NFL Rankings Week 3

2 weeks down, 16 to go. Here are the always serious and accurate Fifth-Down rankings going into week 3.

Our Coach is getting fired countdown: Dolphins

This team is a disaster. I have enjoyed having Mike McDaniel in my football life if nothing else for his press conferences. But it is obviously even he has given up after he dropped this quote after the game this week. “To win games you have to win the game, not lose the game, honestly. And that is how you lose the game.” I mean it’s like he isn’t even trying which I think at this point is accurate.

Rookie QB the least of their worries: Titans

Cam Ward has been far from awesome. But they also aren’t good at running with the ball or catching it or playing defense.

Not good but occasionally fun: Browns, Saints, Giants, Panthers, Bears and Jets

I have low expectations for all of these teams but I think that we are going to see some weeks where they get blown out and some occasions were they are competitive. But none of them are especially good.

Have issues that probably won’t get worked out: Raiders, Vikings, Cowboys and Steelers

Raiders are still gonna Raider. The Vikings don’t have a quarterback after all, the Cowboys can’t play defense and surprisingly the Steelers can’t play defense either.

Have issues that might get worked out: Patriots, Jaguars, Bengals and Seahawks

The Patriots are young but might get better. The Jags are competitive but have a Trevor Lawrence turnover problem. The Bengals can’t block and don’t have a quarterback. The Seahawks have a quarterback but it is Sam Darnold.

Have issues but will probably get them worked out: Chiefs and Texans

Both these teams are 0-2 so I can’t rank them any higher. But they have both lost to two good teams and both losses were close. I know the history of teams that started 0-2 is not good when it comes to making the playoffs but I am not giving up on these two teams yet. I think they still make the playoffs and win their divisions.

Might be good but I’m still skeptical: Cardinals, Colts, Falcons and 49ers

These 4 teams have all looked good at times but I need to see more before I am a believer. Plus it is only a matter of time before the rest of the 49ers get hurt.

Are good but not sure how good yet: Lions, Broncos, and Commanders

The Lions got blown out and then blew out a really bad team. The Broncos looked good on D in week 1 and Offense in week 2. One could assume they will probably put the two together at some point. The Commanders seem kind of shaky and Jayden Daniels is already banged up. Something seems a little off.

Real good…so far: Rams, Bucs and Chargers

All 3 teams have done great but…the Rams are a Matt Stafford injury away from being bad. The Bucs are running out of offensive lineman. And the Chargers are well…the Chargers so you figure they are going to screw this up at some point.

Super Bowl Contender until the games matter: Ravens

The Ravens are good, real good. Except when the games matter.

Actually Super Bowl Contenders: Packers and Bills

These two teams seem like the best teams in their conferences. But it is week 3, so who knows.

Still the false start champs: Eagles

Eagles are still real good and they are getting a “head start” on the new season. They aren’t afraid to cross the line to get a victory. They will push their way to victory even if it means breaking a few rules. I’m not making excuses for my Chiefs. The Eagles won the game. They are still the champs until they get beat.
