Football Wrap-Up

So, Football last night was intense right? The 49ers put up a fight, and for the second week in a row the defending champions escaped by the skin of their teeth. Given they faced two of the stoutest defenses in the league, the running game needs to step-up which will indeed be hampered by the lost of Reggie Bush. Although not the best with yards his constant threat causes defenses to game plan for him, so now their efforts can concentrate more on the offense of the Saints.

Boy oh boy did Alex Smith have a heck of a game! If people didn't believe that the 49ers could have been something last year, they certainly must believe now. With their defense and the QB/TE combination that they have now... the AFC better watch out cause the 49ers are back.

But now on to this weeks commentary.

Most surprising 2-0 team:

I could have picked the Bears, who by all accounts were given a win against Detroit by a bad NFL rule, and hammered a Cowboy's team that was looking to prove something in their home opener. However, by far, the biggest surprise has to be the Kansas City. A team that went from being ranked 25th in Offense and 30th in Defense in 2009 to being even worse on Offense, and not much better on Defense, but still managing to put that all important W up.

Most surprising 0-2 Team:

I am honestly surprised that Minnesota is 0-2, although I predicted a loss against the Saints, I thought that they would be able to hold their own against MIA. But that's not my pick. The Cowboys have to be the biggest surprise. In a year where the road to the Super Bowl leads home to new Cowboys Stadium, you would think that they would play with some sort of chip on their shoulder. Their running game has been non-existent, they haven't scored over 20 points and lost to a resurgent Redskin team that honestly they should have beat. They play Houston next week, and with the balance of that team, the Boys might be looking down the barrel of 0-3.

Weakest player:

I could pick Romo, but the Cowboys offensive attack is ranked top 10 in the league, I could pick Jacobs from the Giants the so called bruising back that's not moving the pile. But, I must choose the great Bret Favre, who reached new lows of disappointment in Week 2 with 3 turnovers and no TDs, including a costly fumble in the end-zone.

Surprise Player:

Had to be the come-back kid Mike Vick. Although his running dominance is not a surprise amassing over 200 yards in the last two games, it's his accuracy with the ball that gets him the nod. He has had 2 games full of good decisions, decisive throws, and NO INTs, finally playing like the dirty bird Mike Vick we're use to seeing before such a dramatic fall. And he's been rewarded with a guaranteed start next week... Stay tuned folks, if Mike Vick is, as he put in his own words, "10x better than I ever was", the league should be put on notice.
