OK folks!!! it is NFL time!!! Last year, I started a sports group and it has grown! Please make sure you join it on Active Rain! Below are my top 12 NFL Teams after week 2. Is this the year the NFC takes over as the dominant Conference?
1 ) Dalls Cowboys: Their defense was a bit suspect against the Eagles however, their offense proves the most powerful in the NFL early. With Marion Barber wearing down defenses, 14 wins is a true possibility.
2 ) Green Bay Packers: Favre who? Yeah, Aaron Rodgers is actually that good, or has played that good through the first 2 weeks. Can you truly imagine the public outcry if he didn't?
3 ) Pittsburgh Steelers: Let's face it. It is hard to throw the ball in 70 MPH winds. Their 10 point offensive display against Cleveland really isn't worrisome. Also, Ben Roethlisberger has the highest QB rating in the NFL and has only had to throw the ball minimally during their 2 wins. 75% completion % is stellar. This team has all of the tools. QB, two feature backs and a stellar defense.
4 ) Philadelphia Eagles: McNabb looks great. They hung with the Cowboys in a shootout.
5 ) NY Giants: Their defense looks excellent, as does Eli. Brandon Jacobs runs over anything in his path, including his own linemen. They did win the Superbowl last year.
6 ) Denver Broncos: Jay Cutler looks to cement himself as a true top 5 QB this year. (Hoculi certainly helped this rating.
7 ) New England Patriots: No Brady, no problem... The rest of the team is a very good, veteran squad that will lift Cassel into having an above-par season.
8 ) Indianapolis Colts: Ugh, this is the ugliest 1-1 start I've ever seen a team have. They still have Addai, Harrison, Wayne, Clark and some guy named Manning.
9 ) Carolina Panthers: Well, they squeaked em in, but they squeaked em in without their best player in Steve Smith.
10) Buffalo Bills: Excellent Defense! Marshawn Lynch is a bruising back. Their success falls solely into the hands of their young QB.
11) Tenessee Titans: Kerry Collins is the guy there until Young proves he is physically and mentally ready. They do have a very inviting schedule.
12 ) Arizona Cardinals: Ok, they beat two terrible teams in Miami and San Fran. However, Kurt Warner, Edgerin James, Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald? If they allow 20 points per game on defense, they'll still win 10 games. It's too early on this one...
LET THE COMMENTS FLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had the luck of the football gods on our side last week, but you know a rule is a rule may not be a good one but it's still a rule
