Kevin's Kickoff Week 2

Kevin's Kudos from Week 1:

Player: Running back Arian Foster, Houston Texans: Foster trampled the Colts defense for over 231 yards rushing in maybe the Texan's franchise biggest win since their inaugural season's opening victory against Dallas.

Runner-up: Quarterback, Tom Brady, New England Patriots

Team: Houston Texans: It was not Foster alone who helped the Texans overcome their divisional nemesis, the Colts, the offensive and defensive lines out-physicaled Indy and helped make for a long opening day for the defending AFC South champs. The Texans beating their divisional bully in the Colts kind of reminds me of George McFly punching out Biff Tannen at the end of Back to the Future.

Hello!!???.....McFly!!!????....

Kevin's says Booooooo!!! to you from Week 1:

Player: Alex Barron, Dallas Cowboys: When you cost your team the game on the final play with a blatant holding penalty, it is pretty much a no-brainer with who deserves to be listed here. The Cowboy's coaching staff deserves dishonorable mention not only for starting Barron and leaving him in the game after countless penalties called against him but for calling that horrendous play at the end of the first half which resulted in a Redskins touchdown....

Runner-up: Quarterback, Jake Delhomme, Cleveland Browns

Team: San Francisco 49ers: This could have easily gone to the Jets or Bengals but San Fran is supposed to walk away with the NFC West and when you get throttled by an inferior Seattle Seahawks team 31-6 it just makes one say “Wowsers.”

Runner-up: tie New York Jets, Cincinnati Bengals

Week 2:

Kevin's Seven: 7 big games to keep an eye on this weekend

Baltimore Ravens 1-0 at Cincinnati Bengals 0-1:

Ravens Knocked around the Jets Hard (get it?) on MNF football in Week 1 and dominated the game more than the 10-9 final score indicated. The Bengals on the other hand were slaughtered by the Pats and looked like a bunch of prima donnas for their opening game, much like their obnoxious receivers Ocho and TO. Now the Bengals find themselves staring at an 0-2 start with the team most likely to dethrone them as AFC North champs. Better not rest on your laurels this week, Cincy....

Ravens 24, Bengals 21

Miami Dolphins 1-0 at Minnesota Vikings 0-1:

Two teams that looked rather unimpressive in Week 1. Miami, albeit in a victory against lowly Buffalo, struggled offensively most of the game but managed to hang on for the win while the Vikings played good defense against the defending champ Saints but the offense looked like they were just thrown together two hours before kick-off. Hey, Childress!!! You might want to hand the ball off to Adrian Peterson more while Farve gets used to his wide receivers. Use your Assets....

Vikings 28, Dolphins 17

New England Patriots 1-0 at New York Jets 0-1

It has been a pretty bad week for Rex's boys after a disappointing home opening loss where the offense looked rather offensive and all the controversy surrounding the female reporter from Mexico's TV Azteca. Now they've got Mr. Tom Brady coming to town looking like the Brady of 2008. Uh Oh...Spagetti-O's!!! For the Jets to have any chance the offense is going to have to stay on the field and put some points up or Brady's offense is going to give Rex ulcers from starting the season at 0-2 and make him not want a "bleeping snack"....for once....

Patriots 26, Jets 14

Houston Texans 1-0 at Washington Redskins 1-0

The Skin's definitely have the Cowboy's stupidity to thank for their opening season win while the Texans ran all over Indy in a convincing victory. Sniff, Sniff...do I smell a letdown game for Houston? I don't think so as it is looking like Washington's offense is going to be a work-in-progress for much of the early season and the Texans now multi-dimensional offensive attack will prove too much for the Skins to keep pace with...

Texans 30, Redskins 20

Pittsburgh Steelers 1-0 at Tennessee Titans 1-0

The Steelers managed to squeak out a win at home against the Falcons in OT last week without the suspended Ben Roethlisberger at quarterback while the Titans smacked around the Raiders for an easy victory. Gauging a team based on a win against the Raiders is kind of tricky but this was one of those games where it is difficult seeing a Steelers victory even with Big Ben in the lineup but almost surely not with Dennis Dixon starting against what is looking like a very solid Titan team....

Titans 21, Steelers 13

New York Giants 1-0 at Indianapolis Colts 0-1

The best part of brothers Eli vs Peyton really isn't going to be the game, it's the great commercials leading up to the game. After the Manning boys NFL careers are over, they should get their own sitcom, it would be better than Perfect Strangers!!! BTW, I don't see the Colts starting 0-2...

Colts 35, Giants 27

New Orleans Saints 1-0 at San Francisco 49ers 0-1

The Niners are finally retiring Jerry Rice's #80 during halftime of the game, (about time, should have happened five years ago!). Couple that with the egg laying against Seattle last week, coach Singletary will have his team ready to go against the Champs but San Fran could definitely use the greatest wide receiver of all-time to keep pace with Drew Brees and Sean Peyton in this Monday Nighter....

Saints 34, 49ers 21

*Kevin's Culinary Tip for Week 2: Don't forget to get yourself some celery to have with your Wings this weekend; it is a good way to eat something that is healthy between all the junk food you'll be shoveling down your pie hole....

Enjoy Week 2..........Aaaarrrrrooooouuuuuuufffffffff!!!!!
