LONG OVERDUE

Slackin' on my mackin!... It's your girl Sportsgal89 in the Building! What up?!
So I know that I should probably talk about Week 1 and the first Season game between the Vikings and the Saints, but it was actually uneventful. I wasn't at all impressed with the first game. I mean the Saints won! Duh. It seemed like the Vikings didn't even put up a fight and the game just ended up being one-sided aka BOR-ING!! [yawn]...
Week 2 what even happened in week 2.. Geez it must not have been that good. Ha!
Oh yeah, the only thing that was eventful was Manning Bowl and Older Manning took that one. I am not even sure what happened to the Giants, it was just brutal. Oh but I guess I can give some props to the Monday Night Showdown of between the Saints and Niners. I am not a Niner fan, I will never root for the Niners, but I have to say that they are improving each game and each year. Although they have still yet to win, they are on their way to be a force on both sides of the ball. But at the end of the day it's really not about how you play, it's whether you win.

Now on to Week 3.. Most of my picks for Week 3 did me DIRTY.. Not even kidding, Denver was the big disappointment against the Colts, I needed that win and they just blew it!
For me not a surprise: Michael Vick showing Philly, his head coach and the league not to sleep on him. He was amazing 291 yards, 3 TD, one his own. I mean it was a good game! Playing Jacksonville, in Jacksonville and went to work final score 28-3..

Finally I have my honorable mention: These seasons "Hardknocks" the J-E-T-S JETS, JETS, JETS.. After losing the first Monday Night game against the Ravens, people were wondering if the Jets let the fame of an HBO special go to their heads. But the boys in Green and White Managed to pull a win off against the New England Patriots and Brady's 248 yards to bring their stat to 1-1. Week 3 in what I think was a frustrating game by the 4th Quarter, the Jets managed to pull yet another one off against Miami.
But the team I want to talk about is of course my favorite team of the league: THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS. With a juggling of the QB position with Ben's 6 game suspension many people were speculating on our ability to actually win some games. Byron Leftwich was cut from the team before the start of regular season. And Dennis Dixon was named starting QB in Roethlisberger's absence. However, Dixon was injured with a knee injury during the game against the Tenessee Titans during Week 3. Where to go now? Leftwich although signed was injured himself, Dixon is now out.. THANK THE LORD for CHARLIE BATCH!!! Week 3 starts and still people (ESPN Commentators) wondering what is going to happen to the team from the Steel City! Well my boys to not fail to disappoint! Charlie Batch as starter and the Steelers stuffed the Tampa Bay Bucs to hold on to an undefeated title of 3-0.
