I'm gonna go:

1. New England: I really wanted to put the Cowboys here but once you compare the teams they are neck and neck to me. What sets them apart in Time/Coaching/Mistakes. The reason I put New England #1 is because the coaching staff and players have been together longer and they really haven't made any mistakes.

2. Dallas Cowboys: First off, I hate the Cowboys(Ok thats out of the way) But this is a very good team and for the first time they are playing like it. They have all phases of the game covered with the exception of maybe special teams. I will say this though this team has made a few mistakes in the games they have played but somehow its works in their favor. I cant wait for this matchup. I think this is where you might see one of these WRs make alittle noise about getting the ball, even though i think they both are gonna be great in this game.

3. Indy Colts: I put the Colts #3 because well i really dont know but they seem to be alittle more beatable than the other 2 teams. Add in the injury to Marvin(dont know how serious it is) and some injuries to the defense and it makes them more vulnerable than the other teams.

4. Green Bay Packers: I think just about everyone will have the Pack 4th. I dont think its because they are worst/luckier than the other teams, but that the other team are just more complete. I also dont think this team should be 4-0 as they should have lost to Minny last week. I can guarantee you if Bill or Marty were coaching the Vikes, the Pack would have had a looooonnnng day and alot of injuries.

Tell me yours. :unsure:

Why would the Packers have had a lot of injuries, if Bill or Marty were coaching the Vikings? :unsure:

Are you saying these coaches ask their players to purposely injure the other team?
 
1. New England Patriots: They're playing well on all sides of the ball.

2. Indianapolis: They're the defending champs but I don't like Harrison and Addai dinged up right now.

3. Dallas Cowboys: Passing game is great but still suspect in the running game. Defense has played better recently but is it an abberation because of the lack of quality opponents lately.

4. Green Bay: Could be better than Dallas because of their defense.

 
IMO, this all is fun to talk about but really means nothing at this point.

That being said, I heard that the Pats are the first team in 80 years to win their first 4 games by 20+ points each.

Well, nothing really means anything till you get to the playoffs.I'd be very surprised if ANY of the current undefeated teams didn't make the playoffs. I think it would take some injuries to knock them off that course.
 
Colts are #1 in a slight margin IMO because NE running game will be iffy when they play ANYONE with a front seven, the Colts weakest front seven they have faced is better than the strongest front seven NE has faced

but you can't argue with the point spreads NE has been putting up

Colts

NE

Dallas

Green Bay

 
To early to tell, but Dallas hasn't played anyone yet, but Dallas has a real soft schedule, but so does GB.

Anyway my rankings:

NE

IND

GB

DAL

yes, and Brady had the highest completion % ever for his first 100, 101, 102, and 103 passes of the year. Those stats like this thread are pointless.Atleast this thread is fun to discuss.PatsColtsBoysPack
 
Pats

Colts

Cowboys

Packers

The Pats or Colts would beat the Cowboys, and any of those teams would dismantle the Packers. The Packers have squeaked by weak competition while the other 3 have dominated.

 
Surprised to see how many have the Pats #1, seeing they've yet ot play an NFL defense...

COLTS - though the dings will catch up eventually, but right now they have played the toughest teams out of the 4.

PATS - facing a real defense WILL slow them down, but the question is, will it slow them down enough?

BOYS - Romo IMO is playing over his head right now, he's good, but not this good.

PACK - one dimensional teams eventually lose, it's a given.

IMO maybe the Pats offense will be slowed, but they've proven they're plenty capable of winning with defense if needed. Remember they've been playing W/O arguably their 2 best defenders Harrison and Seymour, who they'll be getting back soon. Their schedule does get tougher but I don't think we've seen their full potential yet. It's possible they could finish the year with the #1 offense and a top 5 defense.

Pats opponents have averaged 27 ppg allowed. Colts opponents have averaged 23.5 ppg allowed. Not exactly stellar either way.

I don't understand this way of thinking.......he is that good because he's the one who's doing it.Is he going to average 340 a game and 4 td's, of course not. He didn't against Miami this year.When Willie Parker goes for 140 and a TD, it would be easy for me to say he's Good but not this good because of course he doesn't average 140 yards per game.He's doing what you're seeing, he's very good and will continue to play well. He's not above having a bad game and just like anyone else, if there's too much pressure on him he will make mistakes.Hopefully you don't dislike him and you'll be able to just sit back and enjoy what you are watching because what he's doing isn't the "norm." He having fun out there, he's playing at an extremely high level and he's going to do so the entire year. He won't throw for 350 all season and he won't against the Patriots but he will play well.

Oh believe me, it's no knock on Romo. At least it's not intended that way. But right now he seems to have this aura about him that elevates the Cowboys to be better than they really are, I'm not sure how to phrase it. I just don't think the Romo we see right now will be the Romo we see 2-3 weeks from now.
 
Long time Packer fan here. I attended my first game back in the 60's. I love their success this year, but have no illusions. This is an incomplete team. They might have a puncher's chance against the top three, but to advance multiple rounds in a playoff format one needs more than a puncher's chance. Still, compared to the last two years, I am enjoying the ride. BTW I'm not convinced that they are better than the Steelers or the Seahawks.

On the other hand they are unbelievably young. They have 28 players rostered who are rookies or in their second year. They would seem to have room for growth this season. I don't believe the same can be said of some of the others, though I do note that the Patriots defense looks to get an infusion here soon with the return of Harris and Seymore.

 
New England

Indy/Dallas

Green Bay

And not to knock on Green Bay, but I think a few 3-1 teams are better. The only game that I was really impressed with was going into Giant stadium and bullying the G-Men. You can't rely solely on the passing game anymore. They NEED a run game. A team with a competent pass rush(read:Chicago next week) might give them problems. I'm very interested to see how they do next week.

 
1. Pats - They've looked awesome in all four games. Knock the competition all you want, but Brady's 78% completion rate and 13-2 TD/INT ratio is nuts no matter who they've beaten. Moss is a TD waiting to happen on every play with Brady as his QB. They've been able to run the ball in 2nd halves when the other team knew they were running the ball...always an impressive feat. When facing teams that like to run (e.g. San Diego), they can go big at ILB with AD and Seau or "small" with AD and Bruschi for teams that like to pass (e.g. Cincy). The DL has been stout and Seymour has yet to return. The LBs look great and the CBs are an excellent group with the ever-improving Hobbs, the showing-no-rust-and-playing-for-a-big-contract Samuel as starters and the underrated Gay as nickel. The finally-healthy (for now) Eugene Wilson is a fast tackling machine at FS and James Sanders has filled in well for Rodney Harrison at SS, who returns this week. Granted the Bengals were banged up, but the Pats just won by 21 on the road without RG Neal, RB Maroney, DE Seymour, SS Harrison and OLB Colvin (for most of the game).

2. Colts - Like the Pats, they've been able to jump out to leads and run the ball when the other team knew it was coming. I have to tip my cap to that. Manning shed the soft label about two years ago and cannot be intimidated with body shots anymore; The guy is a pitt bull and will keep his team in every game. As long as SS Bob Sanders is on the field, their D is not to be trivialized.

3. Dallas - Romo looks like the real deal, but we'll see if four games of game film don't start exposing flaws. Granted Romo isn't Grossman, but Grossman looked like Superman after 4 games last year and we all know how that turned out. Romo-to-Owens rivals Brady-to-Moss as the league's deadliest combo.

4. Green Bay - The D looks decent and Favre looks like he's not just throwing it up there, but I just can't trust the one-dimensional offense. Every year there's a team that blasts out of the gate to a fast start, then falters at midseason. Green Bay is lined up to be this team.

 
Anyone not listing NE 1st just isn't being rational.

NE

Dal

Indy

GB

I really like the way Dal has been playing. Never would have thought I would place a NFC team this high.

I think the reason everyone is so high on the Patriots offense is because of how VERSATILE it is. It starts with the offensive line and the Pats have arguably a top 3 unit right now. If a team thinks they'll be able to go after Brady, Jeff Davidson will have no problems running the ball. If they commit to the run (which dear God I feel bad for any D-coordinator who attempts that), they will get absolutely BURNED. A real defense will not slow them down, per-se; a real defense is going to have to prove that they CAN stop them.
 
1. The Dallas Cowboys---Tony Romo is the most exciting qb in the league.

2. Green Bay -- Brett Favre used to be the most exciting qb in the league. Still cool to watch.

3. New England -- but they are cheaters you know.

4. Indy -- I can't stand their head coach so they come in last.

 
It's funny but I think the Packers have the best chance beating the Pats... albeit not the rest of the league on a regular basis.
