There will be more than one <strong>8-9 team<\/strong> playing in the post season.\u00a0 Mark it down.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/strong> are allowing 9 points per game. Nine!\u00a0 You check Instaface at least a dozen times per day.<\/li>\n<li>If the <strong>Steelers<\/strong> don\u2019t put up at least 24 on the Jets this week,<strong> Kenny Picket<\/strong> will start their next game.<\/li>\n<li>Are you still alive your <strong>survivor<\/strong> <strong>pool<\/strong>? Most of them will pay out before week six if things keep up like this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Garret Wilson<\/strong> is an early contender for the offensive rookie of the year. If he gets stable play from whomever his quarterback is, he may run away with it.<\/li>\n<li>Can\u2019t remember a time where a suspension so clearly cost a team a game as <strong>Mike Evans<\/strong>\u2019 suspension did the Bucs on Sunday.<\/li>\n<li>I\u2019m old enough to remember when the <strong>Thursday<\/strong> night games stunk, and the Sunday night games were good.<\/li>\n<li>So, that was a back injury that made <strong>Tua<\/strong> look like he had a concussion? Okay, Doc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jalen Hurts<\/strong> is 3<sup>rd<\/sup> in passing yards on the season, and only 19 running backs have more rushing yards.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>Bengals<\/strong> are giving <strong>Miami<\/strong> 4 points Thursday night. I\u2019m taking the candy.<\/li>\n<li>The NFL plays its first game in <strong>London<\/strong> this Sunday. I\u2019m not sure what exactly the people of London did to the NFL, but it must have been bad for the NFL to make them watch <strong>Jameis Winston<\/strong> play quarterback.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Our Heroes in Green<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So much for the big comeback in Cleveland leading to big things.\u00a0 Gang Green crashed back to the reality that they have only played well for the last couple minutes of the Browns game, and they are very nearly 0-3 to start the season.\u00a0 On the bright side, Zack Wilson was cleared to play Sunday against Pittsburgh.\u00a0 If the Jets offensive line doesn\u2019t start earning their game checks, Zack will be cleared right back to the injured list.\u00a0 Pittsburgh doesn\u2019t do much well, but they can rush the passer even with TJ Watt injured.\u00a0 If the Jets can block just a little, they can win this game.\u00a0 The Jets are -4 so far in turnover differential.\u00a0 Only the Saints are worse.\u00a0 Mitch Trubisky is just the thing the Jets need to address their poor turnover differential.\u00a0 The Jets are lucky to play the Steelers without TJ Watt; they are even luckier to play them before the Steelers realize that Mitch Trubisky is not as good as Kenny Pickett.<\/p>\n<p><strong>JetNation NFL Power Rankings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Week Three<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Miami Dolphins <\/strong>3-0 (Last Week: 5) The Dolphins found a way to beat what looked like an unbeatable team. The short week doesn\u2019t leave them much time to enjoy it or for Tua\u2019s back (assuming that was really his back that he hurt) to get better.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Philadelphia Eagles <\/strong>3-0 (Last Week: 6) Philadelphia cruised against the Commanders. The Eagles have allowed under 10 points in both of their last two contests.\u00a0 AJ Brown has changed everything for the Bird\u2019s offense.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Buffalo Bills <\/strong>2-1 (Last Week: 1) The Bills snatched defeat from the jaws of victory on Sunday.\u00a0 They outplayed Miami and found a way to lose anyway.\u00a0 The Bills now have to face the Ravens, Chiefs, and Packers over the next four weeks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kansas City Chiefs <\/strong>2-1 (Last Week: 2) The Chiefs met with a desperate Colts team Sunday.\u00a0 KC is not getting enough on the ground.\u00a0 58 total yards gained is a big reason why KC wasted a solid day from their defense who only allowed the hard running Colts 82 rushing yards.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Los Angeles Rams<\/strong> 2-1 (Last Week: 4) The Rams have won two straight after treating opening night like an extra pre-season game. I am not sure I am totally on board with the back-to-back championship effort yet, but the Rams have looked better of late.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tampa Bay Buccaneers <\/strong>2-1 (Last Week: 3) Tampa just had nothing going on offense Sunday.\u00a0 Mike Evans absence was a huge part of that.\u00a0 The Bucs badly need some people to get healthy and for Evans to keep his cool.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baltimore Ravens<\/strong> 2-1 (Last Week: 8) If Baltimore doesn\u2019t fade late against the Dolphins in week two, they are probably atop the power rankings right now. They get to prove how good they are this week with the Bills coming to town.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green Bay Packers <\/strong>2-1 (Last Week: 9) The Pack can now point at their week one flop as an extension of the preseason.\u00a0 They completely throttled the Bucs weakened offense on Sunday.\u00a0 Fourteen points doesn\u2019t inspire a ton of optimism, but a road win against a quality opponent is not something to apologize for.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Los Angeles Chargers<\/strong> 1-2 (Last Week: 7) The Chargers biggest opponent is health. Assuming things improve, this is a playoff team.\u00a0 If things continue to be a challenge from a health standpoint, Los Angeles can lose to anybody.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jacksonville Jaguars<\/strong> 2-1 (Last Week: Unranked) Yeah\u2026the Jags \u2013 deal with it.\u00a0 They have two straight wins and have outscored their last two opponents 62-10.\u00a0 Trevor Lawrence has 6 TDs and has thrown just one INT.\u00a0 The Jags can run the rock, and they have 7 sacks already.\u00a0 Not too shabby.\u00a0 They have to play undefeated Philadelphia this week, so we will know if they are worth watching the rest of the way.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week Four Thoughts\u2026 The Jaguars appear to be ahead of the pace for their scheduled arrival at being-a-real-pain-in-the-rear-end-to-play-against ville.
