NFL Week 2 Review



My first fantasy squad is a beast. Frank Gore finally showed up, just in time too. Other team, ain't so hot (Romo, Shonn Greene, Ray Rice, Calvin Johnson, Crabtree...). But yea, real football:

Kansas City Chiefs 16
Cleveland Browns 14
The Chiefs' defense was on the field way too long in week 1, and since they were coming off a Monday Nighter it was probably foolish of me to pick a blowout win. Why they refuse to give Jamaal Charles the rock, I have no clue. But they gave him a little draw on 3rd and 2 once in a situation where all they needed was a first down... Thomas Jones coulda been a good look for that. Ah well. Charles is too good to be held down.

Buffalo Bills 7
Green Bay Packers 34
ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZz

Baltimore Ravens 10
Cincinnati Bengals 15
Sooooo... Joe Flacco... yikes. Good to see Pacma- er, Adam Jones in the highlights again.

Pittsburgh Steelers 19
Tennessee Titans 11
Skip Bayless made a great point on Vince Young's benching: has Fisher ever believed in Vince? He made a couple disastrous throws on Sunday but what franchise QB with the winning resume VY has gets treated like this? Boggles the mind.

Philadelphia Eagles 35
Detroit Lions 32
Vick certainly didn't disappoint. The spin away from pressure DEAR GOD (0:52 in that video), that's a display of incomparable ability. Yes he misses open receivers, but you have to understand he more than makes up for it with his inhuman ability to simply make plays. Comeback player of the year is in the bag. MVP would have to be talked about if the Eagles had any chance of consistently stopping anyone on defense.

(Vick and Randy Moss are the two most impactful athletes I've ever seen on the football field. Maybe in any sport, due to the nature of things. Sean Taylor was, too, especially towards the end. Deion would be the last one I can even say I remember, but only barely.)

Chicago Bears 27
Dallas Cowboys 20
Dallas is in serious trouble. Chicago seriously looks good. Dunno what else to say. Dez Bryant is going to be a star once he gets his conditioning in order. I just hope he doesn't blow out his knee before that happens.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20
Carolina Panthers 7
Neither of these teams are really any good, but Josh Freeman is looking like the real deal. He only completed 50% of his passes, reminding us that he's still very much a work in progress, but Tampa is headed in the right direction.

Arizona Cardinals 7
Atlanta Falcons 41
'Zona better go after Kevin Kolb ASAP.

Miami Dolphins 14
Minnesota Vikings 10
Minnesota dominated time of possession, which means Miami very well should have lost. Old Man Favre is just that bad right now.

St. Louis Rams 14
Oakland Raiders 16
Well it wasn't quite the statement game I expected, but it'll do the job I guess. Jason Campbell definitely isn't doing what I expected... good to see Run DMC in full effect, though.

Seattle Seahawks 14
Denver Broncos 31
Orton steamrolled. Seattle's run D is legit. Knowshon is a beast. Demaryius Thomas could put the Denver offense right where it needs to be.

Houston Texans 30
Washington Redskins 27 (OT)
Is Houston's pass D that bad? Is the Redskins' running game that bad? The answer to both is probably yes. I'm still a little shocked McNabb threw for over 400 yards. With all that said, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOUR NFC EAST LEADERS: WASHINGTON REDSKINS!!!

Ha.

Jacksonville Jaguars 13
San Diego Chargers 38
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZzzZZZZ

New England Patriots 14
New York Jets 28
Well my prediction wasn't too far off. At least on the Jets scoring. That was a thorough massacre in the second half. I'm sure Rex tore those guys apart after week 1. And I'm sure Braylon Edwards had a nice little celebration drink afterwards. What a jackass.

New York Football Giants 14
Indianapolis Colts 38
Yikes. One of the most convincing victories I've ever seen. Dwight Freeney was an ANIMAL.

New Orleans Saints 25
San Francisco 49ers 22
I don't know how you can't watch football and not see the disparity in how the whistles are blown and flags are thrown in Saints games. I just can't. Obviously the 9ers have nobody to blame but themselves for this one, but it's really annoying. Frank Gore is a beast, though. Top 5 RBs EASY. And finally that statement won't have to be met with all the 'you're insane's.
