Week 2 Power Rankings
1 New York Giants 2-0 So much for missing Plaxico Burress, Steve Smith and Mario Manningham are becoming very reliable targets for Eli Manning.
2 New Orleans Saints 2-0 It's one thing to light up the Lions, quite another to do it to the Eagles. I believe.
3 Atlanta Falcons 2-0 Losing Peria Jerry for the season hurts, but they still have one of the most exciting offenses in the NFL, but the defense is green.
4 Minnesota Vikings 2-0 I don't think Brett Favre can win this team a game when it counts. But they have the most dangerous player in football who can.
5 Baltimore Ravens 2-0 I am starting to come around on Mike's team- the Ravens. Flacco is developing into an elite QB and the run game is better than ever. However, I continue to question whether this defense is still elite.
6 Pittsburgh Steelers 1-1 Due to a Jeff Reed melt down, they are not 2-0. More worrysome, however, is the fact that they have no run game.
7 Indianapolis Colts 2-0 If the Colts have any QB other than Manning, outside of Brees, they are at best an 8-8 team. The Defense is porous and Manning has limited offensive weapons. But, bottom line, they are 2-0.
8 New York Jets 2-0 One of the best defenses in football, a solid run game and a QB who knows how to minimize mistakes and win games. This team is for real.
9 Philadelphia Eagles 1-1 Is New Orleans really that good, or is Philly not as good as we thought?
10 San Diego Chargers 1-1 Tough loss to the Ravens. The run game has not been effective, the defense just isn't strong and they have one of the worst coaches in football. Right now, they are not a SB contender.
11 San Francisco 49ers 2-0 The 49ers are quietly becoming a good football team.
12 Dallas Cowboys 1-1 Well the Cowboys blew their last game in the old stadium, and Tony Romo blew their debut in the new palace.
13 New England Patriots 1-1 Brady is human. Moss looked uninterested in the game. The defense is no longer elite. This could be trouble.
14 Chicago Bears 1-1 Jeff Reed helped them, but Jay Cutler responded this week.
15 Green Bay Packers 1-1 Losing to the Bengals at home? It's not like they were looking ahead to the Rams next week.
16 Cincinnati Bengals 1-1 The Bengals should be 2-0. Benson is a beast (I'm going to let that set in for a second. The defense is stout. But Palmer needs to minimize mistakes.
17 Arizona Cardinals 1-1 There's the Cardinals offense we know.
18 Houston Texans 1-1 Great bounce back effort for Schaub and the offense. Slaton should start to get going too. But this defense has to start stopping people.
19 Tennessee Titans 0-2 How do you lose when your RB puts up nearly 300 yards of offense? Maybe this defense really does miss Haynesworth.
20 Buffalo Bills 1-1 Fred Jackson is blowing up. If Trent Edwards can continue to develop into a quality starting QB, we could be looking at a borderline playoff team. But I need to see more.
21 Denver Broncos 2-0 Despite the record, neither mike nor I are convinced yet. If Russell plays well and they still beat the Raiders next week, then I may come around.
22 Oakland Raiders 1-1 It's all about Russell and the passing game. The defense is proving to be a formidable unit and they have the ingrediants for a top rushing attack. But Russell has to make the developmental jump.
23 Miami Dolphins 0-2 Fought hard in a loss to the Colts. Still, this team cannot consistently move the ball through the air and their rushing effectiveness was more attributable to a bad Colts run D.
24 Seattle Seahawks 1-1 Another season, another Hasselbeck injury.
25 Washington Redskins 0-2 Would I be surprised to see the Lions pull of the upset Sunday? No.
26 Carolina Panthers 0-2 Jake Delhomme survived without 5 turnovers, that was a victory in itself
27 Jacksonville Jaguars 0-2 MJD seems to be the only bright spot on this team. This is FO projections team most likely to move to LA in the next two years.
28 Kansas City Chiefs 0-2 They couldn't beat the Raiders despite gaining substantially more yards on offense and JaMarcus Russell turning in his worst game as a pro. Turnovers proved to be the difference in this game.
29 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 0-2 This team has the tools to be a spoiler, but they are a few years away from being a contender.
30 Detroit Lions 0-2 The Lions are going to win 2 games this year.
31 Cleveland Browns 0-2 The clock is ticking for Brady Quinn. One more bad game and Derek Anderson might be guy from here on out. FO Projections thinks that would be a good call.
32 St. Louis Rams 0-2 It's a shame Steven Jackson is rotting away the prime of his career here.
