Here they are, the Power Rankings for week 2. Enjoy :D
The Drum Roll:
Well week one is finally out of the way and so are the Rankings based on Predictions. This week we see a big shuffle in the Rankings with the fins being on the wrong end of the shuffle. We lost an average of 5 places this week but that is what losing on week one will do to you in the rankings. Lets hope with a win on Sunday we will see a jump up the ranks. Its been several years since we averaged in the top 5. I hope we can get up there this year.
Later and GO FINS!!!!! :D

Dolphins Rank: 16 (-7)
Comment: Daunte Culpepper made some throws that looked a lot like the QB who struggled so much at the beginning of last season.

Dolphins Rank: 19 (-7)
Comment: You hate to say a game in Week 2 is a must win, but it is for the Dolphins. They can't afford to go 0-2 by losing to the Bills at home.

Dolphins Rank: 15 (+2)
Comment: The Wes Welker show! See, he's more than just a receiver in a "Madden" commercial. Daunte Culpepper looked rusty, but should get better as the season progresses. (We think.)

Dolphins Rank: 19
Comment: You want to know the story behind Nick Saban's hesitation play on that wimpy little flag toss? The guys in the booth were supposed to get the word to him immediately -- throw the flag! But Saban, you see, is one of those coaches who does not permit his assistants to talk to anybody. And after almost four days of silence, their vocal chords were not warmed up. After a number of tentative squeaks and squawks, it took a while for the words to finally come out.

Comment: Finished very strong in 2005, and could challenge the Patriots in the AFC East if they continue to improve under second-year head coach Nick Saban.
