Power Rankings
Although Power Rankings can found on several different sites, I thought it was neccesary to go ahead and do my own power rankings, because I think others are scewed. Enjoy, unless you are a Raiders fan (Dan).
1)Colts 3-o
Peyton Manning isn't only the league's most marketable player, he is also the league's most valuable player. Nobody means more to their team than him.
2)Seahawks 3-0
It really says something when a team can beat the living piss out of the Giants; a legitamate contender in the NFC. Not good that Alexander is hurt though, Madden Curse?
3)Bengals 3-0
Chad Johnson might not be getting the numbers he wants, but he's drawing double teams and that's good for everyone else. Going into Pittsburgh and winning is no easy task.
4)Chargers 2-0
They have had a bye week, and have played two subpar opponents in Tennessee and Oakland. Still, in those two games Rivers, Merriman, Gates, and LT have all looked phenomenal.
5)Bears 3-0
Their defense is good enough to keep them in games, and Rex Grossman is only going to get better. If this team ever runs it like they did last year, they will be tough.
6)Jaguars 2-1
Anybody who can go into Indy and give Manning and the boys a tough game is good. Underrated defense that held the potent Colts offense to 21. Not quite at the Colts level yet.
7)Eagles 2-1
This team could, and probably should be, 3-0. They let up against the Giants, and it might be a game they regret all season. McNabb looked good, even with Stallworth sidelined for the game.
8)Ravens 3-0
I hate to put them this high because I don't think they're very good, but they are 3-0. Still, don't expect much in a division with Pittsburgh and Cincinnatti lurking.
9)Broncos 2-1
I know, I'm a little biased. That said, how many teams walk into Foxboro and stomp on Brady and the Pats? Javon Walker has already proven to me that he is a game breaker.
10)Saints 3-0
Monday night was all emotion. When Atlanta plays them in the Georgia dome see what happens. In the meantime this 3-0 team beat Green Bay and Cleveland, congratulations.
11)Falcons 2-1
They have to be behind the Saints after Monday, but they had better find a new scheme. If the Saints can shut them down, I'm sure Carolina and Tampa Bay can.
12)Patriots 2-1
They shouldv'e lost to the Bills in week 1. Clearly the departures of Branch and Givens is having an effect. Plus, you never can lose at home, especially like that, they got a swift kick in the ass.
13)Giants 1-2
In the last quarter or so, this team is unstoppable. They just have to learn how to start games like they finish them. Plus Indy, Philly, Seattle, is no easy way to start a schedule.
14)Vikings 2-1
Defense is surprisingly dominant, and they seem to be doing just enough to win. Except last week when Florida alum stuck it to them. GO REX!!!!!
15)Pittsburgh 1-2
Their record isn't very good, but as soon as Big Ben gets back on track they will be great. If they run the ball opposed to throwing it in the redzone, they would've won that game.
16)Panthers 1-2
Like the Steelers, I feel it is just a matter of time before this team goes on an 11 game win streak. Not to mention Steve Smith has already proven they are a different team with him.
17)Rams 2-1
They beat the Broncos, but the once high octane Rams offense has recently morphed into a grind it out offense. No problem with Stephen Jackson in the backfield, he's a horse. Tom and Nathan Should've drafted him over James in the fantasy draft. Take Notes.
Honestly, Tom and Nathan are 40% of my readers, so I hope they read that. More so directed at Nathan because he is Cardinal biased.
18)Cowboys 1-1
With T.O. they are a great team with a balanced offense and strong defense. Without him, they're still a good defense with a mediocre offense. Come on though, we want ROMO!
19)Redskins 1-2
Clearly Clinton Portis is a playmaker in Washington. Maybe the media lit a fire under Brunnell, but after ciritcizing him, he goes ahead and breaks single game records. Sean Taylor is cool too.
20)Jets 2-1
I don't like the Jets, one bit. The Bills should have won that game. They outplayed them in every aspect but turnovers, but I guess that's kind of a big deal in the NFL. Vilma is no DJ Williams.
21)Bills 1-2
They have outplayed their opponents three times, and have one win to show for it. That's the difference between good teams and bad teams. Young fast defense though, and they look great so far. Lot's of learning to do though. Losman has to hold onto the ball when he feels pressure.
22)Cardinals 1-2
I feel like they have the ability to score 40 a game, but I don't think that matters with their defense. Fitzgerald and Boldin are nasty, but is Warner the guy that's going to deliver?
23)Chiefs 0-2
Tough schedule so far (in Cincinatti, and in Denver). Things will most likely change when they square off with San Francisco in Arrowhead this week. They need Trent Green to comeback.
24)Dolphins 1-2
I was wrong about this team, but if Caulpepper ever does good, they will be fine. But that is a pretty big "if" considering he hasn't done anything since his days with Moss.
25)49ers 1-2
Although they're not expecting to win many games, they are playing teams tough. Alex Smith, Frank Gore, and Vernon Davis have already sparked some life in the downtrodden francise out west.
26) Buccaneers 0-3
Without Simms, they are in trouble. Throw in a beaten up Cadillac Williams, and they're hopeless. Good luck to them in their upcoming games, they will need it.
27)Packers 1-2
This one is for you Tom. I know how much you love the Packers. You were right all along about Javon Walker, he really is the best reciever in the NFL. Good luck in basketball this year.
28)Browns 0-3
Although they actually had a chance to win (by chance I mean, absolutely should have won) but they gave it away. Is Frye the man, or do you think they are waiting on a kid named Quinn?
29)Lions 0-3
Roy Williams guarantees wins, but isn't ridiculed enough. They're not a very good team, no matter how awesome Williams is. He should be poked and laughed at like thirteen times or so.
30)Texans 0-3
Get this, the highest rated quarterback in the NFL is David Carr. But seriously, it's almost funny how awful that Mario Williams pick looks now. I'm laughing about it.
31)Titans 0-3
When is the Vince Young era going to begin in Tennessee? Who cares, certainly none of my readers, because nobody is going to read about the Titans. If you see this IM me or comment.
32)Raiders 0-16
I felt it was neccessary to throw it out there. The Tampa Bay Yucks got the champaign on ice as they watch each Raider game. It's compelling to see how bad a team can be during one game.
