NFL Notes- Week 4

Every Tuesday were going to break down a few things that we saw during yesterday’s games. Whether it be a great performance, a humiliating collapse (See Tony Romo….. again.), a questionable call or a game winning kick. There is always something to discuss when talking about the National Football League.

Week 2 NFL Picks

After a week where we saw a couple blowouts, never-before-seen passing yards, and Tony Romo being Tony Romo, Week 2 is finally upon is. There are very few intriguing matchups. Here are this week’s picks.

Buffalo Bills 24 Oakland Raiders 16. Ryan Fitzpatrick and Co. will have Bills fans believing for the first time since starting 5-1 in 2008. One of these two teams will start 2-0 and have everyone on notice. I’ll take the Bills.

New Orleans Saints 31 Chicago Bears 17. The Saints loss to the Packers seems like ages ago. They will rebound nicely against the Bears.

Detroit Lions 35 Kansas City Chiefs 17. The Lions were impressive on opening day. The Stafford to Megatron connection will be something to watch all season.

San Diego Chargers 34 New England Patriots 31. The Chargers have had a lot of success against the Patriots in the past. Phillip Rivers will have a field day against that Pats defense.

Eagles 28 Falcons 17. Michael Vick returns to Atlanta for the first time as a starter. I expect big things out of him this weekend. I Have a feeling it will be an extremely “pro” Vick crowd. Falcons fall to 0-2 and start the season.

Best All Around Game In NFL History?

Was the performance by Michael Vick tonight one of the great performances in the history of the NFL. Michael Vick was 20-28 for 333 yards and 4 touchdowns passing while rushing for 80 yards on 10 carries and 2 touchdowns rushing. An amazing performance for sure. The only other performance that I could think of, was Brett Favre on Monday Night in 2003, the night after his dad died. He threw for 399 yards and 4 touchdowns.

The League Where They Play For Pay: Week 4

After this weekend we will be at the quarter pole for most NFL teams. Most teams have shown what their strengths and weaknesses will be in 2010. Let’s take a look at what we should look at this weekend.

• Can the Steelers start off 4-0 without Big Ben? Of course it is possible, but I have not seen enough to believe the Steelers are for real. They have the Ravens at home this week which should test the Charlie Batch led offense. Expect a low scoring hard-fought game with Ray Lewis complaining about something. The Steelers have not scored a TD in regulation against a real team this season and that could continue against one of the best defenses in the NFL.

The League Where They Play For Pay: Week 3

Two weeks never make a season. Some teams are off to great starts while other teams are still trying to find an identity or continue to build towards 2011. Let us take a look at the story lines and what to look forward to during Week 3.
