Power Rankings, Week 3
Lots of movement in the Power Rankings after week 3. All 3 top 3 teams from
last week's rankings
took home a loss and a few teams came away with surprise victories.
32. Buffalo Bills (0-3) (prev: 32nd):
Isn't it weird when losing to the Patriots by only 8 points seems like a victory? Plain and simple, the Bills suck.
31. Carolina Panthers (0-3) (prev: 30th):
Carson Palmer plays like complete shit and the Panthers can't make the game closer than 13 points? What happened to what was once one of the best rushing attacks in the NFL?
30. Detroit Lions (0-3) (prev: 27th):
Shaun Hill actually hasn't played as poorly as I thought he would, but he's still no Matt Stafford. If Jahvid Best misses a significant amount of time with the turf toe injury, the scariest players in the Lions' backfield now become the opposing team's front seven.
29. Cleveland Browns (0-3) (prev: 30th):
Whatchu talkin' 'bout Hillis? Actually, I don't care what he's talkin' 'bout. 144 yards and a TD against the Baltimore Ravens? That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! And yet, this team still has little hope. Maybe they should move the Browns to another city so that they can get good and win a Superbowl.
28. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-1) (prev: 26th):
Now we see what happens when the Buccaneers have to play a legitimate professional football team. When Charlie Batch throws for 3 TDs against you, it means you suck.
27. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-2) (prev: 22nd):
Sean Considine starts for the Jaguars and he's actually not the worst player on their defense. Need I say more?
26. St. Louis Rams (1-2) (prev: 29th):
The Rams best offensive player went down and this team didn't miss a beat. Sam Bradford looks way more polished than I ever expected.
25. Oakland Raiders (1-2) (prev: 23rd):
Watching Janikowski miss 3 field goals on Sunday made
me
want to drink. You can bet your ass Janikowski pounded a handle of vodka after the Raiders loss to the Cardinals. Considering how he played, maybe he was drinking before the game?
24. Denver Broncos (1-2) (prev: 24th):
Kyle Orton threw for 150 more yards than Peyton Manning. That's not because Manning threw for something like 180 yards. Orton went nuts and threw for 476 yards. Who said this guy is just a game manager? Sadly, he needs to throw that much because the Broncos don't seem to have a viable running game right now.
23. San Diego Chargers (1-2) (prev: 20th):
If the Chargers keep it up, Norv Turner won't be able to get blown out in the playoffs this year. So Ryan Mathews is injured, maybe that's why you don't trade up 20 spots in the draft to take a running back.
22. Arizona Cardinals (2-1) (prev: 28th):
Well, this team has played like complete bird shit and somehow they're 2-1. With Beanie Wells coming back, maybe this offense finally starts to get it together. If not, it's really unbelievable how much Kurt Warner can mean to a team.
21. Seattle Seahawks (2-1) (prev: 25th):
Whether they suck or not, you gotta respect this team at home where they're now 2-0 on the season. It helps when you've got a guy like Leon "Boom Boom" Washington returning two kicks for TDs.
20. San Francisco 49ers (0-3) (prev: 15th):
Probably the most talented team in the NFC West, the 49ers are the only team in that division that hasn't gotten a win yet. And it doesn't get any easier as the 49ers head to Atlanta in week 4. So who gets fired this week after the Niners lose?
19. New York Giants (1-2) (prev: 19th):
The old Eli showed up and decided to play like a complete and utter slouch against Tennessee. On the bright side, the Giants weren't run all over by Chris Johnson. He only put up 125 yards on the G-men with a 3.9 average.
18. Washington Redskins (1-2) (prev: 9th):
Did McNabb overlook the lowly Rams with Philadelphia on the schedule next? Even if he did, that doesn't explain how the Redskins' D mailed it in this week. The Redskins are better than what we saw in week 3 but they can't win a championship on paper. Everyone knows the Vikings have that championship wrapped up.
17. New England Patriots (2-1) (prev: 8th):
It's official. This team sucks when they can't cheat to win. Beating the Bills by 8 in Foxboro is like stalemating against an invalid in a game of chess: you didn't win but it isn't anything to be proud about.
16. Miami Dolphins (2-1) (prev: 18th):
If the Dolphins get Brandon Marshall involved like they did against the Jets, Miami is going to be very difficult to stop.
15. Philadelphia Eagles (2-1) (prev: 22nd):
With Kolb, the Eagles were a bottom 10 team. With Vick, the Eagles may just be unstoppable. An even better story than the Eagles turnaround is the fact that it seems like Vick is turning his life around. You may hate him, but I feel good for the guy.
14. Dallas Cowboys (1-2) (prev: 16th):
It was only a matter of time until this team overcame their inept coaching and won a football game. The Cowboys offense isn't going to be playing the Texans defense every week, though.
13. Cincinnati Bengals (2-1) (prev: 10th):
Carson Palmer and this offense look like me the morning after my birthday party: in terrible condition. Bengals are winning but shouldn't Marvin Lewis be on the hot seat?
12. Atlanta Falcons (2-1) (prev: 17th):
Wouldn't it be cool if Jason Snelling's last name was Bachman? Then the Falcons' backfield could be called the Bachman-Turner Overdrive. Ok, maybe that wouldn't be that cool.
11. Minnesota Vikings (1-2) (prev: 13th):
Slow clap. You beat the Lions. Bravo. Now go out and beat a real football team and I'll be mildly impressed.
10. New York Jets (2-1) (prev: 11th):
This team has the uncanny ability to just win. Great job by the Jets against the Dolphins and they won it partly on the offensive side of the ball. These guys deserve some fuckin' snacks.
9. Kansas City Chiefs (3-0) (prev: 14th):
This team might go undefeated at home. The Chiefs are a testament to how big of a difference good coaches can make for a team. The talent has always been here, now they've got the coaching staff in place to use that talent in the right ways.
8. Houston Texans (2-1) (prev: 3rd):
The defense still needs to be fixed but maybe that happens when Cushing comes backs. This offense isn't the same without a healthy Andre Johnson, though.
7. Tennessee Titans (2-1) (prev: 7th):
The offensive line isn't creating the holes that it once did. If Chris Johnson gets hit all season like he did against the Giants, he's not going to last 16 games.
6. Baltimore Ravens (2-1) (prev: 4th):
The Ravens got an ugly win against the Browns. It was good to see Flacco finally have a good game but the defense let me down against a piss-poor Browns offense.
5. Chicago Bears (3-0) (prev: 12th):
Everything went right for the Bears Monday Night and they still barely came away with a victory at home. That's not to say the Bears aren't a good team but Cutler isn't going to have penalties to bail him out on poorly thrown balls every time. You've got to give it to this defense, though. They got after the ball against the Pack.
4. Indianapolis Colts (2-1) (prev: 5th):
The Colts lead the league in reception TDs by some random white guy they picked up off the street. Who the hell is Blair White? Let's not forget Austin Collie hauled in 2 TD catches, too. Peyton never ceases to amaze me.
3. New Orleans (2-1) (prev: 1st):
C'mon Garrett, you've got to make that field goal. It's not that the Saints aren't that good. The Falcons are a lot better than at first expected this year. An OT loss to them is nothing to sneeze at.
2. Green Bay Packers (2-1) (prev: 2nd):
Too many penalties. Clean it up and this team won't lose very often. It wouldn't hurt to trade for a running back either.
1. Pittsburgh Steelers (3-0) (prev: 6th):
I won't lie, I thought Charlie Batch's career was over 10 years ago. If this team can win with Leftwich, Dixon, and Batch, just imagine what they can do with Ben Roethlisberger.
