NFL Power rankings Week 2...

1. Baltimore Ravens (2-0) (lw #3)- Joe Flacco has the offense on par with the defense and they and he looks more confident in the pocket
2. Indianapolis Colts (2-0) (lw # 4)- They won by only running 34 total plays so that tells you how dangerous this team can be, the defense bent but did not break which is a good sign for Manning
3. New York Giants (2-0) (lw #8)- Won consecutive close games and they continue to find ways to win games and with their next 3 games against Tampa Bay, KC, and Oakland they could 5-0 before they get into the real meat of their schedule
4. Atlanta Falcons (2-0) (lw #9)- Ryan is avoiding a sophomore slump but their schedule is about to pick up with no "pancake" on their schedule until week 12
5. New Orleans Saints (2-0) (lw #11)- No one can stop the offense and if the defense can continue to make stops this may be the teams year
6. Minnesota Vikings (2-0) (lw #7)- An easy start to the season and have looked good but 6 of their next 7 games will test their true mettle
7. Pittsburgh Steelers (1-1) (lw #1)- Blew a road win and they have to travel to Cincinnati for an early divisional game, they cannot afford to beat themselves again
8. San Diego Chargers (1-1) (lw #6)- Lost a home contest that they could have won and found out that the rest of their schedule will not be as easy as when they play their division: up next is a home game against the Dolphins then they travel to Pittsburgh
9. Philadelphia Eagles (1-1) (lw #5)- The offense looked just as stellar without McNabb but the defense could not stop Brees, a home game against the Chiefs should help them this week plus Michael Vick is allowed to return to the field for the first time in 2 years
10. San Francisco 49ers (2-0) (lw #14)- They have taken on the personality of their coach and they are winning with a tough style of gritty football
11. New York Jets (2-0) (lw #19)- Have found ways to win and Rex Ryan looks like he has the defense prepared to stop any offense
12. Denver Broncos (2-0) (lw #17)- They are not pretty when they win but in the NFL its not about style points
13. New England Patriots (1-1) (lw #2)- Tom Brady is not back to what he once was and it looks like the defensive departures are hurting more than everyone thought
14. Arizona Cardinals (1-1) (lw # 18)- Kurt Warner and the offense appear to be on the same page again but a home contest with Colts could derail their momentum
15. Dallas Cowboys (1-1) (lw #13)- Once again the Cowboys lose a big game with Tony Romo as their quarterback
16. Seattle Seahawks (1-1) (lw #12)- Hasselbeck is out with some broken ribs which severely limits this teams potential
17. Green Bay Packers (1-1) (lw #10)- Blew what should have been a big win for them but they sould rebound this week since facing the Rams should be a cure all for any team
18. Chicago Bears (1-1) (lw #20)- The Bears were handed the game but a win is a win and Cutler has confidence again which is a bad sight for the NFC North
19. Houston Texans (1-1) (lw #26)- Rebounded from a bad home loss by winning a divisional road game and the offense found it's stride
20. Buffalo Bills (1-1) (lw # 24)- One play away from a 2-0 start, we'll see if the Bills are serious or not after a home game this week against the Saints
21. Tennessee Titans (0-2) (lw #15)- Being 0-2 for this team is very disappointing since they had serious Super Bowl aspirations
22. Miami Dolphins (0-2) (lw # 16)- 2 straight loses to playoff teams are tough to swallow for them but being in an 0-2 hole certainly hurts their chances of returning to the playoffs
23. Cincinnati Bengals (1-1) (lw #31)- They won on the road but the Packers lost it more than the Bengals won it
24. Washington Redskins (1-1) (lw #21)- Yes they won but it was against the Rams and they only scored 9 points
25. Carolina Panthers (0-2) (lw #23)- Looked better than in Week 1 but they still aren't up to snuff with the talent on this team
26. Jacksonville Jaguars (0-2) (lw #22)- Lost at home, the offense couldn't score and the defense couldn't stop anyone
27. Oakland Raiders (1-1) (lw # 27)- Sure they won but when your "franchise" QB throws 7-24 for 104 yards and you rush for less than 70 yards, you're a bad team
28. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-2) (lw # 25)- Were out manned by the Bills who were still without Marshawn Lynch
29. Detroit Lions (0-2) (lw # 28)- Had the lead at halftime and they contained AP most of the game but Stafford is still going through his learning pains
30. Cleveland Browns (0-2) (lw #29)- The offense is terrible and the defense found another way to lose the game in the fourth quarter
31. Kansas City Chiefs (0-2) (lw #30)- Had the lead at home and blew it against a bad Oakland team even though they dominated statistically
32. St. Louis Rams (0-2) (lw #32)- Put up a good fight but it still wasn't enough and the offense is offensive
