Now three weeks in, we are learning some more about this season. There seems to be a big drop off right after the Bengals at 17 and the rest of the teams are jammed together. The big movers this week are the Colts, Broncos, and Bengals who all moved up five spots. The big loser this week is the Pittsburgh Steelers who fell eight spots after letting a 11 point lead slip away.
1. New York Giants (3-0) –
Pitched a shutout against the Bucs completely dominating them in every aspect of the game.
2. Baltimore Ravens (3-0) –
The offense is looking very dangerous and you can’t forget about their defense.
3. New Orleans Saints (3-0) +1
Pierre Thomas picking up the slack after a lackluster performance form Drew Brees.
4. Indianapolis Colts (3-0) +5
Peyton Manning is looking great and their not missing a beat without Tony Dungy.
5. Minnesota Vikings (3-0) +1
Needed a little Favre magic to get the win over the 49ers.
6. New York Jets (3-0) +1
Another win for those Jets. Big statement game against the Saints this week.
7. Philadelphia Eagles (2-1) +1
Kevin Kolb is impressing in McNabb’s absence. Could McCoy force a timeshare?
8. New England Patriots (2-1) +2
The Pats aren’t quite dead yet. Brady rebounded and they finally decided to run the ball.
9. San Diego Chargers (2-1) +4
Won without L.T. and they will need him if they want to beat the Steelers next week.
10. Atlanta Falcons (2-1) -5
The Falcons looked pedestrian against the Pats but you can’t penalize them that much.
11. Pittsburgh Steelers (1-2) -8
Lost two straight in the final minute. Could be time to worry with the Chargers coming into time.
12. Green Bay Packers (2-1) -1
The o-line looked better but then gain it was the Rams.
13. Chicago Bears (2-1) -1
Cutler looked sharp again but they’re struggling to get Forte rolling.
14. Denver Broncos (3-0) +5
Where has this defense come from? Brandon Marshall had a good game and had a positive attitude after the game.
15. Dallas Cowboys (2-1) –
The Boys get their first win their new digs without Marion Barber.
16. San Francisco 49ers (2-1) -2
A lot of bad news for the 49ers this week. Lost a heart breaker and lost Frank Gore for a coupe weeks.
17. Cincinnati Bengals (2-1) +5
Looking like a legit contender. A lucky bounce away from a 3-0 start.
18. Arizona Cardinals (1-2) -2
Warner looks like his body is starting to give out on him.
19. Buffalo Bills (1-2) -1
T.O. goes catch less and the time bomb appears very close to exploding. Check out what he said to Rodney Harrison on twitter.
20. Tennessee Titans (0-3) -3
Lost another close one. This week become a must win.
21. Seattle Seahawks (1-2) +3
Without Hasselbeck an admirable performance, but not enough.
22. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-2) +4
A nice win for a Jags team that was starving for one.
23. Houston Texans (1-2) -3
The offense is among the best but the defense is killing this team.
24. Miami Dolphins (0-3) -1
It looks like Chad Pennington may have torn his shoulder. The Chad Henne era is set to begin.
25. Carolina Panthers (0-3) –
Another loss for the Panthers. It’s not looking good for them at this point.
26. Detroit Lions (1-2) +4
The first win in 19 games for the Lions. The monkey is finally off their back.
27. Oakland Raiders (1-2) -6
It’s getting very ugly for JaMarcus Russell, if only they had a decent backup.
28. Washington Redskins (1-2) -1
An embarrassing loss to the Lions who were called a “tremendous team” by Jim Zorn.
29. Kansas City Chiefs (0-3) -1
The defense got lit up by Kevin Kolb and the offense missed Dwayne Bowe.
30. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-3) -1
Got shutout and now have replaced Byron Leftwich with an unproven Josh Johnson.
31. St. Louis Rams (0-3) +1
Bulger looks like he’ll be out for awhile so maybe Kyle Boller can provide a spark.
32. Cleveland Browns (0-3) -1
A complete mess and no they have a quarterback carousel.
