"A-Manning" and "Special K" score big, NFL Week #1

Peyton Manning and Colin Kapernick proved a point this weekend with big impressive wins against tough opponents. The Niners and Broncos are going to be red Xs on every teams calendar.

Russell Wilson and Cam Newton did not impress us at all.
Oakland's QB Pryor, EJ Manuel and Carson Palmer played tough, showed grit and came up short.
Teams that showed major weaknesses and needs moving forward. New England Patriots and the New York Giants.
Dallas and the New York Jets showed promise in major wins for their franchises. Geno Smith beat the Bucs with the help of a rejuvenated defense and a stupid shove. Romo's Cowboys showed up enough to finally beat the Giants at home thanks to 7 turn overs......
Who will be showing up on the Trade and Waiver wires soon: Glaubert, Sanchez, Tebow, Wilson and Akers.
There are two games left in week one. Does your Fantasy Football Team need an RGIII miracle????
Mine does, thanks to Peyton and Brady...............

Tim Tebow changing positions

Tim Tebow reportedly gets inquiry to change positions - NFL.com:

"TheMMQB.com's Peter King reported Thursday night on NBC that Tebow received an 'inquiry' from an NFL team about possibly trying another position, but Tebow wasn't interested. Tebow reportedly also received some interest from USA Rugby in changing sports. That's not happening.

It's hard to knock Tebow for his unwillingness to change positions. He hasn't made it at quarterback, and there's little reason to think he could succeed at another spot. Tebow tipped his intentions after the Patriots released him when he wrote on Twitter: 'I will remain in relentless pursuit of continuing my lifelong dream of being an NFL quarterback.'

Perhaps another team will let Tebow take a shot at pursuing that dream next offseason when rosters expand to 90 men again. It's hard to imagine him getting a job at quarterback in the meantime.

Football is back: Tips for Week 1 after Broncos win.

Football is back: Tips for Week 1 - NFL.com 

Delayed for thirty minutes by lightning the NFL opener  was worth the wait. At first Manning and Flacco traded touchdowns while the Ravens defense looked like it could live without Ray Lewis and veteran CB Revis. Then the 3rd quarter turned into a Madden NFL video game with my nephew playing the Peyton Manning character. One blown non-challenge flag by Ravens Head Coach Harbaugh on a Wes Welker catch turned the Ravens defense into jelly. Peyton Manning found two new favorite receivers while scoring 35 points in the third quarter. While the Broncos defense turned the Ravens into tackling dummies.

The Broncos even left a few points on the board. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000239045/article/broncos-lb-danny-trevathan-has-blooper-to-remember

Tebow cut by Patriots

Tebow's skills not enough for Patriots - ESPN:

"Tebow is likely headed somewhere else"

Three Quarterbacks are hard to keep around on a 53 man roster. But the kid did cause Mallet to sweat and he appeared to have the backing and encouragement of Brady. If Tebow does not get picked up by the Bills they should fold the franchise. Not too long ago the Patriots sucked really bad and brought in a guy named Flute. Doug actually sparked the rebirth of the franchise. Buffalo is a mess, perhaps that is where Tim should go?
