It looks like the Chiefs are screwed now. They are going to get thier asses kicked in Denver on Monday.

Charles Robinson has them ranked second behind the Colts. This is the same moron that picked all the teams that won thier division to win them again except the Vikings. It looks like the Vikings could end up in the celler.

THE TOP 12


1. Indianapolis Colts (2-0) – Peyton Manning and company are off to a slow start, but the next five games should be an orgy of offense: Cleveland, Tennessee, San Francisco, St. Louis and Houston. Can you say 7-0 by the bye week?

2. Kansas City Chiefs (2-0) – Holding Oakland's offense to 17 points on the road goes a long way toward proving K.C.'s defense is legit. The next two games against Denver and Philadelphia could cement the Chiefs among the league's elite.

3. New England Patriots (1-1) – The turnovers by Tom Brady aren't indicative of anything but one bad game. The larger concern is reestablishing Corey Dillon (2.7 yards per carry) and getting the defensive mistakes under control.


4. Philadelphia Eagles (1-1) – Donovan McNabb stopped locking on Terrell Owens and spread the ball around Sunday. And say what you want about Owens, but when he's on his game, he's as fun to watch as anyone in the NFL.


5. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-0) – Teams aren't getting pressure on Ben Roethlisberger, and he's making them pay with a ridiculous 14.8 yards per pass attempt. He already has four pass plays over 40 yards, compared to seven last season.


6. Cincinnati Bengals (2-0) – Going back to last season, Carson Palmer has five straight games with a passer rating over 100. Odell Thurman looks like he's going to be everything the Bengals hoped the rookie linebacker would be.


7. Carolina Panthers (1-1) – Jake Delhomme has looked bad, but Stephen Davis and the defense are winning games again. And the Panthers' schedule seems to be softening by the minute: Their next five opponents have started the season a combined 2-8.


8. Atlanta Falcons (1-1) – The coaches still can't get Michael Vick's passing mechanics in order. He's still not setting his feet, and he missed Michael Jenkins twice on potential touchdowns Sunday. The defense looked atrocious at times against Seattle while giving up 428 yards.


9. New York Jets (1-1) – For all the whining, Chad Pennington's passing numbers aren't awful. But they should be better, considering how teams have stacked the line to stop Curtis Martin (2.5 yards per carry) the first two games.


10. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-0) – All the talk is about the defense and Carnell Williams, but the offensive line held a stellar Buffalo defense to only one sack this weekend. With games against Green Bay and Detroit coming up, the Bucs could breeze to 4-0.


11. New York Giants (2-0) – The defense has allowed an average of just 51.5 rushing yards in the first two wins. Tom Coughlin may end up being the best thing that ever happened to Tiki Barber.


12. Washington Redskins (2-0) – The win over Dallas was stunning, and it's the kind of thing that could give this team some juice. Now the Redskins have the bye week to feel good about themselves and get Mark Brunell plenty of work with the first-team offense.


RISING

e celler.

Yeah their schedule is weak because they get the NFC west this year. Still though, the get most of their tough games at home in the 2nd half, and even the New England game comes after the bye week so they have 2 weeks to prepare.

I pretty much agree with those except I would slide us down a couple slots and move Tampa Bay up a notch.

1. Indianapolis Colts (2-0) - Look like the best team out there for the moment.

2. New England Patriots (1-1) - When you win a million games in a row at home, dropping one on the road doesn't feel so bad.

3. Philadelphia Eagles (1-1) - They couldn't beat New England in the super bowl and they've only won 1 game since then so there's no reason to rank them above the Pats now.

4. Kansas City Chiefs (2-0) - Good so far but the next two will tell us where we are at.

5. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-0) - Roethlisberger's fine when playing in a pressure-vaccuum. We'll see how they do when it's not the Titans and the Texans.

6. Cincinnati Bengals (2-0) - With Palmer the sky's the limit, and the Bears and Texans mean fans should expect a 4-0 start.

7. Carolina Panthers (1-1) - Defense held up against the run even without Jenkins, but Delhomme has to be better down the stretch.

8. Atlanta Falcons (1-1) - How many rushing yards make it worth having a starting QB with a downright Kordell Stewart-like rating?

9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-0) - Carnell Williams looks like what Michael Pittman was supposed to be.

10. New York Jets (1-1) - Jacksonville, Baltimore, Tampa Bay, and Buffalo. It's not often an NFL team has a run of defenses like the Jets are about to face.

11. New York Giants (2-0) - They're playing well right now, but Manning will have to get better in a hurry if they're going to challenge Philly in the division.

12. Washington Redskins - The way their offense looked for 58 minutes last night, it could be another long year in D.C.
