We are one month into the season, and every team has played at least four games. Now that we have a decent feel for what these teams are, let's look back at who we look to be right/wrong about....
I was wrong about...
-The Giants. This looked like a very mediocre team to me, and combined with the early season meltdowns of guys like Brandon Jacobs and Kareem McKenzie, along with Antrelle Rolle throwing Tom Coughlin under the bus before the name plate on his locker was even installed, it looked to be a long year. Last week, they nearly murder Jay Cutler, and this week, they completely destroy and dismantle what looked to be a pretty good Texans team. The pass rush looks unstoppable, and Eli is on fire. Coughlin is easily the most underated HC in the game, and he managed to right the ship.
-The Jets. I thought this team was incredibly overhyped to start the year. I couldnt see them going anywhere with Mark Sanchez and that bland offensive gameplan, but Sanchez has really improved drastically from last season.
I was right about...
-The Cardinals. Yeah , they're 3-2, and in first place, but they stink. All three wins have been with smoke & mirrors, including the Max Hall debacle yesterday where every single bounce went their way. Hall managed to fumble forward twice, once resulting in a TD, and another resulting in a huge first down. The inept Saints kicking game saw 96 year old John Carney miss a 27 yard FG. The Cardinals also won a game when Sebastian Janikowski did his once yearly miss-a-chip-shot-for-the-win routine. They beat the Rams week one with virtually no offense, taking advantage of a KR TD and a fumble by Rams DT Clifton Ryan who was on his way to a game clinching fumble return TD.
-The Bengals. They look every bit the 7-9 team I thought they would be. The same old undisciplined, underachieving Marvin Lewis-esque team they always are, just with two asshole WR's instead of two. The only thing surprising about the Bengals, is that the two assholes have been oddly quiet.
