great day to be a fan

Week 1 is over, and from my point of view, it couldn't have been better.

- Titans, Patriots, and Giants all won easily.
- Colts, Chargers, Jets, Cowboys, and Eagles all lost.
- Tom Brady looked great, Chris Johnson ran all over the field, and Vince Young had the highest QB rating (raise your hand if you picked that).
- No important players on my teams got hurt.
- I went 12-4 in picking the games, including picking the big upset correctly, Chiefs beat the Chargers in KC, as well as the little upset, Ravens over the Jets.

Week 1 in Review
There were no super heroes injured, so despite some disappointing performances no team's season is over, so fans and teams should not overreact. However, there are some areas of concerns, weaknesses exposed, and holes teams put themselves into.

Bests o' the Week

Players:
Gold Medal: Arian Foster of the Texans, no question. Foster ran for 231 yards and 3 touchdowns as the Texans won a huge game for their franchise over the Colts.

Silver Medal: Matt Hasselback of the Seahawks, who, after his first pass of the game (an interception), compiled a QB rating of 150 en route to a blowout upset over the 49ers.

Bronze Medal: Adrian Wilson of the Arizona Cardinals, who compiled a sack, two interceptions, and blocked a field goal.

Best Team: Patriots

Best Game: Texans over Colts

Highlight: Deon Grant's interception (#10 in that video)

Worsts of the Week

Play: Cowboys call to run a play with 11 seconds left in the first half from their own 30 yard line down 3-0 (result: fumble returned for a touchdown = trailing 10-0

Call: Calvin Johnson's game-winner that wasn't. With 25 seconds left this should have given the Lions the win. Compare this to this catch in the Super Bowl, that REVIEW overturned and called a touchdown.

Coach: Vikings' Brad Childress. Vikings were leading at halftime and only trailed later by 5 points, only called for 6 handoffs to Adrian Peterson (their best player) in the second half of the Viking's loss to the Saints, compared to 13 passing plays for a rusty Brett Favre.

Team: How bad was the Jets offense Monday night? The Jets totaled only 6 first downs, converted only 1 third attempt, and averaged a measly 2.6 yards per pass play (compare that to the Bears' 9.3). They started four drives inside the Ravens' 40 yard line and only mustered 9 points. Defense included, the Jets committed 14 penalties worth 125 yards, 70% of their team's total gain.

Quarter: The Panthers and Giants turned the ball over on six consecutive possessions in the 4th quarter.

Prediction: ever picking the Browns to win.

Stocks are Rising: Patriots, Seahawks, Chiefs

Stocks are Falling: Colts, 49ers, Jets
