Monday NFL recap - week 2

Steelers: My buddy was out of town at some family event watching on his Ipad. I was watching on my computer and listening to Steelers radio. He and I had to resort to texting one another during the game. He needs me to keep him from jumping off the bridge. I did that, and so did the refs.

• Miserable game with rain, rain, rain. The field was muddy, wet, and slippery. The ball was the same, and the scoring was certainly affected by the weather. 
• NFL Game Day Live on the beautiful pass from Big Ben after slipping on the wet grass to a wide open Antonio Brown who dropped it - "Business is not Boomin'"
• Brown missed out on his consecutive 100 yardage games, and he was certainly not in top form. Here's the thing. I could have predicted that. I follow the man on social media, and he is one cocky son of a gun. If I've said it once, I've said it a million times...cockiness leads to sloppiness, and you get too big for your britches, and screw up a good thing. Stay humble AB, my man, stay humble. Let your play speak. 
• Oh, and stop dancing in the end zone and teaching your children it is okay to go against policy by wearing the wrong shoes. Acting like a fine of roughly $20,000 is chump change to you? Not cool to those of us who feel $20 is a lot of money. Something tells me your maker isn't smiling down on you for any of last week's shenanigans. CUEUPU!
• Ben ran today and got a first down, but what was so cute was how excited he was in doing so, getting up off the field stair stepping it. Awwww, Ben. 
• Ever third quarter at a home game when we need a lift and some motivation or just a boost the stadium goes quiet and the sound system plays Styx's Renegade. The jumbo tran shows plays from the defense, and the entire stadium comes alive with waving Terrible Towels. It is a chilling moment when hearing and seeing it live, but yesterday Steelers Radio went silent and just aired the stadium as the song played, and it was just as chilling. Love that tradition. 
• Unfortunately, the Bengals did score despite Renegade, but both defenses were exhausted by that time.
• I'm thankful the game wasn't like the last time these two played. Other then trash talk I think it was fairly clean, and it should have been, but then Adam Pacman Jones has to be interviewed after the game, and evil spewed from his mouth. It just doesn't end with some of these guys.

Other:

• Maybe Rex Ryan removing his lap band for his brother and hiring him this year wasn't such a great idea. They are 0-2, fired the offensive coordinator, and the owners just had a meeting without Ryan. Trouble is a brewing. I just hope the Ryan brothers don't take out their frustration with food.
• Hot potato, hot potato was the name of the game between the Saints and the Giants in the first half. One team would fumble, the other would pick it up. Then that team would fumble and the other would pick it up. Over and over. I expected the weather to be the cause, but nope. Sunny day in New York.
•  NFL Game Day Live on Detroit Lions' kicker Ryan Succop who missed a gimme field goal wide left - "His last name says it all."
• Patriots back-up quarterback Garoppolo went down before halftime with a nice hit that injured his shoulder and tossed him out of the game, and maybe out until Brady returns. Secretly Tom Brady is relieved, huh?
• The poor Browns. If I wasn't in the same division as them, I'd feel terribly sorry for them. I feel bad for them. They lost RGIII who might have been their savior this season. Then their back up quarterback got injured, was replaced for awhile, and then returned to play hurt. They lost. At some point we all will be believers of a curse.
• Oh, and Jamesis Winston, you need to read my AB comments above. Last week was great, interview requests were ringing off the hook at One Buc Place, but getting caught up in your own greatness leads to oh, say, throwing four interceptions this week. Nice wake up call. Focus, remain humble, work hard, and come back stronger next week.
• My god, the Minnesota Vikings just can't catch a break so far this season. First quarterback Teddy Bridgewater goes down and is out most likely for the year, and last night running back Adrian Peterson went down with a leg injury. Despite all of that they keep winning. But for how long?
