NFL Week 1 Review

Posted by Amir Sahib on 09 Sep, 2008 at 08:45 AM in America, Football, NFL

These are just the reviews of the games I watched.  Ramadan obviously took up more of my NFL time, which is good.

Washington Redskins at New York Giants

Giants won!  Although the game was not as good as I expected for us.  The Redskins suddenly started to play in the 4th quarter which may have been due to the Giants being lazy at the end.  I was disappointed Eli Manning through an interception.

Giants: 17 – Redskins: 7

Dallas Cowboys at Cleveland Browns

The city of Cleveland was lively and the streets were crowded, but the stadium was practically empty.  The Cowboys invaded and eliminated.  I really hate the Cowboys.  If I was an Imam, I’d pass a fatwa against those who are Cowboys fans.  Clearly this is why I am not an Imam.  As much as I hate Romo, I must say he is a really good QB.

Cowboys:28 – Browns: 10

Chicago Bears at Indianapolis Colts

Wow!  The Bears defense is insane.  Peyton Manning took two timeouts and still was unsuccessful in scoring a touchdown.  Colts are not looking like they should be, but then again it is just the first week.

Bears: 29 – Colts: 13

Other notes

Eagles?  What are they eating!  38 – 3! The NFC East is by far the toughest division in the league.  Hands down.  NY Jets are winning?  Oh wait they have Favre now.  That’s why!  That must mean GB will probably lose.  Oh wait!  They won.  So Jets with Favre win and Packers without Favre win.  It’s a win-win situation! I wonder if those who love Favre will become Jets fans now, especially those..cough cough…who live in…cough cough…New York.

Games I’m looking foward to win Week 2:

  • NY Giants vs. St. Louis Rams – Sun. Sep. 14 at 1:00 PM on FOX
  • Philadelphia Eagles vs. Dallas Cowboys – Mon. Sept 15 at 8:30 PM on ESPN

I’ll miss the Eagles – Cowboys game due to tarwaeeh but I might do that “8-rakat” and watch the last quarter of the game.

PS – Tom Brady is injured and out for the season!  Alhamdulillah!

@MoSin – So now that you are a Jets fan, all you need to do is become a Mets fan and you’ll be officially a true New Yorker.

@loser 4 life – Allah willed that Tom Brady was going to be injured. It happened in Ramadan, so it definitely was not Shaytan. Haha!
