We’re still at least a week or two away from me having enough data to use my ranking system for the Power Rankings. So once again, you’re stuck with my opinions.
They were at the top last week, and there’s no reason not to keep them there. They’re playing some really good football right now.
As much as it pains me to say, yeah, Baltimore is that good. Their defense is still solid (despite having holes in the secondary) and Joe Flacco has emerged as a legitimate NFL quarterback.
They struggled to beat the Bills but still got it done. Pierre Thomas had a great game on the ground to make up for Drew Brees’ lackluster performance. Big test this week against the Jets.
Boy, that was an impressive victory over Tennessee. The difference between the Jets and the Steelers right now is that the Jets are playing to win every down. The Steelers are playing not to lose. In one-possession games the last two weeks, the Jets defense has been blitzing the crap out of the opposing offense. And what do you know, they’re 3-0.
Indy had an impressive win out in the desert on Sunday night. Their offense is starting to click and when that happens, their front 4 can just pin their ears back and go.
Bottom 5
They finally showed some life on offense this week, but they still can’t stop anyone, leaving them at the bottom of the pack and leading the race for the #1 pick.
They’re not far behind the Rams for the worst team in the league. Eric Mangini’s team hates him.
They’d better beat the Redskins in a few weeks because they’re certainly not going to beat the Giants or Dallas the way they’re playing.
This was a tough call between #3 and #4. Tampa gets it for (barely) have a semblance of a defense. Benching Leftwich was a bad move.
Yes, I know there are still 0-3 teams that didn’t make the list, but Washington gets the honor this week. How long will Jim Zorn have his job for? His next 3 opponents are 0-9. He has to win all 3.
