Some surprises in week 1.....but which one SURPRISED YOU THE MOST?
1. Shellacking that the Dolphins gave the Broncos
2. The annilihation of the Jets by the Chiefs
3. 49ers victory over the Rams
4. After all the Saints had to deal with on an emotional level, they come up with the win versus Carolina (Carolina who some pick to win the Super Bowl)
5. After a lackluster preseason the Steelers came to life in a big way.........

I think the Dolphins shocked me. Like most people I picked them to be last in their division as well as near the botton in the league. And hey remember, they have good ole "headbanger" Gus in at QB.......great win by the Dolphins............
Dolphins were a surprise, as were the 49ers and the Giants to an extent as well. Everyone has been hyping the Cards so much I'm actually glad they lost.
Early in the game when the Cards were up, I had ESPN radio on in the car on my way to the store and they were all set to put the Cards in the Super Bowl.

Most surprising to me was the Niners, I really expected the Rams to run up the score.
Hate to see the Niners win anything (arrogant co-worker).

Well I work with an arrogant Denver fan who thinks chump baily is worth the 98 rating he gets in madden, and that portis is just some punk who used the broncs sceme to get some money from the suckers that are the skins.
Tomorrow is gonna be fun:laughing-

The Giants lopsided win, to an extent. I figured the Cards defense to be tougher.
The Dallas win, to an extent. Figured Dallas wouldn't score that much, or give up that many points.
49ers and Dolphins big wins today... You gotta have them at 31 and 32 in most power rankings.
Interesting to see some of these media dorks backtrack on alot of these locks.

Very suprised by the Dolphins performance, the Steelers sudden awakening offensively with their 3rd string rb leading the way, and I seriously thought Minnesotta would play much better.

Dolphins drubbing of Denver was a huge shock.
I had a felling the cards would get wupped
The Vikes getting beat was a suprise to me although in retrospect the vikes haven't had all this new personnel for very long.
The most intriguing beat down was the chiefs feasting on the jets. I was in awe of how the chiefs D were all over the jets....shocking.

I omitted a large suprise and that was Orton. He wasn't the deer in the headlights that I expected although we also didn't blitz his ass that much, and he did make mistakes later in the game.
However for all the crapping on him that was happening pre game admittedly alot by me, he hung in there.

SF, no doubt. Great to see Denver stumble. And f*** the cards. Still, the gints and roids won, which sucked.
