I asked what team has convinced you, and you give me the three top teams in the NFL, in your opinion.

So, in reality, I guess either those three teams must have convinced you (that they are very good) or nobody has.

Which is it?

The top 3 teams in particular order:

Pats
Colts
Lions

The Pats are for real. Really, it should be #1 Pats, #3 Colts. The Pats are just playing on another level right now. No one can even touch them. The #2 should be reserved as a buffer between them and the rest of the league.

Pats #1?

Colts march on, beating quality teams with relative ease and the Pats continue to get the ESPN located in MA, press pump by running up the score on mediocre teams in the worst division in American pro football.

Hold your rankings until after Nov 4th.

I expect the Colts to beat the Pats by 10 - 14 points on the 4th, even with the Pats cheating.

jags could whup Colts this week...

Patriots 52 - Redskins 7...........

New England had 35 first downs........yikes
Lead Washington in time of posession by 15 minutes.......gulp
More than double the offensive yardage.....holy cow

This against the Washington defense that was ranked 5th in the NFL....


Can I get a Witness...........

Case closed

If you watched the game you know that the Patriots cheated again. The announcers even mentioned it during the game.

For almost the entire first half the Patriots had Foxboro stadium maintenance make sure that the Redskins communication between their people in the press box; i.e., spotters etc and the coaches on the field was turned off.

The teams that the Patriots have beaten this year, all eight of them, have beaten only 3 teams with winning records and one of those is the Lions. Its easy to run up scores against mediocrity, especially when you cheat.

See you guys next week in the RCA dome where the Patriots won't be able to tape the opponents plays and cut off their communication.

Nice guys do finish first and its the Colts that are the nice guys, not the Patriots.

amen.

It's really amazing that so many people aren't waiting until after these two teams play to declare the Patriots #1.

Next game should provide a huge wakeup call for the bandwagon.

ESPN is located in Bristol, Connecticut.

We don't have to agree on our choices for #1, but why wait? ESPN does their "power poll" each week. That isn't to say that things can't change from week to week. Part of the fun is debating who is #1 during the season. Everyone knows who the #1 is at the end of the season.

For me, the Pats are #1 as of right now. But it's a long season and that can change. Whoever wins next week will be #1 as far as I'm concerned, but again, that doesn't mean that they'll end the season as #1. It just means that, IMO, they're the best team season-to-date.
