WOW. What an exciting week of football.
The JETS beat the Patriots and improve to 2-0. The Jets look like the team to beat this year. And the Ravens, now an offensive force apparently, put the hurt on San Diego. I say good riddance too, I'm not a San Diego fan.
How about that NFC North too. I have to imagine if you are a Packers fan you are getting a little worried now. This Packers Offense and Aaron Rodgers are still shaky. Will the Pack suffer the same problems they did last season and be unable to close down victories? And how about them Lions! They looked pretty good today. They look like they will win a few games this year. And the Vikings look like the #1 threat in the NFC North right now. Adrian Peterson is a BEAST! And when you have a veteran like Favre managing an offense with a weapon like Peterson...well...
Personally, I'm more worried about the Bears playing Peterson and the Vikings than I was seeing the Bears play the Steelers.
Which brings me to Chicago. Cutler calmed down as expected. He looked like he did during preseason and the 4th quarter of last week. And Johnny Knox is shaping out to be one hell of a player. Greg Olsen, Johnny Knox and Devin Hester....and you people said Cutler would have no one to throw the ball to (actually, I said that
). The Bears have a beastly front four too. And it appears Urlacher's absence isn't going to be a defensive deal breaker. Of course I'm still cautious, we will see how Chicago does in the next 5 or 6 games....
I'm really more interested in Green Bay's drama right now and Minnesota's success.
But Kyle Orton and the Broncos look like they did good today. I wish Orton the best. Right now it appears Cutler does a few things that puts him above Orton but I maintain that Orton was a hardworking, smart and mature player. That said, I look forward to seeing how Cutler plays the rest of the season...the Bears won today with the pass game, which is always exciting in Chicago when we depend on the run so much.
