The Opening Drive: Week 2, 2011

Week one was insanely awesome. Can week two of the NFL season follow it up? We’ve got a shoot-out preparing in New England and Michael Vick night on Sunday Night Football. What else could you need? Here are some of the games to watch for in week two.

Here’s a legitimate chance for the Lions to get to 2-0 and obliterate a 2010 division winner in the process. Without safety Eric Berry, the Chiefs are ripe for the picking for Matthew Stafford. This might not even be close.

Donovan McNabb should probably try throwing for more than 39 yards this time around. Probably a good idea. He has to win to avoid being kicked around for another week.

I have NO idea what to expect from these teams, except low scores. And Peyton Hillis. Though Kerry Collins should play far better than he did in week one, the rest of his team needs to step the eff up.

Another test for Sexy Rexy. If he avoids picking on Patrick Peterson, Grossman might actually have another solid outing. If that happens, it could turn into Bizarro world…

These Panthers are in trouble. Last week was a fun start, but they’re going to be in deep sh*t against the world champs this week. Cam Newton is going to be confused as all get-out by Dom Capers’ defense. No 400+ yards passing this week!

I am SO ready for this game. If only for the fact that it should be a score-fest, with the douche Philip Rivers on the losing end. Wait, am I rooting for Tom Brady again? DAMMIT!

This Sunday-nighter will have way too much drama for two players that won’t face each other on the field AT ALL. It’s close to a must-win for Atlanta, but the rest of the NFC South is in a 0-1 hole too, so they won’t fall behind far if they lose. Eagles are probably getting to 2-0.

Delight in the wonder of week two. Yeah football!
