The Expected:
The Jets D was stellar, but yet again their offense resembled a middle of the pack D1 program. The Ravens are a legit D to go up against, but if you can’t put more than 9 points up on the board when your own D is giving you such great field position, then how do you expect to live up to your Super Bowl fantasy?
Lions show improvement. Despite the loss (total BS there), the Lions did keep the Bears from covering and showed some significant improvement with second year QB Stafford at the helm. Questions surround this team now that Stafford may be sidelines, but backup Sean Hill did lead an impressive drive that came one booth review away from a winning TD.
Texans are a playoff contender. Whereas no one expected the Texas to absolutely beat up on the Colts, it is clear that this team is legit, with a solid defense, good QB, power running back and one of the top three receivers in the game. Possible that this team takes the division, not just earns a wildcard spot.
Chris Johnson is amazing…not much more to say here. Another 75+ yard TD run and this guy shows why he is the consensus #1 fantasy player. Piles up stats on and off the field and allows Vince Young to play with
confidence.
The Shockers:
The Pete Carroll era has begun with a bang and who ever would have expected the Seahawks to blow out the Niners like that?? Shockers on both ends here. Are the Seahawks the new team to beat in the West or did the Niners forget that they were supposed to be playing football on Sunday? Time will tell here, but I would keep an eye on this division race.
Chargers and Cowboys inability to get in the end zone. Both teams have high powered offenses and should have won this week. I conclude that they will both be playoff teams come season end, but with such efficiency at the QB position this week, these teams need to figure out how to finish off drives with TDs. I would be more worried about the play calling in Big D then anything else.
The Stupid:
Jets for running their mouths before they had a chance to see what their anemic offense could actually do in a game
Cowboys coaching staff for that horrible play selection at the end of the first half.
Conclusion:
Week one offered some exciting moments as well as some not so exciting moments (Jets vs Ravens, Falcons vs Steelers). Yawn! The season is definitely shaping up to offer some new teams a chance at playoff glory, but until week #17, this guy is not going to make any predictions.. Just kidding
AFC: Chargers, Colts, Ravens, Pats, Titans, Texans
NFG: Niners, Packers, Saints, Cowboys, Vikings, Giants
Stay posted…week #2 picks will be ready soon.
