Bear's/Packer's - Essentially a sack competition and a pretty poor offensive showing for both teams. In the end the Packer's pulled off the win. My favorite moment of the game was Donald Driver doing his little celebratory jig in the end zone after his TD. Bear’s 10 – Packer’s 23
Saint's/Panther's - Saints are 0-2, perhaps all of the offseason turmoil was too much. Bree's was 31-49, 325 yards and 1 TD passing, Newton was 14-20, 253 yards and 1 TD passing and was also the Panther's top rusher with 71 yards on 13 carries. Newton poses big challenges to D's with his speed and arm strength. Seems he was too much in the end for the Saint's D. Saint’s 27 – Panther’s 35
Giant's/Bucs - I was at this game and let me tell you, it was a horrible game for the first 3 quarter's and 8 minutes. Manning threw 3 Int's and blew numerous passes, Cruz was in heavy coverage all day, the score was actually a lot closer than it seemed going into the last 8 minutes. In the end, just like last year Manning pulled it off in the 4th quarter. Hakeem Nick’s ended the day as the Giant’s top receiver, 10-19 for 199 yards and 1 TD (all of this on a still banged up toe). Bradshaw left the game early with a neck injury and Andre Brown replaced him at RB. What a day for Brown after waiting patiently for his chance for years, 13 carries for 71 yards and his first TD. For the Buc’s Josh Freeman and Vincent Jackson are starting to build a great chemistry, expect big things to come from them. Also, for being one of the oldest CB’s in the NFL Ronde Barber is still on top of his game, he had great coverage on a lot plays causing Manning’s passes to go incomplete. Highlight of the game was Coughlin berating Schiano after the game because the Buc’s D went all out on the last play of the game when Manning was taking a knee ( after he told them he would be doing so). The O-line all got taken out at the knees and Manning ended up on his bum. Though it is not illegal, it is and has been an unspoken rule that when a team takes a knee on the final play, the game is over. Simple as that. Thanks to Victor Cruz for 23 fantasy points! Giant’s 41 – Buc’s 34
Jet’s/Steeler’s – After an impressive game 1 the Jet’s played horribly week 2 vs. the Steeler’s. Sanchez was 10-27, 138 yards and 1 TD vs. a depleted Steeler’s D. Big Ben pretty much doubled Sanchez offensively, 24-31 for 275 yards and 2 TD’s. The Jet’s D minus Revis, played like crap. So much for the wildcat, Tebow only play 3 plays in the game but did account for the longest run of the day for the Jet’s with 20 yards. Seems to me like perhaps they should have let him run it more since Sanchez seemed incapable of passing this game. Steeler’s took this one easily. Jet’s 10 – Steeler’s 27
Chief’s/Bill’s – Didn’t really watch or pay attention to this one. CJ Spiller had another great game with 15 carries for 123 yards and 2 TD’s. He’s finally beginning to look like a top RB as expected when he was drafted in the 1st round a few years ago. Chief’s 17 – Bill’s 35
Brown’s/Bengal’s – Both young, red headed QB’s had great days. Wheeden was 26-37 for 322 yards and 2 TD’s. Dalton was 24-31 for 318 yards and 3 TD’s. So much for red headed QB’s not being able to do well in the NFL ( http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/sports/Are-Dolphins-Behind-Dalton-Red-Headed-Conspiracy-120304089.html). Thanks T Rich for 25 fantasy points!! Bengals win this one. Brown’s 17 – Bengal’s 34
Viking’s/Colt’s – Both young QB’s in the game had decent day’s as well. Ponder 27-35 for 245 yards and 2 TD’s, Luck 20-31 for 224 yards and TD’s. This game came down to the final seconds with Vinatieri kicking a game winning field goal for the Colt’s. Viking’s 20 – Colt’s 23
Raider’s/Dolphin’s – Palmer perhaps should have stayed retired. Maybe it’s time for Leinart to come in and replace him. Tannehill is looking impressive thus far this season. Seems Miami was right after all to draft him in round 1.Reggis Bush (my fantasy RB with 31 points!) had quite the game for himself, 26 carries for 172 yards and 2 TD’s. Dolphin’s win this one with ease. Raider’s 13 – Dolphin’s 35
Cardinal’s/Patriots – I love seeing the Patriot’s loose. The fact that they lost to Kevin Kolb and the Cardinal’s is awesome. Who would have picked the Cardinal’s to start off 2-0. Game came down to a missed field goal for the Patriot’s by Gostkowski (my fantasy kicker, I will forgive him as he had 16 points). Cardinal’s 20 – Patriot’s 18
Raven’s/Eagles – This was a feisty matchup, lots of fighting. Both D’s looked great. DeMecco Ryan’s was a great pickup for the Eagles in the offseason, his late interception was a key point in the game. Vick is still holding on to the ball too long, taking too many hits and trying to force too many big plays. Hopefully he learns his lesson soon before his body makes a decision for him. Flacco looked good in the game but regressed a little after last week’s stellar performance. Eagle’s pull off another last minute 1 point win. Raven’s 23 – Eagle’s 24
Texan’s/Jaguar’s – Jaguar’s need to bench Gabbert. He entered the draft way too early and got drafted much higher than he should have been. He had an abysmal game, 7-19 for 53 yards and 1 TD. He had a QBR of 9.6. Schaub was 26-35 for 195 yards and 1 TD, basically he tripled Gabbert’s production. Texan’s take the win. Texan’s 27 – Jaguar’s 7
Redskin’s/Ram’s – RG III had a great game, 20-29 for 209 yards. He threw for 1 TD and rushed for 2 more. Bradford seems to finally be healthy again and his production shows it, 26-35 for 310 yards and 3 TD’s. Ram’s top RB, Steven Jackson left the game injured. Very close game till the end, but the Ram’s edge the Redskin’s. Redskin’s 28 – Ram’s 31
Cowboy’s/Seahawk’s – The Seahawk’s beat up the Cowgirl’s in this game. Their D proved too much for Romo and his offense. Russell Wilson had another decent showing in his second game. It will be interesting to see which Cowboy’s team is the real deal, the one that showed up against the Giant’s or the one that showed up against the Seahawk’s. Cowboy’s 7 - Seahawk’s 27
Titans/Charger’s – Jake Locker is going to need to step it up if he wants to keep his starting job. Titans are also going to have to find their running game because Locker was the top rusher with a meek 21 yards. Chris Johnson got his big contract, time for him to put up the big numbers. Rivers played well as usual, 24-32 for 284 yards and 3 TD’s. Charger’s dominated this one. Titan’s 10 - Charger’s 38
Lion’s/49er’s – Let me start by saying I drafted Stafford as my number 1 pick in fantasy football this year based off last year’s stellar performance. I am beginning to regret it. I am thinking of benching him in favor of Smith because he is looking like the better QB this year. Thoughts? Stafford played like crap the first half. His chemistry with Megatron seems to be off this year. Granted they were playing the San Fran D, but the Lion’s offense was subpar most of the game. Alex Smith is finally playing consistently like a top QB and #1 draft pick. TE Vernon Davis also had a great showing, 5 receptions for 73 yards and 2 TD’s. Also of note, Schwartz and Harbaugh managed to act like grown men this time around and no one had to be restrained from throwing punches.
FINALLY
Bronco’s/Falcon’s – I and many others may have jumped the gone by saying Manning was back to his old self. He and most of the Bronco offense were atrocious the first half. Peyton threw 3 INT’s in the first quarter. His stats look better than he played, 24-37 for 241 yards and 1 TD. Maybe it was the indoor crowd noise, but the timing between him and his receiver’s was way off. McGahee put on a strong showing for the running game, 22 carries for 113 yards and 2 TD’s. He and Demaryus Thomas (also my fantasy WR with 13 points!), 8 receptions for 78 yards and 1 TD, were the only high points of the night for the Bronco’s They staged a late game comeback, but it was too little too later. Matty “Ice” Ryan dominated in the game, 24-36 for 219 yards and 2 TD’s. The Falcon’s failed to capitalize as much as they could have on many of the early turnover’s, settling for field goals instead of TD’s. All in all this game did not turn out to be the aerial thriller I thought it would be. Bronco’s 21 – Falcon’s 27
I would just like to mention my team OH MY TEBOW won in my fantasy football league this week, 138-82. I would like to that Trent Richardson (25pts), Reggis Bush (31pts) and Victor Cruz (23pts) for the efforts this week. Couldn’t have won without them!!
Till next time
Sassy
