Bosco's 2009 NFL Week 4 Rankings

  1. Baltimore Ravens (3-0) By far the best team right now, Joe Flacco gives this team something they have really missed since, hmmm forever... a Quaterback!
  2. New Orleans Saints (3-0) Not only are they unbeaten, they are 2-0 on the road in hostile places like Philly & Buffalo.
  3. Indianapolis Colts (3-0) Peyton Manning looks to be on a mission this year, & changes in the coaching staff haven't caused an issue so far.
  4. New York Giants (3-0) Schedule hasn't been tough, but going into Big D and pulling out a big division win and being 2-0 in the NFC East is a great start.
  5. New York Jets (3-0) Nobody thought they would be 3-0 before the year started when you saw their schedule as (@ Texans, Pats & Titans) WoW!
  6. Minnesota Vikings (3-0) Brett Favre is already +1 for the Vikings, meaning he has won them 1 game they wouldn't have if he was sitting on his couch.
  7. Cincinatti Bengals (2-1) Remember if it wasn't for the miracle of the decade against the Broncos they would be 3-0.
  8. Chicago Bears (2-1) I don't think anyone in Chicago is crying about not having a QB anymore, do you?
  9. San Francisco (2-1) Well here i go again, if it wasn't for Brett Favre the Niners and Vikings would swap spots in my rankings. Atleast they are back to respecability.
  10. New England Patriots (2-1) Although it took a fumbled kick-off for them to even have a winning record, totally shutting down the Falcons this week shows how good they are.
  11. Atlanta Falcons (2-1) Losing at the Pats is definitely not something to get to worked up about, plus Matty "ICE" looks to be the real deal.
  12. Philadelphia Eagles (2-1) Even without McNabb another QB has carried this offense, and no im not talking about Vick or Garcia, Kevin Kolb showing he could be the FUTURE!
  13. Dallas Cowboys (2-1) If Tony Romo didn't single handedly lose the game against the Giants then they would be way up this list, but a true test in Denver this week will show us who they really are.
  14. Green Bay Packers (2-1) They had to squeeze out a win against the Bears, then get pumbled by Cincy, but nothing better than playing the Rams to straighten out your problems, lets see how they fare in a game against their best player of all time. (Favre)
  15. San Diego Chargers (2-1) A team with a whole bunch of key injuries has still managed to be 2-1 and has a tough game at Pittsburgh this week, lets see who the better banged up team will be?
  16. Denver Broncos (3-0) Undefeated and ranked 16? Well i think their D is definitely for real but their schedule has not been, true test this week vs the Cowboys.
  17. Pittsburgh Steelers (1-2) Troy Polamalu is the Most Valuable Player in the League, hands down! If he's healthy they are 3-0!
  18. Houston Texans (1-2) Looked abissmal against the Jets, then shocked everyone against the Titans, but then looked abissmal against the Jags? Inconsistency kills teams!
  19. Tennessee Titans (0-3) By far the best winless team after 3 games i have ever seen, are sure to get a win this week! We'd hope, although playing a tough road game at the Jags.
  20. Buffalo Bills (1-2) Another team bit by the last second snake, who would have thought 1 fumble in game 1 would changed the complection of this team, because they haven't looked like the team that was playin up until that point since!
  21. Arizona Cardinals (1-2) Not suprising to me, even thought they made the Super Bowl, they were only 9-7 in the regular season, they will be lucky to hit that mark this year.
  22. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-2) Big division win against the Texans, another key game this week vs the Titans, i thought this team would be better then they have played so far.
  23. Detroit Lions (1-2) You may think I'm crazy ranking them here, but they are by far the best BAD team in the league. I love Jim Schwartz, and think he will build them back to an NFC North contender, look what has happend to the Titans Defense since he left too!
  24. Seattle Seahawks (1-2) Tought to see where a team actually stands without their QB and leader, but their defense has not been all that bad.
  25. Kansas City Chiefs (0-3) When you get to this part of the Rankings, you have to use the eye test to see which teams are better then the others, and i just think Kansas City is better than 26-32.
  26. Washington Redskins (1-2) They got really lucky against the Rams, or they would be my #31 team this week, because being the team to break the Lions streak is embarrasing, even if they are on the up and up.
  27. Oakland Raiders (1-2) They are ranked here because they have a win and looked good against San Diego week 1. Zero percent based on the game against the Broncos --> Eww!
  28. Carolina Panthers (0-3) They may turn it around, but not with Delhomme at QB, because as far as i see it, the team (especially WR's) have quit on him! Hell, after last years playoff performance then game 1 vs the Eagles this year i would quit on him too!
  29. Miami Dolphins (0-3) Had injury added to insult by losing Pennington this week, but this does not surprise me, this is direct result of taking advantage of a last place schedule one year and getting abused by a first place schedule the next.
  30. Tampa Bay Bucs (0-3) Although the Giants made them look like a high school team, i think Morris might be a good coach and i like his move to bench the scrubby veteran Leftwich!
  31. St. Louis Rams (0-3) Spags has their D looking better and better, but Kyle Boller just isn't going to cut it for them, 49ers may win by their largest margin in weeks come Sunday.
  32. Cleveland Browns (0-3) Whether its Cleveland writers saying Mangini is the worst hire in 25 years, or Mangini's horrible way to try to win the team over. (Fining guys for using water bottles, practically hazing rookies with bus trips, or the whole QB mess) This team if you can even call it a team is by far the worst in the NFL!

Ravens beat the Chiefs, Browns, and a banged up Chargers team without 2 lineman or LT, yet the Giants played the easy schedule?

Polamalu doesn't play on offense, and thats the Steelers biggest issue. Also, he couldn't have kicked a game winning FG, either.

Lions are a year away. They lack major depth. But Schwartz was a good call. Also, Millen not running the team internally helps tremendously.

Besides the Ravens ranking (or at least reasoning for it) and maybe the Eagles ranking (again, KC sucks and they got housed by the Saints and their "defense"), I'd say pretty good rankings
