The Top 2 teams in last week's rankings lost, so the top 5 has changed drastically. The Raiders continue to soar and are knocking on the door of the top 10 ............... :icon_eek: ......... isn't this a sign of the apocalypse? [TABLE]#1 Colts (5-2) 41.21 -- Quality wins are helping to mask the loss to the Jaguars #2 Giants (5-2) 38.29 -- Get leapfrogged by one of the teams they lost to #3 Jets (5-2) 35.15 -- Offense reverted on Sunday #4 Steelers (5-2) 32.93 -- Defense just hasn't played that well the last few weeks #5 Packers (5-3) 24.97 -- I have to admit I'm shocked they came away with a win on Sunday #6 Falcons (5-2) 21.05 -- Can they fix their defensive holes in time for the playoffs? #7 Ravens (5-2) 19.79 -- How much better can they get by January as they get healthy? #8 Saints (5-3) 17.39 -- If their offense can get it together, they are still one of the best #9 Patriots (6-1) 17.02 -- Haven't had many real tests. #10 Titans (5-3) 16.28 -- If only they could play NFC teams every week #11 Chargers (3-5) 15.91 -- Passionate halftime speech by Norv propelled them to victory? #12 Chiefs (5-2) 11.65 -- Playing smart. Keep letting other teams beat themselves #13 Raiders (4-4) 8.14 -- When this team is 'on', they are dangerous. #14 Eagles (4-3) 7.40 -- Will some moves on defense help them? #15 Dolphins (4-3) 5.18 -- They need to ask the league to move the rest of their home games to road games #16 Buccaneers (5-2) 4.62 -- Just Win, baby! #17 Bears (4-3) 3.66 -- I have a feeling they will continue to slide as the season progresses #18 Lions (2-5) 0.55 -- Now a top 20 team? #19 Bengals (2-5) -6.47 -- Could this be the swan song for Marvin? #20 Redskins (4-4) -6.84 -- Facepalm for Shanny #21 Texans (4-3) -8.32 -- Defensive problems remain #22 Rams (4-4) -10.32 -- Keep beating inferior teams #23 Seahawks (4-3) -10.36 -- Mulligan #24 Browns (2-5) -12.06 -- Starting to figure out how to win? #25 Cowboys (1-6) -14.80 -- Have they cashed in the season? #26 49ers (2-6) -18.31 -- Only 2.5 games out of first.

Nicely done....no complaints. Jets & Steelers losing puts us further in the argument that the G-Men are the best team in the NFL. The Patriots deserve a higher ranking though.....they are back to their no-name offense besides Brady.....they had more success under that philosophy than in their 2007-2009 philosophy of lighting up the scoreboard.....running it up. But they have yet to face a serious challenge....I'll agree with you.
Agreed, but the Ravens win was quality, and getting out of San Diego with a win was a plus. 9th is low. I do like them getting back to what made them successful vs that flashy crap that didn't win any Super Bowls, but did pad Brady's HOF stats.
Anyone else think Moss would be an interesting pickup for the bucs? Idk if Morris would want to deal with his crap, but I could see him making a nice impact on that young team. Freeman to Moss all day!
Football Outsiders has the Chiefs #1, the Chargers #7, the Ravens #13, and the Buccaneers #23 ..................... and you thought MY formula was weird .................... :icon_cheesygrin:
Football Outsiders is great for stats...not so much for their rankings. lol Your off the hook captain.... :icon_cheesygrin:
