Week 5 Power Rankings

When week 5 started not too many people could predict that the Redskins would win on the road against another NFC Divisional opponent, or that the once Proud Seattle Seahawks would put up the second least amount of points for week 5.  The Power Rankings for week 5 were a little tougher this week but once again from Overtime Sportswear here they are.

5. THE DALLAS COWBOYS - The Cowboys were coming off their first loss of the young season to the Divisional rival Washington Redskins, so how did they look in week 5???  The Cowboys looked like Cowgirls but still managed to get it done week 5 and are in jeopardy of jumping out of the top 5 rankings.  They could barely beat the Cincinnati Bungles winning 31-22.  Tony Romo once again show how average he really is and not an elite QB in this League YET. He will be and I think it will be soon but he is just lucky he has all the offensive weapons around him in Dallas because he would not succeed if he were in Donovan McNabb’s position or one of many other QB’s in this great league.

4. THE CAROLINA PANTHERS - Balance, Balance, Balance, if you have it you will win. The Panthers have had it all year and it is really showing. The destroyed the Chiefs holding them to 127 total yards, let me repeat that 127 TOTAL YARDS!!!!  Carolina was 10-18 on Third Down and held the Chiefs to 4-13. Julius Peppers only had one Tackle but made it count with his 3rd sack in as many games and he also had a Forced Fumble leading the Carolina Defense in Dominating the Kansas City Chiefs and treating them like the bottom 5 team they are.  De Angelo Williams had his best game as a Pro rushing for 123 Yards on 20 carries and had 3 Touchdowns 2 Rushing and 1 Receiving.

3. THE TENNESSEE TITANS - D-FENCE (CLAP CLAP) D-FENCE - The Titans are just dominating people with their Defense and showing the league how good they really are.  I know they only played the Ravens but a controversial call helped the Titans win the game. Kerry Collins got hit on a 3rd and 5 by Terrell Suggs around the head and kept the Drive alive leading to a Touchdown pass from Kerry Collins to Alge Crumpler with 6 minutes left in the game.  Jeff Fisher had the Titans off to their best start EVER at 5-0.  As long as Kerry Collins remains the starter and they have a legitimate down throwing threat they will continue to do well.

2. THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS - For the second consecutive week the Washington Redskins went on the ROAD to a DIVISIONAL OPPONENT and WON!!  The Redskins are for real folks believe it or not. Their only loss of the season came by the hands of the number 1 ranked team in the NFL, the New York Giants on the Opening Thursday game.  Jim Zorn and Jason Campbell have gelled more than Dr. Scholls Insoles and incerts. Are you Gellin???????  Clinton Portis is looking better than he ever has in the NFL, the last time he looked this good he was as the U.  Jason Campbell has yet to throw an interception this young season and is looking like The player we though he was!!

1. THE NEW YORK GIANTS - The Giants Dominated and decimated the Seattle Seahawks like they were playing in the Slack 10 this year.  It was hard to determine if the Giants were beating up the Seahawks or the UW Huskies.  The Giants didn’t have their Best Wide Receiver in Plaxico Burress and it didn’t even look like it at all. Domenik Hixon filled in for Burress with over 100 yards and a TD looking like he could be the number 1 WR for the Seahawks until he left later in the game with a mild concussion from a helmet to helmet his from Josh Wilson.  Eli Manning looked like Eli Manning and the Running game looked like someone left the water faucet flowing. Brandon Jacobs looked like he was a Man among boys running a meager 15 times for 136 yards and 2TD. Ahmad Bradshaw and Derrick Ward ran wild combining for 105 yards on 18 carries on the ground once again showing they have the best combined running attack in the NFL.  The Giants have won 8 straight going back to last year in the Playoffs and Superbowl.  The Giants are rolling and it doesn’t look like they are slowing down anytime soon at all.
