The 2009 NFL season is now officially 3 weeks old. The Cowboys pulled off a come from behind win tonight edging the suddenly offensively inept Carolina Panthers 21-7 (What is wrong wih Jake Dellhome?)
To kick this blog off lets get some opinions out of you guys. We'll start with ranking the teams in the NFL, and then talk about overrated and underrated players. First the power rankings. If I had to rank the top ten teams in the NFL, my list would look a little like this:
1. New York Giants (Plaxico who? The G-men's passing attack hasn't missed a beat.)
2. Baltimore Ravens (This team can score now...very scary.)
3. Indianapolis Colts (New coaches, no more Marvin, injuries on defense...same old Peyton.)
4. Pittsburgh Steelers (1-2 start but its tough to look at this team as anything but defending Super Bowl Champions.)
5. New Orleans Saints (Name a defense that Drew Brees and company couldn't score on.)
6. Minnesota Vikings (Is The Ol' Gunslinger really the missing link?)
7. New York Jets (Gotta love the way Rexy has got these guys playing. Is Sanchez the real deal?)
8. San Diego Chargers (Has LT hit a wall? Rivers and company find ways to get it done even without LT on the field.)
9. Denver Broncos (When is the last time the Denver D gave up less than 20 points in one half, let alone 3 games)
10. Cincinnati Bengals (last time they were in a top ten, Carson Palmer was hurt and the article was ranking teams based on the number of criminal offenders on their roster.)
Now this is only week 3 so obviously this list is going to change. I'd like to hear who you would put on that list. Also, who do you guys think that the most overrated and underrated players in the NFL are...Tony Romo anyone?

You know I'm going to jock my boys as they should get to 5-0 with games against KC & OAK. However, this is the cake walk in their schedule. Big game in Week 6 with New Orleans. That will be there next test. I can't say enough about the young WRs silencing the critics. I get so tired of hearing "How will they replace Plaxico?". They are just spreading the ball around a little more now and it has been successful so far. However, I'll hold judgment until they face bigger opponents.
ReplyDeleteWhat's up Griz?
ReplyDeleteAs you can see I believe that the G-men are the best team in the league. They should have no problem getting past the Chiefs or the Raiders. You're right though, New Orleans will be a big test. Drew Brees is the most underrated player in the league right now. Granted, he gets plenty of pub, but it's Farve and Brady who get all the shine. Brees can throw six TD's in a game and he will get 30 seconds on ESPN; Farve or Brady so much as step foot on the field and its like "breaking fucking news, Brett Farve threw a pass in Minnesota today." Maskes me sick. That game winner that he heaved up with his eyes closed on Sunday is being turned into the equivalent of "the catch"...Garbage. Thanks for reading brotha, I really appeciate it!
In respect to old number 4, I must correct my poor spelling...It's Favre, not Farve...there I'm good...
