NFL Power Rankings Week 3

Source: http://www.pylonpicks.com/powerranking/power_rankings_2007_week3.htm

1. Patriots (2-0)
There was electricity in the air Sunday night at Foxboro but none of it was being generated by the Bolts. I've seen other power rankings where New England is not #1. Don't even bother to read what they have to say.

2. Colts (2-0)
The Colts for some strange reason really struggle with the Titans. I wish we could just move to week 9 when the Colts play the Patriots.

3. Chargers (1-1)
Grudge match of the year last week for the Chargers and they got whipped. Norv had the Chargers looking like the Raiders team he coached. I guess just give them some more time to get used to the new coaching staff.

4. Bears (1-1)
When are teams going to smarten up and avoid punting the ball to Devin Hester?

5. Steelers (2-0)
The Steelers took care of business. They now face three NFC West opponents and have a good chance of starting 5-0.

6. Cowboys (2-0)
The Cowboys' point total after two games is their highest since 1971. Once again, Jason Garrett's play calling picked apart the opponent's defense. Romo looks sharp and Marion the Barbarian is a monster running the ball.

7. Ravens (1-1)
Boller gets the job done with McNair sidelined. The ex-Ravens had an even better week (Jamal Lewis rushed for 216 yards and Adalius Thomas had an interception for a TD)

8. Broncos (2-0)
I'll just use the same note from last week. It looks like the Broncos motto this year will be "Just Win Ugly". Well used timeout Mike.

9. Bengals (1-1)
I think there are some holes in the Bengals defense.

10. Titans (1-1)
We knew the Titans would keep it close against the Colts. However, it is all about Reggie Bush vs. Vince Young this week. A tough challenge for the Titans to go into New Orleans after the Saints pathetic start to this season.

11. Saints (0-2)
The Aint's appear to be back, so get out those paper bags for this week's home opener.

12. Jaguars (1-1)
The Jags / Falcons game had zero excitement.

13. Seahawks (1-1)
Normally, it is the Cardinals fumbling the game away. The NFC West is definitely up for grabs this year.

14. 49ers (2-0)
Frank Gore's made his mom proud. Read more. He had 2 TD's plus the game winning TD. The 49ers are looking good at 2-0 and leading the NFC West.

15. Packers (2-0)
The Pack is back. They should request to move into the NFC East.

16. Eagles (0-2)
Good news, the Eagles have found a solution to their punt return issues. However, the Eagles offense looks off balance and is very inconsistent.

17. Texans (2-0)
After a road victory, the Texans can no longer be titled a sleeper team. It is going to be a difficult task for the secondary against the Colts this week, not to mention Andre Johnson is doubtful.

18. Redskins (2-0)
The Redskins are playing sound defense and their mistake free play at QB by Jason Campbell has them 2-0 and tied with the Cowboys atop the NFC East.

19. Panthers (1-1)
Delhomme has answered his critics in the first 2 weeks about his QB play. Luckily, the Panthers get the Falcons this week.

20. Jets (0-2)
Maybe the Jets have something here with Clemens, well for at least 1 quarter they did.

21. Lions (2-0)
Was last week's Lions / Vikings game the sloppiest played game ever? It may be a good idea for the Lions to shop around for a backup QB (i.e. Leftwich)

22. Vikings (1-1)
Kelly Holcomb!!

23. Rams (0-2)
The Rams were inches from winning last week's game as the 56 yard game winning field kick just sailed under the crossbar. It was a frustrating loss for the Rams as they moved the football up and down the field all day but still came up short.

24. Dolphins (0-2)
The Dolphins defense is going to melt and need life support each week if the offense can't put together any drives and stay on the field.

25. Giants (0-2)
For the first time since 1996, the Giants are 0-2. That was the final year for Dan Reeves, which doesn't bode well for Coughlin.

26. Cardinals (1-1)
You have to be happy for the Cardinals to finally be on the winning end this time.

27. Buccaneers (1-1)
The Bucs are in first place in the NFC South! Galloway now has nine TD catches in six games against the Saints.

28. Browns (1-1)
Frye gets shipped to Seattle and the offense scores 51 points? The Browns play the Raiders which will have an huge impact on the bottom of our Power Rankings.

29. Chiefs (0-2)
At least the Larry Johnson's rap song controversy gives the Chiefs fans something to talk about. http://www.kansascity.com/sports/chiefs/story/276113.html

30. Bills (0-2)
It is going to be a rough start for the Bills. Now they get to go play at New England.

31. Raiders (0-2)
The Raiders fall short again after Janikowski's apparent winning kick was negated by a late timeout. Read more. Sunday's loss makes 15 straight divisional losses, 12 successive road defeats and 11 losses in a row overall

32. Falcons (0-2)
Vick may be sharing a jail cell with O.J. Simpson soon
