Now that we have some sort of gauge on all 32 teams, my power rankings should become a little more accurate. With that said though, you can't get a good feel for teams until the middle of Ocotber. Last week we saw some teams live up to the hype, and we saw some teams not respond so well to the hype. All in all it was an exciting Week 1 that was filled with record-breaking performances. I can't wait for Sunday so that we can see how each team reacts to their success or failure in Week 1. Here are my Week 2 power rankings!
1. Green Bay Packers (1-0): The defending champs looked great last Thursday night. I expect them to build on that success this Sunday when they host the Panthers.
2. New England Patriots (1-0): Brady and Belichick were clicking on all cyllinders during Week 1. If they can get Ochocinco involved in the offense there's no telling what they can do.
3. Baltimore Ravens (1-0): Last Sunday Baltimore sent a huge message to the division rival Steelers. If Joe Flacco can improve more they have as a good a chance as anyone to get to Indianapolis in February.
4. New York Jets (1-0): The Jets survived a scare from the Cowboys last Sunday night. They cannot rest on their laurels and become complacent if they want to keep stride with New England.
5. New Orleans Saints (0-1): Defense is the main issue with this team. Quarterback Drew Brees and the offense are going to have to keep playing lights out football if the Saints want to be a contender.
6. Philadelphia Eagles (1-0): All is well in Philadelphia as long as Mike Vick is making spectacular play. The O-line does need to step up if they want to keep him healthy all year though.
7. Pittsburgh Steelers (0-1): After the humiliation in Baltimore on Sunday, I fully expect the Steelers to take out their anger on the lowly Seahawks at home.
8. San Diego Chargers (1-0): The Chargers can send a huge message to the AFC and the entire league if they can shock the Patriots on the road this Sunday at Foxboro. It's going to be a tough task but I wouldn't count them out.
9. Chicago Bears (1-0): Chicago definitely flexed it's muscles last Sunday when they put the beat down on the Atlanta Falcons. They're going to need more games like that from Jay Cutler if they want to get back to the NFC title game.
10. Dallas Cowboys (0-1): Can Tony Romo forget about the fourth quarter mistakes he made in the Meadowlands and lead this team in the right direction? We'll see this Sunday when they head to the Bay Are to take on the Niners.
