Week two observations and thoughts.

There were a few surprises , and several close games, as well as alot of big injuries. Here are some of my thoughts this week. Enjoy!

·         If you want to sack Romo then just do a delayed blitz. It worked every time for the Chiefs. This offensive line had better catch up quick because that is going to show up on the game film this week!

·         Dez Bryant is one of the best receivers in the league right now, but it's only a matter of time before he is going to get hurt again. Fighting to not go down on every play is how you got hurt last time. Just take your yards, and go down already.

·         LaShawn McCoy will be in the MVP running if he stays healthy.

·         The San Diego running game has never recovered from LaDainian Tomlinson leaving. They beat the Eagles this week, but Philip Rivers will not carry you to the Superbowl.

·         Aaron Rodgers, and the Packers take more chances on 4th down than any other team. I would too if my QB could tear apart a defense like Rodgers did to the Redskins. That was fun to watch, and my favorite game of the week.

·         Last week I said that Brandon Marshall saved his career by coming to Chicago.  I think he saved Cutler’s career as well.  Cutler was going nowhere quick until he arrived.

·         It was only a matter of time before Brandon Merriweather got a concussion.  After hurting Eddie Lacy by leading with the crown of his head, he goes and does the same thing to Sparks.  Now he is an inch shorter, and out for several weeks.  Idiot.

·         The Vikings to me are the best 0-2 team in the league.  They are very close to pulling it together.

·         Martellus Bennett gets hurt by the camera man!  Why does the camera man have to be so close to the field?  His lens is a foot long, and he could get that picture from the third deck.

·         Jared Allen for the Vikings is ageless.

·         I thought the Giants would do better against the Broncos.  Glad Peyton took care of that for me. 

·         Congrats to Jason Witten for moving into second place all time for TE catches.  Passing Shannon Sharpe is quite an accomplishment.  You have a long way to go to catch Tony Gonzalez. I am glad he is a Cowboy!

·         The Redskins receivers dropped a ton of balls today.  I know the Redskins are struggling on offense, and are not able to use RGIII out of the pistol like they did last year.  That is hurting them, but when you hit your target in the hands, chest, or face you expect them to catch the ball. 

·         Eddie Royal has emerged from his hiatus.  Where did he go after his breakout season in Denver years ago?  Apparently to pass catching school.  He is hot right now.

·         Does Atlanta’s coach Mike Smith wear man liner?  Sure looks like it. 

·         Dustin Colquitt the punter for the Chiefs is unbelievable at getting the ball to stop inside the 5 yard line.  He beat the Cowboys this week.

·         I am very surprised by the Titans defense.  They are solid.

·         The referee for the Giants/ Broncos game has to be related to the referee of the Saints/Bucs game right?  I checked and they are not, but they sure look alike.   

·         Darren McFadden got hurt again for a period of time.  He will be out again soon.  He has not played a full season since coming into the league.

·         Did the Bills know something no one else did in the Draft?  EJ Manuel is doing alright so far.  I, for one am surprised and thought he would flounder. 

·         Tampa Bay keeps killing themselves with penalties.  Surprising, considering their coach seems like a stickler for the little things.

·         Pittsburgh is still bad.  No change there. 

If the Cowboys are going to lose, then it sure makes it better when everyone else in the division loses as well. 

See you next week!
