I was away for much of the weekend and thus did not get to view too many games, but thanks to the wonder of TiVo and an extremeley comfortable chair, I managed to get through most of the highlights and game summaries. So off we go.
1.) Tennessee Titans- #1 and still the champions! A great defensive battle with the Ravens left their fans on a high note. But it left some doubt as to their offensive ability...can the giants or washington take the top spot soon?
2.) Washington Redskins- In my personal opinion, after week 1 they showed they are the better team than the Giants. But a HUGE win against Philidelphia confirmed it.
3.) New York Giants- I have succumbed to peer pressure here. I understand where people are coming from, saying the Giants are the best team...but I ask you, have they played a team over .500 (other than Washington)? No.
4.) Pittsburgh Steelers- They pounded out a big win against Jacksonville and proved they can win without a lot of their starters.
5.) Dallas Cowboys- Oh how the mighty have fallen. They had a 17-0 lead yet gave up essentially the whole lead until late in the game where they barely won!
6.) Carolina Panthers- Delhomme is my fantasy sleeper of the year. This man is savior to my fantasy team...Anywho, the Panthers continued their winning ways with a win against, Kansas City.
7.) Denver Broncos- The defense played well and the offense continued its dominance. That is the winning formula. Good effort by the Broncos.
8.) Buffalo Bills- I understand losing your QB in the 1st quarter is rough, but you should at least put up 20 points on the average Cardinals defense.
9.) New England Patriots- Tough battle win against San Francisco. But ultimatley it showed my they cannot win on defense alone...they need offense badly.
10.) Arizona Cardinals- Impressive home game against Buffalo...Kurt Warner for MVP?? Maybe.
11.) Atlanta Falcons- Start believing folks. They marched into Green Bay and made their defense look like trash. This is a high power offense with a lot of talent...beware.
12.) Indianapolis Colts- They should have lost, but the leaping efforts of Rosenfels backfired for the Texans and Indy stole one!
13.) Chicago Bears- Kyle Orton looks good. He is winning games and playing just solid enough that his defense can win games.
14.) Green Bay Packers- I put them here because as they get healthier they will for sure get a lot better...they will still win their division they just need to get out of their rough start.
15.) Tampa Bay Buccaneers- They have to throw it deep. They just have to or they wont win games...
16.) Baltimore Ravens- Hard loss against the Titans...but they have a great defense and good leader, they can still rebound.
17.) New York Jets- They havent done anything that impressive. Sure Brett threw for 6 TD's but honestly how often is a 38 year old QB going to do that?
18.) Philidephia Eagles- Injuries are a concern but they were beat legitamtley by the Redskins. They need to get Westbrook healthy and soon!
19.) Minnesota Vikings- Cheap win against the Saints. They had a total of 35 yards yet put up 17 points in the first quarter because of New Orleans mistakes.
20.) Miami Dolphins- Ronnie Brown continues to dominate and Tony Sparano looks like a genius.
21.) Jacksonville Jaguars- Still a good team with enough talent to rebound, but they need defense and they need it badly.
22.) New Orleans Saints- I still like this team and its chances to rebound. But a healthy Shockey would aid this team immensely.
23.) San Diego Chargers- Its getting rougher by the week. I dont know when the Chargers are going to snap out of it and play like SB champs!
24.) San Francisco 49er's- Good try against the Pats but ultimatley their lack of depth and talent cost them the game.
25.) Cleveland Browns- A Bye week lets them get their mind focused, but Edwards needs to snap out of it and play with some swagger.
26.) Houston Texans- This team could easily be 2-2 or 3-1. They are playing every team close and it comes down to the little things like not leaping over guys and fumbling.
27.) Oakland Raiders- Tom Cable isnt much better. They need to realize it isnt the coach...they just have a terrible team.
28.) Cincinnatti Bengals- They have almost taken down two NFC East team, the Boys and G-Men. They are on play away from being 2-3.
29.) Seattle Seahawks- This is potentially the worst team in the NFL, but I give them a little credit because they won at least one game this season.
30.) Kansas City Chiefs- Please, please, please stop playing in the NFL...its just hard to watch.
31.) Detroit Lions- FIRE MARINELLI!!!!!
32.) St. Louis Rams- FIRE EVERYONE!!!!!

Thank you for not putting the Giants @ #1. I love them, but your right...they haven't played anyone yet.
G-MEN are the…

The G-Men are good, yet I feel like they have lots of holes. I have watched everyone of their games, and I see major holes in their offense and defense. I believe if you can double team Plax over the top and underneath you essentially take away their passing threat.
Then you can manage to hold Amani and Steve Smith easily because they are not big threats. If you can effectivley do that, you take away their deep threat, and can maybe bring a couple more blitzes to stop their running game.

I think the Giants deserve the number 1 spot.
I agree with your point that they haven't faced tough opponents this year - however they won their playoff games last year including overcoming the heavily favored Pats. Because we're only 5 weeks into this season, I don't think we can dismiss the last half of last season yet.
Good list overall.

I agree with you Yoda. I certainly am not dissmissing the fact they won the superbowl. I am just questioning can they play a full season of outstanding football without Osi, Strahan, and depth at alot of positions...

The G-Men deserve to be number one! How quickly we forget ROAD PLAYOFF WINS in Tampa, Dallas, Green Bay and ending New Englands bid for perfection... The win streak is eight games and counting. The NFC East is the mecca of high quality NFL football. Should stay on the throne till someone knocks them down a peg

Green Bay at #14, really? Injuries or not, you think that a 2-3 record, with the two victories coming against teams with a combined 2-7 record (Minnesota and Detroit) truly represents a franchise that is better than a majority of teams in the NFL? Oh, and did I mention that the Packers were actually trailing the winless Lions midway through the fourth quarter before Detroit imploded? Yet, you make the claim, in the same blog, that the Jets haven't done "anything that impressive" despite the fact that their two victories have come against teams with a combined 5-4 record (Miami and Arizona). Based on those facts, rather than your feeling that the Packers "will for sure get a lot better", I would submit that if the Jets have truly been unimpressive, thus far, then Green Bay has been downright lousy, and these teams should be switched in your ratings.

The Bengals nearly won 3 games this year, two of which were against the Cowboys and Giants. They arent as horrible as everyone thinks.
