WEEK 2 NFL Schedule Breakdown......Can the EAGLES and VICK beat the FALCONS in A T L?......Bears at WHO DAT?......SD at PATS....NFL WEEK 2

The NFL Schedule is in full tilt and already we have some teams with their BACKS against the WALL and not in must-WIN Situations.....but Close to.

Very good match ups again this week as any week on SUNDAYS........BEARS @ the BIG EASY.......EAGLES @ WHO DAT?.......BOLTS @ PATS. The parity is everywhere in the LEAGUE and the WORDS On ANY GIVEN SUNDAY really hold the truth throughout on SUNDAYS.

Without further a due let's get to WEEK 2 NFL GAMES.....a full slate into one SUNDAY NIGHT TILT and ONE MONDAY NIGHT TILT.....the GAMES please:

All GAMES are EASTERN Standard Time

SUNDAY September 18, 2011
1PM ET

1. RAIDERS @ BISON CITY: This Game last year would have been the last game anyone would've watched. FF to September 2011 both TEAMS coming of WINS and ROAD WINS at that.

The RAIDERS are once again using that Beast of a TAILBACK in RB Darren McFADDEN of AR KANSAS. Then they have mixed in a steady Passing game with QB Jason CAMPBELL to give the SILVER&BLACK a more balanced attack. The RAIDERS on D are led by DT Richard SEYMOUR and MLB Rolando McCLAIN of Decatur ALABAMA by way of TUSCALOOSA ROLL TIDE. This unit has been impressive and thy are very fast.

The BILLS have a Plethora of RBs in Jackson and CJ SPILLER. The QB FITZPATRICK showed every one in KC that an IVE LEAGUE QB can play at a High Level once given the chance. They also use the Running game to set up going down field to the likes of STEVIE JOHNSON.

WINNER: BILLS 24-20

2. PACKERS @ PANTHERS: The PACK is riding high having not played in about 10 days. The GIVENS QB Aaron RODGERS and that WR Corps. The Concern......the PACK Defense was also shredded by the SAINTS and in order to keep Opposing Teams from jumping on you to the point you can't get up.....the PACK needs to shore up that D before moving forward.

The PANTHERS and Rookie QB Cam NEWTON threw for over 400 yards an that won't be happening again any time soon. And for The PACK there is no other time than now to jump all over the an Opposing Offense.

The PANTHERS also get Bad NEWS this past week. Starting MLB and the heart and soul of the PANTHERS Jon BEASON will be missed. The PANTHERS D needs a YEOMANS effort Sunday

WINNER: PACKERS going away 34 - 21

3. CHIEFS @ MOTOR CITY...the D: Right now the CHIEFS need a starting Strong Safety and the LIONS will be bringing JAHVID, MEGATRON, JUMBOTRON, and STAFF. Advantage LIONS simply because they can score an their new Defense is nothing but spectacular so far.

The CHIEFS need to get back to RBs CHARLES and Thomas JONES on order to keep the LIONS O off the field. And will WR DeWayne BOWE get in on the act as well?

WINNER: LIONS 34-10

4. BROWNS @ INDY: Both teams lost last week and now each Team is trying to put one in the Left Column. COLTS don't have PEYTON MANNING so BOYS no one will feel sorry for you at this point.

BROWNS need more out of RUNNING GAME and QB McCOY needs to go down field more often. BOTH TEAMS are in a Mood that should put one in the RIGHT COLUMN. These 2 teams are wounded and the TEAM that makes enough plays in all 3 phases...WINS
WINNER: COLTS 24-14

5. BUCCANEERS @ VIKES: Can anyone tell me what in MALL of AMERICA is going on with QB Donovan McNABB. His body language is telling me he is DONE with football. If that's the CASE......McNABB-STEWR (Stealing MONEY from the VIKES) should be put on the shelf and let the ROOKIE QB Christian PONDER get a RIP. The VIKES have 2 options on OFFENSE......ALL DAY and PERCYLAND.

The BUCS on the other hand got a dose of reality playing the NEEW Motor CITY LIONS and their vastly improved Defense. BUCS QB Josh FREEMAN needs a RB Game behind him or they will just start sitting back in COVER 2 and 3 and force the BUCS to run the ball. RB LaGarrett BLOUNT has to ante up and get back on Last Years pace. He is no longer a Surprise and he must give the BUCS something on the GROUND.

WINNER: BUCS 31-13 the BUCS need a game like this on the SCHEDULE and VIKES QB McNABB should help them

6. BEARS @ the BIG EASY: This might be the GAME of the WEEK. 2 things stick out in this one......BEARS D vs the SAINTS and QB Drew BREES and the Offense. And #2.......can the SAINTS D STOP the Mad SCIENTIST Bears Offensive Coordinator Mike MARTZ and QB Jay CUTLER.

The BEARS come in off of a very good win at home vs the Overrated FALCONS and not taking anything away from the BEARS. They played well on OFFENSE and the D looks even better than last season.

The SAINTS will have a disappointing year if the CAN'T STOP ANYONE on DEFENSE CONTINUES........Defensive Coordinator Greg ROBINSON has to have a bend but don't break approach or they will continue to lose GAMES. This is not College Football where you can average 40 plus and give up 35 plus....NOT on SUNDAYS.

WINNER: BEARS 35-31....QB Jay CUTLER surprisingly out duels QB BREES

7. JAGS @ NY JETS: The JETS got away with one last week vs a game Dallas COWBOYS Team. Now what do they do with the GIFT....DO they come out this week and make the JAGS One-Dimensional with JONES-DREW or Do they play 2 1/2 Quarters of lack luster football and then reach for the LIGHT.

The JAGS have JONES-DREW at RB and JONES-DREW in the Passing Game. Even bigger NEWS is Pro BOWL TE Mercedes LEWIS is Doubtful and the JETS will be making the Luke McCOWN Show You have to beat us because Jones-DREW won't EDITION. The JAGS much-improved D will keep them into a lot of BALL GAMES.

The JETS need to establish the running game and SANCHEZ needs to start throwing more to SAntonio HOLMES and quit worrying about PLAX.......he will not have his timing anytime soon. The JETS D will keep the JETS O in this one and JETS QB Sanchez and the Crew just have to put some quality drives together to get the W.

Winner: JETS 20-6 NO WAY do the JAGS beat them at MET LIFE GREEN

8. SEHAWKS @ the 'BURGH: A wounded STEELERS Team that got a dose of reality last week. If you keep choppin' it up on TWITTER and through the PRESS sooner or later someone will have to pay. And last week the STEELERS were the one that were told to take off your jerseys and jump into the CHESAPEAKE BAY.

Having said that....the STEELERS get a WEEK 1 wake-up call instead a Late November Early December call that can't be corrected. LeBEAU and TOMLIN are way too experienced and FOOTBALL Intelligent to let that RAVENS FIASCO happen again. All STEELERS Phases will be ready for this one.

AS for the HAWKS.......after losing the way they did at the GOLD RUSH last week....the HAWKS have to come cross country to meet a veteran group coming off of a BEAT DOWN. HAWKS QB Tavaris JACKSON and RB Marshawn LYNCH.......GOOD LUCK in this one.

WINNER: STEELERS 38-10 As BIG BEN and the O get back in sync as well as the D

9. RAVENS @ TITANS: The good thing is that the TITANS have CJ28. The BAD thing is that he is no even close to being ready to take on a D like the RAVENS. QB Matt HASSELBACK looks like the wheels are about to come off and the RAVENS D will make HASSELBACK beat them.

The RAVENS on the other hand just ned to stay the course and capitalize off of what they did last week and try to duplicate the dominance. These 6 Ravens are essential every week.....FLACCO, RICE, NGATA, LEWIS, REED, and SUGGS....Team FOLLOWMYLEAD.....and we will TEAM FOLLOWTHELEFTCOLUMN as in a W.

WINNER: RAVENS 42-13...they showing the rest of the AFC that it comes through the Big CRAB CAKE

10. CARDS @ REDSKINS: Interesting tilt right here......both coming of of Home WINS and now what does KOLB and GROSSMAN do for an ENCORE.

THE Cards got a good game from RB Beanie WELLS and if he can match the CARDS Passing game.....lookout. The thing I worry about is that the CARDS D let a ROOKIE QB light them up for 400 Passing yards....NOT GOOD. And you know 'SKINS Head man Mike SHANAHAN has GROSSMAN and the 'SKINS Offense licking their chops.

The 'SKINS need to stay focused and bring the same intensity they had in last week's GIANTS Tilt to this weeks CARDS Game. The Running Game has to compliment the passing game and SHANAHAN knows this and will have his team ready.

NOTE: 'SKINS OLB ORAKPO and SS Laron LANDRY Game-Time Decisions
WINNER: 'SKINS 27-24

415 ET

11. COWBOYS @ NINERS: We will see right away if the Bad Decisions of QB ROMO carry over in this one. The 'BOYS need a shot in the ARM and the NINERS even though they are coming off of a WIN still have QB Alex SMITH back there.

The COWBOYS need to get AUSTIN and BRYANT rolling in the Passing Game and get Felix JONES outside to get that running game going. The 'BOYS D played well last week especially the SECONDARY. If they can play D like last week...the 'BOYS will be alright.

The NINERS used the Kicking Game to jump start them in last week's game and they need to make plays in all facets to off set QB Alex SMITH'S Shortcomings. Look for the NINERS to try to get RB Frank GORE rolling downhill and make the COWBOYS adjust to them first. The NINERS D, led by All-World LB and OLE MISS ALUM Patrick WILLIS, to keep the COWBOYS in 3rd and Long All Day.

WINNER: COWBOYS 27-17...don't trust NINERS QB SMITH.

NOTE: Did you know Alex SMITH was the QB at SAN Diego HELIX HS and his RB was Reggie BUSH. BUSH went on to USC and SMITH went to play for Urban MEYER and the UTES.

12. BENGALS @ BRONCOS: Surprisingly if you would have told me that one teeam will come into this game having WON in Week 1 I would've told you the BRONCOS. Well the BENGALS are the TEAM that comes in 1-0 and RB Cedric BENSON will be their meal ticket and QB Andy DALTON'S best friend.

The BENGALS did last week vs the BROWNS by making timely plays when they needed to. BENSON is the key and if he gets a 100 weekly or close the BENGALS will be in most game.

The BRONCOS on the other hand look to be a SHELL of themselves. They looked lackluster in their loss to the RAIDERS as they looked like they couldn't match the intensity of the SILVER & BLACK. Broncos need to get WRs LLoyd and ROYAL going and then have RB Knowshon MORENO running in space...be creative with him.....a somewhat unorthodox elusive RB he is.

WINNER: BRONCOS 20-16 the DEFENSES rise up in this one

13. TEXANS @ DOLPHINS: The TEXANS have QB Schaub, RB TATE, maybe RB FOSTER, WR JOHNSON, WR, JONES, and TE Owen DANIELS...the DOLPHINS have nothing close to that on OFFENSE but maybe WR Brandon MARSHALL and RB Reggie BUSH. Having said all of that the FINS from a Match Up standpoint look over matched in this one.

Look....if the FINS pull that DUMB**** they pulled in week 1...like throwing to WR Brain HARTLINE in 4th and goal they need to join the BIG EAST after the GAME.....REAL TALK. They will have no shot with SPORANO tyring to find what works vs the loaded TEXANS.

WINNER: 34-21 TEXANS runaway with this one

14. DIEGO @ PATS: the Potential to also be the GAME of the WEEK. The BOLTS know this is who you measure up to and who you will have to go through eventually to get out of the AFC.

The BOLTS have enough FIREPOWER to play the PATS tick for tack....but will they raise up to do so. The BOLTS have a problem of coming out flat not SERIES by SERIES but GAME to GAME. A heavy dose of RIVERS to either GATES or JACKSON should be the recipe for success in this one.

The PATS know what they are doing and the 8 Tight Ends on the ROSTER tells teams one thing.....DOUBLE TIGHTS and we are going to throw to them all day...can you stop it. AS for the OCHOCINCO tweeting the S*** about the PATS and BRADY......WHO CARES?...only ESPN and the PATRIOT WAY Followers.......CHAD keep doing tweeting......your a GROWN A** MAN......F*** the PATS

NOTE: Who is Ted BRUSCHI to tell CHAD what he should be doing.......this country needs a HERO and no more ex PATS on the D*** TV........The BLUEDUDE and yeah I went there...this is my BLOG not yours

820ET

15. EAGLES @ FALCONS: When the schedule came out you knew NBC was going to move this one into SUNDAY NIGHT Prime Time. You know the Story lines in this one but an even BIGGER Story Line is.......WHAT IF.....the Dirty Birds starts this season 0-2? Forget VICK is back in town...the FALCONS need to handle BIZ and FAST.

The EAGLES are FAST and now you have them on that indoor surface gain.......that's like giving Jamaican Sprinter Usain BOLT a 10 yard head start in the 200M........NO CHANCE of catching him. The EAGLES have weapons all over but their key is RB LeSean McCOY and if he continues to torch teams in the facet.....the EAGLES will be difficult to beat.

The FALCONS have to start going DEEP down field T.I. STYLE.......ASAP ASAP. If they think RB Micheal TURNER is the ANSWER to their Offensive woes.......they will be 0-2 and staring at the Division to get in and no shot at the WILD CARD. The FALCONS SECONDARY is definitely the weak link and the EAGLES and Offensive Coordinator Marty MORNHINWEG know this MAN. So look for VICK if he gets time to incorporate WR Jeremy MACLIN more into the passing game and the FALCONS will be on Red Alert early.

WINNER: EAGLES 38-31 in a shootout...the only good thing is that the NFC SOUTH after week 2...the BUCS, FALCONS, and SAINTS could all be 0-2

September 19, 2011
830ET

16. RAMS @ GIANTS: Real QUICK.......G-MEN......QB Sam BRADFORD will go down field all day if you let him.....get your PASS RUCH ready and be on high alert.

The RAMS and GIANTS both need this one and who wants it more. ELI needs to get the WRs on the same page and the D needs to step up and make BIG PLAYS all over. Thunder and LIGHTNING last week looked like OVERCAST and DRIZZLE vs the 'SKINS last week.

The RAMS are talented and they are taking on the persona of their COACH SPAGNUOLA. This is a Tough Match Up for them especially coming off a HOME Opening loss to the EAGLES. Can that young RAMS D led by LAURINITIS and LONG keep the RAMS in this one long enough where BRADFORD can pull a rabbit out of his hat?.......We will see.

WINNER: RAMS 24-17....QB BRADFORD arrives on the national scene
