They sacked Palmer 6 times and held the "high powered" Cincy offense to 247 TOTAL yards (97 of those yards came on a drive in teh 2nd quarter).<BR/><BR/>The Steelers offense is what's missing. So, I'm fine with them being in the middle of the pack (even though I'm a fan).<BR/><BR/>That said, Cincy should not be so high.<BR/><BR/>Indy and Jax should be at the top. SD, CHI and SEA close behind.<BR/><BR/>Baltimore hasn't played a tough team yet but I'll give them credit for winning 3 straight.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305096508964522753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1159533024667046042006-09-29T08:30:00.000-04:002006-09-29T08:30:00.000-04:00Just a quick question after reading some of these ...Just a quick question after reading some of these posts.

Rivvy, but because they haven't really played anyone tough yet. And Rivers is of course gonna be last, because he didn't have to throw vs. Oakland, and they just had a bye week. <BR/><BR/>I'd take Indy for #1 at this point, especially if you think about the injuries they have going on, when they are full strength they'll definitely be the team to beat.

Or take the Colts- they beat YOUR Jags, arguably the toughtest game in Week 3, and yet they trail the Chargers AND the Bengals AND da' Bears.<BR/><BR/>C'mon, be consistent in philosophy- you have to do something NOW to make a move (up OR down). <BR/><BR/>rob (warwick)Jingoisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01269679565181077961noreply@blogger.com
