After 5 weeks 10 teams, Arizona, Tampa Bay, Detroit, Green Bay, Oakland, Tennessee, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Houston, and Miami have 1 or no wins. I have 3 questions: Which team can turn it around? Which team will get the 1st pick? Which coaches will get the axe at the end of the season?
Heres an even more interesting tidbit....of the 6 wins those teams have combined for, 5 have come against each other and the 6th was Arizona's opening victory against the 49ers....Arizona, Pittsburgh and Miami are the teams that look most capable of making a run to challenge teams later in the season,but all 3 have QB issues to work through....
GB has been competitive this year so I don't think there the worse. Right now I'd rate it like this.... 1. Raiders 2. Titans 3. Lions 4. Texans 5. Browns 6. Buccaneers 7. Packers 8. 49ers 9. Arizona 10. Miami
Is it just me or is the list of BAD teams longer than usual? I know it's early in the season, but those are some pretty bad teams right now.

This is something else that is happening because of the parity of the league. There are more bad teams suddenly.
I gotta put the Raiders in as the worst team - they are horrible. Arizona looked good with Leinart in the game - I like their chances of winning 5 - 6 games.
Which team can turn it around: Arizona and Pittsburgh Which team will get the 1st pick: Raiders or Titans Which coaches will get the axe at the end of the season: Chucky and Jeff Fisher As for ranking them: 1. Raiders 2. Lions 3.Tennessee 4.Cleveland 5.Houston 6.Green Bay 7.Tampa Bay 8.Miami 9.Arizona 10.Pittsburgh
I think the Packers have a good shot at turning it around, obviously I'm a little biased, but they have been improving each week, I mean last week they had a very good chance at winning the game, a fumble in the red zone with time running out and down by 3 cost them (against the 4-1 Rams). So they're already competitive and if they keep improving they will get 6-8 wins. Unfortunately they lost 2 games they should have won, against the Saints and againts the Rams. Both these games were at home and both decided by one score. But they've been improving and I think they will start winning the close ones, and surprise alot of teams. The Titans are getting no respect after losing by 1 point at the colts!?!?! I think the Raiders are obviously the worst team right now, although the Lions may give them a run at the #1 pick. What happens if both the Lions and the Raiders go 0-16? But I think the Raiders have a tougher schedule and their only "easy" game is against the Texans.
I wonder how the Bears would do against the Raiders? I'd love to see that game just to see how far Chicago could run up the score.
Currently, the RAIDERS are the worst of the worst. Detroit is licking at their heels though. The RAIDER defense may lead them to the promised land of teams with a win while the Detroit team just plain has nothing going for it.

I was surprised Walter was pulled this past Sunday. Given enough time, he will be real good IMO. I hope Oakland gets their 1st win against the Donkeys. There aren't that many "elite" teams this year; Indy, Bears, Ravens, Broncos, & despite what SteelerFan thinks...Cincy. I believe it was Irvin who said last night that their offense is what makes them so.
I'd say the Lions and Raiders on the field are equally bad but the Raiders are worse off in the off field side of things. I still believe Coach M in Detroit is the man for the job and will keep order where as the Raiders seemed lost already for the year. I'm wondering if Martz is a good thing for the Lions though or if he's trying to get to much out of that offence. At least Bulgers enjoying getting out of bed on Mondays more this year while Kitna takes a beating

Walter can be the real deal, but not unless he gets his ass kicked a few times first.
