Week 2 In Brief

As always the NFL threw up more than just a 500 yard game from Eli Manning but some shock scores around the league leaving all but 4 teams with a 1-1 record. Obviously I’m going to start with my Steelers getting back to winning ways against flash in the pan Mark Sanchez and his Jets.

Without being a brilliant game (Typical Steelers Football) and a bunch of 3 & outs in the second half surely Tebow time is just around the corner. Where does this leave Jets fans?, not knowing which Sanchez is going to turn up week after week? Some say “again” the Steelers D is too old and without Harrison and Polomalu we still only gave up 10 points which is more worrying for Jets fans on the back of Sunday night.

Big Ben showed us all again why he is not considered an elite QB but he gets the job done and I’m liking the look of Dwyer for those dirty yards. I wouldn’t worry too much if I was a jets fan, after all we’re only 2 games down and they’re sitting pretty at 1-1.

The Ravens going down to the Eagles was a bonus as Andy Reid’s men go 2-0 with a 2^nd 1 point win which also made me smile. I’m not convinced the Eagles will do enough to keep Reid in a job but lady luck is certainly on their side. The Eagles D however made Flacco look human again but I’ve no doubt the Ravens will top the AFC north and give the Steelers a good kicking along the way (Twice).

We’ve already seen the good, the bad, and the ugly of Tony Romo this season which I love because I think he’s over rated anyway but what do I know about football? I thought the Cowboys would walk all over the Seahawks.

RG3 was at it again with 206 yards and 1 TD passing and 82 yards and 2 TD’s rushing yet it wasn’t enough to over come a stubborn Rams D with no other Skins player picking up more than 89 yards. It was nice to see Sam Bradford pick up over 300 yards and 3 TD’s for the Wembley bound Rams who picked up what I thought was an unlikely win.

The Cardinals turning over the Pats must be the shock of the week other than the Chargers and the Bills putting up over 30 points a piece. Go Chargers, the Bills will come back down to earth before long.

So yeah the Pats missed a game winning field goal, that’s right Stephen Gostkowski missed a 42 yard field goal, just as well I took him out of my fantasy team for David Akers. Gostkowski is the best Kicker in Patriots history but on this occasion wasn’t quite enough to pick up the W. To be fair you would have thought the Pats would have had enough Offensively to comfortably see off the Cardinals and losing Aaron Hernandez Early on didn’t help the cause of the Tight End Happy Tom Brady who still threw 316 yards. The field goal miss was reminiscent of the AFC Championship game which dearly cost the Ravens a trip to Indianapolis, I didn’t feel too sorry for the Ravens though, or the Pats on Sunday to be fair.

Pick Of The Week Steelers @ Broncos

Week one is in the bag and as always there’s plenty to discuss. If you’ve been living under a rock for the week here’s what went down, The giants went down against bitter rivals the Cowboys on Wednesday night on their own patch “OUCH”. The Result didn’t surprise me, to be fair it’s one of them games that could always go either way. What did surprise me however was the lack of atmosphere at the Metlife stadium. The Giants on the back of a Superbowl win, at home against their rivals and the crowd never really got going.

Anywho, it was a great game to kick off the new season. The Bears gave Andrew Luck a welcome to the big league with 3 picks and a fumble but that just shows theirs work to be done and it don’t matter how good your QB is you still need team mates that can catch a ball. Luck still picked up over 300 yards so it’s not all bad for you Colts fans.

Mark Sanchez shut out bench warmer Tim Tebow in the Jets opening game but again to be fair the Bills can make anyone look good and I imagine Tim will get his shot before long. Michael Vick seems determined to give Andy Reid a heart attack throwing twice as many interceptions than TD’s against the making up the numbers Cleveland Browns “Go Dream Team”, The Eagles came out on top “just” but I still think it’s funny.

RG3 showed the NFL what he’s about with 320 yards and 2 TD’s over the coach less Saints, and the rest of the news is self explanatory really, the Ravens showed us all why they are the team to watch in the AFC by dismantling the Bengals.

Right so, Steelers @ Broncos L . If you haven’t been living under a rock but instead watched this game in the comfort of your own home on a massive TV then you’ve probably had your fill of articles about Manning’s return and how Manning is bigger than the Beatles and Manning, Manning, Manning but to be fair he is pretty good.

31-19 was the final score in case it hasn’t been rubbed in your face enough and Peyton picks up his first W as a Bronco. Manning picks up all the headlines but much of this victory should go to the Broncos D. Tracy Porter was outstanding in breaking the Steelers patched up O-Line and stopping Big Ben having any joy in the red zone.

The QB numbers were almost identical 253 yards for Manning and 245 for Big Ben. The big difference was the 1 INT which gave up 6 and PAT. I will seem biased as a Steelers fan but I just don’t like how all the credit goes to Manning as the Broncos D were incredible and the Steelers D really missed James Harrison.

I never expected a result for the Steelers as I can’t remember the time we won a game that was televised on channel 4, plus Manning’s first game for over a year, the whole “cheers Tim but we don’t need you no more, thanks for getting us to the playoffs though” J .

All the NFL pundits say the Steelers D is too old now but I don’t think we have the same cutting edge plays as we did two years ago so you could argue is it the players or the defensive coordinator? Bit of both probably.

Nevertheless a good win for the Broncos and I’ll take nothing away from them but I think the result is reflected just as much as the Steelers throwing the game away as Manning winning the game. The Broncos should have a good season and make the playoffs but the Superbowl? Maybe not this season. My beloved Steelers will be there or thereabouts but I wouldn’t bet against a Hardbaugh show down in New Orleans come February 3^rd. Ravens v 49ers Superbowl?

Who says us Brits can’t play football?

Granted England proved once again that we can boast “we’re the 8^th best team in Europe” after another miserable European championship tournament. Not to worry I’m not here to talk football or Soccer if you’re from across the pond, I’m talking about FOOTBALL.

Again, granted the only foot that plays any part in this kind of football is after a team has slugged it out down after down for 100 yards to put up 6 points on the board, then on comes the ‘KICKER’. A toe punt from 20 yards and have a seat “I’ll have that extra point thanks”. Now I’ve said my piece for the haters and the Kicker (Don’t kid yourself, YES Your team DOES need you J ) we can get down to business.

Forget about Manchester United or City buying up the league. We got the real FOOTBALL on our door step and one of these teams is coming up to their 30^th anniversary.

The Birmingham Bulls were born in 1983 (so was I). While I was rocking to Culture Club with a Bros patch on my jeans the Bulls were paving their way to the top and made their first playoffs in only their 2^nd season. The Bulls didn’t stop there and developed the taste for the post season. Only missing out on an early summer holiday 3 times in 25 seasons, that‘s right 22 playoffs made out of 25.

With the Bulls passports safely locked up they have gone on to win 4 British Titles and been runners up a staggering 5 times.
