After week 5, and still 3 unbeaten teams... though, only barely.
The top 2 are still in a class of their own, mostly because they don't get caught up in the trap games. Terry, before you say anything, your Cowboys will have a chance to change things this weekend at home against the Pats.
Without further ado:
- NE - The best. Period.
- IND - Even without important starters (Sanders, Addai) they rolled a reeling TB team.
- DAL - I was waiting for Denny Green to come out for Jauron: "They are who we thought they are. And we let them off the hook!"
One loss teams:
- PIT - By far the best one loss team. Except for a hiccup against their former coaching staff, this team has dominated. The BYE week should let them get some guys (Polamalu, Hampton, Holmes, Ward) healthy and ready to go.
- GB - They finally start running the ball and they lose. Farve did what he hadn't been doing: looking like an old Tony Romo and turned the ball over.
- JAX - KC > ATL.
- TEN - See above.
- your WASHINGTON Redskins - If I was a homer, they'd jump the AFC South teams. I'm tempted to do it out of objectivity after a beat down put on DET, a team much better than ATL and KC... combined.
The league gets muddy after the one loss teams:
- NYG - The defense looks like it's been fixed. I'm not sold on Eli and the offense.
- HOU - They win without their best offensive weapons. Those weapons get healthy and watch out.
- BAL - They keep winning ugly. I'm still waiting on this offense to get going.
- SEA - Ran into the buzzsaw that is PIT.
- TB - Ran into the buzzsaw that is IND. The loss of the top 2 RBs will hurt. I expect them to free fall from this spot. But then again, I've learned not to doubt Garcia.
- ARI - Warner has looked solid. Edge is back with a little help from Wiz.
- OAK - By default? Or are they actually kinda good?
Best of the pack:
- SD - Call me a sucker, but I think they turned the corner.
- CLE - Out of it early, but gave NE a run for the spread. No one else has.
- CIN - Moved up by way of everyone else moving down.
- DET - I doubt they'll only score 3 points in the coming weeks. That D got exposed.
- CHI
- SF - The defense looks pretty solid. As long as Dilfer is starting, they might be in trouble.
- CAR - I watched Carr in HOU. I know the fairy tale will end, they can't play winless teams every week.
- KC
- DEN - Yikes. Ummm, go Rockies ?
- PHI - I'm still waiting.
- MIN
The rest:
- ATL - QB controversey... and then there's the Vick thing.
- NYJ - Had the decency to start their collapse in the 3rd quarter.
- BUF - Nothing to say here.
And the (still) winless:
- NO - Only 4 weeks of bad play gets them tops of this list.
- STL - Frerotte sighting. A healthy Gus looked rusty, but better than a beat up Bulger... as long as he doesn't hit a wall head first.
- MIA - Green's career is in doubt. His season, and the team's, aren't. Ricky Williams anyone?
As always, let me have it in the comments.
I'll get these submitted
after some commentary by the peanut gallery, though it looks pretty good to me. I might have to bump the Redskins up just a skosh.Skin Patrol - October 9, 2007
