Not sure where Indy is ranked amongst the power rankings, but if their O-Line and Defense continues playing like they did in SF, then look out because they are going to be a force to be reckoned with.

Looks about right with our play so far, can't rely on last years laurels all the time. The 49ers can stay at the bottom for awhile, man I forgot how annoying it gets with them at the top, superbowl or bust. :D
Seahawks, Donkeys, Chiefs... the West is the best.
If we can sneak by the giants..I can easily see us 3-5
Here are the Power Rankings for our division for week 4:

@CBSSports.com
Full Listings1/1(-) Can they be stopped? The Dallas trip this week won't be easy, especially with Dallas coming off a loss, but the way Denver is playing it's hard to imagine a loss there. Denver ESPN.com
Full Listings1/2(+1) Peyton Manning has missed (over or underthrown) on 14 throws this season. Since the start of 2008, QBs have missed at least 14 throws in a single game 36 times. Broncos Brian Billick
@FoxSpots.com
Full Listings1/2(+1) Peyton Manning is on track to throw 64 touchdowns this season and while I don't think he will maintain that pace, I do honestly believe he will finish the year with 55 or more.
http://i.usatoday.net/_common/_image...chiefs_50t.png Pete Prisco
@CBSSports.com5/6(+1) At 4-0, they head to October on a high note that has been keyed by the defense. Is Andy Reid the Coach of the Quarter? Kansas_City ESPN.com 5/8(+3) This offense can be effective running to set up play-action, as it was Sunday. After play-action fakes, Alex Smith finished 6-of-10 for 92 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Chiefs Brian Billick
@FoxSports.com5/7(+2) In just four games this season, the Chiefs have doubled their win total from a year ago and are giving up just 10 points per game. They are legit.
http://i.usatoday.net/_common/_image...argers_50t.png Pete Prisco
@CBSSports.com17/19(+2) Philip Rivers showed against the Cowboys why he is still a top-level quarterback. It's amazing what he does with no weapons San_Diego ESPN.com 17/19(+2) Philip Rivers connected on nine of 11 throws deeper than 10 yards downfield for three touchdowns Sunday. Four Chargers had multiple catches on those throws, something the team never did last year. Chargers Brian Billick
@FoxSports.com16/19(+3) For the second time this season, the Chargers had 500+ yards of total offense and Philip Rivers threw for more than 400. Rivers now owns the record for the best completion percentage in a 400-yard passing game.

@CBSSports.com28/26(-2) They found out how much worse they are without Terrelle Pryor. Imagine saying that before the season? Oakland ESPN.com 30/28(+2) Matt Flynn took seven sacks Sunday, as many as Terrelle Pryor had all season. Flynn was sacked on 18 percent of drop-backs, second-highest of anyone in a game this season. Raiders Brian Billick
@FoxSports.com31/31(-) Matt Flynn is who we thought he was.
Exactly where our record shows us. Weakest of the 5 unbeaten teams
Chiefs move up a little and Prisco over-reacts (as usual) to the Raiders beating the Chargers.
Here are the Power Rankings for our division for Week 5:

@CBSSports.com
Full Listings1/1(-) They were pushed to the limits, and the defense was exposed against the Cowboys, but that won't be an issue this week against the Jaguars. How ugly will it get? Denver ESPN.com
Full Listings1/1(-) The Broncos scored 51 points. Peyton Manning completed 78.6 percent of 42 attempts for 414 yards and four touchdowns Sunday. Broncos receivers amassed 205 yards after catches. None of those are season highs. Broncos Brian Billick
@FoxSpots.com
Full Listings1/1(-) The Broncos have scored 50+ points in back-to-back weeks. With the Jaguars on the schedule this weekend, can we go ahead and say it's three consecutive weeks?
http://i.usatoday.net/_common/_image...chiefs_50t.png Pete Prisco
@CBSSports.com3/5(+2) Alex Smith is doing a lot of things right and that defense gets after the quarterback. The schedule is soft coming up too. Kansas_City ESPN.com 3/5(+2) This defense is for real. Kansas City's 21 sacks and minus-3 TD-Int differential are both tops in the league. Back-to-back tests are coming, hosting Oakland and Houston. Chiefs Brian Billick
@FoxSports.com4/5(+1) This defense is for real. Kansas City's 21 sacks and minus-3 TD-Int differential are both tops in the league. Back-to-back tests are coming, hosting Oakland and Houston.
http://i.usatoday.net/_common/_image...argers_50t.png Pete Prisco
@CBSSports.com25/17(-8) That was a bad loss at Oakland as a favorite. Their fast start sure has faded quickly. San_Diego ESPN.com 20/17(-3) Philip Rivers had three career 400-yard passing games before reaching 400 in three of his past four games. The problem Sunday was his three interceptions (third-career 3-INT game). Chargers Brian Billick
@FoxSports.com20/16(-4) In his first nine seasons in the NFL, Philip Rivers threw for 400 yards just three times. He now has three 400-yard games this season.
http://i.usatoday.net/_common/_image...aiders_50t.png Pete Prisco
@CBSSports.com24/28(+4) Terrelle Pryor has really given this team some life. I like the way he played against the Chargers. He was so good they cut Matt Flynn. Oakland ESPN.com 24/28(+4) Terrelle Pryor was pretty good while everyone was asleep. His 18-of-23 passing and two touchdowns paced an impressive win, and Pryor's 54 Total QBR ranks 14th in the league this year. Raiders Brian Billick
@FoxSports.com26/31(+5) Terrelle Pryor actually showed some good arm action on Sunday night. But the fact that the Raiders went after Josh Freeman should tell you exactly what they think about Pryor being the long-term starter.
And our next opponent ...

Lol and the raiders beat sd and are behind them..wow
This is as high as we are going to go until we beat the Donkeys ... unless somebody else beats them first!
Here are the Power Rankings for our division after Week 6:

@CBSSports.com
Full Listings1/1(-) It wasn't as easy as expected, but they got the job done against Jacksonville. Now Peyton Manning returns to Indianapolis. Ready for the hype? Denver ESPN.com
Full Listings1/1(-) Circle Week 11. Indy presents a nice story, but Washington, a bye and San Diego are also between now and the Broncos' all-important first meeting with the 6-0 Chiefs.. Broncos Brian Billick
@FoxSpots.com
Full Listings1/1(-) Denver has the No. 1 scoring offense, total offense and passing offense -- but also the worst passing defense, the 29th ranked total defense and the 24th ranked scoring defense. They are beatable.
http://i.usatoday.net/_common/_image...chiefs_50t.png Pete Prisco
@CBSSports.com2/3(+1) Andy Reid has done a heck of a job with this team. I love watching that defense feast on quarterbacks. Kansas_City ESPN.com 2/3(+1) Is it Week 11 yet? Kansas City's elite defense kept rolling Sunday, but the Chiefs face Houston, Cleveland, Buffalo and the bye week before finally meeting Peyton's Broncos. Chiefs Brian Billick
@FoxSports.com2/4(+2) The Chiefs had 10 sacks on Sunday. They now have 31 on the season...four more than they had all of last year!
http://i.usatoday.net/_common/_image...argers_50t.png Pete Prisco
@CBSSports.com22/25(+3) That was an impressive victory Monday night for the Chargers. They ran it and played good defense. Where did that come from? San_Diego ESPN.com 15/20(+5) Keenan Allen had career highs in targets (12) and receptions (nine) in Monday's win. Philip Rivers was 7-for-7 targeting Allen 5 yards or fewer downfield. Chargers Brian Billick
@FoxSports.com16/20(+4) Ryan Mathews broke the 100-yard rushing mark for the first time since Week 14 of 2011.
http://i.usatoday.net/_common/_image...aiders_50t.png Pete Prisco
@CBSSports.com27/24(-3) That offensive line was horrible against Kansas City. They let a good defensive effort go to waste. Oakland ESPN.com 26/24(-2) Terrelle Pryor was sacked 10 times Sunday, the most since Greg McElroy was sacked 11 times in Week 16 last year. Only five quarterbacks since 2001 have reached double digits. Raiders Brian Billick
@FoxSports.com29/31(-3) The Raiders never reached the redzone on Sunday and had a season-high 11 penalties in the game.
And our next opponent ...
http://i.usatoday.net/_common/_image...texans_50t.png Pete Prisco
@CBSSports.com20/17(-3) How low can they go? And this time they couldn't even blame it on Matt Schaub. Houston ESPN.com 22/17(-5) Out goes Matt Schaub, in comes T.J. Yates ... and yet another pick-six. The comedy of errors that is the Texans right now probably won't look much better at Arrowhead in Week 7. Texans Brian Billick
@FoxSports.com16/20(-4) You get your wish, Houston.
Be real nice if the Colts would do us a favor this week!!!
