With week #2 of the NFL season all but a memory, I must say that this season is begining to offer some big time surprises and a resurgence of the "any given sunday" mentality.
Prime examples: Jets, Pats, Ravens, Bengals.
After looking like a pee-wee passing game throughout their first game, the Jets, behind 2nd year Sanchise, regained their winnings ways this Sunday, not only shutting down Brady's potent air attack, but letting Sanchez flash some of the potential that made him that first round pick just two drafts ago.
On the other hand, Brady and the Pats jut couldn't seem to get it working in the second half after unleashing all hell on the Bengals a week earier. Maybe Brady isn't "Tom terrifict" anymore, or maybe his O-line just needs some shipoopi.
On to the Ravens. Is Flaco color blind? I wasn't really sure if he was trying to throw it directly to the Bengals secondary or what. Now with some help from the refs, total BS calls against Lewis and Suggs, the Bengalas were able to steal a win, but with the Steelers playing tough without Big Ben, the AFC North race should been a thriller.
Big Problems in Big D
What is going on in Dallas? Seriously. 0-2 after playing the skins and da bears?? Just wait now as the Cowboy's schedule starts to get tougher and this early season SB pick could be staring at an 0-5 record. Texas, Titans and Vikings. The road to some wins does not look easy! For a team that is 4th in the league in total yards, its pretty sad to see that their 25th in points. So much for the three headed running monster too. 29th in the league in rushing yards per game at 69.5. Starting worrying Jerry, this season could become pretty bad if something doesn't happen soon.
The Vikings ship has sailed.
Favre should have stayed retired and thats that. With 1 TD pass and 4 interceptions, he is begining to look more and more like the over-the-hill QB that he is. Advice to #4. stay retired.
Don't get too excited Philly.
The lions are still the lions. It's good to get a win, but I do not see a Kolb or Vick lead team making any noise in the NFL this year, of frnakly for the next 2-3 years. Right now the NFC east is clearly up for grabs.
Don't look now, the Bucs and Cheif's are 2-0
Crazy right? Well if you're fans of either team, don't get too excite yet. Bucs really don't have a chance with the Saints and Falcons in their division, however, I wouldn't count out the Cheifs...in another 2 to 5 years, when they are finally done rebuilding their team.
Pure excitement so far. So many questions and so few answer so far in this early season preview. Numerous teams continue to have monumental problems, however, my SB pick Packers are flying high on cruise control. The Texans are looking like a playoff team and the Chargers turned things around with an impressive win. The season is shaping up to be something exciting, so don't blink.
