I wouldn't normally do this but since it will be twelve days till the Pats play again, thought I'd look to see what the national media is now thinking of the Pats. Similar to fans that follow the team, power rankings tend to put far too much emphasis on the most recent game, but for thos interested, here you go:
NFL Power Rankings Week 5 - National Football League - ESPN
ESPN ranks the Steelers, Saints, Packers, Jets and Falcons as their top five.
Pats are 8th
"Bill Belichick may be struggling with his defense, but he has no concerns about the offense and special teams."
NFL Power Rankings: Hello, any greatness out there? - NFL - CBSSports.com Football
CBS lists the Ravens, Falcons, Jets, Saints, and Packers as the top teams.
Pat are 8th
"That was a special-teams clinic Monday night. But you just can't count on that much. Their season will be decided by how much they improve on defense."
NFL Power Poll: Separation Sunday in AFC - NFL - Sporting News
Sporting News has the Jets, Ravens, Saints, Packers and Steelers as the top five.
Pats are 6th
"It's just not fair when Tom Brady and their loaded offense is getting scoring help from the defense and special teams."
NFL Power Rankings - Top 32 NFL Football Teams - FOX Sports on MSN
FoxSports' top five are the Ravens, Steelers, Jets, Packers and Falcons.
Pats are 10th
"What an amazing performance by New England's special teams against Miami. But New England's defense still has issues. One game can't camouflage the deficiencies on that side of the ball."
Week Four power rankings | ProFootballTalk.com
NBC/PFT lists the Jets, Ravens, Steelers, Falcons and Saints as the top teams.
Pats are 8th
"Things get very interesting after the bye, with five of the next six against the Ravens, Chargers, Vikings, Steelers, and Colts."
The one thing all sites have in common? Every one of them ranks the Bills dead last at #32.
