I don't think there are any great teams in the league not named the Patriots. After them, there are a bunch of good teams. There is only one elite team in the league right now.....and they will still be the only elite team in the league even after they lose in Pittsburgh this weekend.

Well I would consider the Eagles to be an elite team too. The Patriots so far have had two games against tough opponents (Colts & Jets) and both of those were at home. The Patriots don't really blow teams out of the water, they just win every week. The Eagles have won every game so far too, and the fact that they don't kill everyone every week shouldn't count against them. I'll admit that the Eagles have only played one good team (Vikings) thus far but they've also beat teams like the Lions and Giants who have reasonable records against other teams. From what I've seen from every other team so far this year I would have to consider the Eagles to be a elite team in this league. They may not have been an elite team against the league in past seasons, but this year they look to be that way.
