Re: I don\'t feel like waiting until tomorrow night- NFL POWER RANKINGS
Tennessee just seems like an any given Sunday type of team. I wouldn't be shocked to see them beat any of the elite teams or lose to any of the worst.

Re: I don\'t feel like waiting until tomorrow night- NFL POWER RANKINGS
[ QUOTE ]
I remember all the hype on Vince last year and yea he had some good games but there were some games in which he was getting some undue credit. Last year against the Jags he had like 80 yards passing and 5 yards rushing and the Titans didn't score an offensive TD but made a great comeback scoring defensive and special teams td's. That night all the highlights were talking about how Vince willed the team to victory and how he just knows how to win blah blah blah. Point is, I think their luck is about to run out. They play like they did Sunday this week against the Bucs and they don't have a chance at winning. [/ QUOTE ] Finally a man of some intelligence. I can only assume that people that are high on Tenn haven't seen them play.

Admittedly they looked awful on offense yesterday, but the defense looked as good as any in the league.

Henderson is fully healthy now, Stroud is in much better shape as is our Nelson. Our Oline is meshing now as well. Not to mention the Jags actually have a healthy kicker. Hopefully that loss doesn't eat at Jacksonville, because that was not a game they should have lost.

Re: I don\'t feel like waiting until tomorrow night- NFL POWER RANKINGS
[ QUOTE ]
I am still not sold on the Pats. All the teams they have played so far rank at the bottom of the league for defense, so putting up 30+ every game is not that special. Dallas is going to be the first team they play this year that has any semblance of defense. Defensively they have been impressive however. Holding the Bengals to under 20 is very good (though they were one idiotic miscommunication between Chad Johnson and Carson Palmer away from getting at least 20). So just based on strength of schedule I have to put the Colts above the Pats. This weekend will be the test. [/ QUOTE ] Also, here's a stat for you. The Pats opponents have played 18 other games this season. Only twice (interestingly enough the 51-45 shootout between the Bengals and Browns) have their opponents given up more points than they gave up to the Pats, and once did they give up the same amount of points. (Both Pitt and NE scored 34 against the Brownies). So to say their offense isn't anything special is being ignorant of how impressive they've been this year. The Pats offense has outshined their defense, in my opinion, which is hard to do given how well THEY'VE played.

(It's a word, look it up.) The best thing about the Pats defense is how consistent they've been. That's one of the reasons I think there's a chance they could run the table. I understand how difficult it is, and I still only think it's 1/25 or so, but they are so good on offense, and so good on defense, that it would take an off day on BOTH sides of the ball against a team that doesn't suck, in order to lose a game. Sure, it will happen in all likelyhood, but this is a very very good team.

And naturally that off day will come in Miami catapulting the Dolphins to their first win of the year, because the Pats don't win in Miami.

Yes, I know its a cop out but neither team deserves to be called second best right now. [/ QUOTE ] I disagree. From what I've seen and heard, New England is the best team. I think they have a chance to make a serious run at 16-0. They have scored 38, 38, 38, 34, and 34 in their first five games, for what it's worth.
