Week 2
1. Green Bay Packers- Don't judge by the final score, Green Bay was in complete control of that game.
2. New England Patriots- We forget Tom Brady had an int, but that was one of the greatest QB performances in the last 10 years none the less.
3. Philadelphia Eagles- They beat a Rams team that turned into a M*A*S*H unit by the 3rd quarter. Vick did the things he needed to do.
4. Baltimore Ravens- The Ravens made a statement by blowing out the Steelers because this is a rivalry where the games are always close.
5. New Orleans Saints- Drew Brees had one of the best games, and the Saints still lost. They can't play defense, can anyone in the NFC South?
6. Houston Texans- They've started out the season strong. The question is can they maintain it...
7. Pittsburgh Steelers- I think they'll bounce back, and they certainly not forget the Ravens running up the score on them.
8. San Diego Chargers- Phillip Rivers continues to be a damn good QB as the Chargers look to cakewalk through that division.
9. New York Jets- Sorry Rex. The Cowboys lost that game. After a huge interception by Revis, how can you only gain 2 yards to set up a game winning 56 yard field goal?
10. Atlanta Falcons- Ouch. But, then again, they're not designed to win outdoor, smash-mouth football.
11. Chicago Bears- Every time I want to doubt then, they step it up and prove me wrong. A strong win.
12. Detroit Lions- Don't adjust your set. If my power rankings determined the playoffs, the Lions would be in.
13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- They'll still be good. In a hard fought game against the Lions, they came up just short.
14. Dallas Cowboys- They played well enough to win... for 51 minutes. Romo can't make those mistakes and expect to win. They move up because so many fell past them.
15. Arizona Cardinals- Kolb played well, but it was a team effort, despite Cam Newton's atomic passing numbers.
16. St. Louis Rams- They were in the game until the injuries began to pile up. It means a lot that a healthy Rams team could match up with the Eagles.
17. Jacksonville Jaguars- Despite the controversy and QB drama, they stepped it up and played well.
18. Oakland Raiders- I think they could be the 13th best team, but we penalized them 5 spots on a false start.
19. Indianapolis Colts- I'm giving them a reprieve at #19. I hear Peyton has a brother not named Eli, maybe they should call him.
20. San Francisco 49ers- Ted Ginn sighting! Harbaugh did well in his opening game.
21. New York Giants- Coughlin's job is on the line I think. Losing to Rex Grossman's Redskins is not going to help.
22. Miami Dolphins- Chad Henne proved his doubters wrong, at least until next week.
23. Buffalo Bills- There are pornos that do a better job, rather than my words, of explaining what the Bills did to the Chiefs.
24. Kansas City Chiefs- I don't care how many players they have injured, I have never seen a team more listless on opening day, especially at home.
25. Washington Redskins- Rex Grossman had a good gam.... gam... gam............ I can't bring myself to finish that sentence.
26. Cincinnati Bengals- They won. Barely. But they won. Who knows how many more times that will happen this season.
27. Minnesota Vikings- I had more passing yards than Donovan McNabb.
28. Seattle Seahawks- They're not that good, but 2 kick returns in less that a minute... really?!
29. Carolina Panthers- Of the bottom 4 teams, they had the most respectable loss. For them, that might as well count as a win.
30. Cleveland Browns- A common theme for the week: teams failing to take advantage when they could have won.
31. Denver Bronocs- They lost by 3. As a Broncos fan, it felt like 100 points.
32. Tennessee Titans- They fall for failing to take advantage of a depleted Jaguars squad.
