What a great, great day for Panthers fans.
Only the most deluded of hardcore fans would have given us much of a chance going out west to play a Super-Bowl-shortlisted team with a strong D and one of the best 3 players in the league without our own best WR.
So what happens? An unheralded WR comes through with the game-winning TD catch to top off just under 100 yards receiving, we hold LT to just over 100 yards, which is awful for him, and Delhomme, so often considered overrated, comes through with a superb 2-minute drill. Absolutely awesome.
Bad news for Brady. Much as I don't like him, that really sucks for him.
Nicely-played debut by Favre in his first game as a Jet (still seems strange to say that).
Steelers' much-maligned offensive line was absolutely dominant against a very good defensive frontline. Willie Parker showing no ill effects from missing most of last year either. Great day for him.
Michael Turner was superb as LT's backup, and you just knew he was going to do well if ever given a starting job. 220 yards in his debut as a starter, though? Wow.
McNabb looking good, too. If he can do that against better opposition than the Rams, he'll silence a lot of critics. DeSean Jackson could very well be the find of the season for the Eagles.
My pictures of the week. I love good action pics as well as ones that really communicate the intensity in the game, especially those taken pre-snap.
