Week 2 Recap and My Impetuous Thoughts

Look, I realize that the week isn't literally over yet so I shouldn't be doing a recap post. But I am not going to wait for a Monday Night Football game that has no bearing on anything pertinent this early in the season. Was that explanation satisfactory for you? No? Okay fine, I'll tell you what happens tomorrow night. Colts win 34-10 and Miami gives more credence to everyone's prediction at the beginning of the season that they would have a significant drop-off in 2009. There. I just saved you 3 hours and a stern lecture from your boss for being late to work.

Anyway, what a day huh? There were touchdowns and field goals and tackles and punts. Pretty much everything you see during a day of football. But there were some things of note:

-Chris Johnson of the Tennessee Titans ran for 197 yards of 16 rushes, had 97 receiving yards on 9 catches, and scored 3 touchdowns. In my fantasy league, that amounted to 51.90 points. And in case you don't play fantasy, that's a lot of points. Luckily I was not playing the guy who had him. Would not have mattered though, I would have won anyway. I want you to look at this unbelievable performance by me allocating football players into positions for fantasy purposes:

That's right, 155.02 points. Enjoy the Brees indeed. If you would, you may also notice that I am writing this at the half of the Cowboys and Giants game. So barring four touchdowns a piece for Jason Witten and Marion Barber, I will be cruising to an easy victory.

Speaking of terrific performances (What. A. Segue.), Frank Gore had himself a day and a half. With two rushes of 79 and 80 yards respectively, Gore amassed a total of 207 yards on the ground today. At one point it seemed inevitable that he would break Adrian Peterson's single game rushing record of 296 yards. But it wasn't meant to be as Gore essentially stopped using his legs following his second big run.

Alright, enough tiptoeing around the subject. Get to the real story.
Okay, okay, relax. That's right, the New York Jets defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 44! Congratulations Jets! You deserved it!

I'm kidding of course. But given the amount of attention prior to the game, you could have easily mistaken today's Week 2(!) match-up between the Jets and Patriots as a battle for interstellar domination.

Take for instance the "Twitter Fight" between Jets safety Kerry Rhodes and physically deflated "After Picture" Rodney Harrison.

It's Week 2 fellas. The penis-measuring is for the playoffs.

That all being said. What a huge win for the Jets!!!!

All kidding aside, they really backed up all that meaningless talk since training camp. Especially Rex "I will one day have a trophy named after me" Ryan. He must have blitzed on 80% of the defensive snaps. And on 80% of the defensive snaps, Brady was on his back. Even when the Patriots had the ball at their own twenty yard line with less than two minutes to go and no timeouts, Ryan continued to bring the house. Not once did he fall back into prevent coverage. UPDATE: Tony Romo just threw another pick (And now back to your regularly scheduled programming).

It was an impressive win for the Jets. And as a fan, it was fun to experience a Jet/Patriot game that didn't end in crushing disappointment. I just hope to keep this season in perspective.

Yes, they are 2-0.

Yes, they have yet to give up an offensive touchdown.

But they still have a rookie quarterback, rookie head coach and no number one receiver. So forgive me for not acting like a New England Patriots fan (exceedingly arrogant and unrepentant sore winners). I'm going to take this season one game at a time.
