If this week didn't emphasize the fact that there aren't any real "great" teams in the NFL anymore, I don't know what will. I sense a lot of shuffling in my rankings. Let's find out.
32. Arizona Cardinals (1-6) (31, L @OAK) - We have a new champion of suck. All the entertaining Dennis Green press conferences in the world won't save his job if this keeps up.
31. Oakland Raiders (1-5) (32, W ARI) - Maybe they can get above #30? Nahhhh.
30. Miami Dolphins (1-6) (29, L GB) - What the hell happened to Ronnie Brown? I thought he was supposed to be the future? The LAST thing they need to do is put more of the game on Harrington's shoulders.
29. Cleveland Browns (1-5) (28, L DEN) - Have the Browns even cracked 6 wins since they came back into the fold? Do people in Cleveland even know they still have a team?
28. Detroit Lions (1-6) (27, L @NYJ)
27. Tennessee Titans (1-5) (26, BYE) - Six of the eight NFL divisions have one one loss team. That's a lot of bad teams making themselves known 1/3 into the season.
26. Houston Texans (2-4) (30, W JAC) - You gotta give them credit for an impressive victory against a good team. They need to build off of this.
25. Washington Redskins (2-5) (23, L @IND) - A good first half, but they completely tanked the second.
24. Buffalo Bills (2-5) (21, L NE) - When your QB gets so distracted by the referee that he drops the ball, you know you are in for a long season. The D is good, but that offense is bad.
23. San Fransisco 49ers (2-4) (22, BYE)
22. Green Bay Packers (2-4) (24, W @MIA) - Beat a bad team, but a win is a win is a win.
21. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-4) (25, W PHI) - Gradowski is following in the grand tradition of Polish NFL QBs like.....uh......
20. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-4) (19, L @ATL) - May actually be better under Batch right now.
19. Dallas Cowboys (3-3) (17, L NYG) - Romo's picked up Drew's bad habits already. If Bledsoe loses the starting job, that would be the third such job he's lost in 5 years.
18. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-3) (11, L @HOU) - This is what you get for getting spanked by the Texans. This is typical Jacksonville, though.
17. Kansas City Chiefs (3-3) (20, W SD)
16. New York Jets (4-3) (18, W DET) - New England's only divisional competition right now; with a cupcake schedule the rest of the way, they are still a playoff possibility.
15. St. Louis Rams (4-2) (16, BYE)
14. Carolina Panthers (4-3) (12, L @CIN) - Maybe not.
13. Philadelphia Eagles (4-3) (7, L @TB) - McNabb and Westbrook are having good seasons....but the rest of that team needs work.
12. Seattle Seahawks (4-2) (9, L MIN) - No Alexander and now no Hasselbeck may equal bad times for Seattle leading up to Thanksgiving weekend.
11. Cincinatti Bengals (4-2) (15, W CAR) - Good bounce back win, but they still have a lot of divisional games left in a very tough division.
10. Atlanta Falcons (4-2) (13, W PIT) - Yay, Vick threw for 4 TDs. Let's see him complete
9. New Orleans Saints (5-1) (8, BYE)
8. New York Giants (4-2) (10, W @DAL) - Good divisional win, but still not quite in the "elite" (or what passes for elite this year) yet.
7. Baltimore Ravens (4-2) (6, BYE)
6. Minnesota Vikings (4-2) (14, W @SEA) - A solid all-around team people may be sleeping on. These types of teams win championships in this era. Monday will be a very interesting matchup.
5. San Diego Chargers (4-2) (1, L @KC)
4. New England Patriots (5-1) (4, W @BUF) - Next two prime time games (@MIN, IND) should really tell us if they've pulled it all together.
3. Denver Broncos (5-1) (5, W @CLE) - Ditto (IND, @PIT). They will probably have to ramp up the offense to get it done, though.
2. Indianapolis Colts (6-0) (3, W WAS) - Like I said (@DEN, @NE). The defense seems to have regressed from last year and losing your starting safety doesn't help. I will honestly be amazed if they are 8-0 by Election Day.
1. Chicago Bears (6-0) (2, BYE) - Grossman may be cooling off, but I still can't put them below Indy because of the defense.
