NFL Week 3 Power Rankings.....BEARS and RAVENS take a few steps back....JETS, SAINTS, and STEELERS move up...the MARCH to NAPTOWN in February 2012

This time of year there is going to be some major shuffling every week in the NFL Power Rankings simply because it looks like there is no CLEAR FAVORITE.......or is it a 2-Trick Pony.....the PACK and the PATS.

A lot of movement in the BLUEDUDE SPORTSTALK NFL Power Rankings this past week and I missed on some of these TEAMS either ranking them too high or too low.

The BILLS, REDSKINS, and TEXANS are 3-0 and moving up while the DREAM TEAM (EAGLES), RAVENS, and BEARS are WEEK to WEEK. It's too early to call out the TEAMS that are the ELITE but after the MIDWAY POINT....WEEK 9.......we will definitely know who is who and where everyone will be doing com POST SEASON.

The WEEK 3 NFL Power Rankings powered by BLUEDUDE SPORTSTALK:

NOTE: Current Ranking for Week 3 is to the LEFT and the Power Ranking from LAST WEEK is in parenthesis to the right of the TEAM.

1. PACKERS (1): They pulled up some chairs to watch the Cam NEWTON Show there for a while until Coach Mike McCARTHY put the PACK in High Gear. I know they are getting torched in their secondary which is suppose to be an ELITE Group with Corners WOODSON and Tramon WILLIAMS. But until someone can take the PLAYSTATION or X-BOX Controller away from PACKERS QB Aaron RODGERS....they are still the Team to beat. It's BEARS WEEK........this week...stay tuned

2. PATRIOTS (4): I am tired of hearing it to but PATS QB Tom TERRIFIC is DRAKE......I'M ON ONE......torching every secondary an defense in his path. The DEFENSE is still a work in PROGRESS but BRADY and the O behind all them 2-Tight End Sets have Officially went HERE WE COME with 2 TIGHTS....CAN YOU STOP IT......and so far......H*** NO. The BILLS are coming...The BILLS are coming UP NEXT

3. JETS (6): Was it the JETS Effort or the lackluster JAGS......or BOTH or just one of those gams in a LONG LINE to Come to get a coach FIRED......(SEE JACK Del RIO). Not taking anything away from the JETS and their effort but RUTGERS, HOFSTRA, and STONY BROOK could have beat the JAGS last SUNDAY. But to their credit the JETS didn't make the SCHEDULE they just play the SCHEDULE. You know those PATRIOT /JETS Games are lurking somewhere between the HUDSON and a Nice Bowl of BOSTON CLAM CHOWDER.

4. SAINTS (7): So much for Aaron RODGERS torching their defense a few weeks ago. It's never too early for your defensive line to go to YOUTH FOOTBALL LEAGUE RULES.....If the QB has the BALL and your not blocked.....KILL HIM (WHISPERING so PARENTS won't hear). And the BEARS had a Throwback night with the SACKS. Remember about this time last year the G-MEN rolled up a 10-SACK of CUTLER with GIANTS DE Osi UMENYIORIA getting more than a handful of those. The SAINTS are very explosive on OFFENSE and if they PLAY D like that....the FALCONS and BUCS will be playing for the WILD Card.

5. STEELERS (8): I know what your going to say how is it that the STEELERS are ahead of the RAVENS when the RAVENS took the STEELERS to the CHESAPEAKE.......it's my BLOG and it's STEELERS Nation over here. Plus we are not invited to no more HOMECOMING GAMES the rest of the season. We saw The SEAHAWKS.....We Smashed the SEAHAWKS......now the WEEK 1 Loss has created what Coach TOMLIN likes to See.......an EDGE and We will not have an IDENTITY CRISIS in the 'BURGH....not under TOMLIN, The ROONEY's, nor HOF Mr. DICK LeBEAU........PERIOD....up next the 0-2 COLTS but it's SUNDAY NIGHT and here we go

6. RAVENS (3): To have a let down and get beat and CJ28 has ran for 200 Plus yards is understandable. But to let QB Matt HASSELBACK go HAM when he hasn't thrown for that many yards since 2006......NOT GOOD. Now the RAVENS can stop running around STADIUMS shaking everyones hand when the beat someone. THis NFL GIG will humble the S*** out of you if you let it. I know that rematch is October 23rd.......but handle BIZ before than because we need the RAVENS in a nice feeling SPECIAL MOOD.

7. TEXANS (10): Look who is in the TOP 10 and looking like they belong and playing like it to. The TEXANS are for real an so much for RB Arian FOSTER'S Hamstring.....enter RB Ben TATE of the PLAINS in AUBURN. The OFFENSE has not skipped a beat and that new 3-4 that New Defensive Coordinator Wade PHILLIPS.....yeah that WADE......is starting to pay BIg DIVIDENDS for the TEXANS. Don;t forget they have the Best WR MONEY CAN BUY in DRE' 305 from the U in Coral Gables. OCTOBER 2nd......write it down....it will be GUT CHECK Time......A 5-STAR Match-UP cuz we in it.....STEELERS @ TEXANS

8. BEARS (2): You say D*** BLUEDUDE ......we dropped 6 spots...YEP.....WHY?......One thousand ONE Broke out and the BEARS O-LINE forgot about TWO and THREE. So I helped everyone over in LAKE FOREST ILLINOIS (the BEARS Headquarters) I went One thousand SIX. The BEARS are talented but Offensive Coordinator MIKE MARTZ is going to have to get an Extra Body Guard back there for CUTLER before it will be 2nd Stringer HEINE back there watching HINEY. BEARS must go heavy with RB Matt FORTE (who reminds the BLUEDUDE of a POOR MAN'S Marcus ALLEN) in both running and passing game. It's PACKER WEEK......need I say anymore

9. FALCONS (11): The DIRTY BIRDS looked Dead to RIGHT until Mike VICK went out of the GAME. Does anyone see what I see when you look at MATT RYAN'S Body LANGUAGE.......it spells INDECISIVENESS or GLOOM and DOOM or BOTH? The FALCONS have to reach back and find a medium on how they play people Defensively or they will be on the ROAD for a WILD CARD or watching the BUCS in their place. BIG WIN......nonetheless

10. EAGLES (5): A big drop like the BEARS.......they have a huge problem on D and when those tapes get to circulating on how to ATTACK the EAGLES Defensively......they will be in trouble. I knew going in that the FALCONS would try to go HEAVY Michael TURNER and it took the DIRTY BIRDS 2 and a half Quarters to figure that out but they did it and the EAGLES had no ANSWERS. It looks like the EAGLES might go 3rd String QB KAFKA....who played well vs the FALCONS......going the distance in WEEK 3....keep you posted.

11. LIONS (10): Not ready yet LIONS FANS but your team is legit......waiting on the BEARS and PACKERS LOSERS to put yall where I want to....at the TOP of the NFC NORTH....after WEEK 3. Don't the LIONS look like those NASTY Defenses in the MUSIC CITY under Coach Schwartz. And just think One Man doesn't make a difference but 2011 Top Pick DT Nick FAIRLEY of AUBURN hasn't seen a SNAP yet. He and SUH should be worth the price of admission and QB STAFFORD and the O.....not since BARRY DELISCIOUS has the LIONS O looked so entertaining and consistently GOOD.

12. REDSKINS (13) They have something brewing in the NATIONS CAPITAL. Who would've thought a CHUNK of HIGHTOWER and a GROSSMAN RUB then the GRILL......that the REDSKINS would be SMOKIN like this. The scary thing is that DEFENSE is LEGIT under DEFENSIVE GURU Jim HASLETT and they will get better as the season goes along. This MONDAY NIGHT in BIG D.......COWBOY WEEK and the 'SKINS come in 2-0.......Hit it KELS (R&B Singer R KELLY) IMAGINE THAT IMAGINE THAT IMAGINE THAT

13. BOLTS (9) They are the SAME GUYS all the TIME. They get into the REDZONE and do nothing. They Look the PART but never PLAY IT in BIG GAMES. If I was a CHARGERS FAN......I would give up my season tickets and quit going they make a GREAT TEAM look unbeatable because the BOLTS are too busy beating themselves. Hey Coach Norv TURNER.....take the names off of the BACK of the JERSEYS and tell them they will not get names on the back again until the AFC CHAMPIONSHIP Game.....Or is that a FAIR Assessment?

14. BILLS (15) Being patient can jump on this wagon too quick because sometimes when you jump on it CIRCLES back into the wrong DIRECTION. But the BISON CITY has to be proud because it feels like 1992 (PRINCE 1999). They are the CARDIAC KIDS of ORCHARD PARK 2K11...sorry DAWG POUND.....the ORIGINAL CARDIAC KIDS. Now they get the MEASURING STICK OUT......the PATRIOTS are up NEXT. We are about to see HOW SERIOUS the BILLS really are about taking that NEXT STEP.

15. COWBOYS (16) Not feeling the ROMO thing 100 yet. Yeah the KID went and got HIS MONEY under adverse circumstnces but the FOOTBALL GODS told him.....you want redemption.....PUT THIS FLAP JACKET on them RIBS and go get it. And to the GOLD RUSH Party......he did and the 'BOYS come out with a must needed W. Up NEXT.........SNYDER and those 2-0 2K11 Mike SHANAHAN REDSKINS........READY for SOME FOOTBALL.......

16. RAIDERS (14) They let one slip away on a short week having played in DENVER Week 1 but they had every reason not to lose that game and the BILLS took it from them the RAIDERS didn't lose it. What's next......a 2-team race in the AFC WEST......BOLTS and SILVER and BLACK.......so who is going to get it done......the RAIDERS have a TOP 5 RB in MCADDEN and I would ride the WHEELS until they you see the RAZORBACK LOGO on the RUBBER. QB Jason CAMPBELL has been impressive with all that speed on the OUTSIDE.

Look out for these TEAMS.....

NY FOOTBALL GIANTS
TB BUCCANEERS
TENN TITANS
