I really Question if there is a Top 10 in the NFL.
My other question is what is going to happen when come team RUNS up the score on ""hoodies"" team ? Suppose the colts are up 38-7 on sunday, and with a 4th and two... Peyton comes back in and throws a TD pass to Marvin ?
I agree that the Eagles will give the Cowgirls all they can handle this weekend. One area in which I think you are wrong is when you question team's rankings because of who beat them. Example. The Birds crushed the Lions, a team who has defeated the Bears twice. Yet the Bears beat the Birds. So with that said, Eagles>Lions>Bears>Eagles??? Like someone has said before, it's the top two teams, then a scramble each week between the rest. Hell, one can argue that if the Birds had a half competent punt returner at the time, they would have beaten the now 6-1 Packers. Also, had the refs not pulled that penalty out of obscurity (false start if the QB never touches the snap), the Eagles would have beaten the Bears. Football is a game of inches and what if's. Teams that deserve to win, win. Plain and simple.

Injuries, hot streaks, weather, home field advantage, etc., etc. have a large say in the matter.
So, what I am saying, in effect, is that rankings mean less of a $hit when it comes to what team will show up any given sunday. Look at the Steeler's a few years ago. Made the playoffs by the skin of thier teeth, only to make som real noise in the playoffs.

And BTW, the Titans are alot better than most people give them credit for. Fisher is one of the best at interchanging players and not skipping a beat. Probably the best team that noone has heard of. No real superstars, just 53 guys that go out and play a grinding style of football.

another deluded Beagles fan... didn't Connie Mack lead the last Philadelphia team that won a professional sports league championship? Get out your cryin' towel for this weekend.

Run the football eh? How many rushing yards do the Pats have right now? We throw the short passes and we'll run when we have too. Somone has to stop the pass 1st then we'll try something else. Our D is winning us games right now anyway. Go Pack!!!!

OK, here's the numbers: Pats 135.8 rush yards /game (8th in NFL) 4.2 yards per carry.

Packers? 71.3 rush yards a game (32nd of 32) and 3.4 yards per carry.

Your perception that NE can't run is dead wrong.

Your Packers can't be that good. My Bears team is TERRIBLE this year and you couldn't even beat them at Lambeau.

I'm not sure I can defend our running game, but "your" Bears might have won, but that was hardly a defining moment in Beardom...please..

Its not a defining moment in "Beardom" (whatever that is) but it may be in "Packerdom".

On New England-

Yeah, they may be the best team but I don't think the margin between them and the Colts is as big as the public seems to think. Everyone wants to look at point differentials; Bitchichek has been hell bent on running up big scores on opponents. Look at the garbage he pulled last week; going for it on 4th down up 38-0, throwing deep at 45-0, showing visible anger when Washington scored to make it 52-7. That works fine when you clearly tower over your opponents. I don't believe they tower over the Colts and we'll see how the bully reacts when he gets punched in the face a few times.......I'm sure the Colts could've run up bigger victory margins if they wanted to but the Colts DON'T have one thing the Patriots have for a coach: a classless asswipe.
