I’m not a big fan of ranking NFL teams in order of best to worst, however I disagree with the New England Patriots being ranked as only the No. 5. Of course, the Green Bay Packers deserve to be ranked No. 1, but in my opinion the Patriots should be ranked as No. 2. Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady are the best QBs in the league. Sure N.E. had a couple of games they didn’t play up to their potential – Week 8 PIT 25, N.E. 17 and Week 9 NYG 24, N.E. 20, but the No. 2 Baltimore Ravens also slipped up in Week 7 to JAC 12, BAL 7 and Week 10 to SEA 22, BAL 17. The teams the Patriots lost to were playoff caliber teams at the time they played while Baltimore’s opponents are both sub-500 teams. Baltimore is no better than a No. 4 team with the Steelers at No. 5 based on their two losses to the Ravens.
Well, I would counter that the Ravens are playing better than the Patriots right now. Plus, I think my Steelers would be the Patriots again if they met in the playoffs…
Baltimore #2 really?

I’m sorry, but I cannot put the Pats ahead of the Ravens and Steelers. Besides, didn’t the Pats lose to the Steelers?
