Big Surprises from week 1:

Bears
Steelers
Bengals
Bills
Cam Newton

Biggest surprise for me. I thought he was going to struggle epicly this season. It's still only one game, but what a game it was.

Beason done for the year. If there was any hope for the Panthers doing anything this season, that's gone now.

I think it's Cam's performance means a few things:

He's an accurate passer
Cardinal's Pass rush / coverage is BAD

I'm not THAT surprised at Cam Newton. I mean, sure, I never would've expect over 400 yards, but I figured he'd be good. The biggest surprise to me was the Bills absolutely demolishing a team that made the playoffs last year. And the Chiefs didn't really get worse, which means they're still an alright team. But the Bills just manhandled them.

The Bills game was a huge surprise to me also. Fred Jackson looks really solid behind that line. The Bills seem to run into problems at qb at times, so i'll be checking them out on direct tv to see what becomes of them. I'm sure alot of longtime fans were pretty happy with their performance.

Cam Newton to me had all the potential to be offensive rookie of the year and i even stated that earlier on in the thread. If that offensive line can keep him on his feet hes gonna be good in the pocket, outside the pocket hes a total gamebreaker in the open field.

Thought my fantasy football outlook for one of the teams was looking bleak (WHY didn't I start Mike Tolbert?! Almost 30 points!) And also San Francisco's defense could have gotten me 24 points...whereas I got only 5.

But I still seem to have won both of my matchups.

5 2nd half possessions
5 2nd half touchdowns

My Bills are working it.

C'mon Vick

That was one hell of a game. The eagles line looked fantastic.

YorkeDaddy · 09-19-2011, 09:03 AM

If Vick is hurt for an extended period of time, I'm screwed from a fantasy standpoint. And the Eagles are screwed too.

Vick will be back soon but will get hurt again no doubt. Funny thing is their 3rd string Q.B. looked fantastic the short while he was in. My Cowboys should look into aquiring him.
