So let's take a look at the magnitudes of the power rankings.  The Falcons and the Patriots are neck and neck, then a gap, then the Jets and Steelers, then a gap, and then the rest.  The Colts are getting hammered, while the Browns are still hanging around.  One of the failures of my rankings is how to judge a team like the Titans, which came strong out of the gate, and now is kind of falling apart due to quarterback issues.
