1 week is finished and it's already becoming apparent which teams are legit and which ones should just quit.

32. Seattle Seahawks (0-1, prev. 31): After one game, it's safe to say that Tarvaris Jackson is not the answer in Seattle. Maybe Andrew Luck is?

31. Denver Broncos (0-1, 29): Announcers for Monday night's game seemed to think that Kyle Orton was better than he actually is. It's amazing what good coaching can do. This team is going nowhere, hence the Tebow chants on Monday. And if Fox succumbs to the Tebow chants, they're really going nowhere.

30. Miami Dolphins (0-1, 26): The pass defense on this team is atrocious. Or maybe Tom Brady is really that good. I'm going to blame the pass defense for now.

29. Carolina Panthers (0-1, 30): The Panthers showed they can put up points but it was against a suspect Cardinals defense. And other than Steve Smith and Cam Newton, I didn't notice anyone else looking particularly good. At least with Cam Newton, Stewart and Williams have another player to steal goal line carries from them now.

28. Cincinnati Bengals (1-0, 32): A win over the Browns will move a team from the last place ranking but let's remember, it's still only a win over the Browns.

27. Cleveland Browns (0-1, 22): Losing to a team starting a rookie QB isn't the best way to start the season. Still, Cleveland has some hope if Colt McCoy can continue to develop into a quality quarterback. But let's remember, we're talking about the Browns.

26. Tennessee Titans (0-1, 27): Tennessee ended up losing but should take three positives out of it: Chris Johnson didn't get injured, Matt Hasselbeck didn't get injured, and Kenny Britt wasn't suspended. If the defense comes together, the offense will be decent enough to give teams a run for their money.

25. Washington Redskins (1-0, 28): The Redskins surprised many by pulling off a victory over the Giants. I was more impressed that Rex Grossman didn't get hurt. The win says more about the Giants than the Redskins.

24. Indianapolis Colts (0-1, 15): A lot of people say that one person doesn't make a team. In Peyton's case, that saying is incorrect.

23. St. Louis Rams (0-1, 23): Well, I called it that Steven Jackson would get hurt. Stupid dreadlocks. Now we have to see if the Cadillac still has what it takes. The injury to Bradford is cause for concern but this team didn't look completely terrible against what is supposed to be a good Eagles team.

22. Oakland Raiders (1-0, 25): I actually woke up my sleeping brother when Janikowski nailed that 63 yarder by hooting and hollering. Wait, what's it say about me that I got that excited over a field goal?

21. Minnesota Vikings (0-1, 16): The Vikings play inside so don't expect McNabb to kill too many worms with his throws at receivers' feet. But really, throwing for under 50 yards is just embarrassing.

20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-1, 20): If the Buccaneers are only going to get 15 yards out of Blount per game, they're not going to do very well. This team benefited from a weak schedule last year. I smell an under .500 team.

19. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-0, 21): The Jaguars managed to eek out a win but how far are they really going with Luke McCown at QB? I think that's asking a little bit much out of MJD.

18. New York Giants (0-1, 13): This team has major issues on defense. Not even a top 1-2 QB like Eli Manning can compensate for that.

17. Kansas City Chiefs (0-1, 14): The good thing for the Chiefs is that week 1's game only counted as one loss. The bad thing is that this team needs to make some major adjustments on defense. Losing Eric Berry for the season isn't going to help matters.

16. Arizona Cardinals (1-0, 17): Well, Patrick Peterson has proven himself as a return specialist but Arizona needs somebody who can cover. Maybe the Cardinals shouldn't have traded DRC for a guy that can't figure out how to get the ball to the best WR in the game.

15. Chicago Bears (1-0, 18): I think the Falcons are still hungover from the 2010 season. Chicago got to take advantage of it this time around but they shouldn't expect to be basically given a victory next week.

14. Buffalo Bills (1-0, 24): Ryan Fitzpatrick is the smartest quarterback in the NFL. It's not just because he went to Harvard . . . ok, yes it is. But really, the Bills have an offense that looks like it can compete with just about any team in the league.

13. Atlanta Falcons (0-1, 10): This team has absolutely no heart. I have nothing to write about them until they grow a collective pair of balls.

12. San Francisco 49ers (1-0, 19): San Francisco probably won't have Ted Ginn return 2 touchdowns in a single game any time soon but this defense is looking solid and the team no longer has to play with the fear that Mike Singletary will rip their heads off and shit down their throats . . . or slap his dick in their faces. All that added together makes for some good football.

11. Dallas Cowboys (0-1, 11): Dallas may be looking back on week 1 if they end up missing the playoffs this year. I have to admit, it was enjoyable watching Romo find a way to blow the Cowboys' lead, and I usually don't like watching a dude blow something.

10. Pittsburgh Steelers (0-1, 6): There is getting raped and then there is getting murdered. Ben Roethlisberger and Ray Lewis both know the difference. The Steelers need to (and I'm betting they will) get their shit together.

9. Houston Texans (1-0, 12): Beating up on Kerry Collins isn't really that impressive but the Texans were also without Arian Foster. The depth this team has at running back is scary. Or is Gary Kubiak just working his magic once again?

8. New York Jets (1-0, 4): The manner in which the Jets were dominated throughout 3 quarters was an embarrassment. But they also get some credit for making one hell of a comeback -- even if the win was basically handed to them by Romo.

7. New Orleans Saints (0-1, 2): What's amazing is that the Saints were basically out of the game all game against the Packers and yet somehow had a chance to tie it up on the last play of the game. That is why Drew Brees is awesome.

6. New England Patriots (1-0, 8): Watching Brady throw for over 500 yards was pretty amazing. I'm even happier that he's on my fantasy team. But letting Henne throw for 400+ yards? Looks like New England still has issues on defense. Luckily for them, they may be able to outscore everyone else.

5. Detroit Lions (1-0, 9): It's ridiculous that Calvin Johnson had his TD called back on a bogus review by the officials. Oh wait, it's 2011? And the Lions actually look like legitimate contenders? Detroit needs to say a prayer every night that Matt Stafford stays healthy.

4. Philadelphia Eagles (1-0, 7): Vick, McCoy, and Jackson are proving to be quite possibly the most dynamic trio in all of football. Actually, not even "quite possibly," these three really just are the most dynamic trio in all of football. Not even Campbell, McFadden, and Heyward-Bey can compete.

3. Baltimore Ravens (1-0, 5): It's about damn time this team let Ray Rice carry the workload. Good things happen to people who give Rutgers' alumni chances. So, any ladies out there want to go on a date?

2. Green Bay Packers (1-0, 3): Does it get any better than Mike McCartney? And to think, Packers fans had mixed feelings on this guy heading into last year.

1. San Diego Chargers (1-0, 1): I have no clue how the Chargers ended up beating the Vikings. Probably because Philip Rivers is the fucking man like I said he was last week. Even Norv Turner could lead this team to a Superbowl berth this year. Which is good, because Norv Turner is their coach.

Knock the
Cahrgers down to about 12th. They had a home game against a non-playoff team and barely won.

I would go Ravens, Bears, Lions, Packers, Patriots in that order.

The Colts should be dead last

[dserbokim]

Let's hope not.

I give the Chargers credit for coming back in that game. I could have dropped them but I think it's simply a crisis averted for them. They will get better as the season goes along.

Also, are you buying into the Lions hype, too? I really do think that team could be good this year.

I like how the Bears cruised to an easy victory over the Falcons and somehow are still the inferior team.

Dallas may be looking back on week 1 if they end up missing the playoffs this year

I'm just not sold on the Bears this year.

Ah, I thought you meant let's hope I don't enjoy watching guys blow things.

I chuckled the first time I read it.

I has assumed as much. Still makes no sense to have them ranked lower than a team they just completely dominated in the previous week.

That said, the early part of their schedule should support your position seeing that they have the Saints and Packers in the next 2 games.

Watching the Bears-Saints game is confirmation that the Bears blow. The refs had to basically give the Bears a million chances in order for them to score on their first scoring drive here.

We'll be 2-0 in an hour and a half.
