Another season is finally underway which means Andy and Ryan are back with their power rankings. Despite the loss, the Packers still managed to stay in the top 10. Meanwhile, the defending champs make their debut a little lower then expected.
NFL Power Rankings: Week 2
32. Miami Dolphins (0-1): It's a hard knock life for Miami. - AD
31. Carolina Panthers (0-1): Ten rushing yards against a Tampa Bay defense that gave up an average of 156 yards on the ground in 2011. - RT
30. Jacksonville Jaguars (0-1): Blaine Gabbert is showing some signs of hope for the Jaguars. However, their tough schedule has them ultimately set up for a number one draft pick next year. - AD
29. Cleveland Browns (0-1): After what RGIII did in New Orleans, Cleveland fans can't be happy with settling for Brandon Weeden. - RT
28. Buffalo Bills (0-1): This team will go 0-16 if they play the way they did on Sunday. Buffalo did have the most rushing yards (195) in the league last week, though. - AD
27. Tennessee Titans (0-1): It's not Chris Johnson's fault that he has no other weapons around him. - RT
26. Indianapolis Colts (0-1): The “Suck for Luck” campaign is over now, Indy. It's time to actually start winning games. - AD
25. Seattle Seahawks (0-1): It's only a matter of time before we hear the Matt Flynn rumblings. - RT
24. St. Louis Rams (0-1): St. Louis showed their lack of offensive production on Sunday, yet they were seconds away from beating the Lions. - AD
23. Arizona Cardinals (1-0): It wasn't pretty but the Cardinals picked up an important division win against Seattle. - RT
22. Minnesota Vikings (1-0): Although he didn't throw any touchdowns, Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder had an impressive week, completing 20 of 27 passes for 270 yards. Adrian Peterson's two touchdowns were crucial for Minnesota, too. - AD
21. Kansas City Chiefs (0-1): They have plenty of offense, but that defense looks extremely suspect. - RT
20. Oakland Raiders (0-1): Darren McFadden ran the ball 15 times and caught 13 passes in Sunday's loss. Oakland needs to find a way to get more people involved into the offense or else they'll be in for a long year. - AD
19. Cincinnati Bengals (0-1): Tough start for the Bengals in Baltimore, but luckily for them their schedule gets progressively easier as they will face the Browns (twice), Jaguars and the Dolphins within the next few weeks. - AD
18. San Diego Chargers (1-0): It seems like sloppy games are the trend for San Diego. Fortunately for the Chargers, their special teams unit wasn't the one making the mistakes this week. - AD
17. Philadelphia Eagles (1-0): There's no way you can be satisfied with the Eagles after their week one performance, even if you're a Philly fan. Four interceptions against the Browns is inexcusable for a team with so much talent. - AD
16. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-0): Josh Freeman only threw for 138 yards but he managed not to throw any interceptions, which is a good sign. Then again, they were only playing the Panthers. - AD
15. New Orleans Saints (0-1): Losing at home to Washington isn't the best way to start a new chapter after the Bountygate saga. - RT
14. New York Giants (0-1): It's back to the basics for the Giants because that opening game was just horrendous. Simple as that. - AD
13. Detroit Lions (1-0): Detroit won their game against St. Louis, but if the Lions want to be elite, Matthew Stafford (three interceptions) cannot keep putting his team in jeopardy. - RT
12. Pittsburgh Steelers (0-1): The Steelers are a good team but they ran into a better team in Denver on Sunday night. - RT
