Week One Round Up

Pack Attack

The Pack is looking pretty darn good and everyone is healthy (for now). I would be excited but I’d prefer to jump into shark invested waters and take my chances. Rodgers is good, I have to give it to the kid, but I can’t watch Green Bay win another Super Bowl. The good news is that my beloved Bears and the oh-so-confident Detroit Lions are keeping pace with Green Bay. It’s going to be a tough division, black and blue to the core—may the best time win.

Good Rex/ Bad Rex Ryan Twins (Before and After Wheel A Fortune Style)

Paging Sexy Rexy…Could this be true? Is Rex Grossman trying to make a comeback? Plenty of people have given Rex a lot of flak over the years but it looks like he’s finally pulling things together. Can the gun slinger pull it off this time? I really hope so, because everyone deserves a second chance at Glory.

Speaking of Rex, the Jets’ head coach Rex Ryan battled his twin Rob Ryan and the Cowboys in a good ol’ fashioned Sunday Night Showdown. The game lived up to its potential and in the end the Mean Green willed their way to victory. J-E-T-S  Jets, Jets, Jets!!!

Eagles Roll

Believe the hype because Michael Vick and the Eagles are still going strong. To be fair, Philly did play the Rams in week one, which isn’t saying much. I do believe however that the Eagles can make a legit playoff run if Vick, McCoy, and Jackson stay healthy. Will Philly make it over the hump and win it all this year? Only time will tell.

In the Pitts

Things got pretty ugly for Pittsburg on Sunday--seven turnovers and one giant fight. The Ravens-Steelers rivalry is alive and well. I just hope the Steelers can regroup before they play the Ravens for a second time at Heinz field in November. The bad loss to the Ravens is very uncharacteristic of the Steelers but with 15 games left there is no need to press the red panic button.

Crashing in Indy

Speaking of red buttons, I pressed the panic button in Indy about 2 days ago.  The Colts looked helpless without Peyton Manning in their 2011 debut.  I think the Colts need to call Carson Palmer or God forbid Brett Favre. Kerry Collins looked horrible and may even have more gray hair than Brett Favre.  Overall, Indy’s in a bad shape and the Colts need to do something fast.  How will the Colts survive without Mr. Manning, a.k.a. the All Mighty Savior?
