Thoughts from Week 2:
1. Colts. Really? I know you started out 0-2 last year and made the playoffs, but...really? You look absolutely horrible.
2. Seahawks, you guys are not the same without Kam Chancellor. Looks like this game of chicken needs to end.
3. Saints. When you traded Jimmy Graham, did you forget how to play football?
4. Rams, you're dead to me. How dare you lose a game you should have easily won. Maybe you were on high because you beat the defending NFC champs. Either way, you should've built on that momentum.
5. DeMarco Murray.
I feel by adding the "grass isn't always greener on the other side," might be too harsh. (It's funny because he went to a team with green uniforms).
6. Please don't crown Johnny Manziel just yet. One week doth not maketh an NFL QB.7. Poor Dallas. No star receiver. Fine. They can get by without him. No QB, but a journeyman backup 62 year old Brandon Weeden? Hopefully you guys can go at least 2-4 while Romo is out.
8. Is it just me or are there a lot of QB's potentially missing time? Romo, Brees, Cutler.
9. Jets. You guys look pretty damn good.
10. Less talking, more football playing, Bills.
11. Cardinals and Carson Palmer look good.
12. Bears, by all accounts, should fall to 0-3 on Sunday when they play the Seahawks. The Eagles could very well be in that group too. They play the Jets on Sunday. Ravens, too. Lions as well. Lot of teams with big aspirations could be 0-3.
13. Stop. Taunting. Tom. Brady. He makes you pay errrrytime.
Top 5: The Lombardi Division
1. Patriots - Here until they lose. Almost was Sunday. That defense needs to tighten up.
2. Packers - They look Super. Still my pick to win it all.
3. Cardinals - Carson Palmer has them on top of the division and they could be there a while, at least until they play Seattle.
4. Bengals - They look good. Through two games. No Sacks. No Turnovers for ol A. Dalton.
5. Falcons - Somehow grinding out wins. Julio Jones is on another level right now.
Bottom 5: The Participation Ribbon Division
32. Saints - More like the 'Aints am I right. They look bad. Like, top 10 pick bad.
31. Bears - Might want to consider drafting a QB.
30. Eagles - All that money for Murray and a trade for Bradford, and it's not working out the way they hoped. Bradford looks scared. That offensive line sucks.
29. Lions - Just need a Tigers team here to complete the trifecta.
28. Texans - They have so many questions with far less answers.
The Ingersoll Pick of the Week
Well last weeks pick didn't work out too well. Hopefully this one does.
Seattle Seahawks - At home, against a Cutlerless Bears team. They will get a W this week.
Thursday September 24th
8:25PM EST
(CBS) Redskins (1-1) at Giants (0-2) - This is a make or break game for the Giants. They have lost two close games and are 5 points away from being in an entirely different conversation, 2-0. Be that as it may, they have a Washington team coming in that can run the ball well, but not pass. Giants need to stop the run, so they can jailbreak into the win column. Giants 21, Redskins 17
Sunday September 27th
1PM EST
(FOX) Falcons (2-0) at Cowboys (2-0) - Falcons have looked really good under their new coach. They have an offense that is good and a defense that does just enough to stop teams. Dallas on the other hand. Had a good offense and now with Bryant and Romo out, they are just a ragtag bunch. These are the games they have to win in order to stay afloat while Romo is out. Can they? Time will tell. It's a squeaker. Falcons 24, Cowboys 21
(CBS) Colts (0-2) at Titans (1-1) - Remember the Titans from week 1? How they destroyed the Buccaneers. Remember the Colts and how bad they looked in Week 1 and 2? The Colts just can't stop turning the ball over. They look as bad as their record indicates. Mariotta, still no turnovers. A loss, but no turnovers. I think they can steal one from a hungry Colts team, but Andrew Luck's neckbeard will steer them toward a win. Colts 28, Titans 17
(CBS) Raiders (1-1) at Browns (1-1) - Look, Manziel played decent last week. But that's one week. Consistency is the word I'm sure they throw around a lot in Cleveland. Build on it. Attack a Raiders team that is always up and down. Can the Browns win two in a row? Who knows. Not even sure who is playing QB this week. Also kudos to the Raiders for beating a tough Ravens team. I think the Browns win a close one. Browns 17, Raiders 14
(CBS) Bengals (2-0) at Ravens (0-2) - Look, the Ravens is another team that could be 2-0. But their defense without Suggs is not the same. Their offense doesn't look in sync either. They are getting a Bengals team that has played rather well. If the Ravens get behind, they won't win. The Bengals are playing really well. Bengals 20, Ravens 10
(CBS) Jaguars (1-1) at Patriots (2-0) - Gonna make this short. Patriots 27, Jaguars 10
(FOX) Saints (0-2) at Panthers (2-0) - Oh when the Saints, go marching in, oh when the Saints go Marching in. They lose. They look like a team that hasn't figured it out. Offensive line is terrible. Defense too. They get the Panthers and they are going to try and get a foot up in the division and keep pace with the Dirty Birds. Panthers 31, Saints 17
(FOX) Eagles (0-2) at Jets (2-0) - I almost feel bad for the Eagles. hahaha, loljk. I don't. Still. They traded some key assets, let some guys walk, and they aren't good. They look bad. Bradford looks like he is a deer in the headlights. Murray can't get out of the backfield. Jets are going to throw the house at them this week. Their defense has 10 takeaways and Revis looks like the Defensive Player of the year, right now. They can smother the Eagles, but Fitzpatrick needs to keep his turnovers low. Jets 17, Eagles 7
(FOX) Buccaneers (1-1) at Texans (0-2) - Winston, meet Watts. I say this because I don't think the Texans are going to go down without Watts losing his mind. He is going to be all over the field. The Buccaneers beat a Saints team that is just bad. The Texans have no identity on offense. Texans win a close one. Texans 13, Buccaneers 10
(CBS) Chargers (1-1) at Vikings (1-1) - Peterson was back to his dominant self, but still had a couple of fumbles. The Chargers need to stop having turnovers, but to be fair, they lost to a Bengals team that is quietly good. If they let Peterson get going, they are going to have a tough time. Minnesota's defense is not that bad. Chargers 23, Vikings 17
(CBS) Steelers (1-1) at Rams (1-1) - I don't get how the Rams look fantastic one week, and play like dogshit the next. I mean, the way they played the Seahawks and won versus how they played the Redskins and lost. The big problem in sports is this: Teams play up or down to their competition. Granted the Rams might not be good, but for one week, they looked great and then played an inferior opponent and lost. The Steelers, well they lost to the Patriots in Week 1, and air raided the 49ers the next. That team can score, I would be worried if I were the Rams. Steelers 38, Rams 21
4:05PM EST
(FOX) 49ers (1-1) at Cardinals (2-0) - Any one else think Carson Palmer is out to prove something? I mean, look at his two games. He is dominating defenses. Now he gets a 49ers team that got burned up by the Steelers. Sure, they are going to try and prove that last week was a fluke, but the Cardinals beat up the Bears by nearly the same margin. 49ers seem like a team that will be 7-9 or 8-8. For now, they need to figure out their defense, or they are going to have a long season. NFC West games for the last few years, are tough. This one will be close. Cardinals 17, 49ers 13
(CBS) Bills (1-1) at Dolphins (1-1) - Here's the deal about the Bills. If they are the second half team they were last week against the Patriots, they can win 10 games. If they are the first half team they were last week against the Patriots, they will win 6. They need to score early and let their defense win games. The Dolphins, same thing. They have the capability to score points, but they play down to their competition and turnovers will kill them every time. Neither team have the type of QB who can put a team on their shoulders and will them to a win. So they need to play smart. Turnovers cost both teams last week. Bills 27, Dolphins 17
Return of the Kam....
(CBS) Bears (0-2) at Seahawks (0-2) - Look, the Seahawks are way better than their record. The Bears are right where they should be. Their defense is weak. Their offense is weaker without Jay Cutler. Look for the Seahawks to blitz the hell out of Clausen and cause at least 3 turnovers. If you have the Seahawks defense in fantasy football, great because they will score a defense/special teams TD. Oh and as of 9:58a.m. EST, Kam Chancellor is coming back. Seahawks 41, Bears 13
8:30PM EST
(NBC) Broncos (2-0) at Lions (0-2) - The Broncos have flirted with disaster all season. It's their defense, surprisingly, that is keeping them in games. I love Peyton, but he's not the dominant Peyton we are used to seeing. Stafford hasn't had a great season so far. Can they turn it around? Sure. But they have to get in the Win column and it's going to be tough against the Broncos, especially the way their defense is playing. If Stafford can get them on the board and into a shootout, they might have a chance. I don't see it happening with the way the Broncos defense is playing. Broncos 27, Lions 20
Monday September 28
8:30PM EST
(ESPN) Chiefs (1-1) at Packers (2-0) - Packers are still the team to beat right now. Defense is playing good. Offense is playing next man up style. Player goes down, next man comes in and does a pretty good job. Oh that Rodgers guy, he has like 580 attempts at home without a turnover. 13 incompletions so far this season. That's like a quarter for some teams. The Chiefs need to stop them on third down. Once Rodgers gets going, he's hard to stop. He just wills the Packers to be better. Packers are golden at home. Packers 31, Chiefs 20.
