The Good, The Bad & The Ugly of Week 3

It's not just a spaghetti Western anymore. I've divvied up the 32 NFL teams into 3 groups in an attempt to rank them.  As always, hammers and crushes are welcome...

Blondie (The Good)

1. New England: Third week in a row they put up 38 points and limited other team to one or two scores. As much as people despise the Pats, you can't deny we are watching one of the best teams to ever suit up in the NFL right now.

2. Dallas: Finally the 'D' stepped up and matched the offense's fire power.  This Cowboys team is rolling and easily the best team in the NFC.
 
3. Indianapolis: Say what you will about the close games.  One of the best indicators of championship teams is the ability to win the close ones. Last I checked, the Colts are 3-0.

4. Green Bay: The Re-Favre-aisance is on in Green Bay. But can they keep this up all year?

5. Pittsburgh:  Would be ranked #4 if it wasn't for the cupcake schedule so far. They are winning decisively and looking like the best team in the AFC North.

6.  Tampa Bay: Jeff Garcia isn't a fantasy stud, but he's moving this offense nearly flawlessly. The defense ain't so bad either. 

7. Seattle: The best team in the NFC West. Although that's like saying the skinniest person on "The Biggest Loser."

8. Baltimore: Hopefully Baltimore is getting behind Kyle Boller.  Whether they like it or not, the Ravens are 2-0 with him in the lineup.

9. San Diego: The Chargers' offense finally showed some signs of life, but only giving LDT 19 carries is a recipe for losing. Somewhere Marty Schottenheimer is enjoying a fine cigar.

10. Tennessee: I like this team. Can they play deep into January? Not at this point, but they're definitely going in the right direction.

11. Washington: Unlike the Titans, the Redskins are going in the wrong direction. They completely lost their swagger in the 2nd half of the Giants game.

12. Jacksonville: Jack Del Rio is one of the best coaches in the NFL. He's yet to have an elite quarterback, but his teams are competitive every year.

13. Houston: Even with Andre Johnson out, they kept the Colts honest. Last year they would've been blown out of the building.

14. Denver: The supposedly potent Denver offense better start getting TDs instead of FGs if they want to make the playoffs.

Angel Eyes (The Bad)

15. Carolina: So it took a couple of stupid penalties to beat Atlanta. A win is a win right?  Anyone? 

16.  Philadelphia: Look out everyone, especially you Boys wearing Silver & Blue... McNabb got his groove back.

17.  Detroit: Just ask the Lions about McNabb being done with. Can we name Jon Kitna the best Fantasy QB on crappy teams?

18.  Chicago: When the entire stadium is shouting "Griese!," you might wanna listen to them, Lovie.

19.  Cincinatti: The 'D' is still lacking, but so far the offense is making up for it.

20.  San Francisco: Like the Bengals, only the exact opposite.

21.  Arizona: Could we have a little bit of a QB contraversy happenin in Phoenix?  Kurt Warner looked like his old grocery-baggin self.

22.  NY Jets: Pennington put his team on his back and pulled a tough one out against Miami.

23.  NY Giants: If the way they played in the 2nd half against the Redskins is any indication, the Giants still have a chance this season.

Tuco (The Ugly)

24. Minnesota: Tavaris Jackson or Kelly Holcomb? It doesn't matter. Just run the damn ball.

25. Oakland: Oh Sweet Irony! The Browns weren't laughing though.

26. Cleveland: The Browns are actually putting points on the board. Too bad the other team is putting more on.

27. Kansas City: After 2 1/2 games of small gains on the ground, the Chiefs took to the air and found they have a protege' in Dwayne Bowe.

28. Buffalo: I don't know if anything else can go wrong in Buffalo. The Bills are going to have to focus on silver linings this year.

29. St. Louis: Was Orlando Pace really that good? This Rams team is a shell of its former self when Pace is healthy.

30. Atlanta: Joey Harrington played very well against a tough Panthers defense. Take away the dumb DeAngelo Hall penalties, and they won't be too bad.

31. Miami: It's obvious this defense is getting old. But what gets overlooked is the offense ain't no spring chicken either.

32. New Orleans: Ouch. How the mighty have fallen.
