My apologies for not putting reasoning I have had 0 free time this week. I also spend a lot of time on these usually so it can take a few hours to do. I will try to put it in throughout the week if i can. If not and someone would like reasoning I'd be more than happy to explain.

Out of curiosity... why do you feel the Jets are better than Miami? especially with the center piece of their defense done for the year?

[Imperial1]

um not to be a jerk but the Pats beat the Falcons and i think the Giants would wallop them too

I agree, I think the only reason to put NY below Atlanta is as a result of being a prisoner of the moment.

It is in no way a disrespect towards Atlanta, but a previously unbeaten NY team losing on the road to arguably the best team in the league who is also coming off a bye week shouldn't justify what was a consensus top 5 team being knocked out of the top 5. Not when there isn't anyone more clearly deserving anyway.

Margin of victory is a prisoner of the moment stat...at least in this case since New Orleans is not consistently 20-30 some (or whatever it was) points better than what IMHO is still the 2nd beest team in the conference.

[dolfan2004]

I'd actually put Denver over Minnesota... Minnesota has shown that they are vulnerable late in games (they have over come it thus far), but Denver has given up 10 second half points in 6 games, that is amazing... they run the ball really well, Elvis Dumerville has an awesome shot at Strahan's single season sack record... Champ Bailey and Andre Goodman are in my opinion the best duo of CBs in the league right now... they got great leadership in Dawkins and Holliday... Kyle Orton may not be lighting it up, but if he keeps playing like he is now, they are going to be tough to beat... They benefited from a fluke win (maybe the flukiest ever) but Minnesota had 2 flukish wins themselves... I'd say the top 5 are...

1. Indianapolis
2. New Orleans
3. Denver
4. Minnesota
5. New York Giants

I'd drop Minnesota below NY, but I can understand giving the unbeaten team the nod for now. Minnesota has no...no...no MABBAS! They have no MABBAS!

I do see the Jets falling, but I can't have them falling so drastically I don't see how I can see them being a top 8 or whatever team one week and a 20 something the next.

I think the two teams are very even, but thus far the jets have been a little more impressive, regardless of the fact that miami beat them. They're pretty even and I could see Miami jump ahead of them possibly next week, especially if they steal a win vs the colts.

The falcons have a better record than the patriots and have looked great all year while the patriots have looked amazing and have looked like shit. The falcons have been pretty consistent and have locked great for the most part.

As for the giants, I really don't think they're as good as people think. Just like the eagles they haven't beaten anyone, the one good team they played they got butt raped. I think they're good, but as of now I think the falcons would beat them.

Like I've been saying the whole time, all of the top teams are interchangeable. It all depends on the person. So I can see your point because i could also see Denver ahead.

Even though I am a fan, i can look at the Giants pretty objectively and i still think they are a top 4 team. The game was a 10 point game and the giants were starting to move the ball pretty well until a blown assignment led to a sack, fumble, and TD to turn it into a blowout right before the half.

Either way, i can't really argue it that much because it was really a dreadful game as a whole. We need to get healthy on D and then i think we should be OK.

I'm happy with the Falcons at 5. (They've certainly made a lot of progress in a year and a half.) Hopefully, Michael Turner will begin to turn it on. He's getting into the end zone but he's not breaking the long runs like last year. Also, the loss of Brian Williams at CB scares me. We did not have a lot of depth to begin with and he had probably been our best corner. I would expect Dallas and New Orleans to spead us out 4 and 5 wide and pick on our younger corners. So we'll see where we are in 2 weeks. Personally, just hoping for a split.

Don't worry, I too as a fan have felt the butt raping from the saints this season.

Dallas has too many protection woes to spread out with 4 or 5 wide. I expect a lot of two tight sets, with either witten or bennet staying in-line to block.

I'm not concerned with Dallas on offense. My concern is with Mike Jenkins singled up on Roddy White. Or Terrence Newman singled up on Roddy White.
Hell,Lester Hayes singled up on Roddy White..Actually, if we don't set the tone with defensive pressure from the beginning, this game will be over by the 3rd quarter anyway.
