NFL Week 2

Just more of me being a closet sports writer....

Falcons 28, Panthers 20:
No real surprises here. Tony Gonzalez is definitely going to be an asset for the Falcons. Panthers looking like they've taken a step back from a year ago, which most people predicted would happen.

Vikings 27, Lions 13:
Favre looked really good, but consider the competition. Vikings are 2-0 but they haven't beaten anybody worth noticing.

Bengals 31, Packers 24:
Bad loss for the Packers. A team with playoff aspirations like Green Bay can't lose home games to the dysfunctional Bengals.

Texans 34, Titans 31:
Somewhat unexpected shootout. Have to start wondering if the Titans defense can play up to the level they were last year.

Raiders 13, Chiefs 10:
The numbers would have you wonder how the Raiders won this game, but they got it done. They kind of look like a team that's going to play 60 minutes and not give up anything easy.

Jets 16, Patriots 9:
Ok, so Mark Sanchez is better than I thought. Tom Brady hasn't really been himself yet. New England may have some cause for concern.

Saints 48, Eagles 22:
So the Saints seem to be getting all of the hype right now. Drew Brees does look like an MVP candidate right now, but let's not forget that they haven't made the playoffs the last two years.

Redskins 9, Rams 7:
Do we really have to acknowledge that this game happened. I guess, good for the Redskins for not taking a bad loss at home.

Cardinals 31, Jaguars 17:
Cardinals bounce back nicely after a disappointing opener. The NFC West looks more competitive this year so they'll need to be more consistent than they were last year.

Bills 33, Bucs 20:
Right now, I think the Bucs are one of the worst teams in the league. Their defense can't seem to do anything and Byron Leftwich is their quarterback. Long season for Tampa Bay.

49ers 23, Seahaws 10:
Surprise, Matt Hasselbeck gets hurt. 49ers are looking strong to start the season though.

Bears 17, Steelers 14:
Good win for the Bears. Jay Cutler bounced back nicely and got the job done. Kind of wondering about the Steelers after they barely get by a Titans team that lost at home to Houston this week. Not looking like a super bowl team at the moment.

Ravens 31, Chargers 26:
Chargers had a chance to win at the end, but the Ravens defense made plays when they needed to. Joe Flacco is looking very solid for them. They could be the best team in the AFC right now.

Broncos 27, Browns 6:
So the Broncos are now 2-0, against the Bengals and Browns. So far Cleveland looks like one of the worst teams in the league after not being very competitive at all in their first two games.

Giants 33, Cowboys 31:
This loss goes on Tony Romo. His 3 interceptions turned into points for the Giants. Watching this game, it looked like the Cowboys offense is most effective when they commit to the run. Romo isn't consistent enough yet to be the focal point of the offense.

Colts 27, Dolphins 23:
Dolphins lack of a vertical passing game cost them in this one as they couldn't move the ball down the field fast enough with the game on the line. I believe it also cost them the ability to get the ball into the end zone as they were forced to settle for field goals most of the night (4 made, 1 missed).
