This is week 2 of the NFL season and there are some interesting match-ups. New England will square off against the NY Jets. Mark Sanchez looked impressive in week 1, however, now he will face a big test. The Patriot’s Defense, although not as great as it was in the mid 2000’s, still is formidable as we saw last week against Buffalo. Is Sanchez a star in the making, or was it a one week fluke?
Sunday night’s game is the one I am really interested in as it pits the NY Giants against the Dallas Cowboys. This is an NFC East showdown and the first Regular Season game in the Cowboy’s new stadium. The Giants Defense preformed well last week, but they face a test. Dallas has an awesome Offense and their Defense is good as well. Eli Manning will have to step up to the plate with the Offense and score some points.
The Saga of NFL Drama Queen: Brett Farve will lead the Vikings against the hapless Detroit Lions. This probably will be a rout since Detroit is a joke of a team. Farve has yet to face a really good team, it will interesting when he faces Green Bay later in the season.
Here are a good analysis of Week 2.
Discuss any games you want here or other games as well.
In 2 weeks I will be live blogging from a sports bar by my house, so that is something to look forward to.
Enjoy the games and have a cold beer as well. Trash talking is encouraged!
I hate the Giants, but I REALLY hate the Cowboys.
Go Eli and crew!
As long as you let Jason Witten score at least once!
I’m glad that I get to watch the Jets-Pats game here.
Hopin’ for a Brady Crunch!

I hope he throws a pass long enough to hit Olbermann in the mouth.

re: #4 by Carolina Girl
Olbermann’s mouth will most likely be occupied with some prominent liberal from the area, so the best we can hope for is the back of his head.
Chelsea is crushing Tottingham 3-0

re: #16 by coldwarrior
Huge All Blacks fan myself. Have a friend in ChristChurch who was visiting and got me up at 5:00 a.m. to travel to a sports bar on Stanyan Street to watch the World Cup in 1999. When those were over, we stuck around and watched the Cal game. He was laughing at the basis for the penalties.
i will root for the giants because i dislike the ownership of the cowboys.
and i offer condolences for our friends in chicagoland this afternoon.

Vikings should easily rout Lions enroute to a 15-1 season and superbowl appearance.
Twins are hoping to pull to within one game of the division leading Tigers.
So which teams are in the race for dead last? Lions and Vikings?

we got a great game in chicago tonight!
For those of you who follow this sort of thing, a little tidbit you might not have heard.
The huge scoreboard at the new Cowboys stadium has been discussed at great length, but seldom is it mentioned that the NFL approved the screen before it was built, and approved it after it was complete. The little tidbit is this, the NFL quietly admitted that they said the screen would be acceptable at 85ft. above the surface, but they based their decision on…nothing.
Just grabbed the number out of thin air.
The Cowboys put it at 90ft. anyway.
That is all, carry on.
re: #123 by no2liberals
did someone hit it again?
the steelers lost? we gotta get our running game back!
Da Bills!
re: #126 by jeppo
I bow to the Bills today. They shut the run down, and held it together.
Damn! my Bills won today! Hooray!
I’ll be keeping an eye on the Cowboys/Giants game (between intervals of The Simpsons, that is).
About four minutes left in the 1st quarter; Cowboys up 7-3; Giants have possession.
Nuts! Giants are up 10-7, but the Cowboys are at least keeping the Giants from getting another TD.
Update: Giants got another FG; they’re ahead 13-7 (2nd quarter now).
Cowboys scored a TD on 3rd down at the Giants’ 1-yd line; got the extra point, lead 14-13 (9 minutes to go in 1st half).
Giants have possession on their own 41-yd line (three and a half minutes left in the 1st half)
Two minute warning in the first half; Giants only gained five yards on their drive, and will have to punt.
giants need to win this or rodan is gonna be a grump
Well, right now, the Giants are ahead 20-17; they got a TD on an interception, and the Cowboys on the next drive got a FG.
Correction, Giants got possession on an interception, then drove to the end zone for a TD. My mistake.
it will be interesting to see how the giants do this season now that the problems with plexico arent around the clubhouse,
’cause he’s in da big howse!
i crack myself up!
re: #138 by coldwarrior
I have a hard time believing this Plaxico guy’s talent could’ve possibly been worth the migraines he caused the Giants.
2nd half is now under way, and the Giants are in Cowboys territory.
Giants are inside the red zone, at the Cowboys’ 11-yd line
Giants missed a 29-yd FG attempt after not getting beyond the Cowboys’ 11-yd line; Giants still lead 20-17
re: #139 by Morgan
he has talent…he’s just a problem child.
that’s why the rooney’s got rid of him…he was a horrible fit in the steeler’s organization
Cowboys are on the Giants’ 3-yd line; 2nd down and goal
Tony Romo ran 3 yds, for a TD; extra point is good, and the Cowboys now lead 24-20 (3:32 to go in 3rd quarter)
Great call by Jason Garret.
Giants are back in the lead with another TD, 27-24 early in the 4th quarter
Good catch by Manningham of the Giants just now; they’re in Cowboys territory again
Giants had to settle for another FG, up 30-24; Cowboys are now on the Giants’ 7-yd line
Woo-hoo! Cowboys tie it up again with a TD! They got the extra point and now lead 31-30 (3:40 to go in the game)
Nice drive by Dallas. Another great game so far.
Getting real close; less than a minute to go and the Giants are 40 yds. away
Giants are gambling on a FG attempt with 4 seconds to go
Cowboys called timeout!
Giants won on the FG attempt, 33-31. Exciting game overall; too bad the Cowboys couldn’t win it.
