NFL Rankings following Week Five

This is a difficult week in which to rank NFL teams, there are a number of teams in the middle that could easily be at the top of the "middle" or at the bottom of "middle". I go with the Redskins based on the difficult schedule they have had to play through, they have had the most difficult schedule in the NFL for the first five weeks, getting through it at 4-1 is an incredible feat.

For details on why I think the Skins are belong here, you go here.

Washington Redskins Sorry folks, but the Skins are for real.
New York Giants Very impressive win, but they won a single game yet as impressive as what the Skins have done.
Tennessee Titans Collins has only been sacked once this season. The defense is absolutely scary, they could well be the best team in football if they just had the chance to prove it against a quality opponent.
Dallas Cowboys Are the Cowboys in trouble? I dunno, but something just doesn't seem right with this team.
Buffalo Bills Without Edwards this team isn't very good. That means depth is an issue, which means they aren't THAT good.
Carolina Panthers Still haven't proven anything, but they are getting things done.
Pittsburgh Steelers Ben is in serious need of this bye, Steelers need him to get healthy, and to fix that terrible O-Line.
Chicago Bears Found more offense, very nice. Orton almost looks like an NFL quarterback.
Indianapolis Colts They still don't have a defense, but they do still have Peyton, miracles never cease.
Denver Broncos Finally a win where score wasn't 90 to 87, they do have a defense after all, then again, it was the Bucs.
Philadelphia Eagles When Westbrook isn't right, this team doesn't stand a chance. Broken ribs now, it could get ugly real quick for the Eagles.
New Orleans Saints Defense and toughness are two things this team doesn't have.
San Diego Chargers Took way too much effort to beat Oakland.
Arizona Cardinals Last week I asked: are they ANY good or not? Answer: not on defense.
New England Patriots Cassel finally got the message that Randy Moss wasn’t the one that got hurt.
Atlanta Falcons Man, "the formula" is working pretty damn good isn't it?
Green Bay Packers Ok, this is on the way to looking really bad now, the defense is falling apart and Rodgers is banged up, not good.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Losing a defensive show down to the Broncos isn't a very good sign for this offense.
Baltimore Ravens Man, this defense can be scary at times, but they don't handle a good smack in the mouth too well do they?
Jacksonville Jaguars Well, what can one say, they are struggling and Gregg Williams defense isn't looking so great just now. Skins fans, can you take him back now?
Miami Dolphins Very impressive win over the Chargers, not sure how far this game plan can take them, but their gonna nurse if for everything it's worth.
Minnesota Vikings Vikings fans are rollin' on the Gus Bus!
New York Jets A bye was probably a good thing for the Jets, a little time for Favre to get himself ready for a long stretch of football.
San Francisco 49ers O'Sullivan let me down, but I knew he would.
Seattle Seahawks Ok, I now I know they can't fix this anytime soon, that was nasty!
Cincinnati Bengals Nice fight against the Giants and now the Cowboys. Maybe their a little closer than their record indicates.
Kansas City Chiefs Last week was a mirage!
Cleveland Browns What's there to say, It's time for the Mighty Quinn!
Oakland Raiders What now? There must be something to laugh about, right?
Houston Texans Poor Sage, he almost had it!
Detroit Lions Ummmm… Sorry, they're just bad, even after the bye week.
St Louis Rams They've got a new coach and they get to go to Washington this week, boy their luck is getting better by the day!
