Panthers 13 @ Vikings 16
Jeremy: I've yet to pick against the Vikes, you think I'm going to start now? Besides, this one's at home. Home opener baby!! I'm coming home voiceless.Matt: Steve Smith crawls to 3 TDs, but the Vikings still win 24 - 21.
Jon: In the first NFL regular season game that I attended, the Vikings kicked off to the Panthers to start the game and the Panthers returned it for a touchdown. The Panthers went on to win the game and never won a game the rest of the year. The kick returner, by the way, was a not-yet well known Steve Smith.
Sarah: Even though the Panthers played HORRIBLY, I still have a gut feeling that the Vikings will let the non-decent people of Minnesota down.
Redskins 10 @ Cowboys 27
Jeremy: T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O.Matt: I don't like either of these teams.
Jon: I feel like the Cowboys could easily lose. But so could the Washington team. Ever notice how much time the media spends on Dallas? I'm not really complaining, it's just interesting that between the press on T.O. and Bledsoe and Parcells, I feel like they're the local team.
Sarah: I care why?
Steelers 0 @ Jaguars 9
Jeremy: It's week 2 and these two teams could be fairly evenly matched, but that wont stop everyone from claiming 'What an upset' it would be for the Jaguars.Matt: Chas. Batch for MVP!!!
Jon: Everyone seems to be talking about how the Jaguars are kind of the forgotten team; and I agree. I think the Steelers are better.
Sarah: I think Roethlisberger will not do well and since my most hated Steeler player might not be playing, the Jaguars could win. Really? No Samkon anymore? I still can't believe it.

| Somebody is actually excited to play a team that will probably finish with no more than 6 wins, and that's being generous. With this much enthusiasm, I'm not convinced that K-Rob isn't still drunk or high. It just wouldn't make any sense. Either way, he'll probably return a kick for a touchdown or something like that and we'll forget about the whole thing. |

DEFCON 5 is actually the lowest level. Maybe that's what you were going for. DEFCON 1 is the highest level. |

man, if only I had started Vick and Greg Jennings. And Favre played a pretty good game. I actually started him over Jake Delhomme in my other league; it turned out to be a really good move. |

| There's a poll on ESPN right now about "Which is the worst team in the NFL?" and the Packers aren't even a choice! Clearly it's the Raiders anyway (68%), but I'm surprised to see the Lions as a choice instead of the Packers. |

| Who's worse, the Bucs or the Raiders. Both are teams with Pirate Mascots, (that's interesting). The Bucs are averaging 1.3 points per game, while the Raiders are averaging a high powered 3 points per game. Man, I'm glad there are still a few teams capable of taking the pressure off Green Bay for being the worst teams in the league. |

Time for my week 2 thoughts. I'm pretty pleased with Brad Childress and the Vikings. (There's a great ESPN Magazine article on him in the recent issue.) Obviously, we've had two close wins against opponents of questionable quality, but it's still two wins and the Vikings have played pretty well. One thing I am a little disappointed with, if you can call it that, is Childress's decision (I assume it's his) to kick the long field goal. In the first week the Vikings went for a 54 yard field goal in the fourth quarter. That would have tied Longwell's career long. He missed. In my opinion, that was the third best option there after punting and going for it. This week, in the third quarter, Longwell attempted a 51 yard field goal that was blocked. Again, I felt that it was probably the third best option there, maybe second best. Longwell is a pretty good kicker from deep, but even so, that's good field position to give to a team when you end up missing, especially in a close game. It's a minor complaint, and maybe it seems like I'm nitpicking, but it's bothered me both times. I've now seen Longwell attempt three long field goals this season (1 was in preseason) and if memory serves, he's 0-3. It might mean nothing, but I hope that if he doesn't have the range anymore, we don't keep going for it. Also, among the rules I'd like to see change in football, this might be the top on the list: If you fumble and it goes into the end zone you're going toward and it goes out of bounds, it's a touchback. I've had a problem with this for a little while now, and Matt and I even discussed it yesterday. It's a disproportionate "penalty" for what actually happens. I mean, if you fumble the ball and it goes out of bounds at the half inch line, you retain the ball and get it where you fumbled from. If it goes out a half inch in the end zone, the other team gets the ball at the 20. Now, yes, it's a game of inches and the end zone is different, but why should possession change only on those fumbles? As matt pointed out, other touchbacks occur when the team receiving the kick, or interception, downs the ball or goes out of bounds in the end zone. That team gets the ball at the 20, but they were the team that had the ball anyway. On the fumbling situation, we already know that fumbling out of bounds doesn't change possession in regular territory, so when you fumble out of bounds in the end zone why should that be a touchback situation for the team that otherwise wouldn't have gotten the ball at anywhere else on the field? It doesn't really make much sense. |

Longwell never had much range. it took a strong wind for him to even get a kickoff into the endzone, and it better have been a really strong wind. As for the fumble rule: what do you suggest? the fumbling team get the ball right where the fumble occured? That doesn't really seem right either, given that if you fumble into your own endzone it would be a safety. I think you are right in saying that the endzones are different. But I do think the current rule is a good one. |

Saints 34 @ Packers 27
Jeremy: I almost picked the Packers. Tough start for them though. Maybe they can earn their way up from the bottom of the Power Rankings. Maybe it'll even be 3243 - 0 again so we can hear all year about how despite not winning a game in 4 months the Packers have outscored their opponents.Matt: Question for the Packer fans here at the Can... If for some reason, the Saints wanted to trade Reggie Bush for Brett Favre straight up, would you approve?
Jon: Remember Packer fans, in 2003 the Patriots lost 31-0 in their opening game. They won the Super Bowl that season.
Sarah: This should be a good one... We have a chance to actually win a game. Although, this could be the game Reggie Bush rushes for 400 yards and 5 TDs to become an instant HOFer.
