Top 10:
1. 
New Orleans Saints (5-0)
Wow. I was actually thinking that the Giants were going to beat the Saints in a close one. However, the Saints absolutely wrecked them. I never would've saw that coming. Brees is phenomonal, the running game has been its best in a long time, the offensive line has done a great job, the receivers produce and the defence has improved vastly so far. Unless they fall for the #1 Home Field Advantage Curse (which I hope is broken this year), they should be headed for Miami.
2. 
Indianapolis Colts (5-0)
Normally, I wouldn't have taken the Colts down because of their bye. If the Saints/Giants game was close, they'd still be on top. Hopefully Manning has the best season of his careers and butts heads with the Saints come Febuary.
3. 
Minnesota Vikings (6-0)
"OMG FAVRE IS BACK OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG FAVRE FAVRE FAVRE FAVRE OMG OMG FAVRE BRETT FAVRE OMG OMG OMG BRADY OMG FAVRE FAVRE FAVRE OMG OMG FAVRE OMG," any analyst who likes Favre.
4. 
Denver Broncos (6-0)
I hate these guys so much. I hate them. However, they are an absolutely great team. Josh McDaniels and Mike Nolan have changed this defence so much, Orton has actually done a great job, the running game is dynamic and they're going everything well. Right now, I am projecting three people here to win awards after the season: Offensive Rookie of the Year, Monero, Defensive Player of the Year: Elvis Dumervil, Coach of the Year: Josh McDaniels.
5. 
New York Giants (5-1)
I was so glad that the Bills game was a 4:00 game. I have to watch them every week except when they (happily) blackout the game. I was grateful to actually watch two football teams battle it out, except it was lopsided. I'm not worried about the Giants just yet though. Arizona may be in for a world of hurt next week.
6.
New England Patriots (4-2)
LOLfest, ROFLCOPTER, Funfest, Bloodening..... there are so many ways to describe Brady's and the Patriots comedic win over the Titans. All of the emberassments will be posted for the Titans spot. I'll just say I had no problem with New England running up the score. Their offence hasn't found its rhythm until now, and it may have had been a better idea to keep them out there (and make history).
7. 
Atlanta Falcons (4-1)
I have actually been quite surprised with the Falcons so far. I thought they were overrated because their defence was so horrible, but the defence has actually improved this year. Matt Ryan is helping them win games and is a future superstar. Whats even more shocking is that Ryan has lost one game at home in his career: Week 12 against the Denver Broncos last year in a 24-20 game.
8. 
Cincinnati Bengals (4-2)
I'm not thinking of them negatively just yet. It was off a very emotional victory against the Ravens, in a less meaningful, non-divisional game against an inferior opponent. I'm not surprised that they lost. However, Pass Rusher Anwaan Otom is gone for the season, and Defensive Tackle Domata Peko may be out for a few weeks. They were injury rattled last year on defence (and still finished 12th), so they can still make a postseason performance. They also perform best when doubted on.
9. 
Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2)
They haven't beaten anyone great yet and lost against their two best opponents (Chicago and Cinncinati), but they're still winning games.
I'll use this space to complain about Norv Turner. He really pisses me off. We really could've won against Denver. Honestly, on a 3rd and goal, he takes Sproles and runs him up the middle, and (obviously) fails. LT was having a great game: either give the ball to him, dump it off to Sproles, or pass to Gates (yahoo was being retarded on me and failed to start Rivers and Jackson on my team. FAIL!). Then, later in the game, when Sheffler scored his touchdown, he clearly had only one foot inb-bounds, yet he didn't challenge it and was in his own little world, standing there motionless. What a dumbass. We also got screwed on the Challenge he did make, when Stokley scored his TD, Cromartie touched him on the 1-yard line. The Broncos should've gotten the ball on the 1-yard line, yet the officials who were horrible all night and making phantom plays all game long, screwed the Chargers over.
However, that doesn't change the fact that Turner is to dumb to be an NFL head coach. "Well, I motivate them when they're almost out of it." If we had a good head coach who knew how important the offensive line was, didn't get rid of Lorenzo Neal, knew dept on the defensive line is important and actually signed free agents not named Drew Bennett, then we wouldn't have to be motivated by you, because we'd lock up a playoff spot by then anyways.
10. 
Chicago Bears (3-2)
They aren't exactly 10th place material, but with the Ravens and Jets collapsing, the Eagles losing to the Raiders, and Rodgers not having an offensive line, I settled for 10th place for the Bears.
Bottom 10:
23. 
Carolina Panthers (2-3)
They're going no where after two straight victories against the Deadskins and the Bucs in which they almost lost both. Delhomme has thrown 4 TDs and 10 INTs so far this year, so he still sucks. Panthers won't do well this year, and even if they do beat the Bills this week, they're not moving out of the bottom 10.
24. 
Buffalo Bills (2-4)
Doesn't seem right for them to be this high, right? With Dick "Pull" Jauron coaching and now Ryan Fitzpatrick's spagetti arm throwing the ball, this team is bad, even coming off a boring win against a Sanchez-lead Jets. If Sanchez didn't debacle his team so much and throw five interceptions, the Jets would've won with Jones having a monster game.
25. 
Detriot Lions (1-5)
Despite what the scoreboard says, it wasn't exactly the greatest win for the Packers. They never lose to the Lions at home, Rodgers still doesn't have an offensive line (5 sacks today, 25 on the season), and Calvin Johnson was down for the Lions and so was Stafford. Also, Culpepper went down and Drew Stanton went in unprepared. The Packer made quite a few mental mistakes as well during the game. Thats why they're not in the top 10.
26. 
Oakland Raiders (2-4)
They won and they're ranked higher than they should be (since all of the other teams suck so much), so I'll rant about different teams here that aren't in the top or bottom 10.
The Ravens and Jets have been in free-fall mode, but for different reasons. The Ravens defence has seen its best days, they can't stop the pass. Their defence, really, is average at best, even with future Hall of Famers Ray Lewis and Ed Reed. Sanchez threw five picks against the Bills, which is really sad, and hasn't played well at all. Actually, outside of the Titans game, he really hasn't done anything, really.
The Cardinals are really starting to improve. If Warner can stay healthy, they get the opposing QB pressured, and establish a run game, this team may take the NFC West back. Their main competition is the 49ers, and the Seahawks, whom they just raped. Just like what Emmitt Smith said a couple of years ago, the NFC West has got to be the weakest ........CONFERENCES...... in the NFC. Those weren't the exact words, but he called the NFC West one of the weakest conferences in the NFC.
I'll never buy into the Cowboys all season. They're a team with a great offence and horrible defence. Enough said. Plus, saying Romo isn't clutch is an understatement, and Wade Phillips is the coach.
27. 
Cleveland Browns (1-5)
They suck, and since they're so many bad teams this year, they're higher than they'd normally be. Eric Vagina is a horrible coach, and the Browns will never get anywhere until he's fired, and even then, its still unlikely, given he's made some horrible trades lately. Treating Kellen Winslow and Braylon Edwards like they're nothing and shipping them off doesn't really help these abysmal QBs. If your trying to develop a good QB and you trade away all of their targets, they're going to do worse. Nice philosiphy, Eric Vagina.
28. 
Kansas City Chiefs (1-5)
YAY!!! We've lost three times by double digits, one of the single digit losses was against the Raiders, and sure our QB can't throw deep and gets sacked every other play, but we beat the powerhouse Deadskins!!!! YAY!!!!
29. 
Washington Deadskins (2-4)
They are an embarrasment. They've given four teams their first win of the season, their two wins have come against opponents with a combined 0-12 record (by 5 points), and now Zorny (which sounds like Horny), has been stripped of calling offensive plays.
Emmitt's Analysis: "Deadskins not too good team. There is no way they should allow the Chiefs to be them the way that they did. Campbell bench for Collins in centre game. They score 6 point against Chiefs, who score 13 points and 13 higher than....than...then 6, so losted. Them neededed to play gooder for bottom half of game. They probably won't make playoff. If they want ...do.... do....to do wells, they has to be patience."
30. 
Tampa Bay Buccanneers (0-6)
My list of the worst owners in the NFL: William Clay Ford, Al Davis, Daniel Snyder and Malcolm Glazer. This team absolutely sucks. Its fascinating that they're not the worst team of the year so far.
31. 
St. Louis Hams (0-6)
The Hams almost won, but only because the Jaguars made so many costly mistakes. They were still dominated in that game. They're still a joke. Don't think anything positive about them, except that Steven Jackson is sick and so are their jerseys.
32. 
Tennessee Titans (0-6)
Some LOLworthy notes from their game:
1. They got absolutely debacled in the snow. They're the first team since I started following football to give up 59 points in a game. I THINK that there was a 58 point performance by the Browns a couple of years before I started to watch football, but I don't know. Whats worse is that the Patriots scored no forth quarter points because for some reason they got benched. If I was the Patriots, I'd let my offence go into rhythm some more (which they hadn't all season) and put up 60+ and 73+ (for the record). Screw if its running up the score, its fun.
2. Brady threw five touchdown passes in the Second Quarter, a new NFL record. He threw six in the game altogether, three going to Moss (on my FF team), Welker and Faulk (also on my team). Now, if yahoo didn't **** me over and let me have played Faulk, Rivers, Jackson, Shockey and Boone, I may have gotten my first win of the season.
3. Read this: Vince Young attempted 2 passes that were both incomplete, yet he lead the Titans in yardage. In fact, in the nfl.com gamecentre, he is the only one listed for passing (if the stats aren't fully looked at).
4. How did this happen, you might ask? Well, Collins completed 2 passes. Yeah..... two. How did he stil throw for less yards than Young? He threw for......get this...... -7 yards. WOW!!!!! Someone likes to throw backwards to players who keep running backwards. I didn't see Nate Washington's whopping -22 yard play, but its still emberrasing not to have had made up for it.
5. Their secondary was absolutely brutal. Apparently, the Titans believe that if you don't cover the likes of Moss, Welker etc, who are catching passes from Brady, in the snow, you'll have fascinating results. And boy, did they succeed.
6. In a nutshell, here was their strategy: throw inaccurate passes backwards, don't complete any passes forwards, don't cover Moss and Welker, and hope that the snow magically gives the Patriots the swine flu.
They're horrible. As Emmitt Smith or Keyshawn Johnson would've probably said about their performance. "They play not to wel... good against Pats."
