NFL Power Rankings Week 6

It's like a city bus! Two jump off and two jump on! Or like a variety show: You never know whose going to appear on JMO:JTF! Let's take a look at this week:

1)New England (6-0) Last week: 1

If there was ever any doubt (just for the record, there wasn't any here on JMO:JTF) there can be none now. Or will the Pats-haters say that Dallas isn't really a good team, just like SD wasn't either? Now we can all hold our breath for two weeks when the Pats travel to Indy (please note, the only tough team the Pats got to face at home was SD.)

2)Indianapolis (5-0) Last week: 2

Bye week. Still undefeated. 'Nough said.

3)Green Bay (5-1) Last week: 5

As I look around and see the teams you've beaten (Wash, Philly, NYG) You've actually taken out more big guns than the team that follows you on this weeks edition. Congrats on cracking the top three. By the way: Favre, I've always liked you (except when you were playing against Dallas for the NFC Championship) so feel free to continue making me look like a buffoon for suggesting that you retire (but don't give away any more games like you did against the Bears!)

4)Dallas (5-1) Last week: 3

You didn't look terrible against the Patriots. You showed some good D and some great heart. But you did allow the most points that NE has scored all year and as we look back over your victories (NYG for example, Buff) you do tend to give up a lot of points. Keep winning and cut back on that and you'll regain your previous post in the top three.

5)Pittsburgh (4-1) Last week: 4

Bye

6)Jacksonville (4-1) Last week: 6

Second week in a row at number 6. Do something, will you? I know you can only play your schedule, but show some power. Blow a team out!

7)New York Giants (4-2) Last week: 7

You defeated a team you should have defeated. This is a lesson on how to stay exactly where you were last week. Next time try making it look easy, or try beating a more difficult team.

8)Baltimore (4-2) last week: off

Welcome to the list. You've made it on here, not because of who you've beaten (as you've won over teams you should've lost to and lost to teams you should've beaten) but rather how you've done it. Many of your scores more resemble a baseball game than football. 9-7 over SF (The Red Sox/Indians games 1 & 2 had more points than this one!) and you held St. Louis to just 3!

9)Tampa Bay (4-2) Last week: Off

Here is another team that has found a way to sneak in the back door that's been left open by the absence of such teams as San Diego, Chicago, and Cincinnati. Big wins over TN, CAR, and a tough loss to INDY. You do not have the easiest schedule in the world, that's for sure!

10)Washington (3-2) Last week: 9

Yeah, you lost, but you hung tough against a team that's pretty high in the power rankings. It wasn't enough to drop you from the list entirely.

Notable removals: Tennessee: One word: youlosttoTampaBay! That's why your off the list and they're on it. Cardinals: We all knew it wouldn't last. A loss to Carolina knocks you from the top ten.

Honorable Mentions: San Diego: Another step in the right direction. But still not enough to regain a ranking.

Go Red Sox! 1 down, 2 to go! Take'em one at a time! Remember, you're in Fenway! You don't have to do it on the road like in 2004!

Oh yea, and one more thing: Good for you Torre for not taking what would've been the worst deal in baseball! A pay cut and incentives only if you take the team all the way?! Well, when you leave and A-Rod, Posada, Rivera, and Petit do the same, I'd like to see how the next manager fares! (more like fails!) Hold your head hi Joe, I'm with you!
