| 11. Killa Hill- They look the part and Coon is a playmaker and they have some other pretty good players but they have been hammered in almost every game but they have decent numbers and some potential but have to fix that pass defense asap.
10. Chiefs- To be honest I am surprised that they have 2 wins. But they have improved since week 1. Didnt look too good on Sunday though. They seem to have settled down into a group of 15 that play hard, when Matt is at qb they are better on O and defensively they are not terrible. Better protection for Coyne would give them a better chance to have some success.
9. Saints- I know it sounds crazy but this is a good 0-5 team. They must have done something to piss the schedule maker off, they have played the top 5 teams and with the exception of the steeler game could have won all of them. Rob is still playing at a really high level although his interceptions are up. He consistently hooks up with his top receiver Rico, who is also playing at a high level. The defense battles and keeps them in every game. Adding one more playmaker would go a long way to helping them pull out a couple of wins.
8. Broncos- The Broncos are a solid team with a strong defense led by pass rusher Steve Kelly and Lb Todd Hill (Hill played an outstanding game Sunday against the Canes). Offensively they have solid possession receivers but seem to be lacking the explosive player on their offense to make it easier for QB Sean Walton who is coming along but seems to hold the ball alittle too long. they also have some soft spots in the secondary that tend to get exploited against better teams.
7. Hawks- This team is capable of being alot higher but Sundays loss to the Rocketless Steelers and the loss to the Spartans could hurt them when it comes to making the playoffs. Steve Dunbar is playing at an all-world level and qb Dave Godek may be playing better than any other qb in the league. While being the most exciting team to watch offensively, they give up alot of big plays defensively which hurts them. Also another player or 2 stepping up to help out Dunbar offensively would help. Still a dangerous team.
6. Spartans- The surprise team thus far. Cushon has improved and put together a quality team with not alot of holes. Along with his running Cushon has had success through the air this season throwing to Tommy Miller(3tds),Hack (2tds), and KT (2tds). The defense has been solid led by Tuck who deserves to be mentioned with the top D linemen in the league. For this team to breakthrough Cushon needs to prove that he can pass against the better defenses. I feel using 87 KT more to stretch the field will make the O better and help them hold onto that last playoff spot.
5. Tig Ole Bitties- Have come to life after a slow start to the year. Kerry Palmer is playing good football and spreading the ball around to a good core of receivers led by Angelo Marrero(5tds) and Corey Newsome (4tds). Their defense has played well led by the pass rush of James Blanchette and Kerzell Barnes. Their pass defense could be an area of concern. They are a contender if they can keep the big plays to a minimum on D and the O-Line can keep Palmer protected.
4. Canes- Fall from 3 to 4 with the injury to Justin and the Warriors additions. The Southside Canes are playing well and seem to have gotten all of the personalities to mesh well together. They have started to play alot more physical football. Reggie and Terry have made alot of plays offensively along with the underrated Brian Chouinard. Moe is the best in the league between the 20's but has to improve the offense in the redzone. Defensively they have played well led by DL Snacks and Rodney Davis. Some players in the secondary will have to step it up especially with the loss of their best DB. They are a sleeper to win the whole thing with a healthy return of Walters and Will "King " Collins becoming playoff eligible.
3. Warriors- With the return of Tyler Dube at receiver and the all purpose Dawud the Warriors return to the 3 spot. They had been winning with the ground and pound led by Moose, Savino, and Chamberlain. The other 2 players provide an explosive element to their offense which really makes them dangerous for the top teams to handle. At some point I expect there qb to return and possibly some Knights but they are doing fine for themselves. The defense has been dominant (I think they have won 3 games 7-6.)They are small upfront but Mooses boys play hard and have a legitimate shot to damage in the playoffs.
2. Steelers- I have finally moved the Steelers to 2. The travel may be becoming an issue for the Steelers. They are still one of the favorites but its hard to win a championship with a different roster every week. They started Sunday with 9 linemen on the field (Hell of a throw by Unc Swin though lol). With Rocket, Anrae, Ivan, and their Line they can beat anyone but will they all show every week. They still have to play all the other top teams in the league. I am interested to see who they have.
1. Chargers- No I do not play for the Chargers, I am just a football fan with no life. They have played the best football so far this season, dismantling TOB last Sunday and an impressive win in a great game against a pumped up canes team and the 1 week they had their whole team they scored 40. Hussey is becoming a legit receiver along with Big play Rich Kirkland. Their defense has played well except for some hiccups this week against the Saints. With Uyi, Joe Lane, and a veteran secondary the defense will be tough to score on. Offensively Shank has done a good job holding down the fort at qb but in the playoffs when he goes back to receiver and the Ny bus shows up with Thomas, Milli, Eric and Big John they become almost unbeatable. But thats why they play the games.
Just my opinion. Feel free to disagree or just prove me wrong on the field.
Also my opinion Stats do lie. If you have 20 tds or 20 sacks and are still getting blocked or covered by one man with no help you are probably not a beast. I just watch the games.

| When its all said and done the Chargers and the Steelers will battle it out for the chip. Both teams have several superstars that will just play the minimum amount of games and then come roaring into the playoffs and guess what THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. Ask any coach and see how he gets a guy like Uyi, Big Jon, Rocket, Pig and some of the other stars to show up to play the Chiefs and Killa Hill. HE DOESNT just make the games that matter he will tell them. Warriors and Canes are the next closest with Spartans, TOB and Hawks all another year and a few players away from the big time

| I have to agree Dunbar is probably the baddest offensive weapon in the game right now, pretty much unguardable one on one and sometimes with 2 guys on him. Dube from the warriors might have something to say about that now tho. There definitely guys that u gameplan for when u step on the field.

| Dunbar is a stud. Has to be one of the best young receivers around. But that boy Dube, he is baaaaaaaadddddddd! Best receiver is the league.

| thank you. never said the kid isn't good. he's def talented, personally i think moss is better, bigger/stronger, stronger hands. but that's just me. dunbar runs great routes, and is explosive, but put someone with speed on him i.e. kirkland, and is he as effective? who knows.
p.s. qb puts the ball on the money as well.
S.p.e.e.d kills, and you know thisssssss......man
