Signal Finder: PHI @ DET, PIT @ TEN, NE @ NYJ
And now it's two straight weeks of teams Eagles fans never see. Let's see how this goes. Pass protection's going to be an issue this season, I can see it now. That was pretty good. CONTINUING TREND: The Eagles can't cover tight ends. This Jahvid Best has some moves. Screen pass is right out of the Eagles' playbook. Yeah, he's gone. I knew he was good; I didn't realize he was that good. Vick's been running for his life back there so far - good thing he's good at it. And Vick gets away AGAIN. Touchdown! Still with the penalties? Disappointing. You know whose name I've barely heard today is Calvin Johnson, and that's part of why the Lions have given up 28 straight points. Still, there's finally talent on that side, though I'm not sold on the coaching quite yet. Yeah, I spoke too soon about CJ. Your hands got you onto this team, Riley Cooper! Don't let us down now! wipes brow Good thing this was Week 2 and not Week 12. ERNIE SIMS WINS. (Eagles 35, Lions 32)
CHICANERY RULES! Vince Young taking that double Rock Bottom was pretty wild. This is some ugly football. Ah jeez, now Dixon's hurt? Mark Malone's two phone calls away. PROTECT THE FOOTBALL. Where's Young? Benched? Kerry Collins? Oh, that went well. Someone tell him his career's over. That's your last play? Really? (Steelers 19, Titans 11)
The Bears are answering back well after the Cowboys go ahead. Didn't the Cowboys' defense have a three- or four-game stretch last season where they didn't force a single turnover? Jay: "Down by three, ball at the opponents' 38, and you're PUNTING?" Well, their kicker's not very good. You know who's been good today is Jay Cutler. How do the Cowboys have probably the three best running backs in their division and yet run the ball so poorly? I mean, Romo threw 51 passes. That's a recipe for disaster for anybody. Not that I'm not enjoying the Cowboys crumble under the weight of their own unrealistic expectations. (Bears 27, Cowboys 20)
This rivalry now is better than it was in the early 2000's because the Jets are actually capable of winning the game on the field now. You know who's still good is LaDanian Tomlinson. Better catch: Moss or Hester? I vote Moss's because he made it look so effortless. I guess the solution for Mark Sanchez is to just toss them up there like it's a volleyball. He was throwing some serious floaters and they were getting caught. This may not have happened if the Pats had kept Richard Seymour. (Jets 28, Patriots 14)
This is what I imagine Shanahan said to Kubiak at midfield afterwards: "Nice win. Don't ever steal my move again." (Texans 30, Redskins 27, OT)
I see this ending the same way the first one did. The Giants are sputtering. The Colts... aren't. The Giants' tackles are getting used and abused and Eli's paying the price. Oh, this is getting out of hand. What the... WHY IS THERE A HELMET IN THE CROWD?! I feel like they've gotta get it back. Hey, there's something. Now the Giants need a stop... and they get it. Let's see what happens now. Oh. Never mind then. Has anyone seen Brandon Jacobs since the helmet incident? OK, I was wrong. It didn't end the same way the first one did. This one was much, much worse. (Colts 38, Giants 14)
Safety! Um, isn't that why you pay Frank Gore? Oh man. Is anyone having a worse month than Reggie Bush? The 49ers are throwing away chances like the Vikings did in last year's NFC title game. And you see that? Three possessions later it's an eight-point game. Wait, they've got a shot at this, and they got down the field in no time, too. TOUCHDOWN. They'll go for two now, obviously. I don't think the ball's across the plane. Well, wait a minute... this latest shot shows that it probably is across, but I can't tell. WOW. As I've said before, that's why I don't have that job - I couldn't have overturned it. The downside is, they've left the Saints with entirely too much time. Way to get your head in the game, Shockey. It's GOOD! Did somebody get a piece of that? (Yes.) The best teams figure out ways to survive games like this. (Saints 25, 49ers 22)
