week 2 NFL review

So week 2 showed very little improvements with almost all teams. The lack of chemistry and mistakes continue. Tons of penalites and turnovers. This week also saw an increase in too many men on the field penalities. Come on how hard is it to count to 11 guys. I must applaud Wade Phillips and the medical team for the Cowboys for not allowing Jason Witten to go back in no matter how much he pleaded that he was fine. Head injuries are serious and need to continue to be dealt with cautiously. There were some more upsets this week as well.The Bears beat the Cowboys, the Jets beat the Patrioits, and the Dolphins beat the Vikings. The Vikings and the Cowboys are now 0-2 not many would have predicted this. The best receiving effort this week goes to Andre Johnson of the Houston Texans.  The best runners this week were Darren McFadden of the Oakland Raiders and Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings. The best single effort in the backfield came from Tim Hightower of the Arizona Cardinals with an 80 yard run for a TD. The best passer is a hard one this week. How does one choose between two players who both passed for over 400 yards. Matt Schaub of the Texan threw for 497 yards with 3 TD passes and 1 INT. Donovan McNabb of the Washington Redskins threw for 426 yards with 1 TD and no INTs. The best defensive effort again goes to Clay Matthews of the Green Bay Packers. He had 3 more sacks, numerous tackles, and all in all an animal out there on defense. The NFL again had a controversial call for a touchdown in the Chicago Bears game. The league needs to address this rule soon. On a disappointing note New York Jets receiver Braylon Edwards was arrested for DWI. He is just stupid in my opinion. He could have made 1 simple phone call and someone would have picked him up and arranged to transport his vehicle. This week Edwards gets the biggest idiot award. On a very sad note the Denver Broncos lost another player to death. Wide receiver Kenny McKinley was found dead in his home of an apparent suicide. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Broncos, the NFL, and most importantly to McKinley's family in this sad time.
