Landmark
Power Poll

The Tennessee Titans topped our poll before
week one, but played awful at home two weeks ago and have
dropped all the way to number 8. The new king of the hill—the
St. Louis Rams. The cellar also has a new occupant. The
Marty Schottenheimer and the three stooges-led Washington
Redskins.
THE LANDMARK POWER POLL
1) 92 RAMS—Nice win
in Philly—hey they played a little defense.
2) 91 BRONCOS—Losing
McCaffery hurts.
3) 91 RAIDERS—Resilient
win in KC.
4) 89 SAINTS—Legitimate.
Can they now handle the pressure of being a contender?
(week one write up continues)
5) 88 RAVENS—Elvis
sure improved that stale offense quickly, a whopping 17
points.
6) 88 COLTS—Up from
#10. Big time offense showed up in week 1.
7) 87 DOLPHINS—Was that
Jay Fiedler or Dan Marino?
8) 87 TITANS—Game one
was awful, it might actually help if McNair is out.
9) 87 PACKERS—Sleeper.
RB Ahman Green could have a breakout season. (week one
write up continues)
10) 87 EAGLES—The Rams
were just too much.
11) 87 BUCCANEERS—Should
have been beaten in week one.
12) 87 GIANTS—Tough
loss in Denver.
13) 85 VIKINGS—It’s
a good thing that the Titans were so poor in week one
or the focus would be on the Vikings choke job.
14) 85 JAGUARS—Nice
week one win.
15) 85 CHIEFS—Close,
but no cigar—desperately need a win to avoid an 0-2
Arrowhead start.

is back, but he must remain healthy.
17) 84 CHARGERS—Thanks
Redskins.
18) 83 PANTHERS—Rebuilding
with a 29-year old rookie QB, and it is working.
19) 82 STEELERS—Ugh—three
points?
20) 82 SEAHAWKS—Thrilling
9-6 win.

Vick, the key here is Jamal Anderson.(week one write up

struggling.
