NE 27, Indy 24
... man the Colts keep finding newer and better ways to lose the big game to the big team don't they ?? This time it was some untimely fumbles and a BRUTAL sack on Manning that put them into missed-it-by-Scott-Norwood-range type field goal... and of course the Pats contintue their charm of being the most blessed team in sports with getting ALL the breaks.. both teams should be around come January
Ten 17, Mia 7
Well.. so much for the Jay Fielder project
.. he sucked in this game.. bad passes shitty decisions.. and the pure ineptness we know and love from the Dolphins !!.. on the other hand I have all the respect in the world for the Titans.. one of the toughest hard nosed teams in the NFL and sport (Steve McNair is the toughest SOB alive) and the Titans D got me a touchdown !! The Titans are a forgotten power in the AFC
SD 27, Hou 20
the Texans lose for the first time ever on opening day and ruined MANY a Suicide Pool Selection for people this year
... the Chargers are just GOD AWFUL and have no business beating anyone at this point.. but they won and Brees looked good in the process... I'd look at this as more damnation for the Texans then praise for the Bolts....
Cle 20, Bal 3
Clearly THE upset of the day.. think they'd want Garcia back in Frisco now ??
.. didn't see much of this game but all I heard is how the Browns were embarrassed last year by Jamal Lewis getting
a QUARTER of his 2000 yards rushing on the Browns and made it their MISSION to avoid that this year... and you shut down Jamal and the Ravens become the Chargers
... also doesn't matter how good your D is when you turn the ball over three times... hopefully the Browns will let down in Dallas now
Det 20, Chi 16
Congrats Lions.. you're better then the Bears.. enjoy your 2-14 season.. NEXT !!!
Jax 13, Buf 10
a decent upset (if not for the Browns this would be the shock of the week).. been hearing the Jags D is good.. but damn !!! They beat the Bills IN Buffalo !! That's impressive.. Leftwich stunk again.. but Bledsoe wasn't alot better.. and again I think I'd take this as more a downgrade on the Bills then a look out for the Jags.. but they will be better then last year !!
Was 16, TB 10
Again.. I say the NFC East may be the roughest division in football
.. game started out with Portis taking it to the house and the Skins never looking back... I did say to Brian Tampa is on a downswing now.. and this was just proof of it.... Skins should be 2-0 by the time the Giants look up next week
, Skins have talent a good coach and a soft schedule they could make noise this year
St.Louis 17, Arizona 10
How the hell did the Rams almost lose this at HOME ?? How the hell did Emmitt almost get a hundred yards and a TD today ?? why the fuck did the Rams run a TIGHTEND REVERSE ON THE GOAL LINE ?? God Mike Martz is the worst coach in sports (he has this delusion the NFL is some football game and he can do wacky shit to win each week and can't see the difference in his own thick-headed-ness !!
Pit 24, Oak 21
to be honest we saw most of this game and Pitt really whipped the SHIT out of the Raiders in the first half and they should have been up by WAY more then 14 points.. they let the Raiders hang around and hang around.. and it almost bit them in the ass and it took a nice drive and a late FG to win this sucker ... Tommy Maddox seems to missi the ability to make big plays.. Staley had a nice game and we saw a fantasy football wet dream in Bettis.. 5 carries, ONE yard...
3 TDNYJ 31, Cinci 24:
Weird game.. typical Jets to fumble the opening kickoff and get their own new stadium commericals booed out of the stadium
.. but you saw a few things in this game.. Carson Palmer is the real deal and the Bengals will be ok this year.. the Jet offense is borderline good (Curtis Martin BABY-BEE).. Jets should be a playoff team... Bengals will be close... but the Jet defense is NOT good
Seattle 21, Saints 7
man talk about a cursed team.. the Saints have all the talent but yet suck each and every year .. it's an oddity ain't it (or bad coaching).. turnovers sloppy play and maybe a bit of seeing Seattle is for REAL is all to be taken into account here... Seattle may sneak in and knock off the Rams this year.. which is something I didn't think a month ago... (keep in mind week one is still only week 1
)
Phily 31, Giants 17
this one wasn't as close as the score would say.. the Giants were never really in this game at ALL.. the Eagles just ABUSED the Giants defense.. hell they even pounded the snot out of the PUNTER (funny classic hit of the day moment !!)... Warner gave up the ball.. the Eagles did what they needed to do.. the protection was average (which was better then expected) boy did Eli Manning get smacked in the 4th quater though *grins*... gonna be a long season for the Giants... and the Eagles look as advertised....
Minn 31, Dallas 17
the opposite of the Giants game.. the Cowboys actually kinda hung around for most of this game but just didn't have the offense to keep up with the Vikings.. and like I said before the game... I'll take the good offense agains t the good defense (Minn) over the bad offense against the bad defense (Dallas)... Randy Moss just KILLS Dallas EVERY time.. but the big shock in this game was
355 passing yards by Vinny I may have to find a way to like this guy... Eddie George was BENCHED in the second half and Julius Jones was hurt and didn't play... I hope Jones is good this year cause they NEED him to run that ball.. I'd be worried to about the Vikings Defense personally.... it ain't good !
Atlanta 21, SF 19:
the Niners, despite having QBs roll off the field at a sick level, still were a 2 point conversion from pulling this thing out.. Vick didn't run alot and looks like he could struggle in this new offense.. hell both teams struggled in this one and the Falcons were lucky to win this one... again more an indication of the Falcons being more average then the 49ers being okay....
Den 34, KC 24
This game was a hundred times better then that shitty PPV last night.. hey Hamus.. you can't have Griffin now.. he's the real deal.. the cutbacks he made last night were CRAZY (you can talk to me about McAllister though) 3 touchdowns and all of Denver is saying Clinton WHO
As for the Chiefs... I give Denver a WORLD of praise on defense too cause Lynch and Bailey have made that defense as good as the offense... Plummer was good... running game good.. and they held an all time great type offense and running back to only 24 points... Denver is a team to look out for now.. while the Chiefs could have more problems this year then last.....
How fast do you think the hook is gonna be on Raw tonight for Packers/Panthers ?? ;p
