Minnesota Vikings 9
New Orleans Saints 14
Peterson looks motivated. Vikings really miss Sydney Rice. The Saints continue to routinely get away with offensive holds and defensive interferences that their opponents get flagged for. Other than that, boring game.
Carolina Panthers 18
New York Football Giants 31
HAKEEM NICKS. But I saw that coming four years ago. The Football Giants are back, people. Kenny Phillips is a beast, btw... imagine if we had him (like I asked for at pick #21 in '08) instead of Devin Thomas and Fred Davis (the picks we traded #21 for in '08)...
Miami Dolphins 15
Buffalo Bills 10
I definitely didn't expect it to be this close, but as I said, I like a few players they have on defense. And Miami did dominate everywhere but the scoreboard. Watch Brandon Marshall catch 130 passes for 1200 yards.
Atlanta Falcons 9
Pittsburgh Steelers 15
About as evenly matched as it can get. If they played next week I'd still take Atlanta. Letting Dennis Dixon complete 69.2% of his passes is bad tho...
Detroit Lions 14
Chicago Bears 19
I still don't see how this wasn't a catch. If that's the case I've seen players lose possession hundreds of times, when spiking the ball in celebration. Detroit won this game. The NFL should officially make that change ASAP. In other news, I'm not ready to call Matt Forte the next Marshall Faulk. But if you are, the proof of this is at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. All you have to do is jump down and find it.
Cincinnati Bengals 24
New England Patriots 38
This was a massacre, but it was good to see Carson putting up a fight, and especially good to see Chad and TO playing well. And it was hilarious to see TO drop the first pass of the year ha. Brady is going to destroy the league again, I still think the Bengals will be really good, and I'm glad Randy Moss is as outspoken as he is (more on that later).
Cleveland Browns 14
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17
Cleveland should've won this game easily, their running game was on point, but nobody had more than 9 carries. Instead they opted to let Jake Delhomme throw 37 times. WHAT? Not that it matters, neither team is relevant. PS Go Josh Freeman.
Denver Broncos 17
Jacksonville Jaguars 24
David Garrard was at his absolute best, even though Champ Bailey (must've) shut Mike Sims-Walker DOWN. Knowshon Moreno had a few nice runs.
Indianapolis Colts 24
Houston Texans 34
Arian Foster had a nice little game there. Shock of the century Bob Sanders tore a biceps tendon... a DIFFERENT one than he tore previously. I wish him the best, but I also wish he'd get a little sense and retire.
Oakland Raiders 13
Tennessee Titans 38
Holy shit what a beat down. Obviously I didn't see this coming. I still think Oakland is a good team, which makes the Titans' performance that much more impressive. Nice game by Darren McFadden, by the way...
Green Bay Packers 27
Philadelphia Eagles 20
Obviously the game changed when Vick got in the game. Obviously he better be starting in Detroit (as it looks like he will be). Had he been given the reigns from the start, who knows how this turns out.
San Francisco 49ers 6
Seattle Seahawks 31
Not gonna deal with either of these teams. Not yet.
Arizona Cardinals 17
St Louis Rams 13
Yawn.
Dallas Cowboys 7
Washington Redskins 13
All Dallas fans and Redskins detractors can say is, "Dallas gave the game away, Washington didn't win." Child please. As if coaching hasn't been an issue since Wade took over. As if Alex Barron's 17 holds on Orakpo didn't prevent AT LEAST one Romo turnover. But McNabb looked terrible and the defense was on the field way too long; won't fly later in the season.
Baltimore Ravens 10
New York Jets 9
Mark Sanchez is as big a bust as Vernon Gholston. Yep. Maybe bigger. Shonn Greene is not, however, I don't expect him to be down - especially like this - for long.
San Diego Chargers 14
Kansas City Chiefs 21
Yeaaaaa buddy. Ha. Charles is a stud, McCluster is a stud, JAVIER ARENAS is a stud. I don't think I've ever seen someone make as many people miss as he did in one night. (And look at him destroy the kicker in preseason ha.) Matt Cassel is TRASH, however. It's really a shame that they have so much money invested in him.
Couple extra thoughts. First, MICHAEL VICK NEEDS TO BE STARTING. I said it before the season started. Reid's saying it now, but there shouldn't have ever been a question. As for Randy Moss, would you rather he waits til the Pats lose before he voices his contract issues? It's all good though, he can't win. I know it. He knows it. And you know it, whether you're willing to admit it or not. I hope he breaks Rice's records. YEA I SAID IT.
