Are you there God? It's me, ________.

Insert any of the following teams into the blank and you will have the headlining titles for all of the leagues 0-3 teams.

The Colts
The Colts have yet to win a game.  Last week they did manage to keep it close as they battled the Pittsburgh Steelers.  In my opinion, the highlight of the game was resorting the the third string QB, Painter, who may see a lot of playing time this week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  Painter had 5 completions for 60 yards in week 3.  Manning was sitting up in the booth last week, let's see if he can guide the young QB to a win.

The Rams
The Rams started the season with a lot of buzz.  I never really understood why.  Last week the Rams were politely shown the door in Baltimore as they lost 37-7.  However, I do think the Rams may be able to pull off a win today against the Washington Redskins.  Rams have a bye week in week 5, a win going into the bye would be HUGE for locker room moral, it might even create some.

The Vikings
If football games were only played for two quarters at a time, the Vikings would have a perfect season.  They have been unstoppable in the first two quarters, but as they emerge from the locker room in the second half it is as though all the air has been deflated from their viking ship sails and the team is coming down off a first half high.  Donovan Mcnabb still hasn't found a rhythm with his new team.  After getting shut out in the second half against the Detroit Lions last weekend, the Viking have a lot of explaining to do to the fans in Minnesota.  This week, the Vikings travel to Kansas City to play the Chiefs who are also 0-3.  The good news here is someone has to come out of this game a winner... unless they tie.

The Chiefs
Kansas City was embarrassed in the first two weeks of the season losing to the Bills and the Lions by more than 30 points in each game.  Last week, they played a closer game against the San Diego Chargers losing by 3 points.  Maybe the Chiefs are about to find their groove and fire away on all cylinders. This week in order to win, the Chiefs have to take advantage of the Vikings weak second half performances.

The Dolphins
The Dolphins are 7th in rushing yards so far this year.  The questions is, where have they been rushing to, because it hasn't been the endzone.  Last week they lost to the Browns, a team I'm not fond of because I'm not exactly sure what a "Brown" is.  Is that really the best, most intimidating name a franchise can come up with, really?  Anyway, this week the Dolphins are traveling to San Diego to look for a win against the 2-1 Chargers.  Chargers are tough at home, and Dolphins are not typically aggressive animals.  The football team hasn't shown that can be either.
