NFL Week 2 Review

Well, it is the middle of the week, and now is the time that I start thinking about the NFL. Two weeks down in the NFL season, and this season is really surprising. Who would have thought that the Minnesota Vikings would be 0-2 or the NFC West favorite 49ers? Many people had BIG games this week, that surprised many people. Jason Snelling, and Jahvid Best. Alright lets start with the review.

Falcons(1-1) 47/ Cardinals(1-1) 7: The Falcons dominated the Cardinals from the start leading 24-7 at the half. Many people were praising Jason Snelling after the game, but the game was already over folks. His performance wasn't THAT great. Matt Ryan bounced back after a tough Week 1 performance against the Steelers. On the other hand the Cardinals actually played some competition this year and got destroyed.

Bengals(1-1) 15/ Ravens(1-1) 10: After dominating the Jets in Week 1, the Ravens let off a little bit and the Bengals took advantage of it. No one had a big game for either offense, but the Bengals defense had the best game. They forced 4 turnovers against the Ravens, and didn't allow them to have the ball for that long as the Bengals won the TOP also. The Bengals stated their case for the AFC North crown, but if Baltimore would have not commited silly turnovers, this one would be in Baltimore's favor.

Chiefs(2-0) 16/ Browns(0-2) 14: I did not watch any of this game, but was really interested while following it on gametacker on ESPN. The Browns are not a good team at all, and hung with the Chiefs the whole game. Seneca Wallace played really well as he filled in the whole at starting QB, and Thomas Jones for the Chiefs proved that he should be splitting carries with Jamaal Charles even more. The Chiefs need to play a lot better than what they did Sunday if they want to win the AFC West.

Bears(2-0) 27/ Cowboys(0-2) 20: "America's favorite" team is 0-2. How disappointing...Anyways. Jay Cutler looks really impressive this year as he has led the Chicago Bears to a 2-0 start. The Bears didn't run the ball that much against the Cowboys. The best play in the game was when Marion Barber TRIED to block Julius Peppers, but that didn't turn out too well as Peppers bulldozed over him. The Cowboys have what it needs to win, but they don't come out with the W. We'll see in Week 3.

Eagles(1-1) 35/ Lions(0-2) 32: Another week for two things to happen. 1. Michael Vick proves he is a better QB than he has ever been and 2. Lions prove they have a decent team this year and can compete with a lot of teams. Michael Vick passed the ball better than he ever had and LeSean McCoy BLEW it up with a 3 TD performance. Best also did exceptionally well as he kept the Lions in it the whole game. Don't count out the Lions this year.

Packers(2-0) 34/ Bills(0-2) 7: Again CJ Spiller got dominated and even though the Bills were down that whole game, they still failed to pass it to their best WR. Many problems for the Bills this year, and it doesn't help that they play in one of the best divisions in football. Aaron Rodgers played decent, but still not to the ability I thought he was going too this season. Best thing for the Packers right now is the Vikings are 0-2.

Steelers(2-0) 19/ Titans(1-1) 11: Defense, Defense, Defense. The Steelers forced 7 turnovers against Chris Johnson and the Titans. 7. The Steelers didn't have much offense as Dennis Dixon went down early, and they couldn't establish a good running game against the Titans. Pittsburgh had NOTHING to worry about though as the defense was stopping EVERYTHING.

Dolphins(2-0) 14/ Vikings(0-2) 10: There isn't many positives I can talk about right now about the Vikings except their defense is still playing up to a good level. Brett Favre is DONE. The Vikings offense is one-dimensional. AND they are not going to win the NFC North this year. The Dolphins start out the season with a 2-0 record, and are currently in the lead in the AFC East. The running attack for the Dolphins hasn't hit it's peak this year so i'm not sure how long that lead is staying.

Buccaneers(2-0) 20/ Panthers(0-2) 7: The haven't played that stiff of competition so far this year. Week 1 they played the 0-2 Browns, and last week they finished things off against the 0-2 Panthers. It looks like their passing game has starting to take its leaps, but it looks like the running game is not up to the level it has been in previous years. The Panthers need to get on track. The running game is not holding up to the lack of passing attack the Panthers have with Moore (Now Clausen).

Broncos(1-1) 31/ Seahawks(1-1) 14: The Broncos's bounced back after a loss against the Jaguars with a win over the Seahawks. Kyle Orton had a really impressive day against the Seahawks defense. The most impressive thing about the game Sunday was the Broncos defense that forced 4 turnovers against Seattle and turned the whole game around. The true Seahawks was on display against the Broncos.

Raiders(1-1) 16/ Rams(0-2) 14: Well the answer to the Raiders QB struggles is not Jason Campbell. Gradkowski had a better game than the former Redskins starter, and the offense seemed to take a turnaround. McFadden continues to shine this year in the Raiders offensive scheme. Bradford a successful start for the Rams, but that still wasn't enough for St. Louis. To sum it up, neither team is in contention for anything except the Rams. First Overall Pick.

Jets(1-1) 28/ Patriots(1-1) 14: If you would have told me that Sanchez would throw 3 touchdown passes? I would have probably said something smart like the Patriots were going to rush for 200 yards. The Jets defense was good against a very good offense. The key to the game was the Jets offense. Could they score on the Patiots? An they did so. They looked good running and passing the ball against New England and still look to be in control of the AFC East.

Chargers(1-1) 38/ Jaguars(1-1) 13: Phillip Rivers looked really good passing the ball over Jacksonville and the running attack didn't miss a step after Ryan Matthews went down. The most disappointing thing about the game was the Jaguars defense. After shutting the Broncos down in Week 1 they couldn't stop the Chargers attack. Another thing they couldn't stop was turning over the ball. Six turnovers for Jacksonville was pathetic and gave away the game.

Texans(2-0) 30/ Redskins(1-1) 27: Another impressive performance for the Washington Redskins. Even though nobody has predicted them to win the NFC East they look like they could surprise A LOT of people. The key play in the game besides Neil Rackers FG in overtime was the TD pass to Andre Johnson. That guy is a FREAK. Best WR in the NFL. The Texans are making very strong cases to make the playoffs this year.

Colts(1-1) 38/ Giants(1-1) 14: The Texans surprised the Colts in Week 1 with the running attack and the Colts used that against the Giants in Week 2. The Colts controlled the running game and the passing game. Addai and Brown both had good game, and Peyton Manning still proved that he is the NFL's best QB (Sorry Brees). The Colts are still my favorite for the AFC South.

Saints(2-0) 25/ 49ers(0-2) 22: The 49ers showed that they are a really talented team Monday night against the defending champs. The Saints still looked really good and in the hunt for another NFL Title. I was impressed that San Francisco got back on track with the talent they have on their team. The 49ers will win the NFC West.
