Football (Americano)- Week 1 Analysis

Every other sports writer has something to say about the previous week's NFL performances. Figured we at DocGood should try to conjure up something ourselves...Heres a taste at how I perceived the first week of a long season:

AFC East:

Jets- season starts tonight. Quite possibly going to be the AFC championship game in a few months. Ray Rice + some shiny new wideouts make for an impressive offense. Jets defense is now complete. No excuses.
My prediction: 17-14 Jets, but 3-0 Ravens at halftime. Shonn Greene goes off for 145 yards and Sanchez marches gang green down the field for a game winning drive.

Patriots- Well, Wes is back. Randy Ma' is cryin already and its week 1. They looked dominant against a poor Cinci offense. Their defense looked good, but you can tell theyre still young. Bellichek is still a punk.

Dolphins- Now that Pat White is playing for rival Kansas City Royals, they have some breathing room. Running game looked good with Run Ricky & Ronnie Run. However, they played the Bills. 15 points is ugly and brandon marshall was no where.

Bills- Doubt they will win a game this season.

AFC West:

Broncos- Got twerked by Jacksonville. Tebow rushed for 2 yards! Their season is going to be similar to this game- a lot of chatter with very little production. Enough talk about "what if's"...season just started.

Raiders- Literally got their butts handed to them. CJ2K game McClain and the rest of that sorry defense a nice "welcome to the pros" sort of message. Run DMC looked good, but when you lose by 25, nothing is good.

Chargers- Playing tonight. Lots of hype for this kid Ryan Matthews out of Fresno State. Ive never believed in mid-major schools, but if hes anything like Bears RB matt forte, ill be eating my words by week 3. I bet they punish the Chiefs tonight through the air, without Vincent Jackson.

Chiefs- Another squad that may not win. Only prediction I have: Charlie Weiss is hungry by opening kickoff.

AFC North:

Steelers: Winning in OT in week 1 is always a good sign. Ive always like Dennis Dixon and this Rashard kid can ball. Get the defense on the same page and big ol' dumbbutt Rothliesburger back, and they are gonna be solid

Ravens: We will see tonight. They are tough on every facet.

Bengals: They are far more concerned with VH1 shows than football. Im sure the franchise is quite profitable, but it doesnt translate well on the field. Hold on tight in the back of the truck

Browns: 2 words; Jake Delhomme. Seasons over.

AFC South:

Colts- Finally got what they had coming. Peyton looked great, but where is the rest of the team? Bob Sanders out for the season again? Really? Whooda thought?

Texans- Be afraid, very afraid. They got verbally bodyslammed a few years ago when they drafted Mario Williams over Reggie Bush. One just beat the colts while the other cant beat a lawsuit to keep his Heismann trophy. 230+ rushing yards from a dude who was on the practice squad last year? Yea..sounds like a Cinderella.

Titans- Another scary team. Whenever you have athleticism like Vince Young or Chris Johnson, you can win anywhere at anytime. If they can keep their off-the-field issues to a low this season, such as bar fights and Kerry Collins bar tabs, then they have a legitimate change for a strong playoff run. cheers nate

Jaguars- I wrote them off before the season but they womped the Broncos. Not too impressive, but still a win. This team can be the team to bust  another teams chance to make it to the playoffs-if that makes any sense.

NFC East:

Giants- Eli wasn't bleeding, Jacobs wasn't crying, and the defense wasn't giving up monstrous plays. Sings of improvement for the new york football giants.

Cowboys- ended the shitty game on an offensive penalty after Roy Williams caught what would have been his first and only game winning TD. Sucks for them, great for "America."

Redskins- Well, McNabb didnt change much. Still firing bullet passes at the feet of his receivers about 5 feet out. Defense looked pretty good, but an awful playcall by Fat Fillups on the other sideline helped secure the win. They suck

Eagles- Gotta love Vick. He said it himself, "Had I played all 4 quarters, we would have won."
Can anyone sense the city of brotherly love is going to self implode anytime soon? Gotta love media!

NFC South:

Saints: Close, ugly win over the vikes. Little offseason changes  keeps them the wise choice for Super Bowl Contender. Me, I just miss Kim Kardashian on the sidelines.

Bucs: They looked like a JV team. They signed  a record deal to a wide receiver last year, only to release him this year. All around terrible team.

Panthers: Where was the run game? Where was this new, stylish quarterback? Where was Julius Peppers? (thats an easy one). Word is Jimmy Clausen might start next week. Good luck with that.

Falcons: nothing impressive on their end. Tony Gonzalez caught his 1,000th pass. Cool, but not that cool.

NFC North:

Packers: Looked very tough. While Rodgers threw 3 touchdowns, he also had 2 picks. Those are OK to happen early in the season. Defense looked great, even with a rookie corner. Pack is a trendy super bowl pick, but im a trendy dude.

Bears: Bear-ly squeaked by the Lions for a win. Might be one of their only. Other than Forte, the team had no energy. Is Urlacher out for the season yet?

Lions: Got robbed on a win. Defense is trash, Stafford is hurt. That kid Jahvid Best will be the only positive on their season.

Rams: Terrible.



OVERALL: jets will show they are boss. texans looked great. chris johnson will surpass 2500 yards. and this one: tape your ankles!!!
