Power Rankings and first quarter awards by me, along with some of the league leaders
2006 Power Rankings: Regular Season (Week 5 Oct 3 )
by thetombradyhater
1. Colts(1) - Peyton Manning leads the Colts on two impressvie drives late in the game to hold on for a victory over the Jets.
2. Bears(4)- Beating down the Seahawks on national TV proves Da Bears are among the elite
3. Ravens(7)- Steve McNair was the missing link in previous years, McNair showed his worth by marching the Ravens down the field with the clock winding down to give the Ravens the win.
4. Broncos(8 )- The Broncos rise during a bye week as a few top teams loose (Chargers, Bengals, Jaguars, ect)
5. Seahawks(3)- The loss hurts but if its any consalation it came against the new ruler of the NFC
6. Patriots(16)- Laurence Maroney could be a 1,000 yard rusher for the next 10+ years, I allready can see him as a multi ple time pro bowler and posiibly a Hall of Famer
7.Chargers(5)-Well its only one loss.
8. Bengals(2)- The Bengals Defence just could not stop the Pats run gamee at all
9. Eagles(11)- The first half of the game was ugly for the Eagles a team that was suppose to win with realitive ease, but when the secondhalf began the Eagles were a new team.
10. Falcons(15)- If you give the Falcons a pass for last week, they look like a good team
11.Cowboys(12)- TO returns and the Cowboys offense explodes
12.Panthers(16)- 2-0 with Steve Smith 0-2 without him.
13. Jaguars(6) - Santana Moss and Mark Brunell (among others) teared apart the Jags D that seemed unstopable against the Steelers
14. Steelers(13 )- Big game for the Steelers next week against the Chargers, a win could prove that they still are a very good NFL team, and a loss could be a knockout punch
15. Saints(9)-The Saints return to reality after a magical homecoming last week
16. Redskins(21)- A very impressive win from a team that looked like could be done with a loss
17. Rams(18 )- The Rams are 3-1, not bad.
18. Giants(17)- The Giants could have easily been winless right now
19. Bills(20)- JP Losman finally has the offense workng well this year
20. Jets(19)-Miracle final play almost worked, almost.
21. Vikings(10)- After staring the season on a very high note the Vikings luck has changed quickly
22. Chiefs(22) -The Chiefs defense had a shutout! Oh wait it was against the 49ers, that doesn't even count. _
23. Browns(28 )- Solid comeback win over the Raiders
24. Texans(31)- Texans pull an upset on a team with playoff hopes this year
25. Cardinals( 25)- At least Matt Leinart is in now
26. Dolphins(26)- Where Ricky Williams whe you need him?
27.Packers(23)- At least it was close at halftime
28. 49ers(25)- The 49ers return to their place dropping back out of the Top 25.
29.Buccaneers(27)- Doesn't look good for the team that was superbowl champions not to long ago
30. Lions(29)-No matter what they try the lions can't seem to win
31. Titans(30)-You miss Steve McNair?
32. Raiders(32) - Randy Moss gets a whopping 1 catch in Sundays loss
*number in ( ) is last weeks power rankings*
First Quarter Awards
Offensive Rookie: Laurence Maroney
Maroney is amazing. Ever ince I saw him run in the preseason this year I knew he would be special. Maroney absolutely killed the Bengals this week.
Honorable Mentions: Marques Colston, Greg Jennings, Reggie Bush
Defensive Rookie: Kamerion Wimbley
Wimbley, Clevland Browns outside linebacker is having a strong year. Wimbley has a 3 sacks along with 12 total tackles
Honorable Mentions: Donte Whitner, Demeco Ryans, Keith Ellison
Comeback Player: Donovan McNabb
One year after having major problems with injury and TO McNabb comes back and is having a career year. The Eagles are shocking everyone and are 3-1 (they easily could be undefeated)
Honorable Mentions: Rex Grossman, and Kellen Winslow JR
Most Surprising Team:New Orleans
After bring in Drew Brees and Reggie Bush this offseason most people expected the Saints to be better then last year. But only a quarter of the way thru this season the Saints have already matched their 2005 win total.
Honorable Mentions: Rams, and Falcons
Most Disappointing teamDolphins
After ending last year with seven straight wins and finishing 9-7 the Dolphins had high hopes for this year. They brought in QB Daunte Culpepper, but it just hasn’t worked so far. The Dolphins are 1-3 and will need to reel off an impressive string of games like last year if they have any hope of even smelling the playoffs.
Dishonorable Mentions: Steelers, Chiefs, Buccaneers, and Giants
Worst Team:The Raiders
Despite having Randy Moss their offense is pitiful last in total offense and tied for last in scoring offense. On top of that they are tied for 29th in turnover margin. When the Raiders finally have a good game to start, against the Browns, they can't hold on for a victory.
Dishonorable Mentions: Lions, Titans, and Buccaneers
Best Team:Colts
Edgerrin James is gone but Peyton Manning and the offense is as good as ever (well almost). So far the Passing game has been amazing as usual and though the running game isn’t what it was with Edge, it isn’t shabby and is enough to get by with. The defense has played good enough and when the Colts needed a lift most the Special Teams came up with it as the Colts returned a punt for a TD
Honorable Mentions: Bears and Ravens
Best Defensive Player: Julius Peppers
Julius Peppers is playing very good racking up 5 sacks and 22 tackles in 4 games. Peppers is on pace to have his best season yet.
Honorable Mentions: Rashean Mathis, Angelo Crowell, Shawne Merriman
MVP Donovan McNabb
Right now the Eagles could be undefeated, due in large amounts to their team leader Donovan McNabb. McNabb is third in the league in passer rating and first in both Passing Yards and Passing touchdowns. On top of that McNabb has two rushing touchdowns and only one interception. Honorable Mentions: Peyton Manning and Rex Grossman
