NFL Week 1
After one whole week in the NFL, there have already been some surprises and upsets. It's bound to be a wild year in the ol' NFL. I didn't see all the games, but I did manage to see highlights of all of them.
Pittsburgh 28
Miami 17
I did manage to see all of this game. Daunte Caulpepper didn't impress me, niether did Ronnie Brown or Chris Chambers. But this Dolphins team played the defending champions very tough, in Pittsburgh. Things are only going to get better for the Dolphins, and honestly, at this point, there is no doubt in my mind that they will contend for the division title. As for Pittsburgh, considering they were without their starting quarterback they played exceptionally well. Batch did a great job filling in for Big Ben, and everybody else around him stepped up their game. Willie Parker is an elite back, and sooner or later, everybody is going to have to accept it.
New Orleans 19
Cleveland 14
I know, I am a huge Reggie Bush fan (And I am an anti-Mario Williams fan). That said, he played phenomenal. 140 total yards in his debut. I think he is in a perfect situation with McAlister able to give him a break when neccesary, and vice versa. Eventually, he will get the majority of the carries, and all I can say is watch out. He's unbelievable, and he's going to go down as one of the best ever. A faster Ladanian Tomlinson, or a more explosive Gale Sayers, you choose. Cleveland played well for a pretty shitty team. Kellen Winslow looked good as he scored his first touchdown ever. Charlie Frye isn't a big name, but is a leader and played well. This offense will be tough in a few years with Breylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow along with Ruben Droughns. They suck for now though because a lack of defense and no offensive line.
Seattle 9
Detroit 6
Not a great start for the defending NFC champs, but that's what seperates the good teams from the great teams. A good team can play good throughout and still lose. A great team can play like shit for 3 1/2 quarters and win. They just signed Deion Branch, look out NFC West. Detroit's defense played surprisingly well, but don't count on it every week I mean come on, it's the fucking Lions.
New York Jets 23
Tennessee 16
A nail biter down in Tennessee. One that came down to Kerry Collins' arm. Who would have thought that possible three months ago when he was unemployed, but good for him. Vince Young started out 4/4, but his last completion was to the Jets. Tennessee played tough, and even Travis Henry scored a touchdown. Unfortunately for them, Coach Mangini and Chad Pennington outlasted the Shitty shitty bang bang
Cincinnatti 23
Kansas City 10
Cincinnatti played tough offensively, and Carson Palmer is still OK after one game. Rudi Johnson is the unsung hero on this team, and all can expect a big year from that man. Kansas City didn't look like the playoff contenders people once thought they were. Larry Johnson, Mr. 2000 yards, had a mere 68 yard performance, and Trent Green got injured with a concussion and could miss the next two games
St Louis 18
Denver 10
This one bothered me, more than a Broncos loss should. Our defense played great. We stopped them to field goals three times in our redzone which is fantastic, but I would feel safer with rookie Jay Cutler in their instead of that fucking retard we got taking the snaps. A ten year veteran should not make those kind of throws at this stage in his career. The Bells looked good, over 190 total yards and a touchdown. Javon Walker is something I am very excited about, that is if Cutler starts ASAP. Rams sucked out big time due to Jake the fucking snake Plummer.
New England 19
Buffalo 17
Bills fans should be stoked. They played that well against a very good team. Given this is the worst Patriots team in years, they are still the Patriots. Losman, McGahee and Whittner all looked great, and even A-Train played good. But as I said about the Seahawks, great teams can play like shit and still win football games. The Patriots find ways to win. Deion Branch is gone now, and so are a bunch of other recievers, but I don't care. With Brady undercenter and Billiceik on the sideline, they will always be in games.
Baltimore 27
Tampa Bay 0
The Baltimore defense of old re-surfaced and looked good, very good. Chris Simms looked like a lost rookie, and Carnell "Cadillac" Williams had an awful game. Was this the Bucaneers being horrible, or the Ravens playing great? I think it was a mix. Which is bad for Bucs fans, and great for Ravens fans.
Atlanta 20
Carolina 6
I'll be honest, my three favorite teams are the Broncos, Bills, and Falcons. At least one of them won. By the way I only like them because of Vick. Probably my second favorite football player. I'm glad he has found some success, especially against a very tough Panthers defense. Realize, the Panthers are a very different team without Steve Smith, but Atlanta looked tough, and John Abraham is a monster.
Philadalphia 24
Houston 10
I hate the Eagles with a passion, probably my least favorite team. But I'm not mad because the Texans brought it upon themselves with the worst draft management in NFL history. This franchise will forever be cursed because of it. McNabb looked great, and Donte Stallworth has already proven to be a key acquisition. They will contend for the NFC West, but I mean come on, this was only the Texans.
Chicago 26
Green Bay 0
Has Favre ever been shutout at Lambeau? No, not until Sunday. This team has AJ Hawk, and that's pretty much it. Favre has to move on for this franchise to move on. They aren't going anywhere with ol' number four under center. He is playing like Jake Plummer more and more every snap, and that is NOT a good thing by any stretch of imagination. Rex Grossman looked good, and he may not be mobile, and he may not be smart, but he cant throw the ball a mile. What a cannon. With their defense, and an adequate offense, they will be pretty tough come January.
Arizona 34
San Francisco 27
I'll be honest, the Cardinals offense looked impressive. I was a Kurt Warner doubter, and still am. One problem with the team down in Phoenix. SAN FRANCISCO SCORED 27 POINTS ON THEM. Thats the highest scoring game the niners have had since the T.O. era. If the Niners can score 27 on them, just about anybody good. Im rooting for them because I hate Seattle, but they need some help defensively.
Jacksonville 24
Dallas 17
The Cowboys first drive looked amazing. I thought they would have killed the Jags. But naturally Bledsoe would throw three interceptions on his way to a loss with a far superior team. The NFL is simple. Run the ball well. Play good defense. Win the turnover battle. Those three things will win a game without fail. Ask Nathan or Shane about my Madden team in every franchise mode ever. Best defense, great running back, and an offense that runs the ball 80% of the time. I don't know why it is that hard of concept, but Bledsoe still sucks, but not as bad as Jake "I should've been a" Plummer.
Indianapolis 26
New York Giants 21
The Manning bowl was actually a very fun game to watch. Peyton outplayed Eli if you ask me, mainly because of Eli's ill-advised pass late in the game. But that offensive pass interference call was bullshit. Another reason why the replay system should include challenging penalties. Both teams should be very successful this year, so Giants fans don't worry. Plaxico Burress is a man among boys. Probably the most underrated wide reciever in the NFL.
Minnesota 19
Washington 16
This one shocked me. I thought Washington was a way better team, and I still think they are. If John Hall makes the field goal, they might have won it. Portis, no matter what anyone says, is still feeling the effects from a dislocated shoulder and will probably suffer more and more injuries for the duration of the season. Minnesota, you suck, and above all else, you're boring to watch. I hope you suck, and maybe next year draft or sign somebody cool or somesing.
Chargers 27
Oakland 0
Ladanian Tomlinson is the best player in the NFL. I have always said it. All of you Larry Johnson fans, he had 68 yards compared to LT's 160+. He also scored a touchdown. As a Broncos fan, I'm worried. Drew Brees was limiting LT, and I fear he is going to be unstoppable this year. May god have mercy on our souls.

WHAT.. just because you know i love them. Nice matthew, very nice.
Matt has the worst team
The cardinals have no defense? Who gives a shit? No one ever said defense wins championships. Kurt Warner wins championships.
I hate the Eagles for a lot more reasons than you, you self centered little girl. My Madden team consistantly has the best record in franchise mode. And Sorry Ol' Dirty Bastard, but the Niners dropped 27 on them. Come on
I think its safe to say that this is a sham....
Matt's team is always the worst.
