NFL Week 3 Look Around

Players to Watch
It's early in the NFL season and by no means can you identify legit playoff teams in week three but you can start to see if certain teams will start putting it together and others continue to be in self destruct mode. Week three can also give you an idea about what direction some of the leagues premier impact players are heading in. Can Peyton bounce back from that three interception performance last week against a very good Houston defense? Will Micheal Vick continue to toss the ball to opposing teams DB's like he's conducting a high school secondary drill? I heard the Ravens defense yell "Pass! Ball! Oskie! every time Vick dropped back last week. (The Eagles however are 2-0 despite a league high 9 turnovers). Will Tony Romo ever play like the QB that he is hyped up to be? Will Chicago's offensive line even attempt to block for Jay Cutler this week? I personally love seeing Cutler get knocked around like Sean Austin in "Rudy" and act like its someone else's fault that he threw the ball to Green Bay all night. Nothing personal to Bears fans, for me it's a dislike of Cutler. And Vanderbilt. And can Chris Johnson, aka CJ, aka CJ2K, aka Lighting, aka.... he has more nicknames than rushing yards heading into week three get on track. He set the bar high before the season when he said he wanted to rush for 2000 yards again. Titans fans would settle for a 100 yard game. And that is just a few players who are searching for some success.

Marquee Match-Ups
Not a big week for big games but here a few that should make your football Sunday enjoyable.

Chicago - St. Louis
Maybe not a big time game but watching Cutler get jacked up repeatedly should make any fan feel good. Unless your a Bears or Vandy fan. Cutler is the only thing Vandy fans have to be proud of. Which should tell you about Vandy fans,

Cincinnati - Washington
RGIII is fun to watch. The Redskins may be a team to watch in the NFC and the Bengals have Andy Dalton and AJ Green who are good for at least one or two phenomenal plays a game.

Houston - Denver
Peyton can prove that he is really "back" with a win against one of the best, if not the best team in the AFC. The Texans have an outstanding defense and an offense that has several fantasy league stars.

New England - Baltimore
The Patriots are coming off a bad loss a week ago and history tells us they will bounce back with a vengeance. But the Ravens are also coming off a tough loss and history also suggest the Dirty Birds will show up with there A game. I think this is the best game of the week and should be fun to watch.

Keep an Eye On
The officials. The league actually fined two coaches this past week for telling the refs in a stern voice and using "inappropriate language" that the were terrible, when in fact they are terrible. This is a big boy league and Rodger Goodell is making players and coaches look like pansies
