NFL Week 6 Power Rankings:

Ya, this blog has turned into just NFL Power Rankings, but the cable guy is coming tomorrow to install my internet so soon I'll be able to post more regularly. Anyway, here's how the NFL looks to me right now:

1. Bears (1) - How can anyone argue?
2. Colts (2) - They appear to be pulling the same routine that USC was doing last season, and we all know how that turned out for the Trojans.
3. Bengals (3) - Took the week off and now they get to play Tampa Bay; I'm not sure which is tougher.
4. Broncos (6) - That week 1 loss to St. Louis seems a long way away now.
5. Seahawks (4) - I hope they got their shit together in the bye week after the stinker in Chicago.
6. Chargers (5) - There is no truth to the rumor that Schottenheimer tried killing the clock up 17-13 in the third quarter...is there?
7. Jaguars (7) - The defense has to be feeling a lot better after that performance.
8 Eagles (8) - They have to feel good after that win.
9. Patriots (11) - 3-0 in their division, but all three games were closer than they should have been; on the other hand, thier win over Cincy was a blowout, so go figure.
10. Cowboys (9) - I'm not going to say anything about T.O. here. Oh, dammit...
11. Giants (15) - Looks like the bye week did wonders for their defense.
12. Panthers (14) - 3-0 since the return of Steve Smith.
13. Chiefs (16) - Huard is doing a good job keeping Trent Green's seat warm.
14. Falcons (17) - Can a one-dimensional offense succeed in today's NFL? We'll soon find out.
15. Ravens (12) - Ya, the game was closer than the final score indicated and ya, Denver is a tough place to play, especially in prime time in the snow, but when your QB has as many interceptions (3) as your team has points (three), something needs to be reevaluated.
16. Steelers (10) - I'm starting to think Jerome Bettis may have meant a lot more to this football team than we thought.
17. Vikings (18) - Not sure what they were doing losing 17-3 to the Lions after 3 quarters, but they sure rectified that situation.
18. Rams (20) - Low for a 4-1 team, maybe, but I'm still looking for a win that really proves something.
19. Redskins (13) - 3 weeks ago the buzz in DC was "Mark Brunell is too old to get it gone"; now, it's "Mark Brunell is too old to get it done consistently."
20. Saints (19) - See the Rams.
21. Buccaneers (21) - This team is in deep shit.
22. Dolphins (23) - The Dante Culpepper/Joey Harrington Era is making Miami fans pine for Gus Frerotte.
23. Jets (22) - What is it about 41-0 this season?
24. Browns (25) - A boring team to match their boring name and boring uniforms.
25. 49ers (27) - Well, at least they're the best team in the Bay Area.
26. Bills (24) - That one is gonna sting a little.
27. Cardinals (26) - Is Matt Leinart the real deal, or was that just the Chiefs defense being the Chiefs defense?
28. Texans (30) - A week off is a good week for the Texans.
29. Packers (28) - The trip icy tundra of Lambeau Field has become an easy date on the opposing team's schedule.
30. Titans (31) - Played the Colts tough, but so did the Jets two weeks ago and we all saw what happened to them.
31. Lions (29) - I don't know what is more amazing, that the Lions managed to turn a 17-3 4th quarter lead into a 26-17 defeat, or that the Lions actually HAD a 17-3 lead.
32. Raiders (32) - 0-16 is looking less like a possibility and more like a probability.
