1 p.m. Games Recap: Trio of Unlikely Unbeatens – Packers, 49ers, Texans
Uncategorized September 16th. 2007, 4:15pm
Before we get to the recaps, feel our pain – we got the Giants-Packers snoozefest, and our second game is Jets-Ravens. Ugh.
Rams 16, 49ers 17: Jeff Wilkins missed a 56-yard field goal with a minute left and the lucky-ass 49ers are 2-0. Two wins by a total of four points.
Cincinnati 45, Cleveland 51: Derek Anderson had five touchdown passes and Jamal Lewis rushed for 216 yards in the most exciting game of the young season. The teams combined for over 1,000 yards and Carson Palmer tossed six TD passes, but was picked on the final drive with less than 30 seconds left.
Texans 34, Panthers 21: These aren’t your older brother’s Texans. The Panthers took a 14-0 lead at home, watched in horror as Houston reeled off 34 straight. The Texans are 2-0.
Packers 35, Giants 13: Commence Coughlin watch. The NY media will attempt to castrate him for this one. New York has the worst defense in the NFC after letting Favre to throw for 286 and three scores. Green Bay’s 2-0. Eli started, but it didn’t matter.
Steelers 26, Bills 3: Many had Buffalo as a team to watch. We scoffed. You wanted to blow Losman. We laughed harder. Big Ben threw for 242 yards and a score, and Willie Parker rushed for 126 yards as Pittsburgh improved to 2-0.
Tampa Bay 31, New Orleans 14: Who will be the first to ask if Sean Payton’s awesome rookie year was done with – gasp – smoke and mirrors? The running game is non-existent again. Two road losses to open the season and Reggie Bush has been an absolute non-factor.
Titans 20, Colts 22: Vince Young’s magic ran out near midfield on the final drive as the Colts hung on for the road win to improve to 2-0.
Jacksonville 13, Atlanta 7: Joey Harrington limited mistakes, but he was sacked seven times and Jaguars rung up nearly 400 yards of offense in the win.

I guess we will have to wait a few more weeks for the Brady Quinn live blog.

Umm….what about your Saints?
There’s a difference between fantasy and reality my friend. Though, NO ONE would think they’d be this bad. I was wary of Drew Brees (I still have nightmares of his years down in San Diego), but my goodness. 26 completions for 260 yards? What happened to that downfield offense you saw last year.

This is coming from a Browns fan…what the crap was that? Every high school football team in Ohio teaches defense. Think of the kids man, think of the kids!

And by the way, Cleveland won that game, you got the scores backwards.

Lucky-ass Niners? Keep hating TBL, all that matters is the Niners are 2-0!!!! Bring on the Steelers

Justin McCareins (sp?) just lost his job with the Jets. He dropped TWO touchdown passes in the fourth quarter that could have sent the game with the Ravens to OT.
Kellen is pretty damn tough.

Colts were lucky to pull that game out today. They left about 16 points on the field and their secondary obviously had some serious footing issues all game. Next time, bring the long cleats and punch the shit in when you get in the red zone.

Baltimore Ravens.
Perfect way to kill time until Sunday Night football, if an after church nap is your end game.
