NFL Week Four Power Rankings
Now that we are past critical week three, and up to teams beginning their bye weeks, we have a clearer picture of who is good and in a few cases who is really bad. With that here are my Week four NFL power rankings:
1. New York Giants- They creamed Tampa, but are still the best so far
2. Baltimore Ravens- The team to beat in the AFC North
3. Indianapolis Colts- Peyton can take any defense apart
4. New Orleans Saints- Great offense, pretty good defense, this might be a special year
5. Minnesota Vikings- Favre has played well, but not totally sold on them yet
6. Atlanta Falcons- Loss on the road at the Patriots, but this is a very good team
7. New York Jets- Good test this week with Saints, but this team looks very good
8. New England Patriots- trending down, but score a big win. When will Randy Moss Explode?
9. Philadelphia Eagles- Kevin Kolb may make the Michael Vick signing irrelevant
10. San Diego Chargers- starting to play like the elite team everyone thinks they are
11. Green Bay Packers- Aaron Rodgers could use some more pass protection
12. Chicago Bears- They have shown some resolve in the face of injuries
13. Pittsburgh Steelers- at 1-2 they have the same record as the Detroit Lions
14. Denver Broncos- a very surprising undefeated team
15. Cincinnati Bengals- Palmer is healthy, and defense is playing well
16. San Francisco 49ers- Setting the pace in the NFC west, but will mess RB Frank Gore
17. Dallas Cowboys- This isn’t a great team, but may still be a good team
18. Arizona Cardinals- have pass protection issues
19. Buffalo Bills- TO is on the clock, to blow up and destroy this team
20. Houston Texans- Hard to say week to week, but that probably means no playoffs
21. Jacksonville Jaguars- Maurice Jones Drew is an elite player, but this is the Jaguars
22. Miami Dolphins- Pennington is on IR, and this isn’t a good team
23. Tennessee Titans- 0-3 and Kerry Collins has lost his confidence
24. Carolina Panthers- time for a QB change, and to reestablish the running game
25. Seattle Seahawks- Is the kicker the only problem on this team? Probably not
26. Detroit Lions- they win and jump to the best of the worst at least for this week
27. Oakland Raiders- Jamarcus Russell is clearly not the answer
28. Washington Redskins- Jim Zorn needs to be fired, and this team needs a new owner
29. Cleveland Browns- this team is a mess, and may already need a new Head Coach
30. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Do they regret firing Jon Gruden now?
31. Kansas City Chiefs- The offense is…..well not good
32. St. Louis Rams- playing like they are headed back to Los Angeles
