NFL Week 4 Political Rankings

That was a crazy week:

• The Jets won.
• The Giants won.
• The only undefeated team left in the NFL is the ARIZONA CARDINALS.
• Houston lost the largest NFL shutout since New England shitcanned the Chargers 45-0 last year.
• We have already had as many shutouts in four weeks (three) as in all of last season.

Well, let's get to it.

There are no undefeated teams left in the AFC.

Jacksonville is the only 0-4 team.

There are SEVEN 3-1 teams.  Every team in the AFC North except Pittsburgh, every team in the AFC West except Kansas City, and Buffalo.

So the AFC Political Rankings (my view of, just for this week, where they might be heading):

1)  Baltimore

Probably the highest marquee-value player you could put there, and kind of the second fiddle to Mahomes the last couple years.

2) LA Chargers

Stadium effect.

3) Cleveland

A BIT LESS SOLD ON:

Las Vegas:  Could've really made a statement if they were awake tonight.

Buffalo:  I just can't see the NFL putting the Super Bowl through Buffalo.  That's almost as if they would put it through Green Bay!

Cincinnati:  Vikings, Steelers, and Jaguars -- and you lost to Captain Fatfuck, Leader Of Men.  Welcome To Reality next week, you get the Packers.

Denver:  Remember YOUR LIST from last week?  Welcome To Reality.

DUD OF THE WEEK:

THE AFC SOUTH IN GENERAL is Nominee #1:  Four wins in the entire division in four weeks -- and two of them were within the division!

HOUSTON is Nominee #2 and would probably win most weeks, but I have something else in mind.  Largest shutout since last season and zero plausible hope.

BILL BELICHICK is Nominee #3:  Even if he HAD hit that field goal, you were going to get it rammed down your throat so hard, it's not even funny!  Your decision with 55 seconds left just left the question as to whether you lost 19-17, or 22-20.

DENVER AND LAS VEGAS are joint Nominee #4:  You could well have made a better defense of your undefeated record in both cases.

PITTSBURGH AND CAPTAIN FATFUCK, LEADER OF MEN:  Retire, Rapistburger.  NOW!

And, of course, JACKSONVILLE, who probably should be getting their own section here, as I think Chris Jericho and the Inner Circle could do better on the NFL field than that sad sack of amateurs.

I'll have both conference's winners in one shot at the end.

NFC:

UNDEFEATED, BUT NOT SOLD ON:  Arizona

The Rams win is their only quality win of any kind (Vikings, Jaguars, Titans), and there has been some talk the Cards could be there at the end...  But I cannot see how that team's fanbase can be the basis of a Super Bowl winning franchise.  (Or they'd have done it when Arizona played Pittsburgh, as one example.)  They will be a tough out, and may well need some skids greased to get eliminated.

Detroit is the only 0-4 team.  The two 0-4 teams do not play this season.

1) Tampa Bay

Well, that puts it back up there.  The problem for my original thought, especially after it did seem like they storylined one Hell of a game on Sunday night, is that I can't see them booking New England from 1-3 through THAT AFC...

2) Dallas

For the first time, it really appears as if Jerreh Jones has a clear path, if not for Tom Brady.  There have been SOME discipline/drug problems with the team, but there still does seem to be enough there, and the ratings boon for the NFL (especially among young punk gang-banger kids who'll watch Snoop/Dre/Eminem and the rest of the schlock, shit, and puke the NFL will put out there for halftime of LVI) will be there.

3) Green Bay

And there still is The Old Reliable Job-Boys.

NOT SOLD ON:

Carolina:  Jets, Texans, and the Saints laying an egg.

LA Rams:  I mean, yeah, but you blow it at home against Arizona...

DUD OF THE WEEK:

MINNESOTA:  Seriously?  7 points against CLEVELAND?

ATLANTA:  How many more of these are you gonna blow before Matt Ryan wants out and playing for someone who might amount to something before he retires???

DETROIT:  Time to put this franchise to sleep, once and for all???

BUT WE HAVE OUR WINNERS FOR BOTH CONFERENCES THIS WEEK FOR DUD OF THE WEEK:

THE TENNESSEE TITANS AND THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

Seriously!

There had to be real question, after last week, as to how many COLLEGE TEAMS could actually beat the Jets and Giants this year.

And you both had to go out there and screw it up by letting two AAF teams win their games this week.

Really...

REALLY...

New Orleans, you make the defending NFC runners-up look like your bitch so bad in Week 1, the Packers are 3-1 now and STILL have given up more points than they've scored!

Tennessee, you have one of the best rushing attacks in football.  WHY??????????????
