Week Two power rankings
Posted by Mike Florio on September 11, 2018, 11:45 AM EDT

1. Eagles (1-0; last week No. 1): The “let’s just use a gadget play to wake up the quarterback” routine is not going to be sustainable.
2. Patriots (1-0; No. 2): Forget the post-#Tommy plan. The Patriots need a good post-#Gronk plan.
3. Packers (1-0; No. 4): One-legged Aaron Rodgers is actually a better thrower of the football than two-legged Aaron Rodgers.
4. Jaguars (1-0; No. 5): No-legged Aaron Rodgers would be a better thrower of the football than two-legged Blake Bortles.
5. Rams (1-0; No. 8): So much for the “starters need to play in the preseason” argument.
6. Falcons (0-1; No. 6): It was deja vu all over again for the Falcons.
7. Chiefs (1-0; No. 10): Mahomes to Hill could eventually become the new Montana to Rice.
8. Vikings (1-0; No. 9): The Vikings still need to figure out how to deliver a knockout blow.
9. Saints (0-1; No. 3): Throw out Week One’s outcome, except when losing at home to a division rival. And when giving up 48 points in the process.
10. Steelers (0-0-1; No. 7): Elite teams don’t blow 14-point fourth-quarter leads to teams that have won one game in two-plus seasons.
11. Ravens (1-0; No. 17): Lost in the “Bills blow!” narrative? The Ravens may be pretty damn good this year.
12. Panthers (1-0; No. 12): They get a chance this weekend against the Falcons to prove that they are still a major factor in the NFC South.
13. Seahawks (0-1; No. 11): Trying to run away from Von Miller will at least make Russell Wilson more prepared to try to run away from Khalil Mack.
14. Buccaneers (1-0; No. 31): Everyone expected them to start 0-3 without Jameis Winston. Is it now crazy to think they’ll start 3-0?
15. Chargers (0-1; No. 13): The annual “this is their year” team proves yet again that it’s not.
16. Dolphins (1-0; No. 18): A year after their Week One game was scrapped due to a hurricane, they essentially played a weather-induced doubleheader.
17. Texans (0-1; No. 15): It’s hard for an MVP candidate to play like one if he has no blocking.
18. 49ers (0-1; No. 16): When it’s time to sort out the final standings, the 49ers will regret letting this one get away.
19. Broncos (1-0; No. 26): It doesn’t quite avenge Super Bowl XLVIII, but for a Broncos team that often couldn’t get out of its own way a year ago, knocking of Seattle was a great way to start the season.
20. Bengals (1-0; No. 22): Sure, it’s only Week Two. But how often in the last two years have the Bengals been playing for sole possession of first place in the AFC North?
21. Bears (0-1; No. 23): It will take a while to get Bears fans to find the pearl in the pile of poo that the Packers plopped onto them.
22. Washington (1-0; No. 30): This team will go as far as Adrian Peterson can take them. Based on his recent injury history, that may not be very far. (Disclaimer: I’d still never bet against the guy.)
23. Titans (0-1; No. 14): The Titans added injury to interminable.
24. Cowboys (0-1; No. 19): A sports book needs to set the week when Jerry Jones does a 180 on Jason Garrett.
25. Jets (1-0; No. 28): Perhaps all that talk about the quarterback position was aimed at getting us not to notice that the defense is pretty damn good.
26. Raiders (0-1; No. 24): Wade Phillips figured out Jon Gruden faster than Paul Guenther figured out Sean McVay.
27. Giants (0-1; No. 25): How many Giants fans are already thinking, “We should have taken Sam Darnold“?
28. Colts (0-1; No. 27): Snowboarding or not, it’s when not if Andrew Luck gets injured again.
29. Cardinals (0-1; No. 29): Good news . . . Sam Bradford was able to play the whole game. Bad news . . . Sam Bradford was able to play the whole game.
30. Lions (0-1; No. 20): At this point, not even Adam and Eve would be tempted by the fruit of the Belichick coaching tree.
31. Browns (0-0-1; No. 32): “BEST START SINCE 2004!”
32. Bills (0-1; No. 21): This Sunday, Bills fans should just stay home and watch the video of last year’s Bengals-Ravens game.

This writer must not have watched the Lions play.

or the Cardinals.

It's Mike Florio; he just trolls Cleveland.

These are some pretty terrible attempts at jokes.

Perfect topic title

Florio is literally the worst media voice out there. He has no thoughtful takes. Just trolling, misquoting, etc.

He invented sports news aggregation, which begat clickbait. He's the worst.

Anyone know if he’s a bookie or if he sets lines for anyone that does ...

Cause if we play the lions and he does ... woooohoooo ... *L*

His previous ranking of 21 for the Bills says all I need to know about his football prowess. Anyone with half a brain would know that any team starting Nathan Peterman at quarterback is the worst team in the league. I didn't need them to play a week to figure that out.

based on my observations, there would be 3 teams who i'd consider to be really bad: Buffalo, Arizona, and Detroit.

Tennessee, Dallas, and Oakland would be next IMO.

We need to win a game to put a stop to this nonsense.

Buffalo's quarterback situation is worse than ours last year. Kessler is better than Peterman. Kizer is probably better than Allen. Everyone kept talking about how our quarterbacks were inexperienced last year. Take a look at buffalo... traded tyrod and mccarron... at least Kessler started 8 games.

"Critics are legless men who teach running" or to that effect. This list shows he's all snark and little judgment.
Bugs Bunny: "What a maroon!!"

Yea, why are we behind the Lions? I guess getting blown out at home by the Jets is better than tying the Steelers, according to this writer?

You got that right. Wont get any respect until we do.

Probably because the Lions started at 20. Some had them making the playoffs this year and one dude had them in the Super Bowl. My guess is they continue to fall.

Never understood that, btw. Their defense, especially without Ansah, is incredibly bad.

They were 9 and 7 last year and forced a ton of turnovers. They haven't had a losing season for quite a few years. It's not that hard to understand. I do think that Patricia is a terrible coach and this team could very well implode.
