NFL Week 2: Nobody any good wore this number

Week kicks off with a real rivalry, Bears-Packers on Thursday night. It ends with Peyton facing the Falcons on Monday night. In between, all kinds of awesome Big Boy football!

Love the Thursday night matchup, although, if I was the Packers, I wouldn't be too happy about getting the Niners and Bears in back-to-back games.

If Week 2 is half as good as Week 1, I will be very happy.

 

Charlie Trippi wore #2 for a while.

 

How long a damn field goal does a dude have to kick to get his name in the thread title?

 

If only kickers weren't gay quarterbacks.

As for Thursday's game, while I would love to see another Packers loss, I have a hard time envisioning them 0-2. Jennings appears to be questionable, but Green Bay has 47 other capable receivers. And while the Bears tend to play better in this matchup on the road, Cutler, for all his improvements the last three years, has yet to play a decent game against the Pack. I expect Green Bay to win by 40. Maybe 50.

EDIT: I thought of Flutie, which is why I didn't mention him.

 

Manky just cracked Mercury Morris' dead cat in the head with a champagne bottle.

 

Don't forget the famous drop kick.

 

On ESPN.com, under each Week 2 game, they list the passing/rushing/receiving leader for each team. Under Browns passing, Benjamin Watson is listed. Compared to Weeden, that 0-for-0 for 0 yards IS damn impressive...

 

All of that about Cutler is true but this will be his first time as a Bear playing against Green Bay with actual NFL receivers on the roster.
