NFL Power Rankings Week 1

This (I hope) will be a weekly post on JMO. Some of you may remember my power rankings last year (not posted) as "Just the facts", and so they shall remain. So, let's get started:

JMO Power Rankings: Just the facts
Week 1

1) Indianapolis (1-0):
    Wow! So there is a "D" in Indy! They held the Saints powerful running game in check and didn't allow them back in the game through the pass. The defending Super Bowl Champions are a force to be reckoned with.
2) New England (1-0):
    "Brady to Moss: TOUCHDOWN!" Whew! Get used to hearing that! The Patriots continue to prove that they are a powerhouse. The Jets aren't a bad team but the Pats made them look like one.
3) San Diego (1-0):
    They overcame the best D in the NFC. LT threw for another TD. As you can see, there's at good team in SD. Watch out next week, when they play NE!
4) Chicago (0-1):
    They held the Chargers to only 14 points! Seven points in the first half! Not many teams will duplicate that feat. Now if they can just find a way to win in spite of Rex.
5) Dallas (1-0):
    45 points! And it got to the point where it was as though the announcer would say "And it's third and who cares for the Cowboys." They seemed unstoppable. I guess you have to be if you are going to score 45 points.
6) Cincinnati (1-0):
    A come from behind win over a very good Baltimore team. Was it in Ocho Cinco that they were last in the Super Bowl? (Actually, it was Ocho Nueve) Well, Ocho Cinco might just lead them back!
7) Green Bay (1-0):
    I'm not above eating my own words. Green Bay held a decent Eagles team in check and managed to pull out a victory. Maybe Favre's hair is actually silver, can they bring the big silver trophy back to Lambeau?
8) New York Giants (0-1):
    Nearly came from behind against Dallas. Shrank a 16 point deficit to three. Too bad the injury bug has bitten (and hard). We'll see how you fair with a back up QB and RB. (by the way, when Tiki was on NBC talking about the Giants, he kept saying "we" and "us" and "our." Hey Tiki: You retired! You're not on the team! (Or are you? They don't have a RB, remember?))
9) New Orleans (0-1):
    The Colts made them look average! No running game (Bush didn't seem to have an exit strategy on how to get out of the backfield!) and no defense. Better turn it around if you wanna stay on this list!
10) Houston (1-0):
    Houston, welcome to your first ever appearance on JMO:JTF! Schaub brings a big victory to the Texans. Can it continue?

Tune in next week to see where your favorite team ends up on Just the Facts!

Great post! Maybe I'll actually be able to keep up a little with what's going on during the actual season this year, this way!
