Pats with a dominant effort in London, Gronk with two of the best TD dances I've ever witnessed. Now, the Sweet 16:

1. Atlanta (--) - Still on top.

2. Houston (--) - No change here either.

3. NY Giants (--) - This team is really, really good.

4. San Francisco (--) - Can't move them up or down.

5. New England (--) - Same here. Great effort this week but can't put them past any of the teams ahead of them.

6. Chicago (--) - Boy, that defense is stifling.

7. Green Bay (--) - Wow, no movement in the top 7 at all. Amazing.

8. Baltimore (--) - Make it the top 8.

9. Denver (+1) - The league should take notice. Peyton Manning is in terrific form and these Broncos have a pretty sweet schedule the rest of the way.

10. Pittsburgh (+1) - Starting to turn their season around. Still have a chance to win the division with all the injury issues to Baltimore.

11. Miami (+2) - Is this team for real? At least they've gotten to the coveted "2nd best team in the AFC East" spot.

12. Indianapolis (N/A) - Nobody thought they'd be this good this soon. Great job by this team.

13. Minnesota (-4) - Not sure what to think of this team at this point.

14. Seattle (-2) - Same thing here.

15. Arizona (-1) - Awful performance last night, but who else to put here? At least they're still .500 (for the moment, though I see them sliding off the map).

16. Detroit (N/A) - Someone has to be here. May as well be them. How's that for a rousing endorsement?

Moving up: Den, Pit, Mia
Moving down: Min, Sea, Ari
Moving in: Ind, Det
Moving out: NO, Phi

Mid-Season Awards:
MVP: Matt Ryan. Other guys are very much in the conversation, but he's the man at this point, given his performance and the fact that Atlanta is the last undefeated team.
Defensive Player of the Year: JJ Watt. Monster season.
Rookie of the Year: Chandler Jones. Guy has been everything we've hoped for, and more.

PATSYLICIOUS

Hard to argue that top 10. I would switch us and Chicago's spots though, if I'm not mistaken they've only lost 1 game. And their D is ridiculous this year.

Chandler Jones defensive Roy.

Robert Griffin offensive Roy.

The Colts aren't a legit #12 as you rank them

I would think Seattle,Detroit,Minnesota,Cincinnati or even San Diego would beat them

Colts are scrappy though. Their defense will probably do them in, especially on the road where they will struggle, but we'll see.

The overall quality of the league is improving, imo - especially with the influx of a few good young QB's.

Everyone says the NFC is superior, and it is, but the top 4 in the AFC are all excellent teams. After that, it drops off a bit, but it won't be long before teams like the Colts and Fins are in the mix.

Chicago should be above the Pats right now and Denver should be above Baltimore. Other than that, no argument from me. But if you want one, I'm sure I could arrange a nice multi-page pissing contest.

I don't know if I would say its improving. I think there are a lot of mediocre/inconsistent teams right now, including NE. The teams that are looking dominant are Atlanta, Houston, and maybe Chicago and the Giants. Some of these other teams really need to start pulling away from the pack to start to be considered good.

Giants, Chicago, and Denver are probably too high. Steelers and Ravens are too low.

I don't know how the Giants are too high. They're the defending SB champs, only three teams have a better record than them, they have the best big-game QB in the league (sorry to say), and they've won four in a row.

But hey, it's just my opinion.
