NFL Week 4 Power Rankings

What a boring week in the NFL. The only game that even came close to living up to expectations was the Colts-Jaguars. After almost falling asleep during the late games, I rallied hard and was faced with St. Louis vs San Francisco? Even in the interest of journalism, I was barely able to watch that game. The shootout between Omar and Barksdale’s crew on The Wire was much better than anything the Rams and Niners could put together. Poor ESPN. The good news is that Mike Patrick is back next week.

Rank (Pv) Team Record Comment
1 (1) 3-0 What happens first? Patriots lose a game or Red Sox get knocked out of the playoffs?
2 (2) 4-0 Does limiting the (previously) #1 running team in the NFC to 32 rushing yards count as being “able to stop the run”?
3 (3) 3-0 Just like you can’t lose your starting job to injury, you can’t lose your 3rd place ranking to a bye week.
3 (4) 3-1 But beating the tough Jacksonville D does get you into a tie for 3rd.
5 (8) 4-0 I get the feeling Atlanta will do the most moving in ranking week to week this season. Madly inconsistent.
6 (5) 3-0 They were able to get past a terrible Miami team with Chad Pennington playing his first bad game of the season.
7 (6) 2-1 Hey dawg… hey… 84 don’t stretch during the bye week…everyone know 84 don’t stretch.
8 (8) 3-1 Was able to hang with Indy for most of the game. But there’s a big difference between Manning and Leftwich that not even a very good defense can make up.
9 (10) 3-1 Come on Denver, give me a reason to move you past the Jaguars. Barely beating the Bucs isn’t it. Oh, and John Lynch, that’s what you get for trying to be a gentlemen.
10 (11) 2-1 Still can’t quite figure out if this team is for real yet.
11 (16) 3-1 Here’s the plan. Duce, you run it to the 2 yard line. Bus, you run it in for the TD. We’ll piss off as many fantasy owners as possible.
12 (15) 3-1 I’ll tell you right now this is a 9-7 team at best. Talk to me if when you beat Dallas in Dallas.
13 (7) 2-2 When your defense gives up 27 on MNF, you drop 6 spots. Oh, and Jamal, listen to Ray Lewis, he knows how to avoid jail time.
14 (18) 2-1 How do you move up during a bye week? Have the teams in front of you look like they should’ve just taken the week off.
15 (22) 2-2 The Mad Genius tries to make a point by run run running the ball. Still in the running for smug asshole coach of the year.
16 (12) 2-2 How much longer till Aaron Brooks gets run out of town? Blames everyone else but himself. Last I checked, he’s the guy who fumbled at the 1.
17 (23) 2-2 OK, beating Billy Volek is no big deal but they did drop 38 on the Titans D and Drew Brees isn’t ready to give way to Rivers yet.
18 (13) 1-2 John Fox should call Pedro to get some advice cause Michael Vick is the Panther’s daddy.
19 (24) 2-2 I said Carr wouldn’t cut his hair unless they made the playoffs. Turns out the deal was after 2 wins in a row. Talk about low expectations.
20 (14) 2-2 Kerry Collins somehow learned from Kurt Warner and is starting to give away the ball to whoever wants it.
21 (28) 1-3 Very impressive win on Monday Night Football shows the Chiefs aren’t quite ready to give up the West yet. Still, if your top WR is Chris Horn, you got problems.
22 (25) 2-2 Yes, I know they have a better record than the Chefs, but I’d take KC head to head.
23 (20) 1-3 Got absolutely smoked by the …Chargers. Next week’s game is basically an elimination match.
24 (17) 1-3 I know Favre will play next week but do the Packers have a succession plan? Doug Pederson ain’t it. Lose next week and season is over.
25 (19) 1-3 So you sit behind Jon Kitna for a year and supposedly absorbed everything. Then you get outplayed by the true rookie Rothlisberger? Ouch.
26 (21) 1-3 Marty? Spurrier? Gibbs? Coaching salary keeps going up, results stay the same.
27 (27) 1-3 Arizona finally breaks through with a win. A couple more and they might not be the Tampa Bay Devil Rays of the NFL.
28 (26) 1-3 Quinn is a 6’6″ guy who can’t see the field and their backup is Chad Hutchinson who can’t even beat out Quincy Carter. It’s going to be a long cold winter in Chicago.
29 (29) 0-3 They had a chance to take down the champs but fumbled it away. There’s an APB out for Drew Bledsoe’s game.
30 (30) 0-4 Well, at least they scored some points this week.
31 (31) 0-4 I wonder what is worse for Florida, the hurricanes or the putrid smell coming out of Pro Player stadium.
32 (32) 0-4 Gruden is going to be the oldest head coach in the league by the time this season is over.
