NFL Power Rankings Week 2

Some new faces and some fall of the chart entirely on this weeks JMO:Just the facts! No one is safe!

1) New England (2-0) last week:2
    Who needs cameras?! They made SD look like KC! And how many times did LT see the zone? Zero! Granted, this was at home, but it was an amazing show of power. Indy better watch out!
2) Indianapolis (2-0) last week:1
    Almost toppled by a tepid TN? Perhaps the strong showing against NO last week was because they're pretty bad, not because your D has suddenly arrived.
3) Chicago (1-1) last week:4
    Winning because your defense can score. You do what you gotta do. This isn't the offensive power rankings, it's the whole team that counts. Keep finding ways to win and maybe Rex will contribute as well.
4) Pittsburgh (2-0) last week: off
    Two games, 10 points against! That's not something to sneeze at. Plus, convincing wins both weeks. Now let's see if you can continue against teams other than KC and Buff...
5) Dallas (2-0) last week:5
    Looked like you could have used TO's recording of MIA's D! Looked like you struggled a bit against a pretty poor team. I've no doubt you'll climb as the weeks roll on, but there were other's better than you in week two.
6) Green Bay (2-0) last week:7
    A surprising win against Eli and the G-men sending them to 0-2. Special teams getting it done as well. Favre looked superb. I guess it really is age before beauty.
7) San Diego (1-1) last week:3
    Chicago held you to 10 points at the half. NE held you to 14 for the game and LT has 1 rushing TD over two weeks. Where's the offensive powerhouse we were told to expect? (And why does LT get to wear a tinted visor? Is it migraines? I'd think six 250+ lbs men slamming into you at full speed would cause more migraines than a little light. Or is it so that the D can't see your eyes. Just wondering, because it didn't seem to matter last week.
8) Houston (2-0) last week:10
    Looks like ATL should have let Schaub play last year! They might have done better than the sub .500 season they had. Off to a great start and defeated a not-too-shabby CAR! What's next? Indy?
9) Tennessee (1-1) last week:off
    Two points. Two points from beating Peyton and the Colts. An excellent showing, welcome to the top ten.
10) Cleveland (1-1) last week:off (32)
    Yes, Cleveland, I had you pegged as the worst team in the NFL and no one is more surprised than me that you've made it on to JMO:JTF. However, I cannot ignore 51 points scored against the Bungles. Sure, you gave up 45, but you still won! Because of this, I now vow never to bet on football, ever!
Notable removals: NO (0-2) last week: 9. Tampa Bay?! You lost to Tampa Bay? I'm disgusted! Cincinnati (1-1) last week: 6. No. seriously. That's not funny. You were my lock of the week. I will never trust you again. New York Giants (0-2) last week: 8 Hurt or not you've gotta find a way to win or I'm going to have a very sad brother-in-law!

Honorable Mention: New York Jets (0-2) Hey, New York has a Clemens that can throw! Too bad they don't have receivers who can catch. The rookie tied the game three times against a tough BALT D, only to have his wide outs drop the touchdown passes. Whoops, next time he won't hit you in the hands.
