Apparently baseball is still playing, hockey and basketball is about to start…but who cares because, Football!!! Week 6 is in the books. Here are this week’s rankings.

Probably won’t lose this week: Panthers

They are 0-6 but they can’t lose this week because they are on a bye, right? Right?

What’s worse than terrible?: Patriots, Broncos, Bears, Giants

Patriots lost to a terrible Raiders team who’s QB got hurt. Bears lost to a Vikings team without Justin Jefferson and now their QB is hurt. Broncos defense finally stopped someone but it didn’t matter because they were terrible offensively. My favorite part was when Sean Payton forgot what down it was and called timeout on 4th down so he could punt the ball to the Chiefs before the half and allow the the Chiefs to save their timeouts and go kick a field goal. The first 3 years I lived here all I heard was the Broncos had a great roster and they were just a QB away. Then they got a QB and they said the coach is terrible. We are just a coach away. Then the got Sean Payton and somehow they are worse. Tear it all down, Denver, tear it all down! Giants somehow played better without Daniel Jones but still couldn’t pull off the win against the Bills. They are a disaster.

Hustle Award: Cardinals

The Cardinals are terrible but I just can’t say negative things about them, yet. They played the Rams tough for a while. But it seems every week they get a little worse and lose by a little more.

.500 on paper but terrible in real life: Raiders, Commanders

Raiders play the Bears and the Commanders play the Giants. They are both about to be 4-3. They both absolutely suck. More losses are on the way, just not this week.

First to 9 wins the division: Texans, Colts, Jaguars, Titans, Saints, Falcons, Bucs

2 of the teams are going to win 9 games and win the division. Congrats to the Jags for being more than a 3rd of the way there.

2 win teams that I thought would be good but aren’t: Packers, Vikings

I guess I was wrong about the Packers. Too bad. The Vikings should be good, but they are not. They are worse without Jefferson. They play an angry 49ers team this week. Ouch.

Still have 1 more win than fans: Chargers

The Chargers don’t have a lot of fans but they had one overly excited fan that they showed over and over again during the Cowboys game. I know the Chargers suck but I want to be as excited about anything in life as she is about the Chargers.

Won a close game but still aren’t that good: Cowboys

Prior to this week, the Cowboys had blown people out or got blown out. They won a close game this week. But it was against the Chargers who always find a way to lose.

3 win teams that are a tough out: Rams, Jets, Seahawks

Rams have overperformed so far. They look very solid. They aren’t winning the division or super bowl or anything but they are pretty dang good. The Jets even with Zach Wilson look solid. They aren’t going anywhere. Seahawks aren’t great but they have enough weapons to play competitively with anyone.

ugh…I hate all these teams: Bengals, Steelers, Browns, Ravens

I don’t know who is going to win this division. I do know that it is the most unlikable division in football. The only people who like these teams are their loyal fans most of which are unlikable themselves. In fact, I think deep down they don’t even like themselves. Anyway, at least a couple of these teams are making the playoffs.

Okay…Fine, they are good: Lions, Dolphins

I am not a believer that either team can win it all. But part of being a good team is winning the games you are supposed to win. Both these teams do that week in and week out. Both have tough games this week which will tell us a little more about who they are.

Winning because of defense…just like we all expected: Bills, Chiefs

These two offensive juggernauts put up a whopping 19 and 14 points against two of the worst defenses in the league this past week. Both of these offenses have been up and down all season but their defenses have played admirable. They will figure out the offensive side and when they do…look out.

Gave the Stupid 72 Dolphins a reason to celebrate: Eagles and 49ers

Every year, when the last undefeated team loses, the 72 Dolphins get together and have a celebration. And anyone who knows me well, knows that I absolutely hate it. Look, am I happy when the Raiders lose sure. Did it bring me a little joy to see the Cardinals struggle in baseball this year? Of course. That is because I hate those teams. But in general I am not cheering against others success. But that is exactly what these old farts do. Now they are doing this less and less because a lot of them are dying. But they take so much joy in being the only undefeated team that they cheer against the rest of the teams for all of history. This is so stupid. First of all, The Patriots were 18-0 and they just lost the super bowl but still won one more game than them. Now you could match their 17-0 just during the regular season. You have to win 3 more games to match their stupid undefeated season. And they weren’t some juggernaut that year. They won the super bowl 14-7. I will cheer for the Chiefs over all things but if they played an undefeated team from the NFC in the Super Bowl, I would cheer for that team just to shut up these guys and put this whole “the only perfect team” thing to rest forever. But it won’t be this year because now everyone has a loss. Anyway, the Eagles and 49ers are still the best two teams in the league.

Check out 5 for Friday in a couple of days. It’s a good slate of games.
