WEEK TWO: Tennessee @ San Diego

Another stellar week from the Chargers from SD. It's almost pointless to write about this victory, as it is OBVIOUS to all that San Diego dominated the Titans. It appears to me that San Diego might just be the best team in the NFL. Not because of these past two weeks, because those were two VERY subpar teams, but because this team is proving to have the finishing tools its lacked to win in the past few years. They've been close to awesome before, and have made the necessary tweaks to make them a top contender in the NFL week in and week out. This team suffocated the Titans again on Defense and proved that their team goes far beyond the solid play of Gates and Tomlinson. They allowed just one major score in this game, and it came late enough in the game that noone cared. Tomlinson was barely required to finish a half in this game, as the San Diego offense had by halftime already put the game far out of reach for the Titans. It was nice to see Vince Young this game, but really, does he look like the future of the Titans? Not to me he doesn't. You'll see the Titans kicking themselves in three years when Young is a floundering third string QB, and Matt Leinart is a Pro-Bowl selection with the Cards. Lucky for Leinart he ended up in Arizona. Sucky for the 13 teams that skipped him in the first round of the draft. Unfortunatley for Chargers fans, this is a bye week this week, so we'll be forced to watch more uninteresting games this coming week, but look out in week 4 when the Chargers lay the boots to the Ravens.



The boys on MNF tonight did their top five teams in the NFL after two weeks. Their picks suck, but I'll add my not-so-listened to opinion to the list, and I'll offer better explanations to the list than any of those honky's did. Here's the list:

5. Chicago Bears
The Bears are coming off a season where they posted an 11-5 record. They dominated teams last year with their suffocating defense. Undoubtedly around the league they are one of the most respected defenses. Dudes in fantasy football leagues everywhere picked them early in drafts because they have played with such dominance. HOWEVER, contrary to the opinion of several "professional" NFL analysts, I don't think that a good defense can soley win a championship. But, this Bears team has alot more than a solid defense. They have solved the quarterback controversy they had last year, and Rx has proven to be a top passer in the league so far. He has connected well with his veteran receiver core, and proven to provide a decent offense to compliment their suffocating defense. Look out for this team this year.

4. Cincinatti Bengals
With a dominant offense and an up and coming defense the Bengals poise a threat to the top teams in the AFC to push for a championship. Carson Palmer looks like he's back in game shape, with the potential to only get better. Rudi Johnson has dominated out of the backfield, and the combo of Houshamazilly and CJ at WR will ridicule secondary's all year.

3. Atlanta Falcons
Micheal Vick has alot of things to prove to his critics, but so far this year he's done it. Vick and Dunn combined to break a record this past week, by being the 5th QB/RB duo to both run for 100 yards in a single game. Although this record doesn't come as a surprise to many people, the combination of the top running game in the league and a solid beefed up defensive unit, this team could do alot of damage out of the NFC. They've already beaten two of the top teams in their division, and are poised for a third win when they go into New Orleans next week. With solid play from Vick, and a year where they can avoid the injury bug, and this team will win the NFC South, and compete for the NFC championship.

2. San Diego Chargers
Single handedly the greatest team in the NFL. Ok, maybe not, but this is a team that has made significant upgrades on D this year, with the additions of Pro Bowl safety Marlon McCree at strong safety, and a solid draft at corner, when they picked up Antonio Cromartie. Along with some of the top offensive players in the league, including Tomlinson and Gates, the only question mark on this team remains at QB, where they have the green Phillip Rivers. HOWEVER, what most people forget about Rivers is that he broke the passing yards record in the NCAA in his four years there, and was picked 4th overall in a draft where 4 QB's were taken in the first round, (including someone by the name of Eli Manning, you may have heard of him). This team is poised for success, and could do what the Steelers of '05 did when they went 15-1. Watch out for the Chargers!

1. Indianapolis Colts
The Colts came very close to a perfect season last year, and with all the hype that goes into the NFL during pre-season, it's easy to forget how good the Colts are. Sure, they play in an easy division with the Jaguars, Texans and Titans, but this team is for real. They have the number one offense in the league behind Peyton Manning, and one of the more solid defensive units in the league. They have lost Edge in the offseason, but it will just be a matter of time before Dungy turns Addai into a back just like Edge. It's impossible for a back to be in the same backfield as Manning and not turn into a stud. My prediction is that the Colts will post the top record in the AFC, but again will choke in the playoffs. But this being the top teams after two weeks, I've gotta put the Colts on top.


Leafs SUCK.

And Henderson, why don't you post some replies. I'm tired of antagonizing you to no end.
