NFL Power Rankings: WEEK 2 (9/19/08)

NFL Power Rankings: WEEK 2

I'm ranking the NFL every Friday (because working on Friday afternoons sucks, I'll write power rankings while I'm getting paid). My opinion means very little to very many, but I'm giving you what I've got anyway. Here are the power rankings after two weeks of the season:

RK LW TEAM REC COMMENT
1 1 Dallas Cowboys 2-0-0 Dallas remains on top of the NFL after winning a Monday Night thriller
2 2 Pittsburgh Steelers 2-0-0 The defense looks good, Pittsburgh is solid. How is Ben's shoulder?
3 4 New York Giants 2-0-0 New York has held opponents to the lowest total so far out of any NFC team
4 7 Green Bay Packers 2-0-0 Sunday Night will be a real test vs Dallas
5 9 New England Patriots 2-0-0 Cassel doesn't look great, but doesn't look bad either, that's all it takes in NE
6 3 Philadelphia Eagles 1-1-0 The Eagles pushed Dallas to the limit, I'm excited for week 17 (rematch)
7 12 Buffalo Bills 2-0-0 Could Trent Edwards really be the new Jim Kelly?
8 6 Indianapolis Colts 1-1-0 Barely got the win vs MIN, but this team is still a mystery
9 13 Denver Broncos 2-0-0 Luck is part of the equation, so are big balls (Shanahan's OT gamble)
10 14 Carolina Panthers 2-0-0 How far Delhomme goes, so go the Panthers
11 5 New Orleans Saints 1-1-0 Offense is great (10th overall), defense not so much (29th)
12 8 San Diego Chargers 0-2-0 The Chargers have been stung two weeks in a row, now LT's hurting, uh oh.
13 16 Tennessee Titans 2-0-0 Can Kerry Collins really carry this team? I doubt it.
14 20 Arizona Cardinals 2-0-0 Niners, Dolphins aren't quality wins, Hightower is stealing Edge's TDs
15 11 New York Jets 1-1-0 With0-2 San Diego on the schedule, it could be two losses in a row for NYJ
16 10 Jacksonville Jaguars 0-2-0 Jacksonville was the "sleeper" pick in the AFC, they need to wake up
17 17 Chicago Bears 1-1-0 Kyle Orton hasn't lost his job yet, isn't that something
18 23 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1-1-0 I'm tempted to put Tampa ahead of CHI, maybe if they beat them SUN
19 15 Minnesota Vikings 0-2-0 I bet a buddy that Tjack would have a higher QB rating than Orton, opps.
20 27 Washington Redskins 1-1-0 Like most questionable teams, they are only as strong as the QB
21 22 Baltimore Ravens 1-0-0 Getting healthy thanks to a Week 2 bye could really help the Ravens
22 21 Atlanta Falcons 1-1-0 Wow, re-do all fantasy football drafts with Michael Turner No. 1 overall
23 18 Seattle Seahawks 0-2-0 Receiver woes could spell big trouble in Seattle
24 28 San Francisco 49ers 1-1-0 If the Niners want to score, they need to have the ball (only 22 mins SUN)
25 19 Cleveland Browns 0-2-0 When will Browns fans start calling for Brady Quinn?
26 24 Houston Texans 0-1-0 I have Steve Slaton pulling a Chris Johnson impression this weekend vs TEN
27 30 Oakland Raiders 1-1-0 Could it be true? Oakland has a defense?
28 25 Cincinnati Bengals 0-2-0 Palmer hasn't thrown a TD pass yet, I got him throwing at least three in week 3
29 26 Detroit Lions 0-2-0 It's hard to rank this team any higher, or any lower
30 31 Miami Dolphins 0-2-0 Where is the running game in Miami? Or the passing game?
31 29 St. Louis Rams 0-2-0 I refuse to put the Rams last, they have to be better than this
32 32 Kansas City Chiefs 0-2-0 Atlanta this week could mean a win, the only win they could have all year
