NFL top 32

do you agree??


1. Pittsburgh Steelers: How many years did Charlie Batch(notes) add to his career with last Sunday’s performance?

2. Atlanta Falcons: Was last Sunday in the Superdome a Coming of Age moment – and if so, will the Falcons forever be indebted to Garrett Hartley(notes)?

3. New Orleans Saints: When former Saints linebacker Scott Fujita(notes) told me (for GQ’s NFL Kickoff package) that Hartley was a “fat punk kicker,” did he copyright the phrase for T-shirt-printing purposes?

4. New York Jets: When Braylon Edwards(notes) expressed his “appreciation that this team still rides with me” Monday night, how many nearby teammates went looking for a cab?

5. Chicago Bears: Think a healthy Brian Urlacher(notes) makes a slight difference?

6. Green Bay Packers: When you have more penalties than points, is it fair to conclude that, unlike Hank Williams Jr., you weren’t ready for some football?

7. New England Patriots: Feeling a bit defensive, guys – or perhaps not defensive enough?

8. Baltimore Ravens: After Sunday’s explosion, is it fair to say that this team’s “Q” rating is waaaaay up?

9. Cincinnati Bengals: Could right tackle Dennis Roland(notes) have been any more deliberate as Carson Palmer(notes) tried unsuccessfully to spike the ball at the Carolina 5-yard line in the final seconds of the first half last Sunday?

10. Indianapolis Colts: How refreshing is it that Peyton Manning(notes), when backed up on his own half-yard line, simply drops back to pass, rather than running a panicky quarterback sneak or quick-dive into the line?

11. Tennessee Titans: Is Kenny Britt(notes) ready to step up and become a legitimate No. 1 receiver?

12. Houston Texans: Was Sunday’s game a hiccup, or are they doing what the Texans always do?

13. Philadelphia Eagles: Does Donovan McNabb(notes) think he’s more special than Santa Claus?

14. Kansas City Chiefs: Is Shaun Smith a ball-hawk?

15. Miami Dolphins: If Jason Allen(notes) had been the New York City cop who pulled over Braylon Edwards last week, would the Jets’ receiver have gotten away?

16. Dallas Cowboys: Yo, Dez Bryant(notes) – wouldn’t it have been easier to carry the damn shoulder pads?

17. Minnesota Vikings: When Brad Childress encouraged veteran players to win now because many of them won’t be back next year, did any of them have the guts to respond, “Same goes for you, Chilly”?

18. Seattle Seahawks: Is that rod in Leon Washington’s(notes) right leg borrowed from Steve Austin’s?

19. San Diego Chargers: Yo, Marcus McNeill(notes) – how would you feel about playing some special teams?


Josh McDaniels
(Ron Chenoy/US Presswire)
20. Denver Broncos: Should Josh McDaniels just start calling the area inside the opponent’s 20 the the “Dead Zone”?

21. Washington Redskins: Did Clinton Portis(notes) get tripped by the Turf Monster in St. Louis – and is would-be sleeper Ryan Torain(notes) finally about to wake up?

22. New York Giants: Remember when Tom Coughlin’s teams were mentally tough?

23. Detroit Lions: Why am I so convinced that this 0-3 team is so close to taking a major step forward?

24. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Did Raheem Morris really send out the punting team on fourth-and-3 from the Steelers’ 36 with a 32-point deficit in the fourth quarter last Sunday?

25. Arizona Cardinals: What was more misdirected – Sebastian Janikowski’s(notes) last-second field-goal attempt Sunday, or Ken Whisenhunt’s Mark Dantonio heart-attack reference after the game?

26. St. Louis Rams: Whose groin was more sore after Sunday’s game – Steven Jackson’s (literally) or Mike Shanahan’s (figuratively)?

27. San Francisco 49ers: If Mike Singletary had taken dismissed offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye’s advice to have Yahoo! “come call the plays,” is there any doubt there’d be a sharp reduction in 5-yard passes on third-and-long?

28. Jacksonville Jaguars: Will Captain Checkdown get a chance to win one more game at Ralph Wilson Stadium after all?

29. Oakland Raiders: Did they serve seabass on the flight home from Arizona – and if so, how many players choked on it?

30. Cleveland Browns: If giving up touchdown passes is wrong, does Eric Mangini want to be Wright?

31. Carolina Panthers: Can another Steve Smith explosion be far behind?

32. Buffalo Bills: Hey, Donte Whitner(notes), why wouldn’t the rest of the NFL be laughing at you?

I fckn hate Pittsburg!!!!! I have to agree with you though on their ranking. The only change I would make is Chicago should be higher on the list. At least in 3rd place in my OP. I think the addition of Martz as offensize cord. was a fckn genius Idea. There offenise is prob one of the better in the NFL which is a huge change from last year.....

I love Pittsburgh and I'm glad they are playing the way they are. With that said, I NEVER saw them at best 3-1 without Ben. I figured on 2-2 at best. I'm impressed and that offensive display this past weekend was quite amazing. I don't think Cincy is a top ten though. And right now without Bush, I don't see N.O. as a number 3. I'd say also say that Houston is a top ten, they didn't play well Sunday, but they are finally a good team. I believe they are the real deal this year, Foster is impressive and Schaub is finally clicking.

I hate Pittsburgh too. They seem to be the Titan's top rival now. But, they totally destroyed us a couple of weeks ago. So, I have to agree that they are the team to beat right now.

Bears will be forntunate to make it to the playoffs.

San Digo will probably find some sort of rythm but I'm a Philly fan this year, fuck Norv Turner and AJ Smith. We have so much talent but our GM and coach can't manage their way out of a paper bag.

Vick baby!

It's hard not to root for Vick. Out of all the crimes committed by NFL players, they dumped on him and Burress so bad when really their crimes were pretty minor. So, Vick killed some dogs. How many NFL players have literally gotten away with murder?

In the NFL, I see it as who makes the playoffs as a chance to win it all. Thats when its do or die, and players and coaches have to do their best.

I can think of 2 lol

Lot of Steeler haters in here, i hate you guys haha.. Born and raised Steeler fan here.. I'm impressed with the way they are winning games and will only improve greatly once Ben comes back (which is hard to imagine) I am also surprised they are sitting at 3-0.. I was seeing 2-1 at this point with a loss to Balt on Sunday for 2-2.. Great thing is, they lose Sunday they are still tied for first in the Division.. If they stay healthy all year, they will be a very difficult team to beat..

I like the eagles in the NFC, I wouldn't mind a Keystone state Superbowl, that would be a nasty game.

As a Mountaineer die hard fan, I would HATE to see Pittsburgh in the Superbowl with the Eagles, I've never enjoyed a victory over the Vick family and I know my luck wouldn't change

Yes I dislike Pitt very much lol. I love the Steelers, Pens and Pirates, although since I was a kid and my aunt lived in Boston, I've always been a huge fan of the Red Sox and Celtics. I hate the Pats though
