Here are my quick observations, rants, stew and syrup from Sunday's action.
1) Wasn't Donnie Avery supposed to be the second coming of Torry Holt this year? I only mention this because there was a sighting...
2) Strong performance in a losing cause for Ray Rice, 142 combined yards and a TD.
3) Cedric Benson is making a statement that his top 5 selection a few years ago by the Bears was no mistake, although maybe the Bears gave up on him too soon.
4) Did anyone see that pathetic game in Buffalo? Other than 100 yards posted by Jamal Lewis, completely forgettable. Derek Anderson, 2 for 17 for 23 yards? Come on man! (ok, stealing that from the ESPN crew)
5) Miles Austin is my first mention of the MANY huge WR efforts today. 250 yards and 2 TDs is HUGE. Could Austin turn into the #1 receiver that Roy Williams just is not? Have to mention the solid game from Tony Romo as well, largely due to hook ups with Austin
6) Welcome to the NFL Jerry Maclin. I drafted Maclin, but when McNabb got hurt, he seemed to disappear. Now, McNabb is back and Maclin posted an excellent game 142 and 2 TDs.
7) The Soldier found a way to show up strong today, as Winslow caught 2 TDs and over 100 yards. Where was that in Cleveland last year Kellen?
8) How bad is Oakland? How good are the Giants? It looks like Ahmad Bradshaw as taken over as the back of choice in New York. Any other REALLY disappointed Brandon Jacobs owners out there? And WHEN will the Raiders bench the aweful JaMarcus Russell?
9) How bad is Calvin Johnson's knee? I didn't see the play, but saw the numerous references throughout the afternoon's games. Keep your fingers crossed for good news.
10) Rothlisberger just keeps rolling along, continuing to transform Pittsburgh into a pass-first offense. 3 more TDs added to an excellent start to the season for Big Ben.
11) Jason Campbell is the most inconsistant QB in the league. After a couple weeks in which us fantasy owners maybe started having hope, he lays an absolute egg against Carolina, 145 and a single TD. A really weak effort.
12) Honestly, there was nothing to even get excited about in the Panthers v Redskins game.
13) How good was Roddy White? 210 and 2 scores. After a somewhat slower start, owners are hoping this keeps up. Matt Ryan also have a nice game, and as with Tony Romo, largely from Mr White.
14) Michael Turner is a beast. He beat up the 49'er defense en route to 3 trips to the end zone and 97 pounding yards.
15) Welcome back Matt Hasselbeck! His yardage was modest at 241, but his 4 TD tosses brought the Seahawks to life, including the previously almost silent TJ Housh!
16) A VERY quiet day for MJD owners. Ok, quit your crying!
17) Wow, I am shocked at the Broncos. 5-0? Really? and beating down the Hoodie? Nice. Way to man-up Brandon Marshall. Now that he has his head straight, if you can buy a bit low, do it.
18) A great display of the two best WRs in the NFL. Larry Fitz 2 TDs and a modest 79. Andre Johnson strong with 101 and 2 scores of his own.
19) Steve Slaton disappears again, after teasing owners last week. Sure, he shows up when I play against him and becomes the hermit again the next week. Thank you Steve!
20) Too early to write on the Colts vs Titans, but if the Titans lose again, do we see Vince Young soon? Time to see if he is really an NFL QB.
