Under Center with Maly-Mal


My, what a difference a week makes. From Tom Brady’s season ending injury to the birth of two potential rookie sensations in quarterbacks Joe Flacco of the Ravens, and Matt Ryan of the Falcons, opening week was full of drama. I must apologize to Donovan McNabb and the Philadelphia Eagles for my prejudgments. The way the Eagles offense dismantled the Rams defense, it doesn’t matter who calls the plays, as long as McNabb’s healthy. His 361 yards and 3 TD passes led all passers, and led the Eagles to a 38-3 victory. Speaking of health, Tom Brady (Pats), Jeff Garcia (Bucs), Vince Young (Titans), and Brodie Croyle (Chiefs) were all casualties of war. Brett Favre was being Brett Favre on Sunday… A hail mary that went for a touchdown was vintage Favre. It’s safe to say the AFC is wide open. Here’s my power ranking, after week 1:

1) Philadelphia Eagles – McNabb looks sharp, defense looks dominant.
2) Dallas Cowboys – Rolled over Cleveland. Can’t wait for Monday Night!
3) Pittsburgh Steelers – Willie Parker is back rushing for 138 yards and 3 TD’s
4) New England Patriots – 20 straight regular season games demands respect.
5) New Orleans Saints – “You snappin’ on Reggie?” Reggie Bush is on a mission.
6) New York Giants – Started off fast, ended slow. But, they’re still the champs.
7) Denver Broncos – Cutler ready to be the second coming of Elway?
8) New York Jets – As long as Farve is under center, the Jets have a chance
9) Green Bay Packers – Aaron Rodgers looks like a Brett Farve clone.
10) Indianapolis Colts – They will get it together, before it’s all said and done.
11) Carolina Panthers – Not as good as beating San Diego would imply.
12) San Diego – Not as bad as losing to Carolina would imply.
13) Buffalo Bills – No one circles the wagon like the Buffalo Bills.
14) Jacksonville Jaguars – Have to win divisional games to get over the hump.
15) Tamp Bay Buccaneers – Jeff Garcia’s still doing the ‘Happy Feet’
16) Arizona Cardinals – Not quite a believer yet. But, I’m getting there.
17) Chicago Bears – Forte looks like the real deal.
18) Seattle Seahawks – Put out the A.P.B. for the defense.
19) Cleveland Browns – I’m going to say it all year… OVERRATED!
20) Minnesota Vikings – Tarvaris Jackson isn’t the one.
21) Baltimore Ravens – Was the victory over the Bengals just divisional rivalry?
22) Atlanta Falcons – It was a victory… But, it was the Lions.
23) Cincinnati Bengals – How does a Marvin Lewis team stink on defense?
24) Houston Texans – A team full of role players will not win in the NFL.
25) San Francisco 49ers – Tough loss against the Cardinals.
26) Tennessee Titans – With Vince Young down, the Titans will follow.
27) Miami Dolphins – At least the Big Tuna has them competing again.
28) Detroit Lions – Matt Millen is the Isaiah Thomas of the NFL.
29) Washington Redskins – 28 minutes and 50 seconds to complete your first pass?
30) St. Louis Rams – The greatest show is on the turf, now.
31) Oakland Raiders – Talented, but, too young.
32) Kansas City Chiefs – Larry Johnson’s a one man show. 1 vs. 11… You do the math.

I personally like the rundown of all the teams every week it keeps me informed on how Philadelphia will go another season without a superbowl. Dag, Even Baltimore has a superbowl in the 90's!!!!!!!
