Tuesday Morning Hangover

All I can say is that week 1 was awesome and am happy the regular season is now offically under way. It's interesting because while this was the first week of the regular season you can see where a lot of teams are still knocking the rust off so to speak. While there were plenty of mistakes and a couple real headscratchers this week, the football was good and it looks like this could be one of the most competitive seasons we have had for a while.

Game of the Week

While I loved watching the Broncos trounce the Ravens, I think the best game of the week was actually the Packers vs 49ers game. This game is what football should be with both teams in it until the end.

Play of the Week

This was tough to pick but I decided to go with Brian Cushings diving interception towards the end of last nights game. It's not often you get to see a linebaker pull that kind of thing off.

Player of the Week

Have to go with Reggie Bush. It really doesn't seem that long ago everyone was writing him off as over rated but he keeps showing up. I really think he is a perfect fit for the Lion's scheme and wouldn't be surprised if we hear his name a lot this season.

Bonehead of the Week

Clay Mathews needs to stop worrying so much about proving he is a tough guy and focus more on playing football. Admitted, Mathews is one of the best linebackers in the game, but just imagine what he could do if he worried more about playing football instead of proving how hardcore he is. That hit on Kapernick was not only uncalled for, but hurt his team and probably gave the 49ers the game.

Random Thoughts

Tom Brady might be a mortal man but after Sunday's performance I am starting to think he might not be. While the Pats played a pretty sloppy game, they held on for the win and Brady made some spectacular thorws.

Chip Kelly's offense might be a good thing for the NFL but you have to wonder how long the team can keep that kind of pace up. If the Eagles keep that kind of tempo up all season they are going to be having to use every single person on their roster in every single game just so people can breathe.

I hope RGIII knocks off the rust because he just didn't look like himself out there last night. I think the injury is still causing him a bit of an issue but if he can keep from getting hit, he should be okay.

I really hope the Saint's defense is the real deal. They looked really good Sunday and it would be nice to see that trend continue.
