Winners and Losers - NFL week 5

Well, we're through the first 5 weeks of the season, and I thought I'd mix it up a little. Instead of the past week, I'm going to look more at what I've learned so far this season.

First off, the biggest surprises:

• Gotta go with the Broncos on this one. I really thought Josh McDaniels might be looking for a new job next year. Not just for losing games, but more so running off Jay Cutler and potentially Brandon Marshall then losing games.
• For the first few weeks I was in denial, but then they beat Dallas and New England I had to eat the proverbial crow. Looking back, the lucky tip in game one may have not been luck after all, but instead the arrival of Johnny 'Good' Karma.
• Second, the Bengals. Yep, 4-1. Hard Knocks that shit.
• Miami is still winning games with the wildcat. Pretty amazing.
• The 49'er's are showing up to play, and playing hard. Welcome back San Francisco.
• Oh yeah, that Brett Farve game against Green Bay. Really didn't think he had it in him.

Disappointments:

• Well, you don't have to look any further than my hometown of Nashville, TN. 13-3 to 0-5, and it's not going to get any easier when they head to Foxboro on Sunday. The window of opportunity in Tennessee has shut and the question is, where do they go from here. First stop - probably a quarterback in the first round of the 2010 draft.
• The Oakland Raiders have actually digressed. How is that even possible?
• The Carolina Panthers. Very similar to the Titans in a way. Too much talent to be losing.
• The Colts are still good. Damn it man.
