The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of Week 6

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of Week 6

Blondie (The Good)

1.  New England Patriots:  Brady & Co. proved how much better the best of the AFC is than the best of the NFC.  If the Colts don't beat them in Week 9, the '72 Dolphins better get ready for history.

2.  Indianapolis Colts:  Time to prove the Colts are a legitimate repeat threat with their first real test against the Jags.
 
3.  Jacksonville Jaguars:  Next week's game against the Colts will be a great match.  If anyone can slow Peyton down besides the Pats, it will be the Jags.

4.  Pittsburgh Steelers:  A week off most likely did the Steelers well. 

5.  Dallas Cowboys:  So they got shellacked by the Pats.  Who hasn't this year?  They're still better than all the other NFC teams.

6.  NY Giants:  Giants are riding a hot streak.  If you did your fantasy draft over today, Plaxico Burress probably goes top 10.

7.  Green Bay Packers:  Part of having a great season is having some breaks go your way.  So far, a lot of breaks are going the Packers' way.  What will be left when the luck runs out?

8.  Tampa Bay Buccaneers:  They aren't winning pretty, but they are winning and beating teams they should. 

9.  Baltimore Ravens:  The Baltimore 'D' finally showed up.  Then again it was beating up an already beaten up Rams team.

10.  San Diego Chargers:  The Chargers finally put two solid games together on both sides of the ball.  Now sitting at .500, they still have a great shot at coming out on top in the AFC West.

Angel Eyes (The Bad)

11.  Carolina Panthers:  I can't take any team with Vinny Testaverde as the QB seriously.  Call your bookies now for all of Carolina's road games going forward.

12.  Tennessee Titans:  The Titans could start slipping quickly if Vince Young is out for an extended time period.  There's a reason they benched Kerry Collins last year.

13.  Seattle Seahawks:  What happened to the Seahawks' running game?  If Shaun Alexander weren't such a wuss of an RB, we'd be putting Matt Hasselbeck on the MVP list.  I know he's bland and bald, but I can only think of two QB's playing better.

14.  Arizona Cardinals:  See Tennessee.  Now that Kurt Warner is out, I think Arizona can plan on missing the playoffs again.

15.  Washington Redskins:  If these rankings were based on the first half of the game only, the Redskins would be #3.  If we based them on the second half of the game only, they'd be ranked somewhere between the Jets and the Rams.

16.  Cleveland Browns:  I see a .500 seaon in Cleveland's future.  Their offense can keep up with anyone these days.  The defense is still Swiss cheese though.

17.  Philadelphia Eagles:  Both of Philly's wins came against putrid teams.  So please reference Winston Wolf for these guys.

18.  Kansas City Chiefs:  The Chiefs have been looking half way decent.  I don't see them in the playoffs but they aren't nearly as bad as they looked in HBO's "Hard Knocks."

19.  Oakland Raiders:  Next week's game vs. The Chiefs will be a good yard stick for both teams.  Now we'll know who the 2nd and 3rd best teams in the AFC West really are.

20.  Houston Texans:  Few teams are falling faster than the Texans.  Their record may end up being better than last year but you can forget about a post season in Houston.

21.  Minnesota Vikings:  Minny has a problem.  Adrian Peterson has proven to be a great weapon.  The problem is he's their only weapon.  With his past injury problems, does Brad Childress run him into the ground and try to make a run at the post season in the weak NFC?  Or do you conserve this talented back and get him some help for next year?  Hopefully it's the latter.

Tuco (The Ugly)

22.  Chicago Bears:  Is Adrian Peterson that good, or did the Vikings expose some big time holes in the Bears' rush defense?

23.  Detroit Lions:  The week off let a few other teams actually look worse than the Lions.

24.  New Orleans Saints:  The convincing win at Seattle was hopefully a sign the Saints have dealt with their demons and can somehow rebuild their season.

25.  San Francisco 49ers:  See Lions, Detroit

26.  Cincinnati Bengals:  The fire Marvin Lewis coundown has officially began.

27.  Denver Broncos:  I really feel stupid for thinking these guys could get to the AFC Championship in pre-season.

28.  Buffalo Bills:  I say keep Trent Edwards in there.  At least they are moving the ball with him. 

29.  Atlanta Falcons:  People said the Falcons' receivers dropped balls because Vick wasn't accurate.  I watched Joey Harrington put the balls right in their numbers and they still dropped them.  Hands like feet, fellas.

30.  NY Jets:  KEL-LEN, KEL-LEN, KEL-LEN

31.  Miami Dolphins:  You know what?  Cleo Lemon actually didn't look too bad at times.
 
32.  St. Louis Rams:  Gus Ferrotte.  My dear lord it's Gus Ferotte.  Is that what Rams fans say every Sunday now?
