NFL Power Rankings: Week 6
1. Chicago Bears (5-0): Best team in the NFL, period. Their Defense doesn't let anybody score, and Rex Grossman is playing great at QB. Now that they've got an offense, these boys look scary. (Note: Offense leads the NFL in Points Scored).
2. Indianapolis Colts (5-0): Until They lose, I've gotta have them as the number one team in the AFC. The only issue, is the New York Jets and especially the Tennessee Titans gave them a scare. That being said, they are undefeated, and they look tough to beat. Manning is playing great. The only issue, is if they want to contend for the Super Bowl, the defense needs to play better. (Chicago, Baltimore, Denver, New England, Pittsburgh, San Diego, Jacksonville, and even Cincinnati have allowed fewer points than Indy). Those aren't the only teams that have allowed fewer points, but those are just some of the NFL's better teams that do have better defensive numbers.
3. New England Patriots (4-1): They look really good right now, and if you question whether they are for real or not, just look at how well they played against the Bengals.
4. San Diego Chargers (3-1): They've scored 103 points and only allowed 36. LT is running well, and for being a first time starter Phillip Rivers looks pretty good. With that good Offensive-Defensive combo, look out for San Diego This Post-Season.
5. Denver Broncos (3-1): After that weird loss to St. Louis in week one, they started ballin'. The Defense is terrific (only allowed 34 points). But the Offense has only scored 49 points. You seem to have a great Defense and no offense in Denver. Here's a stat to back this all up. Jake Plummers passer rating is a lowly 60.9! Listen, I like Denvers Super Bowl chances pretty damn well, but come on, how many Super Bowl Championship teams have had a QB with a Rating less than 61?
6.Philadelphia Eagles (4-1): Maybe it's just me, or has the departure of T.O. made playing QB easier on McNabb. Right now, Donovan McNabb is playing the Best QB in the NFL, and his team is playing a great supporting cast, doing what they need to do. Listen, the Eagles are for Real.
7. Baltimore Ravens (4-1): Losing to Denver was tough, but come on, they still look really hard to beat on any given Sunday. As I've said earlier, McNair's health long term is a concern.
8. Cincinnati Bengals (3-1): That loss to New England was pretty dismal. Let's see how they respond this week against the Buccaneers.
9. New Orleans Saints (4-1): Nobody belives in Drew Brees, Deuce McAllister, Reggie Bush, or Joe Horn, but I think that that 4-1 record speaks for itself.
10. Seattle Seahawks (3-1): That loss to the Bears was sad, but they'll rebound. The real question, is how much does Sean Alexander mean to these guys, since without him, the Bears ate them for lunch. (Note: Bears beat them 37-6)
11. Atlanta Falcons (3-1): Defense is tough to beat, since they've only given up 42 points, and with Mike Vick at the helm, you know the offense is a threat. Picking up DE John Abraham was a brilliant move for this team.
12. Carolina Panthers (3-2): They've clawed their way back into the picture after their dismal 0-2 start. They're toughness will be tested over these next two weeks as they travel to Baltimore and Cincinnati.
13. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-2): I got faith in this team, they're a team to watch out for, but you can't help but think that a 7 point loss to Indy and a 6 point loss to Washington is gonna prey on their minds as they enter their bye week.
14. Minnesota Vikings (3-2): This Viking team is a mystery. Close against the Bears, a bizzarre loss to Buffalo, and an easy win against Detroit. I like them as an NFC Wild Card contender at best, but they need to play better.
15. St. Louis Rams (4-1): Three of their four wins have come against Arizona, Green Bay, and Detroit. Plus, they lost to San Francisco. Not impressive in my book. (They did however beat Denver some how.)
16. Kansas City Chiefs (2-2): This week is Pittsburgh. If they can beat the Steel City, look for a sign of life from these chiefs.
17. New York Giants (2-2): They seem to be an up and down team, filled with comebacks and dismal losses. Beating Washington was a good start, but they'll need a lot to beat the Falcons this week.
18. Pittsburgh Steelers (1-3): They have to beat Kansas City, otherwise things will be really ugly. The Defense looks ok, but where is the "O"?
19. Dallas Cowboys (2-2): Look for T.O. to mess things up.
20. Washington Redskins (2-3): All looked good, and then along came the Giants. Weak performance last week. But since Tennessee is next, look for them to ROCK Tennessee's world.
21. San Francisco 49ers (2-3): Beating the Raiders, no matter how bad they may be, is always sweet for 'Frisco.
22. New York Jets (2-3): They are too inconsistent, two weeks ago, they almost stunned the Colts, and last week Jacksonville walked all over them in a 41-0 stampede. They need to be more consistent, but I do think that Chad Pennington's 89.2 passer rating is a good sign for this team.
23. Buffalo Bills (2-3): This franchise still need a lot of work, J.P. Losman is still an inexperienced QB, and the Defense is plagued with injuries, but despite all that, they'll beat the Lions this week.
24. Arizona Cardinals (1-4): Lame out there in Arizona. It's a shame, because Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin, and Edgerin James are acually pretty good guys to go with Kurt Warner. Hey, you know what is exciting? They're playing on Monday Night Football this week! Do you know why Cardinal fans are crying for help? They are facing the Bears this week on Monday Night Football in Arizona. Can you spell blow out?
25. Miami Dolphins (1-4): Lame. That's all I can say. I bought the hype, and I want a refund. This is weak football down in Miami right now, and I think they should feel embarrassed.
26. Cleveland Browns (1-4): They got work to do.
27. Green Bay Packers (1-4): They do suck, but I do like Brett Favres valiant effort.
28. Houston Texans (1-3): David Carr needs a better Defense to help him out. He has a 108.9 passer rating right now!
29. Tampa Bay Buccanneers (0-4): Chris Simms is having a tough time out there, and his team isn't much help to him.
30. Detroit Lions (0-4): Lame football, and with the Tigers going to the World Series, nobody in Detroit cares about them at all.
31. Tennessee Titans (0-5): At Least they aren't # 32. Start Vince today.
32. Oakland Raiders (0-4): Commitment to dissapointment and crappy footaball. The whole team is playing like chicken shit.
