NFL Power Rankings: Philadelphia Teams and the 3 Teams in Freefall

It's really hard to explain. 

After Week 5, the Philadelphia Eagles look more like Andrew Luck contenders than playoff contenders and are wasting away all the talent they have on their roster. 

They aren't the only team in freefall. 

Let's dissect these teams that are rapidly becoming the laughingstocks of the NFL.

Philadelphia Eagles

Where to start?

The Eagles moved the ball against the Bills on Sunday, but Fred Jackson accounted for nearly 200 yards of total offense, and turnovers thrashed any chance Philadelphia had to win in Buffalo. 

The Bills dominated the first three quarters and ultimately made the bigger plays in crunch time en route to victory. 

Philadelphia is failing to do the little things, the fundamentals, to win games.

Some turnovers can be a fluke, sure, but the Eagles are -10 in turnover differential through five games.

Coincidence? I think so. 

Dream Teams don't start 1-4. 

Indianapolis Colts

In the first half, the Colts looked like the Colts of old with Curtis Painter doing his finest Peyton Manning impression yet. 

Then the wheels fell off. 

Kansas City has rebounded nicely after their disastrous start and were the more explosive team after falling behind 24-7. 

If Indianapolis can't win a home game in which it led by 17 points twice, there's no telling when they'll get that first win. 

Arizona Cardinals

They beat Cam Newton and the Panthers in Week 1, and haven't got a win since. 

Minnesota came out flying while Arizona was extremely flat. 

28-0 after the first quarter?

Embarrassing.

The Kevin Kolb experiment is failing, and the defense cannot stop opposing running backs or receivers. 

In what was supposed to be a wide-open NFC West, the Cardinals already see themselves three games behind the 49ers.
