First off. Calvin Johnson's No-Touchdown catch was a touchdown catch. I know the rule says the player must maintain possession through the catch, but didn't he do that. If you didn't see it than here is a link to it.

How is this not a catch? I get the rule, but the rule is crap. And this is coming from someone who likes the Bears. I grew up liking the Bears. But I also like to see a fair game. That is a horrible rule. Must be changed ASAP! 'Nuff said.
Next thing I noticed is about Mark Sanchez. Everyone is killing Sanchez saying how horrible he is. He is not horrible, he is a good player. In my opinion, here are the problems. The coaches seem to be coaching him to just not make a mistake and let the defense and the running game win it. Thats all well and good, but let the kid play some.
The expectations on him are too high. Why? Well he is from USC, 1st round pick to the New York Jets, so the biggest city in the world. Everyone dubbed him "The Sanchize" and the 2nd coming of Joe Willie Namath. He won in the playoffs last season. Rex Ryan has been calling everyone else out and then the Hard Knocks show that the Jets are on. So basically everyone expects him to be Peyton Manning or Tom Brady right now. He is not them, and shouldn't be expected to be.
Lay off the kid, let him just grow and play. He will be fine and time will prove that. Just don't expect him to be great in his 2nd year and don't go off of fantasy numbers. That's not real football.
To this weeks games.
Game of the Week: This is tough, I wanted to go Patriots at Jets. There is a lot of hate there and it should be a good game, but I'm not
I'm going with Giants at Colts on Sunday Night Football. Manning Bowl II. Thats reason enough. Here is the deal though. The Colts could be 0-2 if they lose, who would've thought that? Not me. I think Peyton is going to come out with something to prove after last weeks loss. The loss of Bob Sanders hurts the Colts, but he is always hurt so they are used to not playing with him. The Giants come in with a dangerous team and I like their receiving corps. There will be lots of hoopla surrounding this game.
I don't believe a little brother should be a older brother and I am waffling and not too confident about this pick, but I will pick the Colts because they are at home.
Lock of the Week: Packers over Bills. Here you have one of the top 5 teams against maybe the worst and the Packers are at home. I see no way the Bills win this.
Upset of the Week: I could say the Chiefs over the Browns since the Chiefs technically are underdogs, but thats not really going out on a limb. I will pick Redskins over Texans. I think its a close game, its in D.C. and I like the Redskins D. It will be close, but I am just going to take the Skins.
