General NFL thoughts after Week 2

The Favre will not do well this year until either his ankle improves so that he is more mobile or they solve their o-line issues. A new receiver might help some, but it will not solve the issue of Favre having to spend too much time and energy trying to save his own life.

I marvel that with a program that will anonymously drive you home from anywhere for any reason, NFL players still get DWIs.

I wish I had a good solution to the concussion problem. It is a violent sport and it seems to me that concussions are not just happening on the massive hits. It pains me every time I hear about someone having one.

I hate the media asking Vick questions that would intentionally drive a wedge between he and Reid and Kolb. The team spent the whole offseason prepping for Kolb to be the starter. He has shown promise and has earned his shot at this. He played for a few minutes in the first game and didn’t do well, then got injured. Vick played very well backing him up, but you don’t ignore Kolb based on less than 1/8th of a game. Kolb is the future of the team. That doesn’t change after a few minutes of struggling. Vick is the backup and is doing a great job of it. If the status changes, Andy Reid will let you know. Let it be.

Lots of QBs were pulled pretty early this season.

I wonder if Al Davis will ever let the Raiders really put their team in Gradkowski’s hands. He has done very well with his opportunities. Though just like the Eagles situation. It is time to give the ball back to Jason Campbell and see if he learned anything from how Bruce handled a team with a weak o-line. If Jason can’t figure out how to move in the pocket and they won’t give Bruce a shot then perhaps Raiders should try to get Vick. He has the mobility to survive while they work on their o-line. Then, draft a QB who is very disciplined to bring up and lead the team for many years. They need a Peyton/Brees type who are very cerebral and will really do their homework and lead their team by example.

Flacco got some great new weapons to work with this offseason, but he is looking lost. Hope he figures out what is going on so that he can get back on track.

The Lions, Rams, and Browns are 0-2, no surprise, but they have lost their 6 games by an average of only 3 points per game.

Miami, Saints, and the Chiefs are 2-0, winning by an average of only 4 points a game. That means they were not too far from being on the previous list.

The Bills are really really bad.

The 49ers are the best 0-2 team (sorry Minny and Dallas).

The Steelers are looking really good for a team on their #3 QB or is it #4?

Are the Patriots are having a hard time putting a complete games together? The 2 games were a combined 38-13 at halftime but were outscored 39-14 in the second half. The first game could have been just cruising on a big lead, but the loss to the Jets was not like that at all. Are they missing on their halftime adjustments or are teams figuring them out at half time? Not typical of Bill’s team.
