Week 2 Recap - Limerick Style

Here's Round 2 of the yet-to-be-named Limerick game recaps. Since I'm not very clever with names, if you have one that you think would sound good, feel free to send it my way to NFLStrikesBack@gmail.com.

As always, you get what you pay for:

Sunday, September 14th, 2008

Tennessee 24, Cincinnati 7

Anyone feel like it’s 1996?
With a rejuvenated Kerry Collins in the mix
Chris Johnson made the Bengals look slow
And yes, they still really blow
I’m not sure this is something anyone can fix.

Green Bay 48, Detroit 25

Rodgers is winning Green Bay over more each down
As he kicked the Lions defense all over town
Kitna tried to bring it back
His D cut him no slack
and Matt Millen continues to look like a clown.

Oakland 23, Kansas City 8

Run DMC caught fire in Kansas City
As he ran through the Chiefs, showing no pity
Herm played to win the game
Lost just the same
And once again, came out looking shitty.

NY Giants 41, St. Louis 13

Someone needs to call 9-1-1
Cause the Giants are killing opponents for fun
The Rams couldn’t keep it tight
Didn’t even put up a fight
I think it’s time for Linehan to be done.

Indianapolis 18, Minnesota 15

The Vikings endure another heart-breaking defeat
This time at the "hands" of Vinatieri’s feet
AP, once again, ran All Day
But Jackson just couldn’t make the play
With him at Q, Minnesota won’t be able to compete.

(Commish's Note: Jackson out, Frerotte in. Did I call that or what?)

Washington 29, New Orleans 24

Campbell to Moss was prolific in the Redskins win
As they came out of the collective coma they were in
The Saints held a big lead
Should have won it indeed
But Portis and Co. sent the Saints faithful packin’

Carolina 20, Chicago 17

The first half again was the Matt Forte show
Boy, did he make the Bears offense really go
But the Cardiac Cats kept it real
And in the end, closed the deal
For their second victory in a row.

Buffalo 20, Jacksonville 16

Rookie James Hardy’s touchdown gave Buffalo the lead
As Jacksonville struggled to play at full speed
Jax did nothing well
And only time will tell
If injuries will allow the Jaguars to succeed.

San Francisco 33, Seattle 30

The Luck of the Irish fell San Fran's way
as JT O'Sully had a career-yardage day
Nedney missed one to seal it
but eventually did steal it
as Seattle was left in dismay.

Tampa Bay 24, Atlanta 9

Turner was brought back to Earth this week
as the Bucs left Atlanta beaten and meek
Graham torched their poor D
while journeyman Griese
sent Atlanta home looking bleak.

New England 19, NY Jets 10

For another week, it looks like Brady wasn't missed
Cassel wins again, despite being dissed
Favre was mortal against the Hood
the Jets' play wasn't good
and those who drafted Moss should be pissed.

Arizona 31, Miami 10

Boldin was golden as he found paydirt thrice
and Warner was money while Fitzy was nice
Miami looked bad,
the Tuna is sad
as his 'Phins start the season losing twice.

Denver 39, San Diego 38

Defense was optional for these divisional foes
as Cutler and Rivers completed dozens of throws
But a blown call was made,
causing the Charger's D to fade
and the Broncs join the other 2 and 0's

Pittsburgh 10, Cleveland 6

Hurricane Ike wreaked havoc Sunday night
As points were scarce in this rain-laden fight
All it took was Big Ben
finding Hines Ward again
to set Cleveland's hopes and dreams alight.

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Romo was firing all over the field
McNabb responded as the Birds wouldn't yield
The Eagles played tough
but a dump pass on 4th wasn't enough
as the Cowboys victory was sealed.

This Week's picks: 8-7
Season: 8-7 (No Week 1 picks)
