Shootout in Big D - NFL Monday Night Football Wrap Up Week 2

If you watched the game last night you saw an amazing display of fireworks coming from each team. I for one had picked the Eagles because they normally play the Cowboys tight and something about Tony Romo with the ball in hands (or lack there of) at the end of a big game. This was a heavyweight slugfest with the Cowboys coming out on top. Things I noticed:

Donovan McNabb - Man, I'm sorry. I had you pegged as delirious with your proclamation that you guys were going to win big this year, along with SI forecasting that the Eagles will be in the Superbowl this year. I talked about you not having anyone to throw the ball too, except Westbrook and LJ Smith (whom you ignored last night and cost me my Fantasy Football game), but you are proving me wrong after week 2. Has anyone, and I mean anyone thought about how good this guy could be with a legit #1 receiver? Again, can't they get Anquan Boldin?

DeSean Jackson - Set a record by having two 100+ yard games in his first two starts. Will forever be remembered for his (2nd) bonehead play to toss the ball away at the one, something close to a Leon Lett play. Dude, finish the play, then celebrate. I'm not going to ride him because everyone else will do that for weeks and years to come, thanks to You Tube.

Marion Barber III - Ummmmm,......I'm not sure how much better this guy can get. He runs hard, catches the ball well, and seems to be pretty durable when you consider his running style. Should we be mentioning this guy as one of the best in the game now? Right up there with LT and Adrian Peterson?

Tony Romo - I guess if we just get this guy some stickum, he'll be ok. He really only made about 4 bad plays last night, and two of them happened on the fumble (the fumble and then not falling on the ball to give the Eagles the safety instead of the TD).

T.O. - What's his fascination with Usain Bolt? This is the second week in a row that T.O. has impersonated the sprinter during a game. Last week it was getting in the starting block and firing off after his TD (which he was fined for, stupid move by the league), and then on his 72 yard TD reception last night he broke the tape at the end zone as he crossed the line. T.O. became #2 on the NFL Career Receiving TD list. He's only a mere 65 behind Jerry Rice (yes, Rice was that good).

This game puts Cowboys are 2-0 and the Eagles at 1-1. The NFC East will be exciting this year if the games are played like this. I ended the week going 12-3 on picks, so all in all a good week.
