD-AP, but Stan has to be encouraged by what he saw out of Tom Brady on Sunday Night. I saw a man that is sick of hearing he's washed up and that makes for some high scoring stat padding in games. Chips on an NFL player's shoulder are as fun to have as honey mustards! You just feel great plugging them into your lineup/stomach. There was the injury to Ball, but I never really believed in him. Brandon Oliver, however, he was pretty exciting to watch against the Jets and should be a contributor for Stan until Ryan Mathews is good to go. As our league seems to love parity in our story lines, Stan is only 11 points out of the playoffs. Looks like there will be an Altus representative, but who?
9. AARON-PRIMETIME-CLAPPERTON (Last Week 6): Dance with the Devil and you're gonna get burned. Aaron has put up two wins, but his players are too all or nothing that it creates a nightmare worth of decisions when in comes to finalizing a lineup. Orange ginger looks good on the menu, but who would have the confidence to order them? Much like who would have trusted putting Wright into his flex last week? That was the difference between winning and losing. Aaron is still in the final playoff spot, but things are looking leaky going forward.
10. BISP (Last Week 10): Cheese Toast put up a great effort this week, he just needs the right match up like Curt to put his first one up on the board.
That's all she wrote fellas! Up, Down, Buffalo, Pineapple Curry! I think I know what I'm in the mood for!

Moving up the board!!!
