Another Whacky Week
The NFL this year has already proven to be whacky, and it's only week two. More importantly, the Broncos are off the shnide! But here are some teams who some people wouldn't be, or would be, 2-0 or 0-2.
Carolina Panthers 0-2
This team is an entirely different team without playmaking wide reciever Steve Smith, but that is no reason to already be 0-2, and 0-1 in division play. The Cats of Carolina were a super bowl team. Even MGM had them highest, over the Cowboys, in their latest odds. The start has been disapointing at best. For Panthers fans, and gamblers, let's hope Steve Smith comes back soon.
Miami Dolphins 0-2
The Fins didn't have as much potential coming into this season as the Panthers did, but they had a lot of it. With the Patriots unloading guys right and left some people, including me, thought this could be the year where the might Pats were dethroned. After losing a close one to Pittsburgh, and then getting a swift kick in the ass by AFC East rival Buffalo, Dolphins fans should get ready to press the panic button. Not only are they 0-2, 0-1 in division play, but New England is 2-0, and 2-0 in division play. If they want to catch up, they have some serious work to do. On another note, Jason Taylor is an animal, and is arguably the most underrated player in the NFL.
New Orleans Saints 2-0
Who'da thunk it right? The Nawlans Saints off to a 2-0 start. But look who they have beaten, Cleveland and Green Bay. Lets face it, this team will drop 6 automatically to the superior teams in the NFC South, then they will probably drop a few more a long the way, because they aren't that good. But I'm rooting for them.
San Diego Super Chargers 2-0
Like the Saints, the Chargers have played some subpar teams in Oakland, and Tennessee. Nonetheless, this team looks phenomenal. Phillip Rivers is the most efficient passer in the league. Antonio Gates can't be guarded with one guy. LaDainian Tomlinson is the best player in the NFL, and in two full games, he's played about three and a half quarters. More importantly, their defense is playing outstanding. Lamont Jordan and Randy Moss are solid football players, and Shawn Merriman and company completely shut them down. As a Broncos fan, I'm worried. When will the Jay Cutler era begin?
Minnesota Vikings 2-0
I don't know how, but the kicker for Minnesota has more touchdown passes than Jake Plummer. I say, let's sign him. Minnesota has won two very close games. The Panthers shouldn't have done the ill-advised fake punt, and won that game easily. Had John Hall made the field goal in week one, this Minnesota team could just as easily be 0-2. Childress is a solid coach, and the team has already experienced almost as much success as all of last year. Don't think that they will catch the Bears though, that would be a big mistake on your part.
Chicago Bears 2-0
Anyone who really knows me would tell you I am a Rex Grossman fan. I have liked him since his early days in Gainsville. Although, I didn't think he was smart enough, or mobile enough, to make it in the NFL. Hopefully I'm wrong, but if Sunday's game was any indication of his future, I am way wrong. He lit it up, and completely dominated on offense. If the Bears offense is this good, with a defense like theirs, honestly , watch out come February.
Green Bay Packers 0-2
I am just kidding, everybody knew they would be 0-2, I mean come on.
Atlanta Falcons 2-0
Vick is probably my second favorite football player behind Champ Bailey (And Michael Owen, pending on what kind of "football" you're thinking of). Also, I have also thought that the west coast offense is the dumbest thing a coach can do with an athlete like Vick under center. The best athlete in the league cannot be in an offense where he is supposed to make quick reads and get rid of the ball very fast. He should have it for as long as he can until he makes a decision. And everybody loves watching this guy, he's just exciting. I sure as hell will never forget his 50 yard walk off touchdown run againts Minnesota in overtime in his second year. It was probably in the top 10 NFL plays I had ever seen. if Warrick Dunn and Vick continue to run for 300 yards a game, they can go undefeated.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 0-2
Another alleged "playoff" team that is 0-2. Simms played great last year, and so did Cadillac and the defense. So far nobody has player very good, except maybe Joey Galloway. Gruden could probably play quarterback better that Simms right now, and Charlie Garner could probably play running back better than Cadillac right now. Like the Dolphins this team is going to have to turn it around now if they want to make the playoffs in a division like this.
Other Notes
Bills have outplayed their opponent twice, but are still only 1-1
Broncos defense single handedly won the game on Sunday
Pennington and the Jets are already doing better than I predicted
Raiders might go winless
Vince Young should start now
Bengals are tough, but the hit on Chad Johnson was even tougher
Seriously, he was bleeding from the neck
Ok peace out
