2012 WEEK TWO RANKINGS-PATS ON TOP
We are now entering the second week of the 2012 NFL season and we are seeing which teams are contenders and which ones are pretenders. New England showed off a balance attack as their off season moves on defense paid dividends. We also saw how dominant Baltimore looked against a solid Cincinnati team. The Dallas Cowboys shut down the Superbowl champs and San Francisco looked like they did a year ago. Here are the rankings entering week two.
- New England Patriots +1
- Baltimore Ravens +2
- Houston Texans --
- San Francisco 49ers +8
- Philadelphia Eagles +1
- Denver Broncos +3
- New York Giants -6
- Green Bay Packers -3
- Detroit Lions +1
- Pittsburgh Steelers -3
- Atlanta Falcons +2
- Dallas Cowboys +2
- New Orleans Saints -5
- San Diego Chargers +2
- Chicago Bears -4
- Cincinnati Bengals -2
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers +2
- Washington Redskins +8
- Carolina Panthers -4
- Tennessee Titans -3
- New York Jets -1
- Arizona Cardinals +1
- Minnesota Vikings +4
- Indianapolis Colts -3
- Kansas City Chiefs --
- Oakland Raiders -1
- Seattle Seahawks -4
- St. Louis Rams --
- Cleveland Browns +1
- Jacksonville Jaguars +2
- Miami Dolphins -2
- Buffalo Bills -1
The Washington Redskins and the San Francisco 49ers both moved up 8 spots in this week's poll. The Redskins may have something special with Robert Griffin III. He out shined all rookie starters and all 2nd year starters as well. They are still a work in progress team so only time will tell if they can keep it up. The 49ers proved that last year wasn't a fluke with a convincing win over Green Bay. I wasn't sure how Alex Smith would act after the 49ers tried to bring in Payton Manning.
It may be time to hit the panic button in New Orleans. The defense was terrible and I believe that they have a terrible game plan against Washington. They play a Carolina team that is dangerous and has a much better defense. The Dallas Cowboys looked great but haven't played since September 5th. They take on a Seattle team that is solid all around. A 2-0 start would be perfect for this energized Cowboy team.
