4. Cincinnati Bengals (3-0) (4) – Yep. My entire top 4 had a bye week. I planned this.
5. San Francisco 49ers (2-2) (7) – The defense is for real, but the offense is just as two-dimensional as ever.
6. Indianapolis Colts (2-2) (8) – And four games in, Andrew Luck is playing like he’s gonna win his first MVP award.
7. San Diego Chargers (3-1) (9) – Remember, that one loss was by one point.
8. New England Patriots (2-2) (5) – Sorry, but all this talk about the end of an era because they lost a game is just way over-hyped.

13. Philadelphia Eagles (3-1) (12) – Not many times would look good with that many injuries on the o-line.
14. Carolina Panthers (2-2) (10) – Have looked depressingly over-matched two weeks in a row.

T-17. New York Giants (2-2) (20) – Creeping up on the pack.
19. Atlanta Falcons (2-2) (11) – No matter how good they are at home, you can’t win in the NFL if you can’t ever win a road game.
20. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-2) (15) – Incredibly un-Steelers like.
T-21. Miami Dolphins (2-2) (22) – Beating up on the Raiders isn’t going to impress anyone.
T-21. Buffalo Bills (2-2) (18) – Really? Kyle Orton?
23. Kansas City Chiefs (2-2) (25) – Able to compete in a crowded AFC after all?

25. Minnesota Vikings (2-2) (29) – NFL ready Teddy indeed.
26. New York Jets (1-3) (23) – Nothing against the Jets, but its gonna be fun watching this melodramatic meltdown already in progress.

T-28. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-3) (31) – I’m sorry, but it was just plain dumb to bring in 35 year old Josh McCown to start over Mike Glennon, who, by the way, has better numbers for his career.
30. Tennessee Titans (1-3) (27) – Really? Charlie Whitehurst? Were Kyle Orton and Josh McCown tied up doing other things?
31. Oakland Raiders (0-4) (30) – Bon Voyage, Dennis Allen.
32. Jacksonville Jaguars (0-4) (32) – Has there ever been a season where two teams went winless? Jax and Oakland don’t play each other this year so. . .
