Nate's NFL Power Ratings-Week 2

By Nate Sandstrom

This week's power ratings are complete with Chargers fan bias.

1. Dallas (2-0,1). Win against Eagles on Monday reaffirms dominance.
2. Philadelphia (1-1, 4). DeSean Jackson is still good.
3. Green Bay (2-0, 2). Maybe Rodgers is better than Favre. Brian Brohm, too.
4. San Diego (0-2, 3). Robbed!
5. New England (2-0, 6). I still don't believe in Cassel.
6. Pittsburgh (2-0, 5). Unimpressive against Browns.
7. N.Y. Giants (2-0, 8). I guess they actually are good.
8. Arizona (2-0, 12). Just pay Boldin,
9. Buffalo (2-0, 14). Remember 2003? This time, first two weeks may not be fluke.
10. Indianapolis (1-1, 11). Hey, they won the Super Bowl with no run defense.
11. Denver (2-0, 15). I H8 CUTLER!
12. New Orleans (1-1, 7). Brees can't throw that many bad passes again, can he?
13. Carolina (2-0, 9). Undefeated without Steve Smith? Brilliant move Fox.
14. Washington (1-1, 16). Comeback against Saints shows signs of life.
15. Minnesota (0-2, 13). 2nd half meltdown frustrates, but I'm not giving up on them.
16. Chicago (1-1, 10). Hester's hurt. Uh-oh.
17. Jacksonville (0-2, 18). May be one of those disappointing years.
18. Tampa Bay (1-1, 20). Why does Gruden hate all his QBs?
19. San Francisco (1-1, 29). Somehow the second-best team in NFC West.
20. N.Y. Jets (1-1, 17). Over-spended! Over-spended!
21. Baltimore (1-0, 24). Would've gone to Super Bowl if it wasn't for that hurricane. Just ask Mark.
22. Houston (0-1, 21). Ask the 2005 Saints how dealing with a hurricane works out?
23. Tennessee (2-0, 19). You will all know Chris Johnson soon.
24. Cleveland (0-2, 25). Greenberg actually refered to them as a Super Bowl contender this spring. That's one example of why I favor Fox Sports in the morning. (1370 in B-more).
25. Seattle (0-2, 22). Memo to Jim Mora Jr.: Ask Dad how to talk about losses after the game. It will make things more fun. For me.
26. Miami (0-2, 23). What if they actually lost more games this year?
27. Atlanta (1-1, 26). At least they got Detroit and KC in the first three weeks.
28. Oakland (1-1, 32). Kiffin is still a goner.
29. Detroit (0-2, 27). Awful. See Faceoff below.
30. Kansas City (0-2, 28). Football fan in two years: "Who's Larry Johnson?"
31. Cincinnati (0-2, 30). How were they ever good, even briefly?
32. St. Louis (0-2, 31). They're a 10-point underdog at Seattle!
