Power Rankings week 4

We're 1 game away from the quarter pole but since I work Tuesday's I'll have to do the power rankings a day early.

32. Cleveland Browns 0-4, they are the worst in the league gave the Ravens a fight on Thursday.  Weeden isn't the answer and they have no weapons on the outside.  Trent Richardson is a nice piece but things need to change.

31. Oakland Raiders 1-3, their win took a miracle comeback.  They just seem overmatched wish I watched them more to have something to add.

30. New Orleans Saints 0-4, they lost their coach, their idenity, they've lost it all.  Sad part is they've lost to some bad teams and haven't even hit the hard part of the schedule yet.  You know the worst thing about this bounty thing is, the Saints D was never even that great, it took miracles for them to beat the Vikings in the NFC champ game a few years ago.

29. Kansas City Chiefs 1-3, only reason they aren't lower is that they beat the Saints.  Buffalo dismantled them 3 weeks ago.  I like the tools on O, but these top picks on D continue to underperform.

28. Jacksonville Jaguars 1-3, they stink, it's bad.

27. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1-3, watched them yesterday, they have a bad secondary, and up until yesterday had a good run d but the Skins torched them.  Freeman is good at times but woeful at others.

26. Tennessee Titans 1-3, Locker got hurt yesterday, their line play is bad.  I can't name a guy on their D, gonna be a long year for the Titans.

25. Carolina Panthers 1-3, they've beaten the Saints, lost to a banged up Giants on a short week, lost to Atlanta yesterday.  I like Cam but I don't think he's surrounded with the weapons and talent to win.  Don't be surprised if they make a run though.

24. Maimi Dolphins 1-3, played the Jets and Cardinals to tough losses but I'm not buying them.  Tannehill is playing better than I expected but they still don't have the depth.

23. Indianapolis Colts 1-2, beat the Vikings week 2, but it was announced today they've lost their coach for at least 6 weeks ask the Saints how not having your head coach goes.  They are also lacking talent at a lot of positions.

22. Buffolo Bills 2-2, when their good their real good but their bad they blow ass.  Their defensive front is bad even though they have 90 some million of guranteed money on it.  Spiller is the real deal and they need to realize it.

21. Washington Redskins 2-2, lost to the Rams and Bengals, beat Saints and Bucs, not a tough schedule so far.  The secondary is terrible and needs help.  Offense is moving the right direction.

20. Seattle Seahawks 2-2, should be 1-3 but aren't I'm not buying the Hawks don't like Carrol or Russell Wilson.  Lost yesterday to the Rams.

19. Detroit Lions 1-3, they should be in the 20's I know but with all the talent they have they should be better than this record and I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt and thiking they'll still finish with 9 wins or so.

18. St. Louis Rams 2-2, never underestimate Jeff Fischer.

17. New York Jets 2-2, excuse me for not acting like the world is ending b/c the Jets are underperfomaning.  I'm tired of hearing they have no weapons, they have weapons just a shit head coach who doesn't know how to use them and I'm not talking about Tebow..

Top half of the league is

16. Pittsburgh Steelers 1-2, don't count the Steelers out that's all I'm gonna say.  They'll get this on track.

15. Denver Broncos 2-2, their gonna be up and down get used to it.  One week Manning, Decker, Thomas, and Stokely on gonna be on the same page the next week they won't.  Too much stock is giving in week to week performances let's get to week 10 and see where this team is.

14. Dallas Cowboys 2-1, shut up

13. Chicago Bears 2-1, whoever wins tonight will be 13 loser will be 14.

12. San Diego Chargers 3-1, who knows with this team they don't trust Ryan Mathews.  They are off to a good start which is odd for them but things could change, good for them they have Chiefs and Raiders in division.

11. New York Giants 2-2, Giants schedule so far prime time Wed, reg Sun, prime time Thurs, prime time Sun.  can these guys get a normal fucking schedule.  You can't overbuy or oversell the Giants whatever you do they'll make you look dumb.

10.  Philadelphia Eagles 3-1, first team to be 3-1 that turns the ball over so much.  This team still has a shit ton of talent they could win this whole thing or take a huge dump.

9. New England Patriots 2-2, took a contorversal call for them to have 2 losses.  Also took a terrible meltdown by the Bills to get 2nd win.  Defense is better than they have been in the past, and they have a running game, who knew.

8. Green Bay Packers 2-2, should be 3-1 BUT unless this offensive line doesn't start playing better they are doomed.  Also, can someone on this defense make some plays.  Really wish I watched them more but haven't yet.

7. Cincinnati Bengals 3-1, beat the Skins, Browns and Jags not an impressive resume, but Jay Gruden is a great o-cordinator.  This team has talent just a tough division.

6. Baltimore Ravens 3-1, do you trust Flacco?  Why do they abandon Ray Rice?  Why does a team so many thinks is one of the best in the league have so many questions?  Don't mention the old D.

5. Arizona Cardinals 4-0, beat the Eagles and Patriots, but struggled to beat the Dolphins at home.  They have serious questions at QB, but the D is awesome.

4. San Francisco 49ers 3-1, should be higher but the team they lost too isn't listed yet.  They are built for the long haul and if I do this list again I can only imagine them going up.

3. Minnesota Vikings 3-1, beat the 9ers and Lions, but lost to the Colts, huh?  They run, play d, don't turn it over, have a huge home field advantage.  Not sure they keep this up but last week they out 49ered the 49ers.

2. Atlanta Falcons 4-0, had Carolina give the game away yesterday.  I said it last week they are front runners.  That said though their 4-0 just need to win 6 more games to get in the dance.

1. Houston Texans 4-0, they can do everything, and frankly anyone who says different it wrong.  The difference between Houston and San Francisco is this, the Texans have real talent at all positions, and a back up RB who could start for 30 teams in Ben Tate.  I love the Texans have for a few years and this team is legit, especially being in a terrible division.

Chase thought of the week.  Tell me Denny Hamlin will come out of Dover 8th I'd be happy so no bitching about yesterday.  I do have a problem though with Brad Keseloski, has he ever dominated a race?  Does he always seem to use strategy or fuel mileage to win races?  That's what I thought I told Jessica yesterday he doesn't scare me and we need to keep Jimmie in our sights not Brad, she thought I was crazy but that's what I think.  That's it for this week, baseball playoffs start next weekend so Orange October has officially started.  Follow me on twitter @derekbredeson or check out the older posts.
