I watched that too and thought the same thing. I agree with your rankings. I may even place Rodgers a notch above Ben the way Rodgers looked last week.

Obviously the 2016 regular season is the only criteria that would put Ryan ahead of Rodgers in any kind of ranking (and considering how hot Rodgers has been the last 2 months, even that is subjective). So assuming that is why Warner put Ryan ahead of Rodgers, why didn't he put Ryan ahead of Brady and Roethlisberger? With that list, it just seems that Warner was cherry picking his criteria. As far as Big Ben and Rodgers goes, you really can't go wrong with either of them. They are certainly interchangeable at #2 and #3. However, right now I give Ben a slight edge over Rodgers because of the 2 Super Bowls to 1, and Ben has generally been more consistent than Rodgers in the postseason.
IMO, the best weekend on the sports calendar is upon us.........Divisional Round weekend
Can the banged up Seattle secondary slow down the great Atlanta offense?
Can Houston pull off the biggest postseason upset since Hank Stram, Len Dawson and the Chiefs defeated the Vikings in Super Bowl IV?
Can Big Ben, Bell and Brown go into Arrowhead and beat the Chiefs?
Can Dak and Zeke match points with the white hot Aaron Rodgers?
These matchups are the payback for NOT having any surprises last weekend. Compelling storylines abound

I'm actually surprised that the NFL hasn't done away with the 1:00 ET kickoff on both Wild Card and Divisional Sunday already. They changed the Saturday start times to 4:35/8:00 over a decade ago, but the 1:00/4:30 format has remained on both Sundays. I'll be interested to see if a lift in ratings gives them a shove in that direction
Just so happens, my parents are in the middle of that ice storm, on thier way to Texas.
For some reason this is a story this morning, but as expected, the Raiders will file for relocation to Las Vegas 'in the coming weeks'.
Well, they've made it past the Ice and now it will be rain all day , they should make Texarkana by 5 or so.
Moving on so far this weekend we have the Atlanta Falcons knocking out the Seattle Seahawks
and
The New England Patriots pulling away from the Houston Texans in the 2nd half.
KC/Pittsburgh and Green Bay and Dallas later Sunday.

I like the idea ... other than having to get up for work ... game should be over by 11:30.
Now if it goes till say 12:30 or longer, thats a problem.
