Youth Bengals Jersey, Nine seconds into their National Football League season, the Cleveland Browns were destined for the Super Bowl.
Their first play from scrimmage was Youth Bengals Jersey a 74-yard touchdown from Charlie Frye to Braylon Edwards. That was it. Frye was the right guy Youth Bengals Jersey for the job! Edwards was back! The Dawg Pound was going berserk! The Cleveland Curse was exorcised! There would be peace in the Middle East! Global warming would be no more!
But there was a flag on the play. Holding on Kevin Shaffer. Ten-yard penalty, replay first down.
The Browns wouldn\'t manage a first down until just before halftime. They ended up playing amazingly sloppy and uninspired ball while losing at home to a team that, well, isn\'t very good.
That pretty much sums up Week 1 for half of the teams in the NFL. They came in with incredible expectations and anticipations, but when they woke up this morning they had to try to get the taste of Defeat out of their mouths while they started planning for next year.
On the other hand, there are now 16 legitimate Super Bowl threats that are basking in the warm glow of Perfection.
My obvious exaggeration here is serving an important fact about the NFL after week one - teams aren\'t as bad as they looked in their first game, and teams aren\'t as good as they looked in their first game. Keep that in mind when you make your wagers this week. Remember that sharp bettors know when to go against the general public, which is just about always.
Here are the rest of my nonsensical ravings on Week 1:
- I\'m going to try to cover a lot here because when Trent Green wakes up in a couple of weeks he\'s going to want to know what was going down in the NFL in week one.
- I\'m not going to sit here and say that I wasn\'t drinking the Carolina Kool-Aid through the offseason. They still have one of the top teams in the NFC. However, the two weaknesses that I pointed out in the preseason - the offensive line and the linebackers - were both exploited on Sunday.
Carolina rushed for just 65 yards on 16 carries, and Jake Delhomme was running for his life most of the day. Also, Dan Morgan suffered his 1,168,377th concussion and Atlanta ran roughshod for 250 yards on the ground.
- As usual, the defenses are way ahead of Youth Bengals Jersey the offenses in the opening week. The result was the Under going 11-5 in week one. Oddsmakers have already started adjusting totals for week two, as only six lines have been posted over 40 points.
- I found it interesting that Peyton Manning was such a crybaby in those home videos of him playing flag football. That\'s it. Just found it interesting. Draw your own conclusions.
- If Ron Mexico goes 10-for-22 and Atlanta loses, people are all over him. He goes 10-for-22 and the Falcons win and he, in the words of Chris Collinsworth, \"took the game on his shoulders.\" No, actually that would be the offensive line, defensive line and Warrick Dunn.
