1)New England (9-0) Last week: 1
- Definitely the easiest game for them not to lose all season. They had their bye. Seven teams left and seven teams gunning to be the spoiler! I think Pitt or NYG have the best shot, but in the past it's been a team like NYJ or Miami that's ended the run at perfection for other teams. But the question remains, can anyone beat the Patriots?
- I feel as though you've somehow you've slipped under some people's radar. However, with another convincing win over the Giants, I think everyone has to sit up and listen now! Oh, that and you've knocked Indy from the number two spot.
- You're the only team in the NFL that only has one loss and it wasn't to the Patriots. Your loss to Chicago was painful. Mostly because you actually had a chance to win. You, too, could be undefeated which is why I've placed you at number three. That and you shut out MN. Even though they lost their RB for the year in that game, it's still not an easy task. I think there are only two teams that would definitely defeat you, too bad one of them is in the NFC.
- A two game losing streak? That's unheard of in Indy! Truthfully, I don't recall the last time I watched a game and wished that somehow both teams could receive a notch in the loss column! SD scored 1 offensive TD! Adam "I'm not in Foxboro anymore, Toto" Vinitiari missed a "chip shot" 27 yard FG to win! And you can't have a six interception game and stay in the top 3. Harrison is still questionable and Freeny is out for what may be the rest of the season! I'm beginning to think you may end the season with four losses, not just two!
- You had to come from behind to beat the Browns. Just so you know, if any team beneath you had performed somewhat above expectations, you'd have dropped a spot or two even though you won. Lucky for you, nobody did.
- It's difficult to punish a team for doing exactly what was expected of them. You lost to Dallas. It wasn't a blow-out, you gave your fans a little bit of hope, but couldn't overcome Romo and TO. So here you'll stay this week, at number six.
- Well, you evened the score. I believed that you would fall to TN just as you had earlier in the season. I was wrong! Winning convincingly helps you leap-frog over the Titans into 7th on the power rankings.
- The only reason you get to stay at number 8 after being handed your helmet's on a platter with the 13-28 loss to Jacksonville is because there's nobody to put above you! Detroit fell, Washington fell, and SD and TB didn't do quite enough to over come you. However, yer on the block. Do something against Denver or don't expect to see your name on this list next week!
- Someone referred to you today as an "enigma." I could not agree more! You've lost to Arizona and Washington and yet you've beaten Tampa Bay, Chicago, and Denver! If I didn't know it to be true, I'd think those stats were completely reversed! Now stop Kitna-ing around and start being consistent!
- When you topple the champs you make the list. Granted, the only power you showed was the power to run back kicks, the power to challenge the spot of the ball, and the power to be the luckiest team on the field. (However, the two interceptions by Cromartie were amazing!) You're lucky because Adam V. is usually a gimmie and there is absolutely no way that you should have 6 interceptions and still need to rely on a kicker choking so you can win the game! Consider this an "honorable mention." Do something this week to truly earn a spot in the top ten!
Congrats to the Rams on ending their win-less streak! Wouldn't it be poetic if the year someone matches Miami's '72 unbeaten season the Dolphins go without a win completely!?
That would be amazing!
