NFL Football News after Week Two

Some interesting headlines coming out across the wire after all but one game is finished for week two of the NFL.

Kolb Back and will start in Week Three

Eagles QB Kevin Kolb will be back for Week 3, despite the strong performance from Michael Vick against the Detroit Lions.

Eagles head coach Andy Reid said, "I think it's a beautiful situation. I look at it a lot differently that a lot of people look at it. I've got two quarterbacks who can play at a very important position."

Vick will still see action out of the Wildcat formation.

Moore Benched, Leading way for Clausen

Fans of the Carolina Panthers will see Jimmy Clausen taking the snaps this Sunday after head coach John Fox announced he is benching Matt Moore.

Moore has compiled a 0-2 record and six turnovers since officially taking over the starting job this season.

I guarantee Fox has his fingers crossed Clausen can do the job better than Moore. His pants are starting to get a little warm and the threat of the longest tenure for any NFL coach might be on the line because of it.

Buffalo Bills changing QB's as Well

Two losses have the Buffalo Bills already pulling their No. 1's, hoping the No. 2's can perform better.

Try as he may, QB Trent Edwards is now losing the starting gig to Ryan Fitzpatrick who will make the start this week against the New England Patriots.

I remember when Fitzpatrick played for the St. Louis Rams several years ago and came out and took over for an injured Marc Bulger and threw for almost 400 yards in one game.

The seventh round QB must have been using that knowledge he earned playing for Harvard to stay in the NFL as long as he has. No offense, but he hasn't lived up the hype since that first appearance. It won't be looking any better on the road against Tom Brady either.
