Thoughts on NFL Week 2 (2011 Edition)

- Ndamukong Suh inspires toughness throughout the Lions organization. Even the mascot is getting in on the physical contact.
- You know your season isn’t going well when a sideline marker takes out your best running back, Jamaal Charles.
- The Chiefs have just entered the Andrew Luck sweepstakes.
- There hasn’t been a Chiefs defense (89 points surrendered) this bad since Wounded Knee.
- Todd Haley on the hotseat?
- Lions TE Tony Scheffler having fun finding the end zone.
- The Lions will go as far as Matt Stafford’s health.
- The Ravens played their Super Bowl last week.
- Whew! Glad I switched at the last minute from the Ravens to the Steelers in my survivor contest.
- Father Time was in the starting lineup for the Ravens defense.
- On the shelf. Anointing oil for Joe Flacco.
- Titans coach Mike Munchak treated 4th downs like3rd downs. That’s the way you win ball games.
- Good for the Titans that Kenny Britt is good at fighting through defenders as he is fighting with police officers.
- The Force wasn’t with Luke (McCown) but the Pressure was.
- It may be time for the Blaine Gabbert era to begin.
- Hard to measure where the Jets defense is playing the Jags.
- When Antonio Cromartie can get his hands on the ball, he can make things happen.
- So can Santonio Holmes.
- Maybe not a (Nick) Folk hero yet, but the Jets kicker is the reason they’re 2-0.
- Can we get rid of the throwback uniforms?
- I have the Sunday Ticket if I want to watch the Chargers, Jets.
- Does Mike Martz hate the running game?
- He’s gonna get Jay Cutler killed.
- Cutler needs protection like Antonio Cromartie needs condoms.
- The Bears offensive line: The Swiss cheese unit.
- Methinks Cutler has heard enough of “Oh, when the Saints come marching in.”
- The NFL Rookie of the Year Award is Cam Newton’s to lose.
- Newton will break Peyton Manning’s rookie passing record.
- Carolina’s not getting its money’s worth from DeAngelo Williams.
- Killing my fantasy team.
- Jonathan Stewart must have a cast-iron butt cheek bone, the cause of Nick Collis’ neck injury.
- Ben Tate has made Steve Slaton a forgotten man.
- Adrian Foster better get healthy fast.
- The Dolphins are solid but unspectacular.
- Miami needs more playmakers.
- Where has your playmaking ability gone, Reggie Bush?
- Or maybe Wade Phillips is working his defensive magic with the Texans?
- Peyton Hillis is all Cleveland needed to beat the Colts.
- Colt is the Real McCoy, at least against the Colts defenders.
- Peyton Manning made Jim Caldwell look like an above-average coach like Andy Reid. But it appears he’s a Wade Phillips who may have lost his team.
- The Cardinals (0-8 vs. Washington) just can’t beat the Commanders.
- Gano takes Skins to 2 and 0.
- Chansi Stuckey, you sucky.
- Tim Hightower runs like a man possessed.
- Larry Fitzgerald has found himself a quarterback.
- But Kolb can’t be throwing into triple coverage, I don’t care if Fitzgerald is the receiver.
- The Commanders may have found themselves a quarterback too.
- Maybe Rex “We will win the division” Grossman may be on to something.
- Patrick Peterson is great on special teams.
- Skins Josh Wilson needs better fundamentals on how to tackle.
- Even a 10 point lead isn’t safe from Aaron Rodgers.
- Packers know goal-line defense.
- The only hole in Cam’s game is red zone offense.
- Charles Woodson is a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
- Exactly why did the Raiders let him go?
- I like Tebow, but even I’m put out with the way fans are treating Kyle Orton.
- I understand the Broncos aren’t starting Tebow because he’s not better than Orton at this time. But don’t make him a sideshow circus.
- Willis McGahee is a better back than Knoshown Mareno.
- A.J. Green has some sticky fingers.
- Denver WR Eric Decker proves to be a Bengals wrecker, minus that fumble, of course.
- The Bengals have their quarterback of the future.
- Cincinnati may be better off without Chad, T.O. and Carson.
- Jerome Simpson, another receiver with a great game but a costly drop near the end.
- Ryan Fitzpatrick has to be the smartest quarterback this side of Tom Brady.
- Forty passes and no sacks. That’s not just your offensive line. That’s a quarterback who knows when and how to get rid of the ball.
- The Raiders, no longer a laughingstock, letting the Bills back in the game notwithstanding.
- Denarius Moore may have himself a future as a Raiders deep threat. One among many amazing catches on the day.
- Still don’t see how you squander a big lead.
- Darren McFadden is proving to be a workhorse in the running and passing game.
- If the NFL played just two quarters, the Vikings would be 2-0.
- Vikings defense was bashed with a Blount object.
- High hurdlers in his future?
- Tampa’s No. 5 does what Minnesota’s No. 5 can’t.
- Still not time to Ponder, except to find out why Vikings can’t hold on to a leads.
- Tony Uh oh! Last week. Tony You Go (bouy) this week.
- Can we quit the Tony’s a choker now?
- The Cowboys don’t win if Romo, fractured ribs and all, doesn't reenter the game.
- Questioning Romo’s leadership ability? Shaddup.
- The first half, I thought Joe Montana snuck into Alex Smith’s uniform.
- Jim Harbaugh made the right call not taking the three off the board.
- Jason Garrett’s play calling worries me sometimes.
- Good Golly, Jesse Holley!
- The Reality TV start has his moment in the sun.
- The remake of M.A.S.H. starring the Dallas Cowboys’ Felix, Witten, Austin and Romo.
- With all due respect to Dez Bryant, Miles Austin is still the No. 1 receiver on the Cowboys roster.
- Niners punter Andy Lee has a cannon for a leg.
- No one was taking Vince Wilfork’s first pick from him.
- Ben “but don’t break” Roethlisberger.
- Mike Wallace, the Steelers 60 minute receiver.
- The Seahawks are no better than a college team right now.
- Exactly what was Pete Carroll thinking when he signed Tavaris Jackson?
- Fear not, Seattle fans. Your luck will change.
- Fred(die) Jackson as smooth as the rhythm and blues singer that shares his name.
- That LeSean McCoy is a shifty runner.
- What the Falcons ends couldn’t do, the Eagles did in taking Michael Vick out of the game.
- He’s in, Eagles win.
- Check Falcons OT Sam Baker’s birth certificate because he simply belonged to the Eagle’s Trent Cole.
- All Michael Turner needs is some headlines and a Choo-choo whistle.
- Jerry Maclin had a career night 13, 171 yards, 2 TDs, but discovers you’re only as good as your last catch, drop.
- Kafka stepped up admirably for an injured Vick.
- Dunta Robinson, get ready to cough up some cash.
- You won’t find a better touchdown catch by a tight end like the one Tony Gonzalez made. Come Hall of Fame time, that catch goes on his highlight video.
- That was such a ticky, tack roughing call on John Abraham.
- Pat Robertson has the 700 Club. Tom Brady and Cam Newton have the 400 Club.
- Ochocinco is improving, doubled his catches from a week ago.
- San Diego just can’t get over the hill in New England.
- Brady is in 2007 form.
- He loves his tight ends.
- Brady with a ball in his hands is like Rembrandt with a paint brush. Aaron Rodgers is Picasso.
- Still, I’d give Player of the Week award to Romo.
- We’re witnessing some great catches from tight ends and receivers throughout the league. Just a few: Vincent Jackson, Tony Gonzalez, Santonio Holmes, Brian Hartline and Jared Cook.
- Offenses are ahead of defenses at this point in the season.
- Cam and Dalton are going to make it more difficult to sit rookie quaterbacks their first season.


Top 5 Teams
1. Green Bay Packers – The defending Super Bowl champions. They’ll stay here until someone dethrones them.
2. New England Patriots – Brady’s already received several offers from top medical schools across the country.
3. New York Jets – Undefeated and probably the only AFC team that can take down the Patriots.
4. Detroit Lions – Might be too young to take the Packers, but they look dangerous.
5. Buffalo Bills – Might not stay here, but who expected them to be 2-0 at this point in the season?


Bottom 5 Teams

28. Miami Dolphins – They’re going nowhere with Chad Henne.
29. Minnesota Vikings – No staying power after the first half.
30. Indianapolis Colts – Caldwell ought to be ashamed of not preparing this team to face life without Peyton Manning.
31. Seattle Seahawks – At least they scored 19, last week.
32. Kansas City Chiefs – 10 points scored, 89 given up? Yeah, they’re bad. Really bad.
