2011 overall: 10-6
What I Saw Coming:
1. The Colts are bad without Peyton Manning.
In the new total QBR system, Kerry Collins scored an illustrious...2.2. The Colts looked bumbling and confused, and the Texans looked almost as happy as a Broncos' fan in Tim Tebow's bedroom.
2. The Patriots aren't going anywhere.
Anyone who doubted the New England Patriots offense, well, the Patriots put up over 600 yards against a mediocre team.
3. The Pittsburgh Steelers have a headache
And the only cure...is a season removed from the Super Bowl.
What Surprised Me:
1. Cam Newton
The man looked surprisingly sharp in his NFL debut. You can't change my opinion in one game, but you can sure make me nervous.
2. The Buffalo Bills (or maybe the Chiefs?)
Either the Bills have figured out how to deploy their offense correctly, or the Chiefs are looking at a rough season on defense. Either way, the Chiefs had no spark on offense.
3. Atlanta has no idea what's going on
You're not going to sell me on the Bears with one win, but you can sure make me nervous about the 2011 Falcons.
What Just Plain Pissed Me Off:
The Broncos, the Raiders, and JEROME BOGER. We all remember Boger from did-not-complete-the-process fame last year, but tonight he was just plain obnoxious. Flags were being thrown every two or three plays. He also missed what's supposed to be the all-important leading with the helmet call.
That aside, the Broncos and the Raiders were playing like obnoxious bratty school children who just couldn't get their way. Champ Bailey fell over before the play...three times. Players were roughing each other for the ball instead of tackling each other, there was a fight every two or three plays...
Sloppy, classless, football.
That's all for week 1, until next time.
