NFL Recap Week 2

The Boys got upstaged at home by Cutler throwing to his RB, TE and Former DB from the U. Devin Hester made a ridiculous catch, he may not be a #1 WR but he’s showing development. Greg Olson, the U, showed what he can do when he gets a chance. Matt Forte continued to do more as a receiver than a runner, including catching a TD on a mini fade route. I continue to say the Boys would be better off with Michael Oher than Roy Williams. But even more than that the Cowboys need leadership on both sides of the ball. There is no leader or potential leader on offense, Barber seems to be too quiet and doesn’t have a large enough roll (Garret’s fault). DeMarcus should be the leader on defense, he is the best player and highest paid on the team. That has been 1 of 2 knocks, in my opinion, on DeMarcus for the past couple of years. The other being he seems so quiet. 0-2, this could get ugly real quick…

The 49ers look like they may be the best 0-2 team in the NFL after last night. They played the Saints down to the wire and if they ran some more time off the clock they may have made it to overtime. The Saints are playing the same as last year, not blowing teams out but finding a way to win. Reggie Bush fractured his leg, looks like he’s out for 6 weeks… The 49ers are @KC, @ATL then home for Philly and the Raiders. 3-3 or 4-2 for this team if they keep it together.

Randy Moss burned Derelle Revis for a TD but the Jets won. Sanchez actually looked more like an NFL QB, but we’ll see, the Pats aren’t exactly known for their D at this point. Shonn Greene continues to dissappoint. Tom Brady looked off the whole game, Welker dissappeared. Cromartie and J Taylor had a couple big plays.

Texans beat the Skins in overtime. Schaub, 497 yards passing w/3 TDs, A Johnson was balling. McNabb and Portis had the Skins in position to win but the D couldn’t stop Johnson when it counted. McNabb is back to making has beens and nobodies (exclude S Moss, C Cooley) look good, 425 yards and a TD. DeAngelo Hall said he should cover the opposing team’s best WR, asked what D Coordinator Jim Haslett might this, “It don't matter what he say. This is my team. This is my defense.” He did score the only TD against the Cowboys and the other DBs clearly weren’t stopping Andre Johnson… He might have a point, but damn dude!

Vick, 284 yards and 2 TDs, 105.5 rating. Vick has come out and said he has no problem being the backup, judging from last week’s post game comments I’d say the Eagles gave him a script right after the game. The Eagles D almost allowed the Lions to come back and win the game. A UF WR on the hands team is especially to blame since he let the ball bounce off his chest. Jahvid Best is ballin, his YPC isn’t great but he is making plays, did Emeka accidentally draft him? The Lions are a couple of plays from being 2-0.

Brett Favre played horrible, worse than last week. The level of criticism does not match his level of play, where are the commentators asking why he wasn’t in training camp or why he didn’t have surgery in the Spring. UF WR Percy Harvin did bat a TD in the air that resulted in an INT. Oh Miami got the win…

The Titans and Steelers played an ugly game. INTs, fumbles, Dixon hurt, VY benched, CJ’s only big run called back. How will the benching impact VY’s confidence? Did Fischer hurt his team’s long term success to try and win 1 game against 1 of the best defenses in the league?

  1. are we really tracking fantasy status every week...

    i think vick should play.... SOME OF US say you can't lose your job to injury or better yet reid is old skool and won't allow that... i recall him having short performance or injury leashes with a previous qb for say feely, garcia, whomever.... my thing is when you are rebuilding you play the future i.e. the lions, the rams.... even green bay struggled with this with favre and rodgers a while back... they were at a crossroads because they knew favre was better at that time but wasn't sure if green bay could make a run... basically you charge the season by having a qb learn on the job.... you have to ask if you play your best players (at whatever position) can your team make a run... if the answer is no start your future... if the answer is yes you have a qb controversy.... bellicheat did this with brady and bledsoe and the rest is history.

    quickly i am sorry but hall can't cover johnson. there are like 5 cbs in the league i would trust one on one with andre (on known run situations or 3rd and long blitzing situations only).... i think you are best manning hall with walters or jones and zoning (double covering) johnson... the problem was when the play broke down and the zone broke down then you have problems...

    by the way revis was so done on the td regardless of his hamstring...

  2. LOL @ the name changer...
    Cowboys problem is their O-line is killing their ability to sustain drives. If they don't hit the long plays, they can't score (see the redskins game).
    3-3 for the 49ers, but that teams lack of discipline is apalling
    FREE MIKE VICK!!!
    So what is going on with Percy Harvin, is it only Brett Farve sucks hosewater or is he not running the right routes? It seemed like he and Old Man time weren't on the same field in the 1st game.

  3. Yes we are now tracking fantasy wins/losses... As long as I keep winning.

    Don't think D Hall can shutdown Johnson but maybe Miles Austin, DJ and whoever the Giants best WR is... I agree when you play a top 3 WR you need to bracket him.

    Oh Revis grabbing his hamstring looked like hurt pride. Moss did him up in 3 yards... Ask Trey, I was dyin. Moss made 1 move and put his hand up as to say "I just made him my bitch, throw me the rock for this TD." That's not the only play Moss got him either...

    The problem with Favre is what happens when you miss training camp and you have a real schedule.
