How early is too early to push the panic button on the 2023 NFL season? There are some teams who are on a sinking ship without a vest, and they don’t know it.

When is it time for your favorite NFL team to push the panic button? Right about now. We’re heading into week five of the 2023 NFL season, and teams are separating themselves. Things are taking shape with teams separating themselves. It all starts at the quarterback position in the NFL, but it isn’t the be-all-end-all. We have a few teams on the right path, like the Philadelphia Eagles.

As it stands, the Eagles are the only undefeated team in the NFL. Jalen Hurts has taken a massive step in the right direction. And it doesn’t hurt when the team has one of the best offensive lines and defenses in the NFL. Simply put, they are the best team in the NFL right now. The other halves are the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, and Green Bay Packers, who have three of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

There was a time when NFL media and Cowboys fans pushed the panic butting. However, America’s team is surviving their shipwreck thanks to their defense and a life vest named Cooper Rush. The Miami Dolphins would have made the list if there was any indication that Tua Tagovailoa was done for the season. However, Teddy Bridgewater is a serviceable backup with elite weapons and a good defense.

Bridgewater can help leave the Fins with a commanding lead in the AFC East.  Then, there are the teams that don’t have enough to survive what’s coming. The teams with expectations they won’t live up to.
