NFL Week 2 Recap
What a wild week in week 2 of the NFL Season. There were a lot of close game this week and by that I mean there were nine games decided by seven points or less. Some upsets that happen were Cincinnati over Green Bay, Houston over Tennessee and Chicago over Pittsburgh. I don’t consider New York over New England an upset because New England is not the team they once were. They lost 50 years experience on defense and the offensive line does not look good at all. Jake Delhomme played a little bit better but he threw an interception when it counted the most. In my opinion Jake Delhomme, John Fox and GM Matt Hurley are all on the hot seat right now. If they don’t get it together then they will all be gone at the end of the season.
The Lions played great in the first half against Minnesota but then fell apart the second half of the game. That is the typical Lions team. They don’t know how to finish and therefore they continue to lose. How about them Cowboys losing to New York at the home opener of their new stadium. Jerry Jones must be thrilled with team he has out their this year. The new Cowboy Stadium is awesome though and they did set an attendance record for the highest attended NFL game in history. The Monday Night game last night was a thriller and even though Miami has started out 0-2 I still think they have a chance to be a good team this year and make the playoffs.
In fantasy football this I did not do so well. In my Yahoo league it looks like this
Hollywood’s Rejects 196.96
To Spite Kevin… 2 245.15
My highest point earner was Drew Brees for the second week in a row. Keep it going Drew, you make me proud. I do have to add that New Orleans pretty much killed Philly this week. Not to make excuses but they didn’t have McNabb or Vick. They did however have Jeff Garcia who got no playing time at all this week. It should be interesting to see what happens this week with Garcia there and Vick eligible to play. A lot of questions surrounding Philly for this coming weekend.
In my ESPN Fantasy League here is how it went down
Hollywoods World of Sports (HWOO)(0-2) 75
Louisville Chargers (TREG) (1-1) 85
Not a very good start for me this season but on a good note Willis McGahee was my highest point earner again for the second week as well. I am still trying to make so moves to make my team a little bit better so time will only tell if these moves pull off. I also went 8 for 16 in my predictions this week which I am not proud of but there were a lot of close games so I am not upset over it.
In off field new Plaxico Burress was sentenced to two years in prison and will start serving his sentence immediately. One has to wonder if he’ll ever play again. I am also wondering if Marvin Harrison will ever play again as well. Unfortunately for those two life goes on and their former teams are moving on without them.
I’ll be back with my predictions tomorrow for week 3. Another week of tough match ups and at this point you never know who is going to show up on any given week. Check back tomorrow for more.
