Quarter of the Season Power Rankings!!

At the quarter pole, the Browns are battling the Saint's ofr the number one draft pick.

Doing power rankings weekly is about the dumbest thing one can do. When any team can win on any given Sunday, the rankings will flip flop like hot cakes. Therefore, you'll only see me ranking teams every four weeks. So lets get to it!

32. Cleveland Browns
Cleveland is one of the best worst teams in the league I have seen in a while. All the losses have been close, but with a rookie QB, a rookie RB, and receivers who have stone hands, this is probably where they will spend the rest of the year.

31. Jacksonville Jaguars
Blaine Gabbert at the helm. This team will go as far as he goes. Even with a Houston like defense, I think this team probably only wins 6 games. A Houston defense needs 17 points to guarantee victory, and Jacksonville can't be counted on to do even that.

30. Oakland Raiders
This team is sunk at Quarterback, had to give up all their defensive talent due to cap limitations, and has very few draft picks heading forward. And that's about all there is to say about this team.

29. Tampa Bay Buccaneers  
This team doesn't look like it has much of a direction. I can't tell how sold they are on Josh Freeman, and I just feel like a team that has been high in the draft in recent years coupled with a spending spree this past offseason should be doing much better.

28. Miami Dolphins
 Plays very inspired ball at times, but just not nearly talented enough to win a lot of ball games this year. Dol-phans should be relieved to see signs of life in Ryan Tannehill.

27. Tennessee Titans
They were bad with their starting QB, now that the starter is out, expect a lot more Texans games than games against the Lions.

26. Buffalo Bills
The Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of the league. If they can't decide whether they are good or bad, I'll just stick them at the bottom tier of the rankings and forget about them.

25. Carolina Panthers
Cam Newton is sophomore slumping. And when the team lives and dies by their QB, the team falls into a slump with him.

24. Kansas City Chiefs
Its alarming to me how bad the AFC has gotten. A few years ago, they were the premier conference by far. Wasn't Kansas City one of the more talented teams in the AFC going into this season. But it shows what a QB league this has become, seeing as how Matt Cassel's poor play is a huge reason this ship is sinking so rapidly.

23. New York Jets
I can't believe we are at game 4 and Tebow time hasn't even started. I felt like Tim Tebow would have gotten in had Sanchez performed well. Now that it seems like there is nothing to lose, why not make the switch, at least Tebow can be somewhat entertaining to watch.

22. Indianapolis Colts
This Colts team isn't about this year, they are about the future. But the fact that they haven't been dreadful this year has to have Colts fans excited.

21. New Orleans Saints
I think this is the best 0-4 team in league history. Head Coaches DO matter in the NFL.

20. Detroit Lions
I expected this team to slip behind this year. They lack discipline which is a surprise since Jim Schwartz is a pretty no nonsense guy. The passing game is operating at the high volume of last year, but there are no touchdowns to finish drives, and that is hurting this team the most.

19. Dallas Cowboys
The Monday Night game told me everything I need to know about this team. In that, they are going nowhere at the speed of light.

18. St. Louis Rams
Another team I was delighted to be right about. They aren't great, but they aren't the dredge of the league everyone was expecting them to be.

17. Washington Redskins
RG3 has me believing in the Redskins for the first time in my entire lifetime. The cynic in me still believes Daniel Snyder is plotting how to ruin his career during late nights in his office.

16. Seattle Seahawks
A team that runs hot and cold in the tough conference will find themselves on the outside looking in come playoff time.

15. Cincinnati Bengals
The definition of mediocre. Beats all losing teams, loses to all winning teams.

14. Pittsburgh Steelers
Mainly they are just playing well enough to where we aren't nitpicking every single one of their flaws yet. The nitpicking will come as the losses pile up.

13. San Diego Chargers
Needs to prove themselves against a quality opponent before I begin noticing them.

12. Minnesota Vikings
A team that will most likely fade down the stretch, but the fans will continue to make the Metrodome loud so long as the team keeps winning. I told everyone last year Christian Ponder was a keeper, glad to see he isn't making me look like a dummy.

11. Chicago Bears
 A team that looks like they have as high a ceiling as anyone, but they're also a Jay Cutler injury/meltdown away from serious trouble land. Again, I think this has become too much of a QB league.

10. Denver Broncos
Peyton will find his swagger. And when he does...watch out NFL.

9. New York Giants
A team that knows how to win any game in any way is a very dangerous team come January. The trick is making it to January, Tom Coughlin.

8. Arizona Cardinals
I can't say for sure if this team is here to stay, but if the defense keeps playing like its the Ball So Hard University defense, this team will be a part of the playoff picture.

7. Green Bay Packers
Mike McCarthy is too good a head coach to allow his offense to play as timid and sloppy as it has this year. Expect a late season surge ala 2010.

6. Philadelphia Eagles
See Giants, New York.

5. New England Patriots
When you have Tom Brady, it doesn't matter what goes on with the rest of your team. This is also the best Patriots defense we have seen in years too. If this unit gels by the end of the season, watch out Baltimore and Houston.

4. San Francisco 49ers
3. Atlanta Falcons
2. Baltimore Ravens
1. Houston Texans

In a season chock full of middling teams and just flat out bad teams, these teams have already established themselves as bonafide contenders in week 4, a rare feat in a league built on parity. You'll never hear this out of my mouth in any other season, but you can lock these 4 into the top 2 spots of their conference today.
