Zillawrath's NFL Rankings #3

[Seth Drakin of Monster Crap]

1. Chicago Bears - I wish I could move the Bears down over this game. However, the only other underfeated team had a bye week so the Bears stay at #1

2. Indianapolis Colts - They had a bye week and they stay at #2. They better come prepared against Washington because if you dont, Washington beats you.

3. New Orleans Saints - What happened to the Saints that changed them from three wins last year to being the third best team in my rankings. Alot and the Eagles saw that in that game. Easily the best story in the NFL.

4. Seattle Seahawks - Every person who predicted this game told me that the Rams were going to beat the Seahawks. I laugh at every one of those people today.

5. San Diego Chargers - The Chargers beat up on the San Francisco 49ers and move up on my list.

6. Denver Broncos - In a week where winless teams got their first win. The Broncos beat up on the worst team in the NFL.

7. New England Patriots - The Patriots had a bye week this week and they will play the Bills next week.

8. Carolina Panthers - After two bad weeks in the begining, Carolina has proven me right in them being a Super Bowl caliber team.

9. Philadelphia Eagles - After showing Terrell Owens up last week, they fell into a trap called the New Orleans Saints.

10. St. Louis Rams - The Rams kept it close so they stay in the top ten.

11. Baltimore Ravens - The Ravens freefall continues. Hopefully, a bye week will give them time to recover and get back to their winning ways.

12. New York Giants - To all of those NFL scouts who say that Tiki is old and done, watch this game to know that Tiki Barber is still one of the best running backs in the NFL.

13. Dallas Cowboys - Terrell Owens may have been happy about getting the ball this week and scoring TDs, but they played the Houston Texans. Nuff said.

14. Jacksonville Jaguars - The Jaguars had a bye week and they will play Houston next week so they drop.

15. Minnesota Vikings - The Vikings had a bye week and they are probably going to get beat by the Seahawks next week so they drop.

16. Atlanta Falcons - The Falcons better get better after a bad performance against Tiki Barber and the Giants.

17. Cincinatti Bengals - The Bengals had time to rest before this game so what do they do, they lose to the then winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers and rookie backup QB Bruce Gradkowski.

18. New York Jets - The Jets are the only team with an even record which says they can play well or play horrible so who knows.

19. Pittsburgh Steelers - The Steelers and Big Ben are back.

20. Kansas City Chiefs - The Chiefs got beaten this week. Trent Green can not return soon enough.

21. San Francisco 49ers - The 49ers got beat up by a good San Diego team proving that they are not ready yet.

22. Buffalo Bills - The Bills got beat by a horrible Detroit so they fall once again.

23. Washington Redskins - This was supposed to be an easy game for the Redskins so what do they do. They lose.

24. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - They seem to be coming up after beating the Bengals.

25. Cleveland Browns - The Browns had a bye week so they wont move at all.

26. Green Bay Packers - The Packers had a bye week so they wont move up or down.

27. Houston Texans - The Texans had some glimmer of hope at the first quarter, but they fell afterwards.

28. Detroit Lions - The Lions won with Detroit having a great week.

29. Tennessee Titans - The Titans beat up a Redskins team who did not show up. However, Vince Young is rising.

30. Miami Dolphins - Joey Harrington may still lose games, however he keeps it real close.

31. Arizona Cardinals - On Monday Night at halftime, I was ready to celebrate Matt Leinart and the Cardinals. However, after the game, I still think Matt Leinart is the future. But the Cardinals lost the game. The meltdown makes the Cardinals the worst one win team in the NFL.

32. Oakland Raiders - The only reason Arizona is not here is because Oakland hasnt won a damn game yet.

A Nonsensical Bump from me

[EvilMasterBetty, Esq.]

How do you still hate on the Broncos?

I mean, I would have seriously considered making them #1 after that stinkbomb the Bears laid in the desert. They shouldn't be undefeated right now. The Broncos may not score, but thats because they don't have to. They're just like the Patriots were 2-3 years ago. They only beat you by what they need to. If they can hold you to 6 points, they'll only score 13-17 and not risk plays.

[Seth Drakin of Monster Crap]

talk to me when the Broncos have a better record than the Bears, Colts, and Saints and dont play the pathetic Raiders

[Erik Majorwitz]

My Texans are better than the Browns...

[shemmy86]

No Offense but I have a different opinion.

5. San Diego Chargers - The Chargers beat up on the San Francisco 49ers and move up on my list.

So when did the 49ers become a powerhouse again to merit anyone beating them to move up any? Just interested.

3. New Orleans Saints - What happened to the Saints that changed them from three wins last year to being the third best team in my rankings. Alot and the Eagles saw that in that game. Easily the best story in the NFL.

9. Philadelphia Eagles - After showing Terrell Owens up last week, they fell into a trap called the New Orleans Saints.

A little bit of inconsitency there you have the Saints ranked higher than the Eagles and in the same breath you call the Eagles' loss a trap game? A trap game is a game that the winner had no right to win, the Saints had a reasonably good chance to win that game.

19. Pittsburgh Steelers - The Steelers and Big Ben are back.

20. Kansas City Chiefs - The Chiefs got beaten this week. Trent Green can not return soon enough.

You tripped yourself up here The Steelers are going through the Superbowl Slump. You mentioned that the Chiefs lacked the needed player to keep the game competitive (Trent Green). In all right the Steelers did what was necessary win that game and the Chiefs defense ccould make Vinny testaverde look like an all-star so that is why Big Ben looked good.

The Colts are still the #1 team I would rather that offense with Manning in the last two minutes than Rex Grossman and that overachieving offense.

The Falcons are also very overrated, just beat up on Vick and you put yourself in good position to win.

The Colts have beaten Tennessee, Houston and the Jets.

The Bears have beaten Green Bay, Detroit, Minnesota, Buffalo, and Arizona.

Saints have beaten Cleveland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay (with a last second TD)

Broncos beat Kansas City when they still had Green, New England IN Foxboro and Baltimore.

You can't just go by wins & losses in a power ranking. Look at who they beat. Denver has a much more difficult schedule than the other teams, but they still only have 1 loss, which is the same as the rest of them.

Your lists continue to be crap. At least if you do it, take into account more than just "Oh they have one more win because Denver had a bye, so Denver's not as good".

Let me answer a few of those.

San Diego is that high because they have that record, won, and beat a better team than the other team who had that record and won did. San Diego beat San Francisco and Denver beat Oakland. I do believe Oakland is the worser team.

Philadelphia may have had a trap game, but I do not have much sympathy for trap games. The Eagles lost and thats all there is to that.

On the Pittsburgh-Kansas City problem, Pittsburgh beat Kansas City. I know sometimes that doesnt make a team better than the other, but in this case (same record) it does.

The Colts were on a bye week. If they had played a game this week and won, I would have been more than happy to put them ahead of the Bears. If the Bears did lose, I would have put the Colts #1 because they were the only undefeated team left. I will say this again with the Bears, I am begrudgingly putting them at #1 based on rules I have put on my rankings and myself.

[EvilMasterComatose]

EMB wins dude. He wins. Let it go.

[Spyke the Pacers Fan]

I'm a big Chicago Bears fan (gave up on the Lions a long while ago, lol) but even I don't think they should be #1 right now, like EagleMasterBetty said, they have beaten Green Bay, Detroit, Minnesota, Buffalo, and Arizona (I forget who the other team they beat was). I have faith that the Bears can do some things in the playoffs this year, but they need a statement game, that says "We can beat the best in the NFL." So far, they haven't, and Monday's win at Arizona was not it. I'll admit that the Bears did not deserve that win. That was more Arizona choking and lucky breaks by the Bears defense.

Seattle.

I left of the quality wins of each team, except for Denver cause every win but their last has been quality. Denver should be, and is the 3rd best team. I'm sorry, but I'm not quite sold on San Diego yet. They're good, but I'd go with Denver right now.

[Seth Drakin of Monster Crap]

While I am not disagreeing with you that Denver is probably the third best team in the league. I have just made the records more important than everything else in my rules.

[B.A.]

your lists are kinda..um..
