You are delusional. They are clearly a top five team. When they when the Superbowl this year, I hope you look back and consider how misguided you were in your ratings.

“This guy is delusional. The Browns beat NE soundly. The Jets beat the Browns. Oh yeah, The Jets beat NE too. NE is good, but from a ranking standpoint, Jets beat em handily.”

Hmmm, that was a long time ago and the game was in NY. The Pats were starting a bunch of rookies on defense and playing a different type of offense. The Patriots have won road games in Baltimore, San Diego, and Pittsburgh. But it really doesn’t matter about these lists right now. If the Patriots beat Indy, Green Bay, and the Jets (all home games), this discussion will be moot and we will know that they will win the division and get the bye. That’s all that matters.

Hilarious! Especially considering that they beat the #14 team despite their QB playing for the first time in 3 weeks and coming off an injury that only affected his abililty to throw the ball.

And in the meantime, this team has greatly improved since week 1 with rookie LeGarrette Blount emerging as a powerhouse on the ground the last 3 games.

This Buc team is the youngest in the league and unlike the veteran laden teams, instead of getting worse throughout the year (because vets tend to breakdown physically), this team will continue to improve as they adjust to the speed of the game, gain experience, learn techniques, and learn the playbooks. This #18 Bucs team will be far better than the one that started the season (they already are) and will continue to improve.

The Jets should count their lucky stars that they’re not 5-4 right now. Their offense just isn’t that good. The Pats are inconsistent. The Falcons have not beat anyone convincingly all season long (except for Arizona). They’ve won games, but it’s hard to say they’ve been the better team in a lot of their wins.

I guess you can make arguments for any team. But I can’t wait to see the Packers-Falcons game in 2 weeks. It’ll prove to be a big power-changer in the NFC>

To have the Jets -who barely eeked a wins two weeks in a row against such powerhouses as the Cleveland Browns – ranked higher than New England is demeaning to your reputation as a credible (gulp) football writer.”

This guy is delusional. The Browns beat NE soundly. The Jets beat the Browns. Oh yeah, The Jets beat NE too. NE is good, but from a ranking standpoint, Jets beat em handily.

Teams being lucky????? Good teams find a way to win . Tell me a team that’s won a super bowl without getting lucky a few times during that season

This should be the line for the Falcons. In at least four of their games they got incredibly lucky right at the end to win. Roddy White’s OPI not being called is just one example.

Looks like you believe in the Raiders too…they have lost to tenn,cardinals, and san fran…and barely beat the rams and chargers…plus lost to the texans…so you are basing your rankings on the fact they beat the broncos (#26), seahawks (#20), and chiefs (#15) the last 3 weeks…after losing to san fran (#24)…The Bucs last four games…Rams (#21), Cardinals (#28), Atl (#1), Car (#)…only lost to the #1 team…barely.

My point is both teams seem to be beating below 500 teams, yet you have Oakland in the top 10 and you will only believe the Bucs are good when they beat a good team and won’t put them any higher…Everyone talks about beating the teams you are suppose to beat…well Oakland hasn’t done that…they lost to teams they should’ve beat. The Bucs are beating teams nobody said they should beat and nearly beating the best in the league…even if I wasn’t a bucs fan I would argue your logic is terrible in this case.

Hence the constant ripping on the bucs and the constant hopeful urging of the Cowboys and Vikings.

NOTE: The Cowboys and Vikings SUCK!

You do know that Atl barely beat san fran, got beat by pit, got stomped by philly, and barely beat cincy…and barely beat the bucs….YET you “believe” they are the #1 team and will only believe the bucs are higher than #18 when they beat someone you deam worthy. This makes no sense to me.

The Steelers were injury plagued…and the Patriots were feeling extreme angst at their thrashing at the hands of my Brownies. And it wasnt just a lucky thrashing either. This a week after an equally surprising and thorough defeat of the Saints.

Yes, the Browns are what they are. A damn fine football team just coming into their own.

You, on the other hand, are a moron.

To have the Jets -who barely eeked a wins two weeks in a row against such powerhouses as the Cleveland Browns – ranked higher than New England is demeaning to your reputation as a credible (gulp) football writer.
———————————-

Patriots had one good game. they are still overrated. Brady watched from the sideline SDs kicker to see if he goes to over time, you were beat by the Browns and jets and needed two punts in over time to beat the Ravens at HOME.

You are ahead of the Steelers, that should be good enough for now.

I think the Packers and the Falcons are too high. Both are suspect. Philly should be higher.

Florio, I apprehend you for the churlish knave of a bucket carrier you are. Only a child would be so childish, and since you’re a stubble beard, there can be only one reason for your stick-in-the-eye journalistic methods: provoke more people, in this case Bucs fans, to register so they can come on and hurl brown matter in your direction. You have succeeded. I can see the ad execs at NBC patting your coifed little head now. Here is a free bit of marketing advice. If the Bucs make the playoffs, shave your head. Just think of the ratings!

The browns team that the jets squeaked by this past Sunday beat the crap out of the pats by 20 points and it wasn’t that close. Also, the Jets beat the Pats by 2 touchdowns in a game that wasn’t that close either.

You’re an idiot.

As a Falcons fan it’s nice to see them at #1, but it makes me nervous… Especially going into St Louis where the Rams have been pretty good at home, whereas the Falcons have just been okay on the road…. We’ll see.

@richm2256 When putting down the Jets for only squeaking by the Browns it helps to remember a few facts:
1 – They’ve played some pretty tough teams like the Falcons, Bucs, and Ravens to close games
2 – They beat the Saints
3 – They beat the PATRIOTS WHO YOU’RE CLAIMING SHOULD BE HIGHER THAN THE JETS…. Not just a fluke win but a beatdown!

A list that has the Patriots at less than Number One after a thorough beating of the worldwide favorite from last week, is a list you can use for toilet paper.

To have the Jets -who barely eeked a wins two weeks in a row against such powerhouses as the Cleveland Browns – ranked higher than New England is demeaning to your reputation as a credible (gulp) football writer.

You do realize that the Patriots lost to the Browns right?
