Week 1 Recap

11-5 last week, 11-5 on the season.

I'm surprised by: Houston, Brett Favre, Eli Manning.
I'm not surprised by: Peyton Manning.

Brett Favre played with a hell of a lot of heart and intensity Sunday, as he always has. Trademark shovel passes as he's being sacked without resorting to GUNSLINGIN' means a nice win for the Packers. Truthfully, I like Favre and would like to see him go out on a 10-6 season. Along the way he will break the NFL records for career TDs and INTs. Bank on it.

Eli looks like he might be coming into his own, pulling his head out and playing ball. We should see some great performances from him in the coming weeks. Oh wait, his shoulder got separated. Shit.

Houston. Matt Schaub finally gets a chance at starting and does pretty fuckin' well. Granted, it was against Kansas City, but still. These guys might go 9-7 and be a quasi AFC South contender for 3rd place.
