Results from week 2 of the NFL season picks



Fitzpatrick has the Bills on a roll



The Bills started week two of the season with a spectacular game that went right down to the end of the wire. Ryan Fitzpatrick had a tremendous game for the second strait week. The bills are a team on the rise, and Fred Jackson has been a add dimension to there running game that has made all the difference. With the new found running game, the passing game has been effective. The Bills pulled out a tough win against a upgraded Oakland Raiders team that could be a contender in the confidence this season.



Cam Newton taking the league by storm

      Aron Rodgers challenged Newton to a shutout and Newton did not disappoint. Newton has another impressing game against the Packers throwing for over 400 yards for the second week in a row, but it still was not enough to pull out the win.

Will Manning ever be the same

     Payton Manning had another neck surgery and no one could say when he would be back. With Kerry Collins at the helm the Colts are just not the same team. They could be looking at a four to five win season. And even if Manning returns this season will he be the same player. The bottom line is if the Colts don't find a way to win without Manning you can kiss this season good bye. Colts lose second strait and are  0-2 for the first time in a decade.

When will the Vikings go to there rookie QB

    Tampa did not surprise many by beating the Vikings. The Vikings quarterback play has been awful, and the defense is ageing fast. Tampa is one of the youngest teams in the NFL and have done a excellent job of winning with great coaching and young talent. Josh Freemon was extremely underrated coming out of Kansas state. Tampa Bay has done a spectacular job of scouting and drafting franchise and key players on both sides of the ball. In this years draft they draft the number one prospect in the country in the second round with the 58th pick. Tampa Bay is a franchise on the rise. Tampa won this contest in the last seconds of the game.

     Detroit is a franchise that has been at the bottom of the NFL for a long time now. With Stafford healthy and (Megatron) Calvin Johnson's tremendous size and speed the offense can put up points. But its the defense that has change the the state of the franchise. The defensive line is the dominant force on this team, and the reason why the Detroit Lions have a chance at the playoffs. The Lions beat the Chiefs this week in prime fashion.




Brees pumps up the who Dat nation

      Brees was reliable as usual as the Saints beat the Bears on Sunday afternoon.Wide receiver Devey Henderson stretched the field all day, and gave the running backs room to run. Darren Sproles has been a excellent change of pace and situational running back. The saints defense picked up the pace in this weeks contest forcing Cutler out of the pocket, and making him throw off his back foot.  Former first round pick New Orleans Saints safety Malcom Jenkins has showed why he was worthy of that high of a pick. The Saints beat the bears in convincing fashion.


  

    The New York Jets beat a tough team in the Jacksonville Jaguars.The Jets impressing defense stop the Jaguars through out the game. Jets win

    The Steelers beat the Seahawks in impressing fashion, and are back on track after losing to the Ravens last week. This is one of the best receiving core big Ben has had sense he was drafted, Wallace, Ward, Sanders and slot man Brown. The defense is always good in Steeler town and this off season invested alot of money in there linebackers
    

Ray Lewis is at the end of a tremendous career

   The Titans surprised everyone but Rickey Suire (http://rickeyswff.blogspot.com) by beating the Ravens this past weekend. Rickey predicted that the Titans would beat the Ravens which may be just luck but I'll give him credit anyway.Good pick Rick

Washington beat the Cards and look like a franchise on the rise.Grossman made a prediction in the preseason saying the Redskins would make the playoffs, and so far it looks to be true but its a long season.

Tony Romo was a American hero this weekend by playing with a cracked rib. The 49ers were on there way to winning there first game of the year when Tony Romo came back into the game after cracking his ribs just a few mins. earlier to win the game for the Cowboys. Romo will be wearing a protective vest this coming weekend to protect his hurt ribs.Cowboys are now 1-1



Tebows career not real bright

Fans are still calling for Tim Tebow but that does not look like that's going to happen any time soon or this season for that matter. Orton did enough to win in this game but doesn't look like a franchise quarterback, not in this offense. The Bengals are 1-1 and who would have thought they would have won any games this season. There rookie QB has been consistent in his fist two games of the season, that's more than you could ask for from any rookie quarterback in the NFL. Top pick Mr. Green caught 10 passes in this one and looks to be coming on strong at the start of the season. Denver pulls this one out there a**.

Houston is starting the season as a Superbowl contender. The offense is on point even with Foster out Tate has picked up his game, and has the ability to catch the ball out the back field. Reggie Bush is not the player I thought he would be in the first two games of the season. Miami gave Bush his chance and has not put up big numbers. Its time to go with the rookie who played  with a nice burst up the middle. The QB position is a work in progress. Houston wins this one

Give it up for big Wilford, the giant defensive tackle for the New England Patriots who had a int. and a tremendous run back for about 30 yards. Rivers got hot late in the game, but came up short. Every year the Chargers start the season out of sink and some how catch on fire at the end of the year. Matthews has not lived up to the hype. Matthews needs to stay healthy and more carries to show  why he was worth such a high pick coming out the draft just two years age. Patriots win





When will Vick return to the field?

It was Vick's first homecoming going back to the dome in Atlanta as a starter. Everyone thought the Eagles would dominant this game, "I did anyway" but it wasn't meant to be. Vick got hurt late in the game after hitting his head on a teammates helmet, and had to leave the game.Vick never returned to the field and the Eagles lost      

Sam Bradford was a couple plays short from winning this game. The Giants defense slowed down the Rams offense by faking an injury. Two players who were walking back to the huddle after the Rams were driving down the field and in the red zone just fell to the ground at the same time with an injury.The Giants had no time outs, and the Rams were in a no huddle offense. The injury's stop the game and gave the Giants defense a chance to rest, and call a play after a long drive down the field by the Rams. The Giants won this one
