Not even Peter King writes this much nonsense

Damn it Pete Prisco. I'm tired, I have a headache, I'm trying to have a relaxing evening but I somehow stumble upon your latest shitfest and it totally fucks everything up. Prisco is seriously my least favorite writer out there and stuff like this basically makes me want to light him on fire.

Please, someone tell me why this man is a "senior writer" over at CBS because I really don't get it. Anyways, week 5 is in the books and this is how Pete ranks the teams...


# 27 - The Raiders

They come off the bye week after getting their first victory against Miami two weeks ago. Daunte Culpepper has to stay as the starter.

A "senior writer" should at least have his facts right shouldn't he? Oakland got their first victory against Cleveland in week 3. The Miami game was their second victory, a victory that tied them for first place at the time and Pete even mentioned this when it happened. The Cleveland/Oakland game even had the Lane Kiffen last second time-out call, something that was relived over and over last night when Dick Jauron tried it on MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL.

#28 - The Browns

They have made strides, but they are not there yet. The loss to the Patriots reminded us of that. But it wasn't awful.

Speaking of Cleveland, Prisco amazingly ranks them at number 28. The Browns are 2-3 so far and those two victories came against Cincy (ranked 22 on his list) and Baltimore (ranked 8!!!). They would have beaten Oakland if it wasn't for that dumb time-out call and they kept it closer than any team has been able to do so far against New England.

Pretty decent if you ask me, yet he ranks them 28th.

# 22 - The Bengals

Question of the week: Did they find a defense during the bye week? It's doubtful.

You have a 1-3 team that is a bad interference call away from being 0-4. They have absolutely no defense, their starting running back is hurt, the star players on offense are arguing, the coach is calling out the team....yet Prisco RAISES them 5 spots after the bye-week. I don't really have a problem that they're ranked 22nd, but how you can bump them up 5 spots after a bye is beyond me.

# 23 - The Bills

That one had to sting in a big way Monday night. But they might have found a quarterback in Trent Edwards. That's reason to have hope.

Funny that he talks about hope because the Bills probably have the least amount of hope right now. Half of the team is injured, they're the victim of the two most gut-raping losses this season (the Jason Elam field goal/Kevin Everett game + last night's game) , they showed absolutely no offense last night and they should be emotionally fucked right now. But Pete wants them to have hope....


# 8 - The Ravens

The defense came alive against the 49ers, but is that hard to do? They need to get more from that offense.

No, that's really not hard to do against San Fran. I've seen Baltimore play 4 times this season and # 8 seems too high for this team. They're 3-2 but that defense seems to have lost its dominance. They barely hung on against Arizona and set offense back 15 years with the performance against San Francisco.

The 'Niners have one of the worst offenses in football this year and even though they lost their starting qb the week before, they still could've won the game if Joe Nedney connected that field goal with 2 minutes left. That doesn't sound like the 8th best team in the league if you ask me.

# 10 - The Giants

Three consecutive victories have this team feeling pretty good. Still want Tom Coughlin fired?

Yes, I'm pretty sure that most Giants fans (and maybe even some players) still want Coughlin out of there. Oh fuck it, I give up....
