Week Two in the NFL

Let’s start with the most important game...The World Champion NY Football Giants destroyed the St. Louis Rams in St. Louis, 41-13. And that is despite the fact that the Giants insisted on running the ball, when everyone of their receivers were standing around open. Imagine what they would have done, if there were actually some decent, offensive play calling. Also, Eli over threw some of those wide open receivers but his confidence was definitely up from last year. He had some “ballsy” plays that you would never have seen from Eli last year. A blind pitch to a running back and a trick play. I am happy to see him able to through a pitch behind him without worrying whether the receiver will be there to catch it. It shows confidence in his team he didn’t have before. Last week, Plaxico was “you can’t cover me Burress” and he played well this week too. He actually through a few blocks and everything, but he shared his receiving with Toomer this week. All together they played well and I think their sideline jackets should say “Tiki Barber is gay!!” on them. If you do not agree, please download the episode of Project Runway, which features Tiki Barber.

Moving on...
Denver surprised Sand Diego and won 39-38. San Diego should have one, but a referee called an obvious fumble by Cutler, an incomplete forward pass, and gave the ball to the Broncos to score in the final minute. You have got to give them credit though, they went for 2 instead of playing it safe and won instead of tying. The referee admitted blowing the call and apologized to the Chargers, but that doesn’t help them, does it? If they would have played harder the rest of the game it wouldn’t have come down to one call...actually Rivers threw for 377 yards, so I guess he couldn’t do too much else. Stupid Ref!

Pittsburgh beat Cleveland 10-6 in the Sunday night game, but it was so boring I feel asleep. Parker rushed for 105 yards but everyone else was unimpressive.

New England beat the Jets, maybe now they can take down the Favre for President signs. Jets fans are crazy. Favre is an old, overrated, million dollar cry baby and they have changed their cheer to J-E-T-S, Favre, Favre, Farve!!! I have no tolerance for fans that spell the name of their teams as a cheer! Perhaps that is because my family had season tickets to the Giants and the guy who sat behind us regularly yelled things like “step on his neck!” and spit in his eye!”

Arizona ran over Miami 31-10, but did you expect anything else? They put up the statistic that Favre and Werner are to 2 oldest QBs to ever beat the same team back to back. How random is that! The Dolphins played so poorly that the Cardinals game Leinhert some PT!!!

We all knew Tampa Bay would beat ATL, and they did, 24-9. Who cares?

San Fran beat Seattle 33-30. I wouldn’t have picked that. O’Sullivan had 330 yrds passing...I know what you are thinking...who is O’Sullivan. I didn’t know either. He is the QB for San Fran now. Who knew? What the heck is going on with Seattle? Matt, you better step up before you end up like you brother; living off his wife, the dumb blonde girl on the View.

Carolina beat Chicago and surprisingly Buffalo beat Jacksonville. However, the biggest surprise may be Washington over New Orleans. With the way the Redskins didn’t play last week, I almost picked New Orleans in my Elimination Bowl, thank God, I went with the Giants!!! I guess it helped the Campbell completed 24 of 36 passes for 321 yards, but they were actually behind until the 4th quarter where they came back with 3 minutes left and the Saints didn’t respond.

Titans beat the Bengals, even with “Ocho Cinco” Rushing for 110 yards. I guess that the only thing happening with the Bengals...you do know that Chad Johnson legally changed his name to Chad Ocho-Cinco, so that he can have it written on the back of his jersey, right? What a joke. Just like the way the Bengals played yesterday!

Indianapolis squeaked passed Minnesota in what everyone though was going to be a blow out. Indy lost last week and played just as bad this week...maybe Peyton is now the lesser Manning...step aside big bro! Eli wants to show you some things!!!!!

Green Bay beat Detroit, but they were out played the first half. Out of nowhere Green Bay took off and won and I am happy for them because my hate for Favre only increases my desire to see Rodgers succeed.

But everyone this week is pointing and laughing at the Kansas City Chiefs...they lost to the Raiders. Most people don’t even know if the Raiders play in Oakland or LA anymore, but 146 people got knocked out of my pool when the Raiders knocked out KC 23-8!!!! They put in crappy QB after crappy QB and they even played a wide receiver at quarterback. (a guy whose picture isn't even up on their roster). Larry Johnson is not happy, but I am!
Below you can find the candidates for KC's QB-1 position:





Tonight, the Eagles take on Dallas. I hate them both, but I am pulling for the Eagles for the first time in my life because if they win, 90 something people get knocked out of my survivor pool. But my God...McNabb is a bigger joke than Favre.
How many years can you rely on a QB to be mediocre? What is this guy 100?

Monday Night:
Dallas beat the Eagles in a score fest; 41-37. I saw Tony Romo fumble in his own end zone twice... on the same play...when he was all alone. (Insert Jessica Simpson joke of your choice, here). The Eagles should have and would have won, if it weren't for McNabb's crappy hand-off to Westbrook for a fumble and then on their march toward their last chance at victory in the final seconds, McNabb got sacked for a huge loss and then forgot he was supposed to run out of bounds to stop the clock. Dallas over Philly- Blame Donovan!
