Go Ahead And Let Me Have It

So this past weekend I may have spoken one day too soon. As many of you might have read, on Saturday night I decided to post about one of my favorite players, Brady Quinn. If you paid attention at least one micro-second to football on Sunday and any sports show following you will have seen the offensive explosion that was the Browns versus the Bengals.

Is it just my luck that the day following my post that one of the "jokers" that I called out proved to be everything but that. Derek Anderson decided to do everything that he hasn't done before completing 20 of 33 passes for 328 yards on a day where he threw for five touchdowns to only one interception. On top of that he led a Browns attack that beat a what was supposed to be good Bengal team. They scored 51 points and six touchdowns on a day of historic events.

So let me have it, prove to everyone that you can second guess somebody after a foregone conclusion. I applaud you, you can read stats and read words that show that I was wrong after making some what of a bold prediction. I am very vulnerable right now, adding from Notre Dame having a terrible season, so hurry up and stick it to me.

Now that I have cleared myself up, and am a little less depressed about my luck thus far this year, I can go on about other topics. There was more then this one game. The Patriots and Chargers also dominated sports shows with the pounding that the Pats gave San Diego. Only days removed from what is referred to as Spygate, the Pats were supposed to lose from all the distractions they were supposed to have had all week. I think not. The opposite happened, the Pats were as focused as ever and held LT down, who hasn't done much thus far in the young season.

The final headliner of a busy Sunday, to which I will touch on, is the 2-0 surprisers. So wouldn't everybody like to see the lowly Lions, the 49er's, and the Texans do well for the first time in a good while.

The Texans look to be the real deal this year, although you all know I have been wrong before, as illustrated above. But with Matt Schaub playing as solid as ever, and Andre Johnson playing like the Pro-Bowl player that everybody knew he could be coming out of Miami, the Texans could give SB08 a good run.

The 49er's seem to have something good going with Frank Gore, also from "The U," making spectacular plays, along with fellow offensive talents QB Alex Smith and Vernon Davis. Let's not forget a revamped defense with pro-bowler Nate Clements and the ever present Bryant Young.

Lastly, the Lions, I don't think anybody knows what to think about them. This past week's win was as ugly as any, with a combined amount of turnovers between them and the Vikings at ten, but as they say a win is a win. The offense is for real, lets not forget who roams the D-line for the Vikings, and to put up 20 points with your starting QB sidelined for half the game is slightly impressive. But, what I believe they have over any of the other 2-0 surprises is camaraderie, and that's what wins Championships, see Patriots. However, I am definitely not saying the Lions are going to win any sort of championship this year, but they are definitely putting some pieces together in a puzzle to a championship.
