NFL Week 2

Well, after 2 weeks into the 2010 NFL season we need to catch up with the favorite teams of our fellow bloggers.

Are you happy with your team's start?  Already panicking?  Looking forward to next year already?

Washington Redskins (1-1):  Lost Sunday to the Texans. A little disappointing in that they were up by 17 and lost. Also didn't help that the 'Skins kicker made the winning kick, but didn't count because of the low class move of being able to call a timeout at the last second before the snap......Good news: McNabb has looked good so far...defense has and will continue to play well....I think they could go 8-8 and with some breaks maybe 10-6 and a possible playoff.

Indianapolis Colts (1-1): Beat the crap out of the Giants....Manning is Manning...Thank God the Colts have Peyton, not Eli........Are they this team or the one which got run over by the Texans in week 1?  I'm sure they still make the playoffs and a possible Super Bowl run......Over time I have come to respect and like Peyton more as I think he's a quality person.

San Francisco 49'ers (0-2): wow!  There was a lot of hype before the season regarding the 'Niners. After last night's game my review concludes that they have a very nice defense. I really like there linebackers.  Not real fond of the D backs.  They need to improve the fundamentals and special teams. That's where they lost the game to the Saints.  Muffed punt return led directly to a Saints score, which made the difference. I like Singletary as a coach and I'm surprised as the lapse in fundamentals. Right now this team could go either way....straighten up and go on a roll or it may be a long disappointing season.

Dallas Cowboys (0-2) : Supposed to be Super Bowl contenders this year...supposed to be one of the most talented teams in the league....I don't know...I see a lot of weaknesses, especially the offensive line. They don't seem too committed to the run and that leaves you depending on Tony Romo to win you games....ouch!   I predict that poor Wade Phillips won't finish the season as head coach.

Kansas City Chiefs (2-0) : It's nice that one of the original AFL teams is seemingly back!  I like the moves they've made. They haven't panicked over the past few years and have made some good draft picks. Cassel may not be a superstar at QB, but I don't think he loses you games either. Not sure if I make them a playoff team...yet.  Need to see a few more wins to believe, but they do play in a very weak West division and already have a win over the Chargers.

Miami Dolphins (2-0) : My team, so I'm going to go lightly.  We've been down for some time. Won the division year before last,but lost 1 game into playoffs.  The defense really seems to be an up and comer, although I can barely name you more than 4 starters....Chad Henne is still a work in progress at QB and that could be their downfall....Also, can't have either Ronnie Brown or Ricky Williams get hurt. This week we play the Jets on Sunday night.....obviously I want a win, but if not I want to see them play a full 60 minutes

Philadelphia Eagles (1-1) : 1st, let me say please bring back the uniforms they wore on opening day! You know, the ones which were actually GREEN!  Look at pictures of when Buddy Ryan coached. I watch Eagles games even though they're not "my" team. I probably root for them to win almost every week, but please get rid of the blueish-green color!  With that said....I'm not sure if they are a playoff team this year.  Like the 'Skins they could go 8-8 or better with breaks. ...QB has to be figured out.  I like Kolb, always have. I think he's got a great arm, but obviously lacks experience.   Vick played well against the Lions and don't sneeze this year at the Lions "D".  The one drawback the Eagles have has never left town.....that's the play calling of Andy Reid!

Baltimore Ravens (1-1) : I figured the defense would still be good, but they have been stout the 1st two games! They've given up 10 and 15 points respectively in the first 2 games. They should be 2-0 with only given up that few points.  I tell you, if the offense doesn't start playing better and scoring points I think Ray Lewis may take Joe Flacco to a back alley...... They are as skilled on offense as any team, but I'm not sure if Harbaugh knows how to utilize them.  Playoff team, but not a title contender until they can start to score some points.

Good luck everyone in week 3. I hope all our teams win!

  1. looks like phillys qb situation is resolved as vick has been named the starter...good decision only because the o line is banged up and kolb wouldnt have a chance...not sure how it shakes out for the future but it will certainly be fun to watch.

  2. I was a Kolb supporter over Vick in the preseason but i cant argue with the way Vick is playing and he needs to be on the field. I see two things coming from this. Vick gives the Eagles a good chance to win because of oline sucking right now. The second is Andy is actually admitting that he sucked at putting together a good oline.

    The funny thing is Andy said that Kolb is still the future. Unless he overpays him next year why in the hell would he stay. Anyway Andy Reid has finally put his ego aside for once, i love it.
