Default More (very) early Power Rankings

This one's from Pat Kirwan; he has the Pats second.

Defending Super Bowl Champions Top Ranking Of All 32 Teams

Though he does have this disclaimer: A team ranked in the bottom quarter of this list is sure to make the playoffs; conversely, a team perched up in the top quarter is sure to fall. Talk about hedging your bets.

Regarding the Pats, he says "If the Patriots had secured a veteran outside linebacker, they would have been considered for the top spot." He doesn't have much love for the rest of the AFC East though.

As good an assessment as there is at this stage of the season.. still think there is a LB somehow and somewhere in the works..

Atlanta up to 6, seems a bit high. For me I am interested in seeing how good the Titans D will be without Haynesworth. Also, no mention of adding a shutdown corner for a couple of fifth rounders in Philly.....

Like Julius Peppers, Pat?

Somehow I don't think Brady would have been a major difference a year ago with the way the line was blocking. What maybe an additional score? Pitt owned us last year.

The Patriots had a chance to go up 14-3 in that game when Moss dropped the ball. I'd say "owned" is a little strong. One thing I noticed last year was that the team would get down and deflated in a way it hadn't under Brady, and I think that's a big difference.

We got Owned....We had a chance early but things got bad quickly. How many turnovers did we have in a row?

I think it was five, but like I said a lot of that had to do with the protection, coupled with a stupid fumble by Slater.

And this is sort of my point. How often has that happened with Brady under center? It happened against San Diego and Pittsburgh last season, but I didn't look at those games as games where the Patriots were "owned" so much as games the Patriots pissed away. The only game I really thought the Patriots were absolutely owned was that Dolphins game.
