Here are the Week Two Bears power rankings from various sites around the web:
Analysis, “Looks as though they might have an offense to go with their defense this year.”
Analysis, “For all those people who scoffed at the talk of Jay Cutler as an MVP candidate, hope they enjoyed seeing the highlights of Sunday’s game. Sure, it was the Colts. Then again, look what happened to the Saints against the Redskins, or what almost happened to the Eagles in Cleveland.Cam Newton had a rough day in Tampa Bay, too. Let’s see what Cutler and this group do in Green Bay on NFL Network this Thursday night.”
CBS Sports: #10 (Last week: #13)
Analysis,”Jay Cutler looked like a new man after a slow start. You think he loves have Brandon Marshall around”
Fox Sports: #8 (Last week: #12)
Analysis,”After a rocky start, Jay Cutler settled down and showed how he will excel under the new offensive scheme of Mike Tice. He is now able to throw what he sees, rather than throwing to a predetermined spot in Mike Martz’s system. And what did he say on Sunday? A lot of Brandon Marshall.”
Yahoo Sports: #12 (Last week: #15)
Analysis, “When dealing with adversaries from Wisconsin, what do Jay Cutler and Edward R. Murrow have in common?”
Sporting News: #9 (Last week: #13)
Analysis,”The Bears upgraded at wide receiver with Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery, but Forte was the one who produced two 30-yard plays with Jay Cutler on Sunday.”
Pro Football Talk: #14 (Last week: #11)
Analysis, “Andrew Luck or no Andrew Luck, the PFT Power Rankings panel wasn’t impressed by a 20-point win over a 2-14 team. The Bears will get a chance to get noticed on Thursday at Lambeau.”
Pro Football Weekly: #7 (Last week: #10)
Analysis, “Offense looked as good as advertised; test comes Thursday vs. Packers.”
Analysis,” In just the first week of the season, the Bears scored more points than they did all of last year. The addition of Brandon Marshall and the subtraction of Mike Martz will continue to do wonders for this Bears offense all season long.”
