THE WORST OF THE WORST – NFL WEEK 1

Jay Cutler – Well now we know what happens when Devin Hester is the no.1 receiver for Cutler. Besides Hester (who is not a wide receiver) and tight ends Desmond Clark (who is out with a back injury) and Greg Olsen, Cutler has nobody to throw it to.

And since Matt Forte can’t carry the ball every play, Chicago’s offense is in trouble. And Green Bay exploited Sunday. Cutler threw four interceptions in a game that was only decided by six points by a touchdown pass from quarterback Aaron Rodgers with less than two minutes left.

Four interceptions… That is not what the Bears had in mind when they traded for Cutler, especially when a defensive tackle is the one who makes the interception. Although the 325 pound Johnny Jolly made an incredibly athletic play to make the catch, that is no excuse for a “pro-bowl caliber” quarterback to throw the ball into the hands of a defensive tackle.

The Redskins Offense – A total of five plays were run by the Washington Redskins offense in the first quarters against the Giants at the Meadowlands. That’s it.

Jason Campbell looked like a deer in the headlights lining up against Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora. And the New York defense loved every minute of it. Campbell couldn’t move the ball. Head coach Jim Zorn was not consistent with his play calling. And if it wasn’t for a fake field goal in the red zone that score a touchdown, the Redskins would have been down 17-0 at halftime.

Santana Moss was completely taken out of the game after getting a little too physical with defensive back Corey Webster. Campbell was totally unsuccessful throwing the deep ball. The Giants dominated the time of possession and the Redskins looked like they never had a chance (although they only lost by six).

Kurt Warner – The re-signing of Kurt Warner was supposed to help the Arizona Cardinals continue to be successful on offense. But when running back Tim Hightower is the team leader in receptions against the 49ers, there is a problem.

Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin only caught a combined total of eight passes and for 90 yards. Isn’t Warner supposed to spread the ball around a little more? Isn’t Warner supposed to be more successful with the deep ball? Didn’t the Cardinals win every game against an NFC West opponent last year?

Instead, the San Francisco defense intercepted two of his passes, completely shut down Arizona’s running game and won 20-16. Maybe the Cardinals won’t run away with this division after all.

HONORABLE MENTIONS – The Cincinnati Bengals (too easy), Jake Delhomme (way too easy), Andre Johnson (only four receptions for 35 yards). - Michael Klopman
