Well that time of year has come around FINALLY. The NFL has started up with week 1 in the books. Lots of interesting things happened, so here is my round up of the events.
Mike Vick doesn't want to take the big hits anymore so on Sunday he devised the bold strategy of attempting to confuse the browns defence by throwing it to them to make them think they were on his team so they wouldn't hit him. He ended still getting hit and throwing 4 picks, in a winning effort but still 4 picks against the browns, what happens against the niners 7 picks? The eagles won 17-16 (insert vomit here)
The pats defence looked excellent. There be it against a 2nd year qb they still held the Titans running game to something like 20 total yds. With Chris Johnson being back there thats a really good sign so a D that struggled last year. Brady looked like Brady and they put up 27 of the 34 points the pats scored. The biggest surprise was the pats running game i think, 125 yds from Stevan Ridley, that will go a long way to giving Brady time to throw. Pats won 34-13
The Niners asserted themselves as the 1st or 2nd best team in the NFL (depends where you put the pats). They made Green Bays offence look irrelevant at times (we all know it isn't). They made Aaron Rodgers make mistakes that Aaron Rodgers doesn't make. Alex Smith was an excellent game manager and did exactly what he has to do the rest of the year for this team to excel. Niners won 30-22
The J.E.T.S jets jets jets either woke up from there offensive slumber or they are still dreaming it just changed from a nightmare to a dream. Mark Sanchez looked like a QB not a guy with a ball thats confused. The Bills looked god awful and lost Fred Jackson (again). Rookie wide out Stephen Hill was excellent for the jets and should fill a hole in that offence. Jets won 48-28
The Redskins and RG3 looked excellent all over the ball (on offence). Griffin was poised and accurate throwing for 320 and 2 TD's. The defence allowed 32 points though. So counting on Griffin to keep scoring at a high rate i think is a little too much to ask a rookie. Either way very impressive win for the Skins but they need to sure up that defence. Skin's win 40-32
Finally Peyton Manthing (also known as Manning) looked very very good in his return. He conducted the no huddle like he had never left indy, leaving a Steelers D tired and baffled. Broncos D also looked really good, Dumervil and Miller were studs and the corners did there job and then some. Broncos are a contender this year probaly in Top 3 right now by my opinion.
Finally i do this one because it makes me laugh. The Texans pulled of the huge upset of the MIAMI DOLPHINS with lauren tannehill at QB (i wish). The Dolphins are awful and are lucky to have only had 30 pts put on them. Ryan tannehill threw 3 picks and that is all i know because i didn't waste my time watching the game because like i said the Dolphins are awful. The only time i will watch the Miami Dolphins is if the halftime show is televised and its the above mentioned Lauren Tannehill running around in a bikini, if that doesn't happen this will probably be the last time i mention that disgrace of a team. Texans win 30-10
Other winners included Cowboys, Cardinals, Bears, Falcons, Lions, Vikings, Bucs, Ravens, Chargers.
Games to watch next week, Bears/Packers(TNF), Ravens/Eagles, Saints/Panther, Lions/Niners(SNF), Broncos/Falcons(MNF)
Can we take a minute to thank me for not mentioning tebow once in that whole things. That a big W in my books.
