Another NFL week is in the books and this one was especially fun since I got to go to the Mizzou game followed by the Chiefs game. For those of you who have never been to a Chiefs game, you really need to experience it. Tailgating and atmosphere pre game is top notch and it is the loudest stadium on the league and the Chiefs fans will fight you if you say otherwise. Anyway, I watched a little less football overall but I saw enough to give you my vastly important and definitely accurate rankings. Let’s dive in.

Barely didn’t lose: Panthers

They remain the only team not to win a game but not even they can lose on a bye so they have that going for them.

Terrible, just terrible: Giants, Raiders, Commanders, Packers

Giants are almost 2-0 the last two weeks but they have only scored 23 points in those games and it really has more to do with the other teams sucking then them playing well. The Commanders lost to the Giants which is terrible. The Raiders didn’t have their QB but the Bears were without Fields and they didn’t just lose they got demolished by a team who’s QB last starting game was a loss to Colorado School of the mines. I had high hopes for the Packers because everyone was saying they would be terrible. I hate it when I am wrong and the masses on social media are right but that is what has happened in Green Bay. Stupid Packers.

Showed a pulse but still terrible: Patriots, Bears, Broncos

These 3 teams won but I am confident they all still suck and will show that next week.

Hustle award: Cardinals

I keep wanting to move them to the terrible category but these pesky birds just keep showing up every week and competing with good teams. But they are 1-6. Once it becomes impossible for them to have a winning record, I’ll probably move them to the terrible category.

Suck…but I’m not sure why: Chargers

I know the Chargers coach is an idiot but still, they have a great roster and a good quarterback. Staley is a defensive coach and they have a talented defense but they can’t seem to stop anyone. Kellen Moore has not helped them score more points especially when it matters. I would assume they will fire Staley but they are the Chargers so who knows.

Someone is going to mess around and win 9 games and a divisional title: Jaguars, Colts, Texans, Titans, Saints, Bucs and Falcons

Jaguars have almost worked themselves out of this category so they will probably lose this week to the Steelers. Everyone else is okay but not good. Congrats to the Jags for being over half way to the 9 win total and the Falcons for almost being halfway there.

Where did that come from?: Vikings

The Vikings are 1-4 with Justin Jefferson. They are 2-0 without him. Sometimes things just don’t make sense. But the Vikings showed they can be a top team when they want to be. Now can they do that consistently?

Missing some parts: Rams, Jets, Cowboys, Seahawks

These teams are going to win some games and are competitive and will be in the playoff conversation for a while. The Cowboys will probably get in. But they all have flaws. Cowboys QB is limited, Jets QB is real limited, and the Rams just don’t have enough on defense. Seahawks are a solid team but don’t have enough to play with the top teams.

What is going on!!!: Bills

The Bills seemed like the best team in the league a few weeks ago when they smoked the Dolphins. Since then they should have lost to the Giants and did lose to the Patriots. I am not sure why or how they are 4-3 and 1-2 in their division. But I think they might be in trouble.

I hate this division but they are pretty good: Ravens, Bengals, Steelers and Elves

Ravens are legit but I am sure they will get hurt eventually. The Bengals started slow and have some tough games coming up that will either make them slip out of playoff contention or make them a legit contender. The Steelers and Elves have such great defenses and just enough offense to make them dangerous. If the Ravens can stay healthy they are the cream of the crop but that is a big if.

Humble Pie: Lions and Dolphins

Right after I complimented them last week both these teams laid an egg. The Lions got absolutely demolished by the Ravens and the Dolphins only scored one offensive td this week. They both have weak schedules ahead of them and they aren’t going anywhere but they still have something to prove that the belong in the top level of teams.

I don’t know if anyone is going to beat them…oh wait: 49ers

Every year we crown some team as the best in the league that no one can beat. This year it was the 49ers. But they have dropped 2 in a row. Whoops. Brock Purdy is a pretty good quarterback but hasn’t seemed to be able to handle the pressure and come from behind. They are still a really good team and I think they are in the same conversation as the Eagles and Chiefs but you can’t drop 2 in a row in be in the top group on Jeff Campbell’s rankings.

The best of the best: Eagles and Chiefs

I have said most of the year that the Eagles and 49ers are the top two teams. But this week the 9ers are out and the Eagles remain. The Chiefs join them after holding the Chargers to only 17 points including no points in the second half. The offense looked very good most of the game and just need to clean up the mistakes. Also, welcome back Mecole Hardman!
