What We Learned From NFL Week 1...

The General · 09-14-10, 06:13 AM

eli should look like Montana this week.

Mr KLC · 09-14-10, 06:15 AM

I caught that Jets game late. I never saw a crowd so defused when their team had a shot to win the game on the last drive. The offense must have really been bad.

Cuse0323 · 09-14-10, 06:20 AM

Some exaggerations after just one week, a lot I agree with though. Gotta wait a few weeks to really know, love people that overreact in Fantasy football, get great players on waivers or in trades.

Ace_of_Spades · 09-14-10, 06:24 AM

The Bengals are who we thought they were

Thats kind of wrong, they played the Pats in week 1, thats a tough game for an opener and they did score 24 points, so there are some positives.

ryanjep · 09-14-10, 06:34 AM

way too early to make big statements. it was a fun first week though

romo is over rated

jjgold · 09-14-10, 07:09 AM

No idea about Manning yet but I have learned Mark Sanchez will never be a good qb.

Cassel is horrific in KC

3PtShooter · 09-14-10, 07:14 AM

More bad coaching, and poor QB play than ever in the NFL

midoriwilleatyou · 09-14-10, 07:32 AM

mark sanchez will forever blow

815Sox · 09-14-10, 07:36 AM

The Bears are not mediocre, they are just plain bad. Nobody here in Chicago was happy with the win last Sunday.

True, but he was permitted to lay hands upon Jessica Simpson in a familiar way, yes?

k13 · 09-14-10, 07:45 AM

If that's what you learned then you diden't learn anything at all.

horseexpert · 09-14-10, 07:46 AM

I learned what I already knew. Saints are still the best team.

Ninersnut · 09-14-10, 07:54 AM

Yes sirrrr

Wrecktangle · 09-14-10, 08:02 AM

1 game? You guys will never make it in the statistics world.

JJ, you should know better.

Glitch · 09-14-10, 08:34 AM

if over half the team is new they are not the same team (seattle)

thadchr · 09-14-10, 08:36 AM

Agree that you can't jump to any major conclusions, but that doesn't mean you can't learn anything significant after a week either. My two cents: Seattle will still suck this year... a lot.

SamsNCharge99 · 09-14-10, 08:51 AM

love the Cowboy haters when in reality, he led them to a VICTORY...wait offensive line fukked him and Wade Philips bad coaching call at end of 1st half

grow up

nobodyukno · 09-14-10, 09:21 AM

When the Cowboys are 1-3 heading into week 6, Jerry Jones will cut Wade Phillips.

They made a bunch of mistakes that cost games, but they also had some real bright spots. Urlacher (and Briggs too) were everywhere. If anyone was worried whether Urlacher had anything left, he answered that (assuming he can remain healthy, of course). We knew and know that Peppers is going to be disruptive. And Cutler did throw for what, like 370 yards, with just the 1 INT. On the one hand, they easily could have lost and probably should have on that catch. On the other hand, they killed Det statistically in yardage, time of possession, first downs, you name it. Getting stuffed 5 times from the 1 was bad. 3 fumbles were bad. But those are correctable sort of things. Overall, they actually did show flashes of possibly being a good football team. IMHO

And they probably won't, but it wouldn't completely shock me if they win at Dallas next week.

d2bets · 09-14-10, 09:52 AM

I also think we learned that there is going to be a lot of parity this season. Some of the bad teams -- think Chiefs, Rams, Lions, Bucs - have improved. Not to where any are playoff teams, but they should win more games. I think you will see more teams that usual falling between 6-10 and 10-6. Maybe all but 3 or 4 teams. Lot of parity and playoff will be very bunched up and close.

soxwin · 09-14-10, 09:54 AM

you don't learn much after 1 game. No team is as good or as bad as they looked this week. by week 8 that is where a teams identity is formed. If you are making judgements based on 1 game, then get your ** or ** money out because you will be reloading soon.

actnatural · 09-14-10, 10:04 AM

hope you all sleep on Tenn, Miami, Jax, and Kc...more $ for me!!!

Smoke · 09-14-10, 10:06 AM

we learned that the NFL still doesn't like the detroit lions

They might be, but not based upon anything that happened in Week 1.

They scored 24 after the foot was taken off the neck. TO and 85 are already out of control.

That NFL is so much more boring than College

No doubt. The QB play in the NFL is just godawful. Check down, check down, check down. It's ridiculous.

Stealinhome · 09-14-10, 10:57 AM

The collage game is so much more fun than the NFL.

Seattle Slew · 09-14-10, 11:29 AM

I'll add Jake Delhomme is finished. He looks like a punch drunk boxer out there. Browns will not win 4 games.

Coaches likely fired during/after season.

Eric Mangini
Tom Cable
Lovie Smith
John Fox

Possible goners
Steve Spagnola

boeing power · 09-14-10, 12:44 PM

adding

matt moore is not an nfl QB

str · 09-14-10, 12:44 PM

Would have hoped that you would have learned that teams are never as good or bad, as they look on any given day.Nor are players, based on any given play.

And please ... No You Tube.

JayTrotter · 09-14-10, 12:48 PM

I learned that Kolb is an avid hunter.

Tom Brady is still a pimp (not just off the football field either ) And when he loses to the Jets in week 2? and he when he fails to win a Superbowl again?

Alex Smith is a CONFIRMED bust 49ers will make the playoffs.

Chicago Bears are still mediocre wow. good thing games are decided by one play. how bad are the Lions then because they got dominated.

Texans are up and coming Until the play a team with a rush defense. Their secondary was getting scorched.

Eli Manning can only get better No he can't.

The Bengals are who we thought they were And after they beat the Ravens in week 2?

The Raiders are who we thought they were

If Mike Vick dosent start the entire Eagle front office should be fired

Pete Carroll makes his players really happy We will see how they feel at 8-8.

Ravens defense is vicious Their pass defense is average at best. write it down and watch how it performs in any games they lose this year, like week 2.

The playcalling for the Vikings is horrible cannot dispute this one. shortening the game didn't work for the Colts either.

The Jets have a putrid offense and again I ask, what about when they beat Pats in week 2?

Tony Romo is garbo for a guy without an offensive line, thought he did just fine.
