NFL 12 week 2 synopsis

Well, last week I said that the Colts needed to get some help out there for Reggie Wayne. This week, Luck found Donnie Avery. The O-Line found much more of a rhythm, so Luck was able to have some time to stand and deliver a pass. Reggie still showed himself to be the man on that catch before halftime.


Our defense also started to look more like a unit, but I’d have felt better with a healthy Freeney. That said, it felt good to be able to stall AP as well as we did, even if Percy Harvin was still a beast.

The Colts still had plenty of struggles. Donald Brown proved adequate last year, but he’s not making it past the line of scrimmage on most plays. We need a fullback. We also had some help by just stupid penalties by Minnesota. But we cannot assume that the other team will hand the game to us.

Rest of the League:
Cards-Pats. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!! Arizona isn’t exactly considered one of the NFL’s power teams, but man did they put it to the Pats in New England. Which I love to see, because Brady is a chump. 

Panthers-Saints. Ok, yes, the Panthers showed a lot of potential this year, but man the Saints were bad. I mean, they seem to go through cycles and it’s their turn to be bad, but still.

Texans-Jags. Houston is gunning for another playoff appearance, but is it any wonder that I called that Indy would beat Jacksonville twice?

Fins-Raiders. Miami eventually overtook Oakland in the second half, but this game was back and forth the first half. Who would have guessed that two teams that bad would have made for a game that was this good?

Bengals-Browns. Yet another crushing, close loss for Cleveland, but that’s what they do.

Giants-Buccs. I bELIeve in Eli. The Buccs got off to a big lead, but we all know the Giants don’t even try unless they’re behind in the fourth.  Coughlin was right, by the way.  Don't lay a hand on my boy Eli.

Eagles-Ravens. Wow. Just wow. The Birdy Bowl was one heck of a game. The Eagles really didn’t deserve to win, but they pulled it out. That’s the way it goes sometimes.

Steelers-Jets.  It's TEBOW TIME!  That's right, Tebow had playing time.  He did a QB draw for a 22 yard gain.  Still, it's Tebow.   Seahawks-Cowboys.  All that proves is last week is a fluke and Romo is a big girl.   Rams-Redskins.  This game was old school.  By that, I mean they let the teams get away with a lot of cheap shots, illegal contact, and roughing the passer.  These are the things that make Unitas so great.  He played in a day when all that and more was legal.  Point is, I can understand Josh Morgan's frustration.  But in one selfish act, he put himself and his temper before the team.  You cannot do that.  Ever.  He needs to learn for Eli Manning and let his coach settle it.
