Three weeks down. Here's how the teams stack up according to me.

2.   Green Bay Packers: 3-0
3.   Arizona Cardinals: 3-0
4.   Cincinnati Bengals: 3-0
5.   Denver Broncos: 3-0
6.   Atlanta Falcons: 3-0
7.   Minnesota Vikings: 2-1
8.   Buffalo Bills: 2-1
9.   Carolina Panthers: 3-0
10. New York Jets: 2-1
11. Dallas Cowboys: 2-1
12. Pittsburgh Steelers: 2-1
13. Seattle Seahawks: 1-2
14. Indianapolis Colts: 1-2
15. Oakland Raiders: 2-1
16. San Diego Chargers: 1-2

19. St. Louis Rams: 1-2
20. Tennessee Titans: 1-2
21. Philadelphia Eagles: 1-2
22. Washington Redskins: 1-2
23. Baltimore Ravens: 0-3

25. San Francisco 49ers: 1-2
26. Jacksonville Jaguars: 1-2
27. Houston Texans: 1-2
28. Miami Dolphins: 1-2
29. Cleveland Browns: 1-2

31. New Orleans Saints: 0-3
32. Chicago Bears: 0-3

The Patriots are the only team that's certain to remain undefeated after next week's games. They have their bye next week. Week Four is a ridiculous time to start the bye weeks. The Broncos have the biggest obstacle to remaining undefeated. They host the Vikings. The remaining undefeated teams have the following matchups next week:
Packers @ 49ers
Cardinals vs Rams
Bengals vs Chiefs
Falcons vs Texans
Panthers @ Buccaneers
The Packers and Panthers appear to have the easiest road to 4-0 but you never really know. The NFL is very much a week-to-week league.

Injuries impact every football season. After only three weeks injuries have already jumbled the top of the NFL food chain. The Cowboys and Steelers have already lost their star quarterbacks and team leaders for large chunks of the season. Tony Romo and Ben Roethlisberger had their teams as serious playoff and even Super Bowl contenders. That changes with Brandon Weeden and Michael Vick under center.

The Seahawks are far better than the #13 ranking but they won their first game of the season this past Sunday. They need to get over .500 before they get ranked where they should. The same is true for the Colts but they have even more proving to do. The Colts have played decent football for only one of their twelve quarters of football action.

It's still way too early to get any solid thoughts on any of these teams. Nearly everyone had written off the Patriots after four games last year.
