“NFL–YOU DON’T WANT TO START (0-2) DO YOU?” ===

by | Sep 18, 2026 |

You don’t want to start an NFL season (0-2).

And so we begin week two of the schedule with one big name team in trouble.

BILLS-LIONS..Detroit never showed up, giving up (299Y) in the opening half in Buffalo that started with a (27-7) deficit…When it ended, Josh Allen accounted for 5TD-the Bills had 446Y) in offense….Injuries ripping the Lions for the 3rd year in a row.  Detroit never imagined being (0-2).

CHARGERS-RAIDERS..Last week was an embarrassment-last week will be a 1-off for the Bolts.  I assume the Chargers come out throwing alot and come out blitzing….Only alternative idea, the Raiders saw what Arizona did last week to Justin Herbert and they do the same..and the Raiders run Ashton Jeanty-Mike Washington against a banged up Bols defensive front…Harbaugh better not start (0-2)

CAROLINA-ATLANTA..All the Falcons QBs are ailing, injuries or rehab-they have a problem..Of course they have Bijan Robinson at RB

VIKINGS-BEARS…How does Minnesota’s  defense a Chicago offense that had (59P) and (532Y) last weekend, and survive with Carson Wentz at QB?

EAGLES-TITANS…QB-Cam Ward-meet Jerome Carter and that Philly frontline.

STEELERS-PATRIOTS..Interesting matchup, the aggressive Pittsburgh pass rush vs QB-Drake Maye-who does not have injured WR-AJ Brown, nor much of a run game.  Pats going to be (0-2)?

PACKERS-JETS…Jordan Love-vs-Geno Smith-vs two teams with bad defenses.  What a shocker if Green Bay is (0-2) by Sunday night.

CLEVELAND-TAMPA BAY…Think Baker Mayfield wants to run up a score on a team that set him adrift?  Think it’s going to be hard on Deshaun Watson for a second week in a row?

RAVENS-SAINTS…Some start for Lamar Jackson-Derrick Henry last week.  Jesse Minter’s defense faces New Orleans QB-Tyler Shough, who threw for (410) last Sunday.

BENGALS-TEXANS.Joe Burrow and his bombs away offense meets CJ Stroud and the Texans defense.  Can you believe Houston might be (0-2) by the end of the weekend?

DENVER-JACKSONVILLE..That was a really ugly defensive night, the Broncos terrible loss in Kansas City.  Now they get Trevor Lawrence and a high octane Jags offense…Denver has to get its offense going.  No way Sean Payton would be (0-2) after Sunday?

DALLAS-WASHINGTON…The Cowboys defense did not play as expected…and Washington’s likely poor season got off to a losing start last week.  Somebody goes to (0-2)- better not be Dallas.

SEATTLE-ARIZONA…Can the Cardinals duplicate last weekend’s stunning win?  Can the Seahawks take a step forward with a backup QB?

SAN FRANCISCO-MIAMI…Brock Purdy’s hot start continues against a bad Dolphins team.

CHIEFS-COLTS..Some opening night win from Mahome-Walker-Kelce and the K-C defense…Indianapolis could be the next victim.

RAMS-GIANTS…Interesting matchup on the West Coast….Aaron Donald will return to the lineup-but there won’t be a Myles Garrett next to him..NY comes off a big win-so Jaxson Dart-Cam Skattebo will face a big challenge from Sean McVay’s defense…Can the Giants  pull off another upset-would the Rams be (0-2) after Monday Night Football?
