Week 1 AFC/NFC Recap
Greg Reedy
NFC Correspondent/Fantasy Football Analyst
Week 1 was certainly an interesting week overall. As of Sunday night, 8 of the 13 road teams won. In the NFC, the three games I picked mostly had some pitiful performance but some surprise entertainment.
Atlanta vs. Carolina – Fantasy owners who drafted Steve Smith shrieked when it was announced he wasn’t playing. So did the Carolina players. Without Smith, Carolina’s offense didn’t show up and Jake Delhomme looked hungover from watching too much NASCAR last night. Mike Vick still didn’t complete 50 percent of his passes but he didn’t have to. A pretty blah game as Atlanta wins 20-6. By the way I did pick Carolina to win easily. Smart move, Reedman.
Seattle vs. Detroit – Well, I said this game wouldn’t be so good. And I was right. It looks like Ford Field has some hex on the Seatlle offense. In the last 2 games, the Seahawks have scored one touchdown. This looks the soccer game of the year. Detroit decided to wear those black uniforms that make no sense. Seattle got lucky, Detroit will drown their sorrows with alcohol. At least wear clothes this time. Seattle 9, Detroit 6
San Fran vs. Arizona – A surprisingly entertaining game. It looks neither team will play much defense this season. Arizona won in the dome and the 49ers still look they will win about five games. Arizona 34, San Fran 27
Also, it looks my fantasy team will suffer a defeat this week. Not a great start to the season.

SportsIllusionrated's Second Coming vs. Marv Levy's Wife - Let the records show that New England won this game with safety. 2 points. More rare and less points than a field goal, but still nonetheless awesome if it's in the middle of a game. Watching Buffalo blow their lead and watching J.P. Loserman getting dropped like pennies off a skyscraper in the end zone further adds my discontempt at the Buffalo Bungels. SportsIllusionrated just named that the greatest safety in the history of all sports. New England 19, Buffalo 17
Token America's Team vs. Meat Packers Union #417 - The former not describing the managerial decisions of Matt Millen, the 1990s Dallas Cowboys, or Ricky Williams. A team that survived a disaster met one today in Cleveland, and after the first half you would expect maybe an all-expenses paid trip to the end zone for one team. That happened, fortunately, with two Cleveland TDs in the second half but a TD and FG from New Orleans. You see Cleveland, football is played in two halfs. Both Brees and Frye had almost-equal numbers. The sad part? Frye had more yards rushing than Rueben Droughns, 44 to 27 respectively. New Orleans 19, Cleveland 14
The Healthy Jets vs. The Slightly Used But With Great Mileage Titans - Kerry Collins was best off hitting the bottle than hitting receivers this week. Chad Pennington was not injured, however former Jets coach and current Chiefs coach Herm Edwards watched Trent Green get reduced to lime jello during their game, leading to possible speculation of a QB curse. Pennington went 24/39 for 219 yards and 2 TDs, while Kerry Collins went to the bathroom going 17/38 for 223 yards and 2 INTs. Tennessee's running game however did pick up 2 TDs, though they wish they could fire up the Dolerean and forget passing was ever invented in football today. NJ Jets 23, Tennessee 16
Quarterbacks that probably F*ed up your fantasy team this week:
1) Make Phil proud and go back to broadcasting school, Chris Simms: 17/29, 133 yards, 3 INTs
2) This week's sign that Brett Favre needs to retire: 15/29, 170 yards, 2 INTs
3) Trent Green, while living: 11/15, 90 yards, 1 INT. Trent Green as oatmeal: N/A
4) Either QB (Mike Saddlebag or John "The Backup" Kitna) in the Seattle/Detroit game
