NFL Week 1 Recap
All I can say is wow to a great week of football. It all started Thursday Night with a classic encounter between Pittsburgh and Tennessee that went into over time. What a great way to start the season. You talk about some crazy things happening. Denver beating Cincinnati the way they did. How about poor performances by Jay Cutler and Jake Delhomme? The only thing Carolina did right is injure Donovan McNabb. I was really impressed with Green Bay’s defense. As long as Capers is running it they are going to be difficult to beat. Their were two Rookie Quarterbacks he made their debut. Mark Sanchez and Matthew Stafford. I was really impressed with Sanchez but Stafford did okay during his debut. It’s really hard to come and lead a team as bad as the Lions. The Oakland Raiders played and Buffalo Bills made Monday Night Football exciting last night. No one gave either team a chance to win but they made it close and exciting.
Now on to Fantasy Football. In my Yahoo league here is what it looks like.
Hollywood’s Rejects 226.30
Team Insano 215.62
Thank you Drew Brees for giving me the most points on my team this week. It was kind of easy considering that you played the Lions. So I am 1-0 on Yahoo. As for as my ESPN team I cannot say the same. I had a lose-lose week at QB. My starter was Jay Cutler and on the bench was Jake Delhomme. Either way I would have gotten killed. Here is what my week look liked for ESPN
Hollywoods World of Sports (0-1) 88
Get Right(1-0) 100
I lost by twelve in the last two nights after being up all day Sunday until the Chicago-Green Bay game. The player who scored the most points for me was Willis McGahee from Baltimore. I got a lot of revamping I have to do to my team this week before Sunday.
In terms of my predictions I went 12 for 16 which I am little bit disappointed in because I don’t like getting more then two wrong in a week.
Off the football field this week the Eagles signed QB Jeff Garcia because of McNabb’s injury. The Panthers signed QB A.J. Feely because Jake Delhomme had another bad game and they really don’t know if he’s capable of being a good Quarterback anymore. Speaking of the Panthers did you hear the stupid comments by Head Coach John Fox. He compared Jake to Tiger Woods and Roger Federer saying everyone has a bad day and you can’t win them all. Okay that may be true but Tiger Woods and Roger Federer dominate their sport. Jake Delhomme anything but dominating. The Bears lost Brian Urlacher for the year which is not good for their defense. And finally, how about Brett Favre? He won is first game as a Viking, because he played smart and fed the ball to Adrian Peterson and didn’t try to be the hero himself. A lot of interesting things happening this past week which makes next weeks predictions really tough.
My week two predictions will be posted tomorrow so check back for more tomorrow.
