3. New Orleans Saints- Starting to separate themselves from the rest of the NFC South

4. Baltimore Ravens- Maybe the defense isn't too old...

5. New England Patriots- The defense isn't fixed, and Mayo being injured won't help either.

6. Houston Texans- Let's see how good they are with Andre Johnson injured for a few weeks.

7. San Diego Chargers- Too close to losing to an inferior Dolphins team and the shakiest team in the top tier of the league.

8. Tennessee Titans- The real Music City Miracle is how good they are without Chris Johnson doing squat.

9. Buffalo Bills- The offense was limited against a very good defense. Can they rebound and learn from this loss?

10. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Such an ugly team to watch, but they win.

11. San Francisco 49ers- I'm a believer... at least in the NFC West.

12. New York Giants- It's good to see a Manning playing well again.

13. Pittsburgh Steelers- The defense is aging like the Ravens, just not nearly as gracefully.

14. Dallas Cowboys- They are good, but they just can't seem to put it all together. Especially in the 4th quarter.

15. Washington Redskins- Starting to establish a running game, and that means the Shanahan plan is coming together.

16. Oakland Raiders- Penalties, penalties, penalties, penalties, penalties, penalties, penalties, penalties, penalties, penalties.

17. New York Jets- Speaking of old, bloated things that started in Baltimore...

18. Atlanta Falcons- At some point, they have to get their groove back... or will they?

19. Chicago Bears- Congrats to Devin Hester, the 2nd greatest special teams player of all time. If only the rest of your team actually could accomplish something...

20. Cincinnati Bengals- I told you they weren't that bad!

21. Philadelphia Eagles- Maybe a shootout with the Bills is the answer to their problems.

22. Arizona Cardinals- "The receiver gave himself up" my @$$.

23. Cleveland Browns- You have Peyton Hillis, why are you throwing 61 times?!?!?!?

24. Carolina Panthers- They're creeping back to respectability.

25. Jacksonville Jaguars- Blaine Gabbert can be really good when they have some actual receivers.

26. Denver Broncos- Dare I say that losing by 20+ to the Packers at home is respectable...?

27. Seattle Seahawks- Almost pulled off the comeback against the Falcons, so there are some encouraging signs of life.

28. Indianapolis Colts- Starting to figure out life after Manning and almost (should have) beat a very good Bucs team on the road.

29. Kansas City Chiefs- Beating the Vikings is like kicking a puppy with leukemia... it's easy, but does it really prove anything?

30. Miami Dolphins- Their long, national nightmare is finally over... in 12 games.

31. St. Louis Rams- Injuries, injuries, injuries...

32. Minnesota Vikings- They come from the land of ice and snow with the midnight sun and the football blows

Don't agree with your assessment of the Chargers. The Patriots beat the dolphins by 14 and the Texans scratched out a 10 pt victory just as the Chargers did. I'd say the Dolphins have had the toughest schedule to open the season. The Chargers outscored them 26-9 to close the game out after an early dolphins score. The Texans are ranked number 5 in your poll and eked out a 10 pt victory also.

Are you really trying to make an argument that says that San Diego > Houston?

Because no.

When the Raiders beat Texas this weekend we can revisit this thread. And yes I am making that argument. The Raiders will shut down their offense and score over 30 on them.

Likewise for when the Chargers lose to Denver on the road.

Phillip Rivers is 8-2 against them lifetime. One of those losses was the Ed Hochuli debacle. I like their chances, Denver is in the suck for luck lotto. Any given Sunday though, point taken.

As a Sabres fan, how could I resist?!

Looks like Denver found their QB. If Tebow would have been in the whole game, Denver would have blown out San Diego. Good to see the Raiders hold on for Al Davis, nice way to send him off to the big luxury suite in the sky.

The good teams and the bad teams are really starting to separate themselves.

1. Packers - They are unstoppable.
2. Lions - I think it's safe to say now that they have established themselves as a legitimately great team.
3. Patriots - Their defense still needs work, but they incredibly established a run game against the Jets, which could prove deadly.
4. Saints - Barely squeezing out a win against the Panthers is actually more impressive than it sounds.
5. Bills - Despite the Eagles mistakes, they still won against a team with a lot of talent.
6. 49ers - The only word that can describe what they did to the Buccaneers is MAN HANDLING
7. Ravens - Nothing to say here. They didn't play.
8. Chargers - They are BARELY winning against bad teams. But, a win's a win.
9. Raiders - Could the loss of Al Davis be a good thing for Oakland's season?
10. Texans - The Raiders managed to beat them, but that doesn't mean the Texans won't bounce back.
11. Redskins - Let's see how they fare against the Panthers.
12. Giants - Despite that loss to the lolSeahawks, the Giants have been performing fairly decent lately.
13. Steelers - That was a good bounce back from a so-far disappointing season.
14. Falcons - They've had a brutal schedule so far, and I have faith that they are capable of bouncing back.
15. Jets - Playoff hopes looking veeeeeeeery bleak.
16. Titans - They just got pounded by the Steelers. Can they recover from the embarrassment?
17. Cowboys - This bye week is very good for Dallas. They can hopefully get all their mistakes out of their mind and play well this weekend.
18. Buccaneers - One of the most underwhelming teams this season. Except for...
19. Eagles - How can this happen?
20. Bears - It's only going to go downhill from here.
21. Bengals - This team is extremely young, but doing extremely well, all things considered.
22. Panthers - That 1-4 record is deceiving. Every game they've played has been decided by 7 or less.
23. Seahawks - Carroll is doing well with this team. I never would've predicted a 2-3 record at this point.
24. Browns - Their only wins are against the Colts and Dolphins. Big deal.
25. Chiefs - Despite starting the season out as bad as you possibly can, they've bounced back and won two in a row.
26. Broncos - USE TEBOW
27. Vikings - Look what happens when you use Peterson correctly!
28. Cardinals - Kevin Kolb...you're...not very good.
29. Rams - After the bye week, I'm looking to see Bradford play like I know he can.
30. Dolphins - Henne is gone, but frankly I don't even think that's much of a problem.
31. Jaguars - This is a hopeless franchise.
32. Colts - So close. But being close doesn't count in the National Football League.

Houston plays Baltimore this week away, I'm thinking they won't bounce back. Also i predict a 6-5 finish by them which puts them out of the playoffs.
