Week 1 Review
My Chinese language learning website is nearly ready. I’ve had time to invest in it recently, and I got some useful feedback from friends who have previewed the site. Once it’s ready, I need to edit the existing content and prepare a generous amount of initial content for a proper launch.
Meanwhile, the first week of NFL games have been completed. I realized that I forgot to make a prediction for the winner of the San Francisco / Arizona matchup. Based on my feelings about those teams, I probably would have not expected the 49ers to upset the Cardinals, so I start at 0-1. Here are the other results:
- Steelers beat the Titans: and, just like last year, they play to their opponent’s level. Are the Titans that good? I guess we’ll have to see next week.
- Bengals lost to the Broncos: if not for that late game miracle, I would have gotten this one right. This is why they play the games.
- Texans lost to the Jets: Sanchez beat the odds, and the Texans still suck.
- Vikings beat the Browns
- Saints beat the Lions
- Colts beat the Jaguar: and I was right, it was close. It will be interesting to see how both these teams do in Week 2
- Ravens beat the Chiefs: the surprise here is how effective the Chiefs offense was.
- Cowboys beat the Buccaneers
- Patriots beat the Bills: but really, the Bills gave the game to the Patriots
- Panthers lost to the Eagles: and lost doesn’t even come close to describing it. Here’s the fun thing: could Vick become the Eagles starting QB?
- Giants beat the Redskins: and it should not have been as close as it was.
- Seahawks beat the Rams
- Bears lost to Packers: and it was an interesting game.
- Falcons beat the Dolphins
- Chargers beat the Raiders: and it was much closer than it should have been. What’s up with San Diego?
Well, I am a very respectable 11-5 for this week. That was much better than I did last year at any point. Maybe now that I can watch ESPN at home, I am learning something about sports.
