My NFL Week 2 Key Matchup
NFL Football is back and I am happier than ever! I am also very glad that I get to do my weekly picks. You know, they give you a bunch of games and you pick who you think is going to win. It is fun but can be frustrating when the "high favorite" loses. So this week I am going to tell you who I think is going to win in a matchup.
Dallas vs. Houston. So this week Romo and the boys are going down to Houston to see if they kick some Texans this week. It is going to be extremely hard for the Boys to beat a team that is 2-0. I am thinking that it is going to be a repeat of that preseason game, where the Texans kicked the boys out of Reliant Stadium. Now Dallas is 2nd in passing yards this year(surprisingly) but they haven't won a game. They Cowboys might have won in Week one, if OL Alex Barron could have kept his hands to himself, and avoided that holding call. Then last week the Boys stayed home to play the Bears. They got runover by the Bears offense, but the Cowboys offense also did a great job at scoring. It just wasn't enough to win the game.
Now I will talk about the Texans. Absolutely great team. The best I have seen them play in years. Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson are at the height of their career. In Week 1 they took on the Colts and kicked the tail off of them. They made Peyton Manning look like a Rookie. I was very impressed with how well the Texans moved the ball. Adrian Foster also looked great with several TD's in that game. Then in Week 2 the Texans come close to a loss as they go into OT against the Skins. McNabb was looking good and so was Schaub, but the Texans prevailed 30-27 OT. So now with all the stats out of the way, here is my pick. I am expecting the Texans to win like they did in the preseason. Go Texans!

Has the NFL Turned Soft?
Has the NFL Turned Soft?
The question I am asking is has the National Football League gone soft. My answer is yes. Football used to be nothing but contact. It used to be were players were muddy, bleeding, and sweating. You don't see that anymore. The NFL are treating these players like they are a bunch of little kids. Roughing the passer, really! The QB's are on the field, they have padding, and are wearing helmets. They are as vulnerable as any other player on the field. Now I will say there should be cases where they should call it. Like when the ball is clearly out of the QB's hands and then he gets laid out. Then they should throw the flag.
Helmet to helmet should also be allowed. But if the ball is nowhere near the WR, and he gets hit in the head. They should throw it. There should be exeptions with penalties. They should let the men play. It is a contact sport and they should leave it that way. I understand that they make these rules to protect the players but you should let them do there thing.
Some people don't like it when players celebrate. Personally I like it. I think celebration should spread to the NCAA. If you work hard for that touchdown you deserve to celebrate for it. I think it is hilarious when someone does a little dance in the endzone for their efforts. Drop the taunting rule NCAA and let the players boogie down!
The NFL has gone soft off the field as well. Like for instance Ben Roethlisberger. First his suspension was for 6 games, then the NFL made it for only 4 games. I feel what Big Ben did was disgraceful. He was a role model for probably a lot of kids and he goes and has an affair with some woman. I feel the same as Terry Bradshaw. Terry Bradshaw on the FOX pregame show told Ben how he felt. He said, " If it were my team he'd be gone." I agree 100%. The NFL should have made it 6 games.
