Week 1 Recap

The only thing that would have made Vegas better was getting to watch more of these games... This is the best time of the year by far.

Let’s begin with the best game, Ravens v. Jets the hitting that took place in this game was phenomenal and the refs let them play well after the whistle. Maybe someone should spread the secret that one shouln’t talk shit to, about or in the general vicinity of Ray Lewis… He hit Justin Keller so hard he probably cursed Sanchize out, plus that could have impacted his ability to know stick to the ball out for the 1st down which ended the game. Think about it, he looked a little out of it… I thought Ray might lose a step this year but he looked better than last year. Anquan Boldin was ballin, Ace said he’ll be hurt by Week 4… Cromartie was high/low, nice pick, not great, but 3 or 4 interference calls? Best quote by Jemelle Hill, I have to paraphrase “Antonio Cromartie just can’t keep his hands to himself” followed by a look by the mediator and they both started laughing. She said it was unintentional, I replied to her that I don’t care, that was funny and he probably doesn’t read twitter or much of anything. The Jets clearly miss Thomas Jones and Alan Faneca which no one is really talking about. That guy Haloti Ngata ran over to sack Sanchize was supposed to replace him… Just reported Kris Jenkins torn ACL, done for the season... Major blow

Mike Vick proved he should be a starting QB. What’s telling is that the Eagles offensive players were dejected with Kevin Kolb on the field. When Vick stepped on the field there was a visual difference in their demeanor… Stop playing Andy Reid, start Vick. Did you all see him turn that corner… But that hit he unnecessarily took made no sense. He may be trying to prove his AB skills too much, he could have run for a score when he threw to DJ… Aaron Rodgers did not ball as I expected him to… Let’s get that together 1st round fantasy pick! They did win the game though.

LaRon Landry had 17 tackles, I guess someone had to tackle Miles Austin cuz he was ballin out of control unlike the Cowboys O Line… Again a 1st, 3rd and 6th and $49M for Roy Williams… Who was taken 2 picks after the Lions used the Cowboys pick to draft Brandon Pettigrew? Michael Oher… Sandra Bullocks blindside protecting son… Hmm… The Boys defense is legit, but Jason Garrett needs to get slapped. Again T.O. said this was a problem but no one wanted to listen to him. On to the Skins, it’s not like they were impressive on offense but DeAngelo Hall won the game for them. Say what you want about him, but Hall makes plays… Apparently they are trying to trade Haynesworth again.

The Texans beat the Colts for the 2nd time ever… I think Mario Williams wants DPOY. Arian Foster was on the practice squad 12 months ago? 231 yards and 3 TDs. The question is can the Texans keep it up? They have always been inconsistent… If they don’t make the playoffs Gary Kubiak needs to go, I think I said the same thing last year. How is it this guy is allowed to underperform expectations every year and not even feel some heat. Lovie Smith is on the hot seat and his team has no where near the talent and is annually decimated by injuries. I digress… The Colts will be fine.

Lion’s Calvin Johnson got robbed… No need to talk about anything else except the Bear’s Matt Forte, ballin. Early bid for comeback player of the year… He may have to fight Cutler for it though. Forte had the 3rd highest receiving yards in the league, let’s go PPR! 7 rec, 151 yards, 2 TDs, 50 yards rushing. But what’s up with the 2 fumbles, 1 lost? What does this mean for the Bears? Martz doesn’t like to run the ball and it’s cold in the CHI come November…

Didn’t see the Titans beat the Raiders, but CJ had another 100 yard game, VY’s QB rating was 142.8! He threw less than 20 times, but 2 were for 6. Pittsburgh next week, stay away from Troy Vince, you can’t treat him like his fellow Trojan Matt Leinart.

David Garrard showed the Tim Tebow fans in northern Florida why the Jags shouldn’t have drafted him, although that DT no one had ever heard of wasn’t a much better pick. 3 TDs, none of which went to Mike Sims-Walker… That guy gets no respect, he’s not elite but Tim Tebow will never reach his level.

The Patriots beat down the Bengals, but of course that wasn’t the story. TO and Chad Johnson went to the locker room before the end of the half and everyone is acting like it’s a huge deal. Did Carson even get the hail mary pass into the endzone? No! Sometimes I hate ESPN. Chad did ball though… Carson needs to step it up, as does the defense. I reiterate, Wes Welker needs to be tested for HGH. What is wrong with Randy Moss? He’s 34/35 on TV with a doorag, hat, headphones trying to make a serious point? Stop… Am I going to regret drafting him #2? Tom Brady also needs to stop letting his wife dress him and make his haircut decisions…

Someone tell Pete Carrol he’s not in the Pac-10, cuz that’s the kind of beatdown he put on the 49ers… Mike Williams is the front runner for comeback player of the year… Can Hasselbeck stay healthy? Mike Singletary was smiling after the game… You know that’s not a good sign. He called a mandatory meeting after the team returned to SF Sunday night… He called out the O Line, Alex Smith and Michael Crabtree. Accountability, that’s how you win, not beating around the bush and making your team “Romo-friendly”

Who saw the Chiefs beating the Chargers? As Trey said, VJ is sitting at home saying “Pay Me Bitch!” Wasn’t in the mood to watch the game after the great game that preceeded it, how was Rivers blind side protected without Marcus McNeil? He and VJ probably got together and shook their heads…

The Steelers beat the Falcons, didn’t see it so all I’ve read is Dixon doesn’t panic.
The Dolphins barely beat the Bills
The Bucs beat the Browns, I wanted to see Kellen Winslow go “I’m A F**kin Warrior” on his former team. How do you badmouth a guy who got a staph infection from your dirty faciliy?
The Cardinals barely beat the Rams, Breaston had 132 yards though


Week 2 Questions?
Baltimore @ Cincy(who swept them last year), the Bengals start 0-2?
Chicago @ Dallas, who is blocking Julius Peppers?
Patriots @ Jets, hmm… If one confuse the best USC QB in week 1, what do you do to the 3rd best USC QB in the league week 2? (Carson, Cassel, Sanchize………. Leinart, if they still claim him)
Eagles @ Lions, who starts? Reid will probably/should punk out and say he wants to make sure Kolb is ok and have him sit some more (Did you see what Suh did to Delhomme?)
Texans @ Skins, Skins O-Cord knows the Texans offensive to a T… Which O-Cord gives the best scouting report?

I'll try to shorten next week...
