NFL Top Ten

A run down of the NFL's best teams after week 6:

1) NE Patriots- It's so obvious, it's scary. Even against a team with a decent defense like Dallas, the Patriots scored at will. Tom Brady has an uncanny ability to look like he's about to get clobbered and suddenly throw pass to the open receiver. The defense is a wall. And they cheat!
2) Indianapolis Colts- This team loses parts and keeps rolling; the sign of a true champion. While they are not as talented as NE, they are as cofindent and as well-coached. That goes a very long way.
3)Pittsburgh Steelers- Another confident team that can have parts fall off and not miss a beat. Mike Tomlin has done a great job of maintaining their momentum and once they get everyone healthy, they may be able to slide a little under the radar and hammer NE and Indy.
4)Dallas Cowboys- Although they lost became ugly, keep in mind that they had a second half lead on the mighty Patriots. They are definetly the most talented and confident of the NFC teams. If TO can become a little more consistent, he can return to being a force.
5)Jax Jaguars- Don't look now but their hard knock defense, David Garrard, and the human pinball Maurice Jones-Drew are just a game back of Indy. We all know that they have the blueprint for beating them. Now, can they combine a season where they both rise up for the big games and avoid let downs against teams they should beat.
6) Green Bay- They've kinda of snuck up on a few teams, but it is yet to be seen if this can be sustained. Their defense is stout, but Favre is starting to sling it like an idiot again.
7)NY Giants- I put the Giants in this spot over other 4-2 teams becuase they have won their last four and they sacked Philly 800 times. They really don't have a big win to hang their hats on.
8) B-more- The defense is still stout.
9)Tampa Bay- The defense and the offense have both been solid. While their losses to Seattle and Indy would indicate that they are not very good, they have done a great job of winning the games they are supposed to win.
10) Carolina- Why did they get Vinny. BTW, when Vinny broke into the league with Tampa I was 12.
