It is always interested to note who the bottom five teams are. These are the teams that need to shake things up a bit if they hope to make the playoffs. Jets’ fans may be disheartened to find their team in the bottom five especially with all the hope that surrounded the acquisition of Brett Favre as their new leader. While we are not the least bit surprised to see the Chiefs, Lions and Rams in the bottom five, we still harbor hopes for the Texans. We think this team has more talent than it has shown, and we expect to see improvement and some wins in the near future.
Perhaps, the biggest stunner in this week’s Performance Rankings is the position of the Indianapolis Colts who are just a hair out of the bottom five. Last season, it was almost impossible to bump the Colts out of the top 5 in the Performance Rankings. My, how quickly teams can fall!
Another surprise is that the undefeated Cowboys take the eighth spot. Many would have thought they would occupy one of the top five places, but tough games with the Eagles and the Packers brought down their performance measure a bit.
In the included chart, you will see each team, their win-loss record and the PossessionPoints measure of relative performance which is colored green, yellow or red. A green chart indicates a positive and strong team performance. A yellow chart indicates a mediocre to fair performance and a red chart screams, “Uh, oh. We are in trouble.”
These Performance Ratings are unique because they are based on in-game stats that are present in each game every week. Not present in these performance ratings are any opinion and or subjective measure of any type.
