D-Ssouth' Blog NFL Rankings Week 4

Aaron Rodgers Interview on Michael Irvin Show - Has Not Spoken to Brett Favre in a Year


There really is no use putting up no more than 12 teams. What use is it to rank teams like Seattle, KC or Carolina (though I am a big time Cam Newton SEC fan).Even some of the 2-1 teams are not very good. Can you say Cleveland?

I am sure that as the weeks ahead begin to shake out the pretenders from the contenders, we will get a clearer idea of the real big dogs for the season.

So, without further talk, here we go, the debut of the 2011 NFL DSouth rankings.

1. Green Bay Packers 3-0 - So many weapons, great innovative coaching and able to win on the road.

2. Detroit Lions 3-0 - Calvin Johnson is a beast and once a team like this, with a QB so young starts to win they believe the can beat any body. In a since, it reminds me of Dallas of the early 90's

3. Thee New Orleans Saints 2-1 - I realize that the Saints D will give up all the yards in the world but will make a crucial interception, a big sack or cause a fumble at the right time to give the ball to the best QB in the NFL with weapons galore.

4. Dallas Cowboys 2-1 - You may not like Tony Romo but I'm sure he takes his $10 million plus and doesn't care what we think. The Boys are rich with talent and can bang with the best of them.

5. New England Patriots 2-1 - Still has the best coach and the best system in the league. Defense needs some serious pass rushing help and line needs to get more physical.

6. Baltimore Ravens 2-1 - Just a nasty D and if Flacco can actually make some plays, this team could be very dangerous.

7. Buffalo Bills 3-0 - I know they are undefeated, and I know  they had a great come from behind win against the Pats but I am still very cautious to rank them too high. If this were a college, the Bills would be like Clemson. You just can't trust them yet despite the big wins.

8. Da Raiders 2-1 - On here simply because of Darren McFadden. Just as nasty as they come out of the SEC. Big test this week against the Pats.

9. Pittsburgh Steelers 2-1 - Their line better get better real fast or they will be carting Big Ben off the field real soon. People talked about the age of the D early but my favorite coach, Mike Tomlin, got these boys playing well.

10. NY Jets 2-1 - Ugly loss against Oaktown and may have been surprised by the physicality of the Raiders. It will not happen again. With that said, if Mr. Pretty Boy Sanchez doesn't find a pair of marbles and get that West coast, I wanna be Tom Brady, behavior out of him, this team will never reach it's potential.

11. NY Giants 2-1 -  A big win against Philly puts them in good position but until Eli can deliver that type of performance week-in and week-out, they will not be the NFC East champs.

12a. Houston Texans 2-1 - A down year in the AFC South due to the Colts issues makes the Texans the favorite and they have proved that they can score, but the D is still suspect.

12b. LSU TIGERS 4-0 - SEC..........nuff said.
