NFL Week 2 Review

with 15 comments

So week 2 turned out to be much better than the 1st week for many teams but also disappointing for others.

New York Giants at St. Louis Rams

It was a blow out!  Eli Manning, Amani Toomer and Plaxico Burress took the ram out of Rams.  Our defense even stepped up with that interception turning it into a touchdown.  We obliterated the Rams in the 4th quarter.  We face Cincinnati (0-2) next.  Shouldn’t be a problem.  Even the Ravens beat them the 1st week.

Giants: 41- Rams: 13

New Orleans Saints at Washington Redskins

Why is it that Jason Campbell can throw 321 yards and have posession of for 34:14 and yet win by less that a touchdown (5 points)?  Although they won the game with the amazing play by Santana Moss, I feel that Campbell still did not play his best in this game.  Also, Reggie Bush is not that great again.  Drew Brees looked good in the 1st half but seemed hopeless in the 2nd half.  Anyways they got the win and guess what they now have the same record as the Philadelphia Eagles.  Enjoy it while it last, because this will probably be the only time the Redskins will have that honor.

Redskins: 29 – Saints: 24

New England Patriots at New York Jets

Brett Favre needs to step up more and improve his thinking process when throwing.  Matt Cassell, the up and coming Tom Brady?  Not really, but I picked him up in Fantasy Football and he’s racking up a few points.  I really wanted the Jets to win this game, but it seems that even with out Brady, the Patriots still look good with the help of Randy Moss of course.

Patriots: 19 – Jets: 10

San Deigo Chargers at Denver Broncos

Chargers should have won this game.  The refs blew an incomplete pass and turned it into a fumble.  I must say though that the Broncos were pretty amazing at the end in those final minutes scoring the touchdown and then going for the 2-point conversion.

Broncos: 38 – Chargers: 38

Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys

Where the heck was the defense in this game?  I was hoping the Eagles would sack Romo a couple of times and get him injured, but that didn’t happen.  After watching both teams play, I now realize that either the Giants and/or the Redskins will not be going to the playoffs this year.  Unless Romo/Owens/McNabb/Westbrook are injured and out for the season like Brady.  Allah knows best.

Cowboys: 41 – Eagles: 37

Other notes:

Peyton Manning is struggling.  Buffalo, Green Bay, Tennessee and Denver are 2-0. Pittsburgh barely won against Cleveland.

Half of Ramadan is over… :-(

    Okay. I can’t lie (especially in Ramadan). Barber’s game winning touchdown was good.

  10. @loser4life – Buffalo is looking good. In fact I picked up their defense in fantasy. I didn’t watch the game that’s why I didn’t talk much about it.

  15. the skins always play to their competition’s level. one of the most inconsistent teams out there. I still love em though. I think 8-8 will be a successful year for them.
