NFC EAST:
Let's start with the Eagles- Cowboys game. Great game with a disappointing ending. Eagles have holes, but more importantly they exposed Dallas's weaknesses to every other opponent. Their secondary is suspect no matter how many big names they have. Moreover, their front four don't get much pressure against a first rate offensive line like the Eagles. DONOVAN McNABB is BACK, and despite his foolishness, Desean Jackson is a star.
The Giants beat up on a soon to be Scott Linehan less St Louis Rams squad. The Redskins beat up a very lackluster Saints team. Jason Campbell's numbers look good, but didn't look confident, but they got the win anyway.
Whoever wins this division is the favorite to go to the Super Bowl.
NFC NORTH:
Well, we know Aaron Rodgers can play, but we always knew he could Durability was the question, so we'll see. Brad Childress finally relieved Tarvaris Jackson & Gus Frerotte is a step up. The Bears can't win on defense & special teams. If they had a viable offense they would've beaten Carolina. The Lions just plain stink in spite of a valiant comeback.
NFC SOUTH:
Carolina is 2-0 withouth Steve Smith. Pretty impressive. This team looks like they have a spark back. Jake Delholmme has rarely looked better. The Saints do not inspire, the Bucs have no offensive identity & the Falcons are rebuilding. Don't let Matt Ryan's numbers fool you. In just his 2nd start he showed poise & composure against a difficult Bucs defense. He'll be a star.
NFC WEST:
The Cardinals look very good under Kurt Warner's leadership. If he stays healthy, they'll win this division comfortably. BELIEVE IT OR NOT. The 49ers have firepower but not enough to matter, The Rams may be the worst team in the league & Seattle is so riddled with injuries, it's difficult to see how they recover quickly.
AFC EAST:
The Pats played it close to the vest, but the JETS playcalling helped a lot, as conservative as it was. The Dolphins are playing hard, but don't have enough in the tank to win. The Bills look fantastic. A fine & terribly underrated young QB Trent Edwards who is quickly becoming one of the best. They're defense is solid, Marshawn Lynch is a beast & they may have the best Special teams in football.
AFC NORTH:
Pittsburg is the class of this division, but Roethlisberger may have nagging, recurring problems. Cleveland played them very well, but their investment in the DL looks like a bust. But it's only week 2. Baltimore was off due to Hurricane IKE & the Bengals are the greatest set of underachievers. Will Carson Palmer ever play for a good team?
AFC WEST:
The Broncos look very good, but they should be 1-1. They look inspired, but I'm not totally convinced. With Shawne Merriman gone & LT hurting though, the Broncos may likely win by default. The Chiefs are forced to start Tyler Thigpen at QB & the Raiders took advantage of a bad Chiefs team.
AFC SOUTH:
The Colts would be 0-2 if the Vikings had a QB, but instead they pulled a rabbit out of their hat. That's what champions do though. They win games they shouldn't. Teams like Minnesota never win championships because they lose games they should win. Houston was off due to Hurricane IKE. Jacksonville loses when teams put eight in the box & stuff the run. As yet, David Garrard hasn't been able to getdefenses to play honest.
Tennessee made the best decision by sticking with Kerry Collins at QB over Vince Young. They might win this division, but it's early
