WEEK 2
Sunday, Sept. 14, 2008
**Chicago **at Carolina, 1pm
I honestly have no idea what to expect from either team but the Bear D looked like it was the 2006 version. That’s good enough for me!

Tennessee at Cincinnati, 1pm
Cincy is regressing again.

Green Bay at Detroit, 1pm
Why should I ever believe in Detroit?

Buffalo at Jacksonville, 1pm
This will probably be the best game of the week. Jacksonville is tough to beat at home.

Oakland at Kansas City, 1pm
Raiders look lost.

Indianapolis at** Minnesota**, 1pm
Manning will still be trying to work his way back to his lofty standards. Til then the Colts will struggle.

N.Y. Giants at St. Louis, 1pm
Rams stink. Period.

New Orleans at Washington, 1pm
'Skins come across as disorganized.

San Francisco at Seattle, 4:05pm
Upset special. Seahawks looked terrible in Buffalo and have no one for Hasselback to throw to.

Atlanta at** Tampa Bay**, 4:05pm
Reality punches Atlanta in the face.

Miami at Arizona, 4:15pm
Taking the Cards is a risky proposition but hte Dolphins have to crawl before they can run.

San Diego at Denver, 4:15pm
Chargers are overrated.

Baltimore at Houston, 4:15pm
Mr Flacco meet Mr. Willaims. Again and again and again.

New England at N.Y. Jets, 4:15pm
I think the Farve thing is all hype but the loss of Brady will hurt them in games like this.

Pittsburgh at Cleveland, 8:15pm
The Browns are not ready for primetime!

.Monday, Sept. 15, 2008
Philadelphia at Dallas, 8:30pm
Take the home team.

Sunday
Chicago at Carolina
Still not a believer in the Bears and Orton

Tennessee at Cincinnati
Collins may be better for the Titians

Green Bay at Detroit
atleast the Lions are at home…

Buffalo at Jacksonville
Still think the Bills are a ‘pretender’, but Jag’s oline is really beat up

Oakland at Kansas City
This game could deciede the #1 pick in the draft…

Indianapolis at Minnesota
I have more faith in Manning bouncing back than Jackson

New York Giants at St. Louis
Atleast the rams are at home…

New Orleans at Washington
Redskins did have a few extra days to prepare, but…

**San Fransisco **at Seattle
Who will catch the ball for the seahawks?

Atlanta at Tampa Bay
Ryan will really struggle against a real defense

Miami at Arizona
Arizona looking like the possible favorite to win the west

San Diego at Denver
Merriman-less chargers still win due to big game from LT

**New England **at New York Jets
Brady didn’t play defense, which shuts down Favre and Jets

Pittsburgh at Cleveland
Pittsburgh isn’t as good as they played last week, while the Browns aren’t as bad

Monday
Philadelphia at Dallas
Taking the home team

Baltimore at Houston
Ravens aren’t as good as they looked last week, while the Texans will actually play some defense.

Sunday
Chicago at Carolina
I like Carolina’s offense, they’re my trendy pick of the year.

**Tennessee **at Cincinnati
Tennessee’s offense was weak with Vince Young, expect The Titan’s to run amok.

Green Bay at Detroit
Detroit’s defense was pitiful last week.

Buffalo at Jacksonville
The Jaguars finally get things clicking.

Oakland at Kansas City
Ich…will anyone actually care about this game?

**Indianapolis **at Minnesota
Minnesota can stop the run, but can they stop Peyton’s laser rocket arm?

New York Giants at St. Louis
The Rams are awful.

New Orleans at Washington
Even without their main go-to guy, the Saint’s should handle Washington

San Fransisco at Seattle
Is there anyone on Seattle that isn’t on the injury report?

**Atlanta **at Tampa Bay
An upset, and Tampa Bay is down 0-2 in against division opponents.

Miami at Arizona
Arizona is the better team.

San Diego at Denver
LT might be hurt, and the defense will be lacking.

New England at New York Jets
No way Brett loses his home opener.

Pittsburgh at Cleveland
Cleveland isn’t the inspirational story they were last year.

Monday
**Philadelphia **at Dallas
It’s going to be a shootout, but I think Jessica Simpson wrote a check her boytoy can’t cash.

Baltimore at Houston
Toss up, but I like the Texans playing at home.

Since when is playing a cake schedule, getting lucky with injuries, and having your supposedly godlike QB choke in the clutch with playoffs on the line an “inspirational story”? Har.

If you haven’t figured it out by now, I tire of the smoke and mirrors rah rah junk surrounding this team, both team and media generated.

It’s time someone (cough Romeo Crennel cough Derek Anderson cough Phil Savage cough) be held accountable for their shortcomings.

I do agree with XaulZan’s assessment in an earlier post. They aren’t as bad as the showed against Dallas - that doesn’t mean they’re any good, etiher. Add the usual horrible level of injuries a Cleveland sports team is typically saddled with during a season, and you have a recipe for blah.

Time to stand up and take pride in yourselves. There’s no reason for fans to do so unless the players and coaches show they truly care and have passion for their profession that rises above merely showing up and collecting a paycheck.

I shall rather enjoy the impending Pittsburgh slaughter should the Browns continue to exude a pathetic approach to each game. One can only hope a miracle occurs and they actually show up caring about the outcome - then maybe they might make a respectable showing. Otherwise - to oblivion…and beyond!

I’m in a let’s be random mood today, so…

Sunday
Chicago at Carolina

Green Bay at Detroit Detroit couldn’t beat Atlanta who is one of the worst teams in the league. Nuff said

Oakland at Kansas City Oakland is awful
Indianapolis at Minnesota Peyton and company get back on track with a W.
New York Giants at St. Louis St Louis is awful too.
New Orleans at Washington Washington looked pretty awful last week
San Fransisco at Seattle going to be an ugly game. Seattle has no WR’s, so Niners win by a FG.
Atlanta at Tampa Bay Atlanta is awful
Miami at Arizona This game will probably be a suckfest like the Niners-Seattle game.
San Diego at Denver Denver seems to be the better team right now, but the Chargers still have LT, so they could easily prove me wrong
New England at New York Jets Cassel could be great, but I’m gonna go with Favre
Pittsburgh at Cleveland Cleveland looked baaaad last weekend

Monday
